Article title

 * Diborane(2)

Article Evaluation

 * The article should have a better lead section which explains the basics of the molecule better such as what the (2) means and that there are other classes of diboranes. The article has the general information on diborane(2) but mentions other diborenes without discussing them further. There has been several studies on diborenes and their applications in catalysis but the article doesn't mention it. There are good sources cited that give a lot of information on the topic, I think more could be includes from these articles. The article doesn't have any sections, it just contains one paragraph with all the information in it. Additionally, some information in the wikipedia article seems confusing/misleading. The article is a good start but can be expanded.

Article title

 * Chromium(II) acetate

Article Evaluation
'The article has a good lead that concisely describes an overview of the complex. Each section is explained clearly, however, some sections have claims that lack citations. The structure section has a lot of information as compared to the applications and preparation sections. It only mentions one way of preparation, I think some more information should be added on other ways the complex can be prepared. The article is organized well with all required sections and an infobox that contains a lot of information. The article is a good start with a good structure, but requires more information in certain sections.'

Article title

 * Chemoselectivity

Article Evaluation
'The article has a concise lead that describes what the article is about. The article doesn't contain any sections it just has one paragraph. There are only two citations and one unfinished citation. There are claims that are missing citations. The article should contain sections on what can cause chemoselecitivty and examples of these. The article doesn't contain images, which would be very useful because the sentence "preferential outcome of a chemical reaction over a set of possible alternative reaction" can be difficult to visualize. The article is a decent start, however, there isn't a great organization currently and there are some vague sentences and claims without references.'

Article title

 * Decalin

Article Evaluation
'The article has a very strong lead that concisely describes its purpose. The article should include more sections. Specifically, the occurrence section is confusing and should be called synthesis and cite examples of how it has been made. Additionally, the article mentions decalin derivatives but doesn't talk about therm further. I think there should be more information on their derivatives because there are several studies discussing their applications and synthesis.'

Article title
Tetralin

Article Evaluation
'The article has a very strong lead that concisely describes its purpose. The citations are good but the first reference isn't cited in the article. There should be a section discussing tetralin derivatives since they have a variety of applications. Some of the sentences are confusing and seem unrelated, or they aren't explained well enough for the reader to understand what that mean. There is a good use of images which clarifies the synthesis process. The article is a good start, however, some sentences are confusing and too short, which makes it hard to understand what the article is intending to say.'
