I do not believe this article meets the current standards for featured articles. Some of the problems:


 * Insufficient citations
 * Sloppy references
 * Tables are not standardised

On the upside the photographs are spot on. - Francis Tyers · 15:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment This FAR wasn't listed here until I stumbled upon it and added it here. The 4 week period should begin from today. LuciferMorgan 02:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Doesnt currently meet the FA standard.


 * Increase size of lead to at least two large paras
 * The effects sections is very short and should also be expanded
 * Citations must be improved
 * not sure about the table of Gases used, could this be turned into prose.

A bit of work to do. Hossen27 05:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Status &mdash; refs need a lot of work; not only are more inline cites in order, but they are just hyperlinks. No formal details or format for those refs, either.
 * The prose &mdash; needs a runthrough. I found some redundancies on a quick scan, such as "in order" to. Most cases of "over (insert number here)" should be changed to "more than (insert number here)". Just minor stuff. &mdash; Deckiller 23:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concerns are number and quality of references (1c), formatting issues (2), and prose (1a). Marskell 07:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Remove for now &mdash; lingering 1a issue, and 1c and 2 (mostly 2 in relation to references). &mdash; Deckiller 01:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove per Deckiller's reasoning. LuciferMorgan 22:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove per above.--Yannismarou 14:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
