GA Reassessment

Notifying @Sandbh:.

Look, I know that you have worked on an article so hard, yet the article gets reassessed and it seems like no one cares about you. But, I really do understand your stress, and thus I don't nominate Nonmetal for community assessment, because surely the FAC people will batch you into death. I want this article to be way better than this now. And you are not alone, I also has SpaceX Starship being culled for review even after so many months of work.

Anyways, the primary reason I want to reassess the article is at criteria 1a (the prose is clear, concise...), 1b (complies with the manual of style guidelines...) and 3a (it addresses the main aspects of the topic) at here. I have a feeling that this article is written in a way that break the prose badly, shown one example below (criteria 1a + 1b):

The distinction between metals and nonmetals arose, in a convoluted manner, from a crude recognition of natural kinds of matter. Thus:

matter could be divided into pure substances and mixtures;
pure substances eventually could be distinguished as compounds and elements;
"metallic" elements seemed to have broadly distinguishable attributes that other elements did not...

I also has concerns at the comprehensiveness of the article. What are the enormous uses of the nonmetals? How does nonmetals are discovered since the ancient times? Why do the nonmetal criteria is so convoluted? How about bio-compatibility? There's much to discuss. (criterion 3a)

I want to mention accessibility and layout problems as well, but that's for another time. There's a ton of work to do already :) CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 16:16, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep and close this GAR

I see no reasons for a GAR on this article at all. I don't think CactiStaccingCrane is capable of appraising the prose given the gibberish they have written on this page. What on Earth does "How does nonmetals are discovered since the ancient times?" mean? The question is totally incomprehensible. The review of SpaceX Starship has absolutely nothing to do with this article or its GA status. This nomination just comes across as some sort of convoluted tit for tat and is disruptive editing.

Ok, whatever. If you guys don't like it, then there's no reason for me to continue further. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep and close this WP:IGF GAR
I intend to edit the article in light of feedback rec’d at FAC #4, and to then list it for the second time at PR. Concerns of the kind raised above, if still outstanding, can be listed in that forum. Sandbh (talk) 23:04, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
