GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

This article is being reviewed as part of the WikiProject Good Articles. We're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. So I will be assessing the article.Pyrotec (talk) 21:57, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say this is not a good article. Assertions are not adequately referenced. "Uses" section should be reorganized thematically, and ordered by importance. General or trivial uses should be minimized or removed; it is impossible to list them all. Many points raised are common to sodium and potassium hydroxides, not specific to this compound. Safety section should skip preamble. WP:CHEM style guide should be considered (WP:CHEMMOS). See hydrochloric acid for inspiration. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 16:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

This is quite a reasonably comprehensive article, however it lacks WP:verification in a substantial number of sections. The article is only graded as a B-class article by WP:Chemicals, which I consider to be an appropriate rating. I'm therefore delisting this as a GA.

Once the article has been brought up to standard by adding suficient references and in-line citations, it can be renominated got GA-status at WP:GAN.Pyrotec (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
