Created by EdChem (talk). Article moved from User:EdChem/(+)-Benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide on 3 June 2016 Self-nominated at 18:20, 3 June 2016 (UTC).

In fact, the long name may draw attention to the hook. How about this? Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 01:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

@Antony-22: Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure that the name helps, but I'm open to the views of others. However, I have struck your ALT1 and provided an ALT1a because it is not the compound that is pictured. EdChem (talk) 13:53, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

If we are going to send lay people to this article, should the lead not be written so that they can understand it, per WP:EXPLAINLEAD? Quasihuman (talk • contribs) 20:40, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

@Quasihuman: The article is one section, so it doesn't really have a lead, but any suggestions / edits to improve the article are welcome. PS: ALT1a is much preferable, in my view. EdChem (talk) 13:11, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
  • New enough (created by EdChem on 3 June 2016, long enough (3,338 characters "readable prose size"). Not fully referenced. The key sentences supporting the hook, the last two of the third paragraph, require a reference. Image appropriately licensed. QPQ done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:23, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
@Hawkeye7: I have added a PNAS reference, hopefully that is sufficient.  :) EdChem (talk) 13:33, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Good enough for me. Main and ALT1a hooks both fine. Good to go! The only improvement to the article that i would suggest is criterion B3: a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. Which is to say that the addition of a heading is all that stands between the article and a B class rating. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:06, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Quasihuman: I have added some explanation and put in structure. Is this any better, in your opinion? EdChem (talk) 13:27, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Hawkeye7: I have made some structural changes and added some content. Is it still ok and does this alter its rating? EdChem (talk) 13:27, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
    Sure. Re-assessed as B. WP:Chem has different rating scale than the one used by Aviation/Bio/MilHist/ships that I'm more used to. But it would now rank as a B under any of them. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:53, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
  • To the closer / promoter: the more I think about it, the more I prefer ALT1a, but of course it's your call. Thanks. EdChem (talk) 13:27, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
