Created by A. T. Galenitis (talk). Self-nominated at 12:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC).
Article is new and is nominated within the first 7 days of creation. The prose is at least 1500 characters. The writing is neutral and I could not find any copyright violations. This looks to be the nominator's first nomination so QPQ check is bypassed. However, some lines don't seem to have been cited. As for the hooks, I would go for ALT1 as "revolutionized" seems to be ambiguous and subjective. On a minor note, there are some formatting symbols that should be replaced; I noticed that some hyphens were bolded when they shouldn't be. For the line "In 1930 he married Hildegard Lange (from then on known as Hildegard Zerva) and they remained together for the rest of their lives until the death of Leonidas", I would probably reword it as "In 1930, he married Hildegard Lange, and they remained together until his death." lullabying (talk) 20:34, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Dear @Lullabying:, thank you for the review! I fixed some of the issues in the article as per recommendations. For the hook, I only chose "revolutionised" (which I find subjective myself) as it is quoted as such in the source (The Chemistry of Polypeptides); agreeing this could be improved I rewrote and added an ALT2 hook with more factual wording. Will be happy to change anything else as required. Regards, A. T. Galenitis (talk) 08:23, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing. It looks good to go. The images on the page look properly licensed too. The first ALT looks good. lullabying (talk) 01:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
