I will review this article. String Theory¹¹ 04:46, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but I will have to quick-fail this article due to a SEVERE lack of sources and bad prose. I feel that I have to downgrade this article to a C, which I have done. String Theory¹¹ 18:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A few preliminary points to work on:

There is a citation needed in the lead. This will need to be fixed.

The references in the "further reading" section are not complete.

Refs 1, 2, 8, 10-13, and 17 need to be more than bare URLs.

Many refs need access dates.

This article has many unreferenced paragraphs. I am of the opinion that every paragraph should have at least one reference before an article is a GA.

I would rename "sources" to "natural sources", and move all artificial source info into "production". Also, the section needs to be expanded.
Many subsections in "intrinsic properties" are too short to comfortably be sections. I believe that if a section only has one paragraph, it is not worthy of a section. Either expand these or merge then with other sections.
"Neutron compounds" should be a subsection of "intrinsic properties".

More to come later. String Theory¹¹ 04:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
