I've listed this article for peer review because I wanted to promote this article to featured status sometime soon.

Thanks, Keresluna (talk) 17:35, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From a quick read, I think the main point of improvement before FAC should be sourcing. Many of the sources are quite old, and the article relies a lot on a single source. The FA criteria expect you show it is well-researched, which typically requires up-to-date scholarship. Of course, a lot of the basics won't have changed much, so a complete rewrite won't be necessary.

A second major point is the structure of the article. The later uses section described chlorine used as a weapon, but this also has a separate section below. Similarly, it is unclear why "Semmelweis and experiments with antisepsis" is not in 'later use'.

Additional comments:

SCl2, SOCI2, ClF3, ICl, ICl3, TiCl3, TiCl4, MoCl5, FeCl3, ZnCl2, and so on.. I don't see the point of enumerating them all, nor what 'and so on' means.
Syria is a very small section, you should probably merge Iraq and Syria into '21st century' or something.
The Syrian government has allegedly used chlorine -> is more known now? If it has become an established fact, the word allegedly should be dropped
Medical sources have to be of very high quality (for the section biological role), see WP:MEDRS
The toxicity of chlorine comes (...) unsourced

Hope these work as a first pointer. Excited to see somebody work on an important article as this. FemkeMilene (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
