Wikipedia:Peer review/Mass spectrometry/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've listed this article for peer review because… I feel it is a good article. It has a lot of information but it's missing that extra little bit in terms of formating for wikipedia (which should be fairly straight forward for someones that's used to it)

Thanks,

  • I don't think it's quite FA-ready yet. Here are a few suggestions:
    • The bulleted list at the end of the lead should be converted into prose. Also the lead isn't really a consise summary of the article.
    • A number of the sections are inadequately referenced, or not at all. I should expect to see about 1-2 references per paragraph.
    • The first usage of a unit should be wikilinked, as per "23u".
    • Please run the page through a spelling/grammar checker. I'm finding errors such as "travelled", "accelarates", "ionisation", "analyser" and "Labelling". (Unless these are British English spellings.) Is "quantitation" a word?
    • There are too many one-sentence paragraphs. Most of these should be expanded or merged. There may also be too many one-paragraph sections. In the "Other Separation Techniques Combined with Mass spectrometry" section, for example, I'm not sure I see the benefit of three different one-paragraph sections. That would work just as well with wikilinks in place of the "See also the main article on...".
    • I shouldn't be seeing the article title repeated in the table of contents, per Wikipedia:MoS#Section_headings.
    • Most of your references appear to be in decent shape, with the exception of note #29, which consists of just a link.
    • You may need to clean out some of the External links section per the tag.
    • I'd like to see a few more illustrations in the article to help out with the concepts.
    Thank you.—RJH (talk) 20:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
