Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

Hi, I'll begin reviewing here, and will make straightforward changes as I go (hopefully with explanations in edit summaries). Feel free to revert changes which inadvertently change the meaning. I will post queries below. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:43, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~For flow in the lead, I think I'd put para 2 above para 3 as one wants to know what it is before what else it attacks.~~

I agree. Done!--Daniel Cavallari (talk) 19:07, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would have thought 'alkaline' was more widely understood and less ambiguous than 'basic' these days...(?)

I feel the material is too short in the History section to warrant subsection. It also interrupts with the flow of storytelling.

~~The first time someone is mentioned by name, I feel adding a couple of descriptors is valuable in understanding (usually nationality and occupation, eg. English naturalist, American zoologist etc.)~~

Their deep analysis, involving many complex and sophisticated techniques,... - this leaves me curious, and does come across as a little patronising - eg 'too complicated for you poor readers to know.' I am sure some discussion can be included here :)

Yes, I believe you are right. I have access to this paper, so I put in some more detail. Surprisingly enough, there were articles covering all the techniques. That's very good! --Daniel Cavallari (talk) 16:07, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Details of the chemical reactions is a little unwieldy as a heading. Could be simply 'chemistry' or even 'biochemistry'.

1. Well written?:

Prose quality: will not be checked (I am not good at English.)

Improve this "In the first case," to much detailed.

Manual of Style compliance:

proposal: Clarification and Resolution merge to "Discovery of the cause".
proposal: Process Rename to "Chemistry" and ommitt caption name "Details of the chemical reactions". (Add PVC reaction if needed.)
proposal: Add wikilinks to the materials in table row "Archival materials without acidic fumes". Added.

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:

References to sources:

Not referenced PVC problem.

Done.

Citations to reliable sources, where required:

No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:

Major aspects:

Not explained, why the PVC is problem.

Done.

Now explained and supported by Sturm (2006).--Daniel Cavallari (talk) 22:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Focused:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:

Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?

No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:

Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

One alt text missing.
I will crop the File:File:Bynesian Decay 001.JPG. May I? --Snek01 (talk) 18:53, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Please go ahead.--Daniel Cavallari (talk) 19:04, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cropped and colors altered. --Snek01 (talk) 23:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about to add one sentence about an alternative way/ways(?) of storage? The only alternative is ethanol, I think.
A link to display case... ?
