Maybe by doing the translation, I can help improve this page from its stub classification to an a-level class. Emekadavid (talk) 04:11, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Translation finished. Have to make a request for peer review. Emekadavid (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit

Per tag, copyedited this. Feedback encouraged. Comments:

The big issue with this piece is that it draws uncited conclusions from its mostly primary sources. WP relies on secondary sources, and editors are supposed to keep their own voices muted. This was full of "this is important" rather than "so and so says this is important" and that was and still is the least of its offenses. It reads like the kind of secondary source that WP tries to cite. I.e., it should be in a peer-reviewed journal instead of WP.
I added lots of titles and a few other bits to the refs and consolidated a few cites into a single ref.
I pulled out a lot of the opinion/OR stuff, but in some cases that would have broken the section, so I left them in.
Changed the person in many parts from 2nd to 3rd, as per WP convention.
The article remains too long, although it is down by 7-8% in wordcount.

Good luck with this important piece. Cheers! Lfstevens (talk) 02:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. Yes, it is too long and was written as a journal review article (unencyclopedic tone, which is why I tagged it for copyedit). Materialscientist (talk) 23:39, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing basic description of this chemical, unbalanced article

Do the writers of this aricle presume that the only possible interest, now or in the future, in xenon monochloride, is as a laser excimer? It is fine to explain some of the laser excimer stuff, but this article is unbalanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.35.45.38 (talk) 16:50, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is only stable as an excimer, and the use is in lasers. But perhaps there is more to say! The article is very large already though. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:33, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
