Vitamin E

(

)

... that vitamin E acetate, used as a thickening agent in illicit, non-tobacco, vaping cartridges, is suspected as being a cause of lung injury?

Source: Ref 107-112 in the vitamin E article confirm that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that vitamin E acetate is a likely cause of vaping lung injury.

ALT1: ... that Vitamin E was named "tocopherol" from the Greek words "tókos" and "phérein" meaning to birth and to bear/carry, as the compound was identified as essential for live births in rats?

Source: Ref Evans 1938 in History section confirms origin of 'tocopherol'.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - ALT1 is a bare few characters over 200, easy fix, probably trim the definition a bit.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks pretty good, I personally prefer ALT1 as a bit more interesting(rats make everything more interesting). While it doesn't seem to be an issue, I will note here that Earwig's Copyvio Detector did flag the entirety of the Vitamin E#Biosynthesis section as copied from 'ysgsolution.com'. Although, given that the site isn't on any archive I tried, and the section was added with inline cites by @David notMD: back in 2018, I think it's safe to say Wikipedia was the one copied from, so that's a non-issue for this.

@David notMD: Alright then!

Approved from me! Thanks friend!

Thank you. Looking forward to how much of a spike a DYK generates. David notMD (talk) 17:20, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Let me suggest a minor copyedit:

ALT1a: ... that Vitamin E was named "tocopherol" from the Greek "tókos" (to birth) and "phérein" (to bear/carry), having been identified as essential for live births in rats?
