According to the formula at the bottom of /info/en/?search=Rydberg_constant#Occurrence_in_Bohr_model the deuterium lines should be blueshifted (=shorter wavelength), but the article says (here: /info/en/?search=Harold_Urey#Deuterium) that they should be redshifted. This needs further verification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.101.86.50 ( talk) 09:12, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Reviewed article and Talk page. Don't know why this remains. Jplvnv ( talk) 01:52, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
I removed this text, because it has remained unsourced for 3 months:

- "His Columbia University office in Havemayer is now used by Professor Brus of the Chemistry department."
This is presumably some sort of trivia or non-notable item. ( Wikipedia:Notability)
- "The corner of the blackboard in the office currently reads: "This office belonged to H.C. Urey, who discovered deuterium"."
As this stands, this is trivia, non-notable, a violation of Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive, and/or some problem with Wikipedia:NOT.
These are both also WP:OR and need cites if we want to include them in the article. -- 201.37.229.117 ( talk) 17:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
In the paragraph discussing Urey and Asimov and uranium, there's curious italicization and NPOV-ness in describing "the most dangerous situation that humanity has ever faced in all history." Someone with the resources want to confirm whether that's because there's a quote of Asimov or someone else in there? Czrisher ( talk) 15:13, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

I will study this article carefully, and I hope to have the review complete by the weekend. Regarding my reviewing style, issues I identify below will be prepended by the number of the relevant GA criterion. As they are resolved, I will cross out the issue number. Comments that are not actionable requirements are not prepended. – Quadell ( talk) 15:18, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

"Gerald Kuiper, Harold Urey, and Hermann Muller were three of Sagan's primary mentors." [1] Perhaps better for Carl Sagan page, but at least a passing reference here? Peace. Jplvnv ( talk) 01:56, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
The Kuiper-Urey “Hot Moon Cold Moon” controversy (shown at Gerard Kuiper) should also be included. TGCP ( talk) 18:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
