I am nominating this for featured article because I feel it meets FA criteria and the article and the work of User:Dcrjsr should be recognized. I have never edited the article. As nominator I am willing to participate in addressing issues raised in this review, though I have no scientific background and will not be able to address those matters Gamaliel ( talk) 18:19, 24 November 2014 (UTC) reply
Oppose: The article clearly has merit, but it has not had any specific preparation prior to this nomination. It has citation tags and other uncited information, also unformatted refs. There is inconsistency as between "Richards" and "Fred Richards" (it should be "Richards" throughout), and at some points the writing is unacceptably impenetrable to the non-expert reader. Before any FAC nomination the nominator(s) need to be sure that the article meets the Featured article criteria; it is premature to nominate articles that are still work in progress (see User talk:Dcrjsr#Frederic M. Richards. I also think that that the article's principal author, who has consented to this nomination, should be a co-nominee. I recommend withdrawal and later resubmission when the article has been properly prepared. Brianboulton ( talk) 00:06, 25 November 2014 (UTC) reply
