Molybdenum[edit]

Well, molybdenum was pretty fleshed-out before I started working on it. My main goal was to just find good sources. I'd appreciate any feedback at all, especially regarding missing information or not-comprehensive-enough parts. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 23:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also added it to WP:PR so you should get some feedback here from there too. --Bduke 00:41, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I can never figure out how to transclude reviews. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 15:38, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Review by SpecialWindler[edit]

Some suggestions

  • For a transition metal, can the Characteristics be expanded?
  • The first paragraph of Applications, could be split into two paragraphs done
  • The following sections are stubs and should probably be merged or expanded
    • Copper-molybdenum antagonism
    • Isotopes
      • Although there is a main article for that, it should be expanded a little
    • Precautions
  • Category's should be in alphebetical order (numbers then letters) done
  • Do you have a citation for this statement
    • "In 2005, USA was the top producer of molybdenum with about 30% world share followed by Chile and China, reports the British Geological Survey."
  • There is an external link that links to wikipedia, this should be moved to "See Also" done

Thats a quick review. SpecialWindler 09:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Windler. I'm going to go back to the library to get some more isotope information. I know exactly what I want to get. I'll also try to expand the other sections. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 15:38, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put some literature onto the talk page which might help in a history section, the chemistry and the toxicology.--Stone 11:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Climax, Colorado as one of the biggest Molybdenum mines between 1915 and 1980 should be mentioned.--Stone 14:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The production of pure Mo from MoO3 and H2 and the production of FeMo from iron and molybdenum oxides in a electrical oven should be mentioned.--Stone 14:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
