  • Cool. I will review this article. epicgenius - (talk) 19:14, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

Template:Re There are some mild close-wording issues as seen here, wherein a few phrases need to be paraphrased. Also, you have more than 5 DYK nominations, so please review one in return. Otherwise, so far so good. epicgenius - (talk) 19:21, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, Epicgenius. I have made some tweaks to address paraphrasing, I think everything else that Earwig is finding consists of direct quotations or names of journals or conferences, which are unproblematic. I know I need to do a QPQ, and will ping you when that is done. Regards, EdChem (talk) 22:57, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
