::*The sourcing for it being a "first" is there (and not just in the link given above), but I'm not sure it's of the highest quality. On reading the petrichor article, I see someone has found some earlier examples of the smell of rain being examined in scientific literature.

... that Isabel Bear and Richard Grenfell Thomas published the first scientific description of the smell of rain, for which Thomas coined the term "petrichor"? Source: "Nature of Argillaceous Odour might be a mouthful, but this was the name of the paper published in the Nature journal of March 7, 1964, by CSIRO scientists Isabel (Joy) Bear and Richard Thomas, that first described petrichor." [1], "Thomas gave the name 'petrichor' to this odour" [2])

Hi Ivar the Boneful, that this was the first description of the smell of rain is mentioned in the lead but not in the main body and so is not cited. The rest looks ok: article moved to mainspace 9 May; article is of good length and well written; inline citations to reliable sources are used, though I note the National Museum link is dead; I didn't notice any copyright violations from the sources and the quotations are correctly attributed; a QPQ has been done - Dumelow (talk) 08:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks User:Dumelow, this is the speediest review I've ever had! On reflection I think I'd prefer to leave out the "first" element from the blurb:
- ALT1: ... that Isabel Bear and Richard Grenfell Thomas scientifically described the smell of rain, for which Thomas coined the term "petrichor"?
- The sourcing for it being a "first" is there (and not just in the link given above), but I'm not sure it's of the highest quality. On reading the petrichor article, I see someone has found some earlier examples of the smell of rain being examined in scientific literature. I guess it comes down to what you count as "scientific description", but I don't want that to be an issue or seen as contradictory by readers clicking through to that article. In any case it's not essential to the blurb. I've fixed the dead link. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 15:32, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ivar the Boneful, looks good now. I've struck the original hook. I found it a really interesting article, thanks for sharing it - Dumelow (talk) 15:46, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
