Abelsonite
- ... that abelsonite is known only from the Green River Formation in Utah and Colorado?
- ALT1:... that the mineral abelsonite probably formed from chlorophyll?
- Reviewed: Chinchaga fire
5x expanded by Chris857 (talk). Self nom at 03:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Article Issues
- Expansion is 2179/256 = 8.51... > 5x as required.
- Expansion occurred on 7 January 2013, so date requirements satisfied.
- Policy - neutrality and citations are fine. Copyvio check to follow.
- Hook Issues
- Sentence supporting original hook is uncited, but may be in the reference from the sentence following.
- Sentence supporting ALT1 is cited. Reference check to follow.
- Hook length is fine
- As a chemist, I find ALT1 more interesting - when thinking of substances leading to minerals, chlorophyll does not strike me as a common source. That a mineral is only found in one area strikes me more as a "So what?" kind of fact. The material in the article about geoporphyrins makes me wonder if a better hook (by combining with ALT1) might be:
- ALT2: ... that the mineral abelsonite probably formed from chlorophyll and is the only known crystalline geoporphyrin?
- I would be interested in the submitter's thoughts on linking to chlorophyll a rather than chlorophyll.
- Hook neutrality is not a problem.
- QPQ reviewing requirement
- Chris857's user page claims over 5 DYK credits, so this requirement applies. Chris857 did do a DYK review for chinchaga fire. Vensatry also claimed credit for this same review here. I don't know whether this is acceptable - for two editors to both be credited for a review - but I would credit Chris857's claim to the review over Vensatry's both for comprehensiveness and accuracy.
- Other thoughts
- I will return and check copyvio and referencing issues later, hopefully after Chris has added a reference for the original hook. EdChem (talk) 11:55, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
