Talk:Metalloid/A1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A1. The article is consistently referenced with an appropriate citation and all claims are verifiable against reputable sources, accurately represent the relevant body of published knowledge, and are supported with specific evidence and external citations as appropriate.
A2. The article is comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral and focused on the main topic; it neglects no major facts or details, presents views fairly and without bias, and does not go into unnecessary detail.
A3. The article has an appropriate structure of hierarchical headings, including a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections, and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.
A4. The article is written in concise and articulate English; its prose is clear, is in line with style guidelines, and does not require substantial copy-editing to be fully MoS-compliant.
A5. The article contains supporting visual materials, such as images or diagrams with succinct captions, and other media, where appropriate.
I believe this article meets all of the A-class review criteria. For A2, a fair amount of detail is included in order to provide a comprehensive picture. The literature is relatively scattered. Many sources say a few things about metalloids but very few say more. This has resulted in a high reference count. Sandbh (talk) 02:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
