  • Symbol question.svg New, long enough, within policy, no copyvio found via tool, needs QPQ. Hook doesn't have an immediate ref in article (see 3b). Please ping me if I don't respond. czar  23:42, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
I think QPQ is only required for self-nominations. I've added a source for the hook fact. Gobōnobō + c 00:07, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Good call on the QPQ exemption. In doing a source check, the (primary) source doesn't appear to back up the article's previous sentence, but more importantly studies mustard gas's effect and not poison gases (plural) as the hook and article currently state. czar  04:10, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't have access to the ODNB reference, and suspect that it was the source for that wording. I've left a note with the article's creator. I've added another source that says "war gases", but if that isn't sufficient, I could reword the hook and article to just refer to mustard gas or war gases. Gobōnobō + c 21:29, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
You can change the hook to match the text to match the footnote or we can wait for the author—whatever's least painful for you works for me czar  02:34, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
I've reworded the hook and the article so that they both refer to mustard gas. Gobōnobō + c 18:20, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg The second source doesn't support the phrasing of the article's sentence and should be removed, but the first source checks out, so I won't hold up the nom. (There are also several unsourced sections that either need end-of-paragraph footnotes or removal.) Edit at your leisure. czar  18:30, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
