Infobox
Lead
  • Is Spedding known to have had Canadian citizenship? If not, he should simply be described as an American chemist rather than a Canadian American per MOS:BIO, which says to generally just include nationalities.
    All the sources call him a Canadian, but he acquired U.S. Citizenship when his Canadian father was naturalized. Added this. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Patents
Notes
  • Again, MDY should be used
  • For FN16, I don't think it's necessary to include page numbers for the Seaborg PDF or have it as an sfn ref as it is the only reference to this document
    I like to keep the books down there together. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
    Even so, the PDF wasn't exactly a "book". I've adjusted accordingly.

All points addressed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Overall
  • Well-written?
  • Prose quality:   Decent, but needs improvements
  • Manual of Style:   Could be better
  • Verifiable?
  • Reference layout:   Questionable use of "Sfn" for one of the refs
  • Reliable sources:   Looks good
  • No original research:   Close, but not quite
  • Broad in coverage?
  • Major aspects:   Mostly good, but a few bits are missing
  • Focused:   No excess detail
  • Neutral?:   Almost
  • Stable?:   Nothing of concern
  • Illustrated, if possible, by images?
  • Appropriate licensing:   Does not apply since there are currently no photos used
  • Relevance and captioning:   It would be worth adding a picture of Spedding to the infobox
