GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I will try to do the review.

• Some of the application subsections are so short that the whole thing reads more like a list. My suggestion would be to merge the short potential applications in sveral paragraphs or to a dotted list.
• The Zinc Handbook page 588 gives the American process to be not the Wet process, but being also called the direct process. This needs alook.--Stone (talk) 18:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
• The production section has also two very short paras The change to a text with three bold words French process American .. and Wet ... might help to improve the readability of the section.--Stone (talk) 18:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
• The lead should reflect the article and what I see is that the Potential applications get a whole section while the applications most people come in contact with is only one or two words.
• A history section would also be good

• The egyptians and people in india, I think, used zinc oxide for cosmetic and medical reasons.
• My thinking was that at first only zinc carbonate, zinc silicate and zinc oxide ores were used for the production of zinc and brass, and the use of ZnS became applicable much later, but ZnO was used for something and this should be mentioned.--Stone (talk) 22:25, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
