Vitamin C edit

Nominator(s): David notMD (talk) 04:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about vitamin C. I raised it to GA in 2017 and recently updated parts of the article to incorporate content supported by more recently published references. I believe that all of the science journal references meet WP:MEDRS. Per my User page, I earned a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry, followed by a 40-year career in nutrition/medical health.

Oppose from Tim O'Doherty edit

Oppose, suggest withdrawal: article has an "expansion needed" tag in Pharmacodynamics. On its own that shouldn't be too difficult to fix, but might be indicative of more extensive issues with the article altogether. Skimming through the prose as well, I don't really think it's up the the FA level. Sorry. Develop it a bit more, and then come back here. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 08:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being new to FA, is that a final decision, or is there a period during which other FA reviewers chime in, and then a decision reached? David notMD (talk) 10:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a final decision until a FAC coordinator closes the FAC, but in practice this kind of problem needs to be addressed outside of FAC processes i.e on the talk page. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:13, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Graham Beards edit

Sorry, the article is not ready for a FA star. While work on candidates usually takes place during a nomination, there is too much needed here. (I have tagged a few of the places where citations are needed). Graham Beards (talk) 10:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note edit

I'm going to archive this nom in light of comments above, please note there is a two-week waiting period before nominating again at FAC. David, I'd strongly suggest that after making improvements to the article you start a peer review, reaching out to members of WikiProject Medicine for input. After that you could re-nominate here.

Closing note: This candidate has been archived, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 10:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
