Units

• The infobox has links to common units of measurement e.g. Celsius (and other temperature units), Kilogram per cubic metre, day, 100 picometres (via [1 E-10 m]) and Megasecond (via [1 E6 s]). I think removing these links will improve the signal to noise ratio in the links. Lightmouse (talk) 20:15, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
  • The element infobox has been standardised with all the element articles. It seems that it's been decided to keep the units in. :-) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 02:48, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
    • Links to common units, numbers, and normal English words are in conflict with the Manual of Style, see Wikipedia:Link#What_generally_should_not_be_linked. In fact, temperature units are given as an explicit example of what not to link. But it makes no sense to penalise this one article for a fault in the infobox that affects many articles. As far as I'm concerned GA can proceed for this article. Keep up the good work. Lightmouse (talk) 10:02, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
      • The infoboxes are normaly not part of this kind of MOS. There nobody reads the whole text and links are helpful to find the right numbers you are looking for.--Stone (talk) 19:52, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
• Sorry for the delay on the review, I'll have comments up soon. CrowzRSA 20:21, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
• The "Occurrences" section seems a bit redundant

  This section is part of the traditional article layout adopted WP:ELEMENTS. It tells where the element can be found, whereas "Production" describes how it is extracted. That section had wrong heading level. Fixed. Materialscientist (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

• There is no referencing in the "Organometallic compounds" section.

  Added. B12 is described in other parts. Materialscientist (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

• The "Halides" section needs additional references.

  It is referenced to two comprehensive books (chemistry bibles). Materialscientist (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

• What references (NiMH) batteries also contain significant amounts of cobalt, the cobalt improves the oxidation capabilities of nickel in the battery.? CrowzRSA 23:55, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

  Copied the supporting reference. Materialscientist (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

• Have all the comments been addressed now? Lanthanum-138 (talk) 06:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

• I referenced one more thing but I believe the article can now be passed as a good article. It very well written and has a good amount of information. It meets each of the criteria so I will pass it for GA. CrowzRSA 16:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

• The face-centered cubic crystal structure diagram is not given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.231.25.220 (talk) 04:07, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
