I'll be reviewing this article. Just giving it a general look, it's looking stable, and I don't see any quickfails. Expect initial comments in around 24 hours. Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 12:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Initial Review: The article seems good in general, but there are some minor issues to be resolved still. First off, criterion 2b was failed because the lead section doesn't cite any sources.

As for criterion 1a, the article often talks about Tb instead of terbium, see, for example, section "Compounds"
(...) by annealing Tb(III) halides in presence of metallic Tb in tantalum containers. or
When TbF4 and CsF is mixed in a stoichiometric ratio in a fluorine gas atmosphere, CsTbF5 is obtained.
I think it would be clearer to the reader if those chemical formulas were replaced with full names, for example
(...) by annealing terbium(III) halides in presence of metallic terbium. and
When terbium(IV)fluoride and caesium fluoride is mixed in a stoichiometric ratio in a fluorine gas atmosphere, caesium pentafluoroterbate (CsTbF5) is obtained.
If a given compound comes up multiple times, I'd suggest giving the full name the first time it is mentioned, and just giving a chemical formula for later instances (except in lists). That said, I'm not sure if this is common on element pages (I did check Indium and Rhodium, which seem to support my argument)
