Review #1:

The page is fairly informative thus far. The Chembox is quite informative, with the structural image, both IUPAC and other names, etc.; however, the CAS link did not work and very few properties are listed. I'm not sure how obscure Beryllium sulfide is, but there is probably some more basic information out there in some directory.

The main body of the article is great and contains a lot of information, but could be cleaned up. The "Properties" section gives valuable info, but seems to jump around to different topics like the info was pieced together. If possible, try to link the properties of BeS or add transitions so that the reader isn't caught off guard by the change of topic. The "Production" section is also well done, but could use some reactions written in ChemDoodle or even just cleanly typed in the editor. Even though the reactions are simple, it's always nice to see a diagram, even if it is just some letters and an arrow.

Finally, you cite 7 references, which is great support for your information and more than enough to get you Reference points. If you can work out the formatting to the References section, you'll be golden there.

Nice work so far! Be sure to fix the code at the bottom so the references appear and you get points for that section. Also, look for hazards and other bits of information to add to your Chembox to maximize points for that section. Good places to look for this are ChemSpider, PubChem, etc. Also, if these don't work for you google is a good place to start. Good work on the properties sections, I like that you linked other wikipedia pages. The biggest suggestion I have is for you to fill your other sections, but mostly your reactions sections. For example, you have the production explained but the actually reaction would be nice. If you can't find anything for these sections just delete them. But as I first said, nice work so far!

The page looks pretty great! I think you have a good start, and you are not too far from the finish line. The first thing that I noted was that the link at the bottom of your page was not valid. You should fix that up, it probably wouldn't be too tough. The image in your chembox needs to be fixed. I don't know what is wrong with it really, it shouldn't be too bad. I think you've got some great information in your properties section. The production section is also very interesting. Talk more about the autoclave process, write out a reaction, and then reference it to your reaction section. You will get a lot of content that way, and I feel that's good information to include. Other than that, try using SciFinder to get some excellent articles. You could use some hazard information in your chembox as well as some information on the properties of your chemical. Main fix, correct the part at the bottom that shows all of the references. It will make the reviewing of your page a lot easier.

Please do not unload this material

This article might have helped you students surf the web for some info, but it is below our standards and would require a lot of work by real chemists. Your instructor needs to get involved (or is incompetent to teach this course. Sorry for the bad news, not your fault. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
