- Yes Suggest caption: "Micrometeorites, which have melted from the heat of entry through the Earth's atmosphere. Largest spherule is about 300µm in diameter." User:HopsonRoad 15:32, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
The above does not seem to be a review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:56, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
- The article still needs reviewing. --Tobias1984 (talk) 13:10, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
This is a really nice article, generally well referenced to very high-quality sources and with some very good illustrations (well done, Shaw Street). There are however a couple of issues that need to be resolved. There are two unsourced bits - the last paragraph of the introduction (starting "An estimated 30,000 ..."), and the first paragraph of "Collection sites" (starting "Micrometeorites have been ..."). Also, all the bibliography references are coming up with errors for me - "Harv error: There is no link pointing to this citation." Prioryman (talk) 20:34, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Response to Prioryman: Added a source for the last paragraph of the Introduction. Note that the first paragraph of Collection sites is introductory and does not require sources, since the material introduced is fully sourced in the subordinate paragraphs. Also, both the mouse-overs and click to see references appear to work normally to several other users. User:HopsonRoad 23:23, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
OK, I think this is good to go now. I see what you've done with the bibliography references; it's perhaps a little unconventional but not something I'm going to fail this nomination for. Prioryman (talk) 22:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- I removed use of "ref=harv" installed by User:Senra. The Bibliography here is intended to be further reading, not a basis for short references. User:HopsonRoad 01:37, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
