Review section
[edit]I am nominating this 2006 featured article for review due to the issues that I raised over three weeks ago on the talk page, which have remained wholly unanswered. These include:
- A lead that is unbalanced and gives undue weight to certain aspects of his work, like the "Alarm Clock model bomb", and has potential NPOV issues like the messianic complex claim.
- A sometime excessive reliance on quotes, as in the 'Decision to drop the bombs' subsection (i.e. not summary style).
- Sources that simply aren't FA quality, like Collider or DailyTech, and other content remains unsourced.
- The sequence and division subsections seems sporadic, and not as well-organized as fellow physicist Leo Szilard's article for contrast.
- For instance, his "volatile personality" is highlighted in the lead. There could be a 'Personality' section (like on John Ford's article) that might more cohesively integrate material like the Fonda heart attack allegation in the "Three Mile Island" section. Further, all nuclear research could be integrated under a single section? And so on. There are obvious undue weight issues when elevating something to its own section as well.
- The prose is simply lacking in many places.
Teller is an interesting subject, and I would like to polish this subject but simply do not have the time to do him justice. ~ HAL333 22:06, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Issues raised in the review section include lead, over-quoting, sourcing, layout, and prose. DrKay (talk) 13:10, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delist Concerns remain. Article seems to use a lot of block quotes, which can be in WP:SS. Z1720 (talk) 14:00, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
