General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Inline citations are needed in the section: "Advances in ... based power has been to date"
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems: - Remove the WP:OVERCITE after "conferences"

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - I have 2 issues with this hook. Firstly, ships aren't making the ocean into acid, but more acidic. Secondly, the ships themselves aren't making oceans more acidic, it's the carbon emissions. I would reword this as "maritime shipping is helping to make the ocean more acidic?"

QPQ: Done.

@PerfectSoundWhatever: Hopefully I have dealt with cite issues above and thanks for hook suggestion - I tried to make it a bit shorter - how about

- Thanks, everything looks good except for the "acid" part of the hook. I would approve this hook. Is this OK?

@PerfectSoundWhatever: I don't think we need the word "maritime", as it is not in the title of the article and almost all shipping acidifies the ocean not just maritime (your environmentally friendly cycle courier "delivers" your pizza they don't "ship" it). However ALT2 is fine by me, but as the nominator I am not allowed to tick it off. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:39, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying, but the hook should be true to the source. Saying "shipping" in general isn't what the source says. Argubaly, adding "maritime" makes the hook more interesting (shipping across the ocean affects the ocean itself!). Ticking

ALT2 only. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 17:41, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@PerfectSoundWhatever: Is there something else I need to do here please? Chidgk1 (talk) 17:11, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
