combing through the article and our sources in order to try and eliminate possible areas of bias. We also restructured the opener to the page and restated certain ideas in more neutral terms. We understand that topics related environmentalism can be disputed at times and so we used peer-reviewed academic sources as exclusively a possible. While there weren't many of these academic sources to choose from, we found none that conflicted with what had been written in the article. Because the user did not leave much for specific suggestions as to how we could improve the page or any way to contact them with questions, we left a reply asking for their advice and kept the discussion open to other users as well. Because there was no further conversation about this banner or improvements that could be made, we removed it from the article. We also consulted our class's
Knowledge (XXG) educational liaison on this issue.
402:, insofar as this DYK nomination you made is concerned, EdChem did a review to explain what still needed to be done with the article for it to appear on the main page of Knowledge (XXG) as a DYK entry. It sounds to me, based on your note above, that you have no immediate intention of doing this; indeed, as BC graduation ceremonies are on Monday, less than 36 hours from now, it seems unlikely that you will any time soon. However, I could easily be wrong; please let us know by the end of this coming week whether you plan to update the article before the end of May. If we don't hear back next weekend, we'll have to close the nomination, which has already been open for over two months. Best of luck at Commencement!

I would like to address a few of the issues that have been raised and appreciate further feedback. First of all, the dispute banner was an issue that was brought up at the beginning of our nomination process. As can be seen on the article's talk page, we responded to the user who posted the banner by

Again, thank you very much for your interest and kind suggestions. It is rewarding to see how far this article has come since its incredibly bare beginning four months ago and we appreciate the educational opportunity afforded by

I have not checked the 5x expansion, etc, though it looks a solid article... but I am not sure what the hook means. Does 100 times as effective refer to differences in LD50? Is it a manifestation of biological magnification? Does it mean that 1 g could kill 100 times as many fish as microbes

Though the hook is very interesting, and is supported by a citation within the article and by the source material, there is a dispute template on the article that must be resolved before this article can be considered for a DYK.

it looks like the template nominator attracted no support! and may well have been expressing general opposition to environmentalism rather than specific concerns in the article. The article is impressive in depth.
