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

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks good to go. Hook is interesting. Passes all other checks. I have assumed WP:AGF for many offline links. But, I don't foresee an issue. I prefer the original hook even though more verbose. Question to the nominator, can you edit rows 21 and 22 of the TOC and have the topics added on the RHS. Currently they are conspicuous by remaining empty. Cheers and good luck. Ktin (talk) 02:47, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Comment for closer Feel free to change "that, by choosing the content to include in his famous 1953 textbook Introduction to Solid State Physics" to "that, by choosing the content to include in his famous 1953 introductory textbook on the subject" to avoid repeating Introduction to Solid State Physics. My apologizes for not adding this before the review. Footlessmouse (talk) 21:15, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the paragraph under Publication history needs at least one cite per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 23:35, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah:, at your request, I have removed the summary of the publication history, as it summarized the lists below it, there were no references for it, everything was verifiable by the lists below it and common knowlege. Please note, as it was a summary of all the other book citations below it, it did not ever violate rule D2, but I removed anyways. Thanks. Footlessmouse (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I saw that the paragraph was mentioning it was up to the 8th edition, while in the list you have a 9th edition. Restoring tick per Ktin's review. Yoninah (talk) 01:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
