This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because R8R Gtrs and I are trying to get it to FA and I wanted some feedback and suggestions for it.

- "the element is unlikely to be a halogen" I would change this to "the element is likely going to have significantly different properties from halogens, which form the rest of the group". it is not clear to me if for these heavy elements the halogen/noble gas label will depend on their actual chemistry or their group location. saying one or the other is original research.
- " there are signs that the heavier isotopes may be much more stable." is incredibly vague and confusing.
- island of stability should have a bit more discussion in the pre-discovery section
- 22.2-milligram targe; of what? also, mention the half time of the Bk isotope to point out the time-sensitivity of the experiment; there needs to be a mention that within ? amount of time ?% of the sample would decompose
- "the Americans" change to the American team at ???
- also, this para should be moved into the next section
- "even if ununseptium turns out to be a halogen" change to even if its chemical properties will be similar to other halogents
- ""could take a year."" what exactly could take a year?
- is anybody thinkign about testing the chemistry of the element?
- what is the predicted 7p1/2 7p3/2 subshell gap?
- redicts the boiling point to be 345 => clarify that it is about E117
- I would point out that isotopes above 112 are going to have an alpha decay half-life of above 1 day
- clarify that the graph is for the alpha-decay
- are there any computations for beta-decays?
- Beta decay is probably somewhat suppressed for superheavy elements: see Talk:Ununpentium#Stable E115, so I don't think there are very many studies on the beta decay of element 117 isotopes. Double sharp (talk) 08:16, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- "unwillingness of ununseptium to form purely sigma or pi bonds" an atom does not have will
- "the charge is on the ununseptium atom" you mean the negative charge?
- "most tightly bound " is confusing. by what metrics?
- the chemistry section could use a bit of trimming, since it is quite technical
- point out that Uus is the most recently discovered element
- mention somewhere that Uus is the second-to-last element in the 7th period
