Proposed work plan for updating the Diverticulum page[edit]

Hi everyone I'm participating in the Osmosis Wikipedia editing course and would like to improve this article in the following ways:

1- Adding citations, this article has very few citations.

2- Moving the embryological section above the human pathology section so there is a flow from physiological to pathological.

3-Removing the "Anatomical" part as it seems out of place, and is a throwaway sentence. (please let me know if it's valuable and shouldn't be removed for some reason.)

4-Reformatting and possibly some editing of the "Human Pathology" section - depending on findings from collecting citations.

Comments and suggestions are welcome :) Tkguv (talk) 12:08, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at featured articles on the WikiProject: Anatomy, thinking of changing the "Human Pathology" section to : "Clinical Significance". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkguv (talk • contribs) 15:38, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Tkguv,

Introduction looks good! Nice summary and clears up any potential confusion between types of diverticula and normal vs pathologic. I might suggest including a few common types of diverticula in the intro (GI tract diverticula, mainly, since they are fairly common).

Classification and embryology sections make sense and are well-cited.

I agree with the use of bullet points when the information is a list (such as the embryological section). However, some of the bulleted lists might make more sense in paragraph form (such as the GI tract diverticula)

Maybe include a link to diverticulitis or diverticulosis at some point?
