Workplan for 01/2023:


 * 1) Review references
 * 2) Update the intro to have pictures of the thyroid and the other names of the condition
 * 3) Add epidemiology section
 * 4) Update signs and symptoms. Add pictures of the goiter, myxedema and any diagrams that show the whole body and how it is affected
 * 5) Combine the causes and mechanism categories. Existing causes listed should be changed to associations for the title and can be their own subcategory. Add more to the section
 * 6) Table of antibodies in mechanism to summarize if possible. Add pictures of pathology
 * 7) Diagnosis - Reword the paragraph for easier readability. Update the category and potentially add a flow chart with the diagnostic steps
 * 8) Treatment - add the full spectrum of drugs such as triiodothyronine with descriptions. And side effects of medications
 * 9) Add a section under treatment for follow-up monitoring of TSH levels after initiation of therapy
 * 10) Review for readability and change language away from doctor-speak when appropriate

Suggestions are appreciated and this plan will be updated as the month progresses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aemorrison (talk • contribs) 21:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)


 *  Peer review 
 * You did a great job of improving this article. You started with a well-organized work plan and accomplished almost every item on your list. The pictures and sections you added have made the article a lot more informative, and I feel that you’ve managed to maintain good readability for a general audience without too much medical jargon. You used quality up-to-date secondary sources for the added information and the links to citations are working. The overall narrative appears to be neutral without any distracting information.
 * Peer recommendations:
 * 1) You mentioned potentially adding a table of antibodies to the mechanism section of the article. This could add even more visual appeal to the article, but I don’t think it would be completely necessary because the antibodies are summarized well in the paragraph.
 * 2) You considered adding a flowchart to the diagnosis section in your work plan. This could likewise present information in a visually interesting way, but the diagnosis section would still be informative without it.
 * Considering the importance of the topic, I think your efforts have had a strongly positive impact on the article. Excellent job!
