Hello Wikipedia community! This month I aim to work on improving this page on surgical drains, and I look forward to your collective input, guidance, and feedback. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this Talk page, and I will respond during the course of the upcoming month. Canine Snow (talk) 16:57, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I am starting a bibliography page for this project and gathering sources online and from my institution's library. Though this is still a work in progress, I invite any comments and suggestions for additional sources or revisions to my current list. Thank you! Canine Snow (talk) 19:30, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Peer Review Assignment:
 * Excellent job on your edits so far! It seems that you are on track, according to your work plan. The article flows well and is easy to read.
 * Two things you are doing a great job on include:
 * - Writing in a clear, coherent and logic manner
 * - Including new and interesting information for drains in the "Use and Management" section
 * Two things you could continue to address include:
 * - Including citations as you are writing whenever possible - this is particularly important for the paragraphs " The routine use of drains for surgical procedures is diminishing..." and "Accurate recording of the volume of drainage..." since they present implications for management.
 * - Consider breaking down lists or paragraphs into subsections and bullet points to facilitate reading. This could be done for the "Types of Drains" section, with some kind of logical grouping.
 * As we've also discussed in our work groups, adding more images where possible would be ideal but can certainly be very challenging.
 * Keep up the awesome work! GP2b3a (talk) 20:29, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the wonderful advice! I completely agree on adding citations, organizing lists or paragraphs into logical subsections, and adding images. I have a plan in place for acquiring more images, and I will input citations by the conclusion of the week. Canine Snow (talk) 15:59, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
