I'm not an expert on Wikipedia's copyright policies, but it seems to me we are not permitted to copy text for copyright sources, such as the Online Medical Dictionary.

Saccadic dysmetria
There are several problem with this section. First, although it is clear that the superior colliculus is part of the circuit that controls saccades, it's misleading to say that " the area of the brain that controls saccades is the superior colliculus". There is a complete circutry that controls eye movements, not a simply a region. Second, it is said that the fastigial nucleus is part of the superior colliculus; this is simply false (the fastigial nucleus is part of the cerebellum). On top of this, this section is poorly written. For these reasons I deleted the phrase: "The area of the brain that controls saccades is the superior colliculus, specifically the fastigial oculomotor region (FOR)". This section should be marked as requiring further editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.132.224.49 (talk) 08:23, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Causes
Citing a single article, it is mentioned that motor learning utilises APPGs, without so much as a mention of what APPGs are. I suggest that the part mentioning them either be removed or further elaborated in order to make the article accessible to lay audience. The 2006 article proposes a model introducing the whole concept of APPGs. However, it remains very unclear as to what the mainstream consensus is relative to APPGs in general, let alone their significance in dysmetria. The latter part is especially important considering this is an encyclopedia entry, which is supposed to present its subject in a logical, understandable and hierarchical manner, hopefully representing the available information as accurately and relevantly as possible.
