Group 27 Feedback
1.STUDENT 1 – Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view? If not, specify… Yes, the draft submission mostly reflects a neutral point of view for Stavudine. All statements made in the article were factual and consistently linked back to sources. My only comment is that the introduction seems to weigh more on reasons why stavudine is not a good drug as HIV therapy since there is an entire paragraph dedicated to that. Aneelamm (talk) 06:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

2.STUDENT 2 – Are the points included verifiable with cited secondary sources that are freely accessible? If not, specify… Most of the points included are verifiable and accessible except for the following below: 1) Opening paragraph, link to WHO recommendation of phasing out medication 2) Pregnancy and breastfeeding: link to source citing EFFECT on fetus. 3) Pregnancy and breastfeeding:  link to source citing evidence against use of breastfeeding mothers 4)Elderly: link to citation saying that use of medication in "elderly are more likely to have decreased renal function, they are more likely to develop toxic side effects" 5) India: no links citing that stavudine is still first choice in first line therapy in India. 6) Mechanism of action: contains no citations to where information regarding mechanism of action was taken from.

3.STUDENT 3 – Are the edits formatted consistent with Wikipedia’s manual of style for medicine-related articles? If not, specify… Overall, the structure and format is consistent with Wikipedia's manual of style for medicine-related articles. Medical jargon is kept to a minimum, concepts are explained well with 'plain English' wording, and the section order/format is acceptable. One suggestion is to not address the audience as "you" and to keep the tone of the article neutral and in the third person. Rlfunk928 (talk) 18:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

4.STUDENT 4 – Is there any evidence of plagiarism or copyright violation? If yes, specify… There is no evidence of plagiarism or copyright, as concluded by various online plagiarism checkers, as well as a manual random audit of sources. SF355317 (talk) 15:43, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
