 * Symbol possible vote.svg Earwig found many phrases — for example,
 * "method...to measure the diffusion rate of proteins"
 * "He developed a new technique to manipulate proteins in cell membranes"
 * "interest in the localization of proteins at synapses"
 * "developed into a new field of study on neurotrophins"
 * "that determine the differentiation of axons and dendrites" —
 * that are either copied verbatim or very closely paraphrased from http://gruber.yale.edu/neuroscience/mu-ming-poo. To me this is too close to copied to pass. Also, the QPQ needs to be done. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:08, 10 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your review. Unfortunately these are mainly scientific set phrases that are hard to paraphrase. So I deleted some of the specific terms to make them more general-sounding. Please check again. QPQ to come soon. -Zanhe (talk) 04:56, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * QPQ added. -Zanhe (talk) 05:19, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and, after changes, no longer appears to have copying problems. QPQ done. The article is in general adequately sourced, and the sources support the hook, but part of the hook ("Dolly method") is not in the article and needs to be. Once this minor issue is fixed it can be approved. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:50, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I've added "Dolly method" to the article. Thanks, -Zanhe (talk) 06:57, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Close enough, I guess. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:50, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
