The article on Mastadenovirus is a little underdeveloped, but contains a good overview of the virus. For example, the article says that the routes of entry for this virus is fecal-oral and respiratory, but it doesn't expand on this at all. I think this is one area in which this article could be developed. This article is written neutrally and just gives us known information about the virus. The claims made are not fully supported by sources. An example is one of the biggest paragraphs only has one source attached to it. More sources could better support this article. There are only 5 in all, so more sources would be one way to improve this article.

The article on Dengue virus is more in-depth compared to my article. One thing I noticed that this article detailed that mine does not is the different protein structures on the virus. The Dengue article lists the main proteins found on the virus and what they do or why they are important. My article merely lists the proteins found on the virus. Many of the main points listed in the Dengue article are included in my article, but it does not go into as much detail. For example, my article has only a couple sentences over the virus' lifecycle, while the Dengue article has a couple paragraphs detailing its lifecycle. This is something that could definitely be worked on in my article. The Dengue article also has a sections over mechanism of infection and immune system reaction that my article does not have. One thing that my article does have that the Dengue article does not is over the virus' evolution. I think this is an interesting and informative addition to my article.

Some additions that I would like to make to my article is first, the different protein structures on my virus and their importance. This is a key aspect to every virus and it affects how the virus gets into host cells and infects it. This is important information to have in my article. Another key point that I would like to write more about is on the virus' lifecycle. Although my article already talks about this a little bit, I think there can be a lot more added. In addition, another important aspect that is missing from this article is the research that is currently being done over the virus. This is something the Dengue article has, but my does not and I think it would be an important contribution to this article.
