Draft for William Howard Stein article
IMPORTANT NOTE: FULL DRAFT IS NOT IN THIS SANDBOX. NAVIGATE TO User:Cmatvc/William Howard Stein

Notes:


 * Lead for this article could use expansion, perhaps work on that

Edit draft (3/5/2021):

They determined the entire sequence of ribonuclease by 1960, using X-ray analysis to determine the active site of the nuclease.

Edit draft (3/14/2021):

He was subsequently a researcher under Max Bergmann at Rockefeller University, where much of his most important work was done.

Stanford Moore joined Bergmann's lab in 1939, where he and Stein began research focusing on amino acids. Their work in this area was disrupted with the beginning of World War II and they temporarily parted ways to aid the war efforts, Stein staying with Bergmann to research the molecular scale effect of blister agents on the human body.


 * Add information about how they started to work together again to bridge the gap. Maybe mention that Bergmann died during this time?

''In 1958 he and Moore developed the first automated amino acid analyzer, which facilitated the determination of protein sequences. They determined the entire sequence of ribonuclease by 1960, using X-ray analysis to determine the active site of the nuclease. Stein won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1972 with Christian Boehmer Anfinsen and Stanford Moore, for their work on ribonuclease and for their contribution to the understanding of the connection between chemical structure and catalytic activity of the ribonuclease molecule.''


 * Think the sentence on Nobel Prize win can be considered plagiarism? Was not added by us, but exact wording can be found on this page. Sentence is not cited in original article, but presumably came from the Nobel Prize Autobiography source, and that link no longer works. Link for that source needs to be updated, or sentence needs to be removed/edited. Would like something to introduce Bergmann into the article, still
 * Was the x-ray analysis they used x-ray diffraction? May be important distinction to make. Find the original papers and suss that out

Stein remained at Rockefeller for his entire career, and held visiting professorships at Washington University at St. Louis, Haverford College, the University of Chicago and Harvard University.

Article Evaluation for Fiji mermaid

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Under "Later incarnations" the story about the live woman in the fishbowl was not relevant to the mermaids, really. The section on pop culture pulled me out of it a little bit, but it wasn't necessarily irrelevant.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Again, under "Later incarnations" when discussing the original mermaid, it includes that in Joe Nickell's opinion, none of the claims should be believed.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * I think they lean pretty heavily on the entire purpose of the Fiji mermaid being a hoax.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * The links worked for the ones that I checked, and they seem to support the claim in the article. But this raises a question: in one of the sources that said it was a religious practice, it also indicated that it was frequently performed. Are there any relics from this, what's the evidence?
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Not every one is referenced, several are missing. The information seems to mostly come from neutral sources.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * There aren't too many articles on the page that are recent, only 3 of them have been published after 2010. If something could be added, I would like to see about the religious practices the one source was talking about. Also they have a picture of the Banff merman, but zero discussion of it in the article, which I would like.
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * It's mainly conversations about the P.T. Barnum mermaid, and the validity of claims made.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * It's rated start-class and it's part of the WikiProject Paranormal.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * We have not discussed this in class, and I don't think we will! But I'd like to see it discussed from another angle aside from it just being a hoax.
