23S ribosomal RNA:

This article could use more information. Perhaps a section on conserved sequence or homologous function shared with eukaryote rRNA. From the textbook, Fundamentals of Molecular Biology: The sequence of the 5.8S rRNA, a rRNA found in a subunit of mammalian ribosomes, corresponds to the 3' end of the 23S rRNA found in the bacteria ribosome.

In general, it would be appropriate to add some information on the unit of measurement, Sedimentation units. This could be a brief subheading in the ribosome article or added to the 23S rRNA article. The ribosome article would be best because it is the overarching article and has links to articles on the various ribosome subunits. Alright, so, I think it would be best to mention in the ribosome article the sub-units are measured in svedberg units (S) and provide a link to the wiki article on svedberg units

Second thoughts, a section on conserved structures between ribosomal RNAs should be added to the ribosomal RNA article. I found two informative articles on the conservation of sequence and even secondary structures between ribosomal RNA from all three domains of life bacteria, archea, and eukarya. This indicates that protein production is highly conserved feature in evolution, essentially all organisms synthesize proteins with the same tools. This isn't entirely true when it comes to eukarya which is fairly interesting. The two papers I found are cited below
