Evaluate the drafted changes
Hi Hildegard! Here is my peer review for you,

Lead

- Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer? - A new lead has not been added to reflect new changes, so this is likely not an area you are focusing on editing.

- Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? - Yes, the first sentence and the first paragraph are excellent introductions to fibrin monomers.

- Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? - No, but this is because there are no multiple sections to this article.

- Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? - No, but I would suggest the sentence on fibrin monomers in pregnancy and birth control be moved to a new section under health concerns or a similar title.

- Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? - I would say the Lead is on the longer side, but this is because the majority of the information is in the lead.

Content

- Is the content added relevant to the topic? -Yes, I see you added information on Fibrin Monomer's role in Venous Embolism under a new section titled Research.

- Is the content added up-to-date? - Yes, it looks like the information you contributed were referenced from 2 papers published 2016 and 2022.

- Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? - There is no content that does ot belong. I would suggest adding missing content on the fibrin monomer’s molecular composition and biochemical properties.

- Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? - Not really relevent, but it is important that you brought attention to certain health complications related to increased levels of fibrin.

Tone and Balance

- Is the content added neutral? - Yes

- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? - I would say there is a good amount of information on associations with increased levels of fibrin monomers, but there is a lack of information on fibrin deficiency.

Sources and References

- Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? - Both cited papers are very reliable and comprehensive. Both are published in reputable journals (Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery and American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology) and both are peer-reviewed.

- Does the content accurately reflect what the cited sources say? - Yes, both sources discuss venous thromboembolism, which is the premise of your edits. One paper discusses the increased fibrin monomer levels during pregnancy and the other after hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery. Both articles also associated increased fibrin monomer with increased risk of venous thromboembolism.

- Are the sources thorough - Yes, both sources are reviews of the research conducted pertaining to the medical condition, fibrin monomer levels, and pre-existing conditions that increase the risks.

- Are the sources current? - Yes, one paper is from 2016 and the other is from 2022.

Organization

- Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? Yes, it is concise and easy to read. The content was a well-written summary of the information gathered from the sources.

- Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? - No errors.

Images and Media

- While the Wikipedia article does not have any images or media, I believe adding a molecular structure of a fibrin monomer would be a meaningful addition to the article.

Overall impressions

- Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?/How can the content added be improved? - Yes, adding information about a disease process that arises from Fibrin dysfunction improves the Fibrin Monomer article’s overall content. Overall, I think this is a well-researched and well-written article. I do think the content can be improved with the addition of an image showing the fibrin monomer structure and further information on the fibrin monomer’s biological function.
