Content
The new transcription section is very necessary and important! It includes relevant information regarding the virus' transcription. The fact that the virus uses the hosts' RNA polymerase is important. It is good that this section mentions the different protomers used in each stage of transcription. It is also good that the section includes the purpose of the late stage of transcription, but it does not state the purpose of the early and middle stages (if there are any). The expansion on the structure of the T4 tail is relevant information as well. The statement that says 40% of the viral genome is responsible for the assembly of the virus body is an interesting piece of information too. It appears that the information is up to-date, (seeing the source is from 2003), although its hard to know if it would be possible to find a newer source. Maybe something good to add would be where does transcription occur in the host cell? Overall, great additions of information!

Tone and Balance
The content added is neutral. There are no claims that seem biased toward a particular position, or content that attempts to persuade the reader. The user did a good job to expand on some details so that some points were not underrepresented. The user made the new "Transcription" section a good length to match the already existing "Translation" section in the article.

Sources and References
All of the content added is backed up by a reliable secondary source. Every sentence added is properly cited! The source is reliable because it comes from PubMed, and it was written by a good number of authors (6 authors). It is a secondary review article with extensive information and lots of sources, so it seems extremely thorough, reflecting the available information on the topic. It is fairly current from 2003. Judging by the names of the authors, the authors seem to come from a diverse spectrum of background. The link to the source works as well. Although this source is excellent, all of the statements come from this source, so it might be good to include another source as well.

Organization
I think this statement, "40% of the genome is responsible for the synthesis and assembly of the virus body", might sound better as its own sentence. I also think this sentence, "In the early stage of transcription 39 T4 early promoters are used, 30 T4 middle promoters are used in the middle stage, and up to 50 T4 late promoters are used during the last stage" might sound better written as "39 T4 early protomers are used in the early stage, 30 T4 middle protomers are used in the middle stage, and up to 50 T4 late protomers are used in the late stage." However these are tiny critiques and overall it is all very well-written, super concise, and easy to read. There are no grammatical or spelling errors that I can see.

Overall impressions
This content will definitely improve the overall quality of the article. The article will be more complete, with a very important addition on transcription and more details about the virus particle structure. The transcription section is straight to the point, including essential pieces of information that are laid down well and easy to read. I was impressed by the overall conciseness of the information, and how good it sounded when I read it. The leading sentence of the transcription section is a very good intro statement that leads you into the information. I also liked that there was more detail added on the T4 tail. Statistics are always interesting as well (40% of the genome is a pretty large amount).

If anything, more information could be included in the transcription section, but it poses a risk at almost being too much. It may be more beneficial to add more information on the existing translation section as you mentioned. Or, since the genome was mentioned, maybe going into that a bit more would be beneficial.

Awesome job!
