Article Evaluation

 * 1) Everything in the article is relevant to the topic. All the information flows in a nice order and fits each heading.
 * 2) The article is neutral. It touches on the many different aspects of aging not only in humans but other species as well.
 * 3) The links in the Sociology section work and they do support the claims in the article. the sources came from other Wikipedia articles.
 * 4) Each fact is cited correctly. They come from other Wiki Articles and outside sources. These are neutral sources.
 * 5) Some of the information could be considered to be out of date just because the citation is decades old. I don't think anything is missing.
 * 6) The talk page just has two submissions from editors who want their addition looked over.
 * 7) This article was rated a B-Class and is a part of five WikiProjects.

Article Proposal
I would elaborate more on what the theory was. Describe the model in more detail. I would add a view from other parts of the world not just the United States. I would suggest adding a section about the background of this organization and elaborate more on the programs it offers.
 * Network theory of aging Network theory of aging (preferred)
 * Group home Group home
 * National Institute of Aging National Institute on Aging

Article Bibliography
I want to elaborate more on what the theory is, describe the model in more detail, and possibly the sociology side of the theory.

I want to update the section where it talks about what the theory is. I would like to add a section that talks about the theory in more detail or possibly add a section that looks at the sociology side of the theory since that relates more to the class. If possible i want to add a section that details the model of the theory.

Draft of Article
When looking at the network theory of aging there are many different components to look at from elementary particles of quantum systems all the way to human systems. Each elements plays a role in the network that is the aging process.

I will go into detail about the different components of the network.

Contribution to Article
The network theory of aging provides a deeper look at the damage and repair processes at the cellular level and the ever changing balance between those processes. To fully understand the network theory as its applied to aging you must look at the different hierarchical elements of the theory as it pertains to aging.

1.    Elementary particles of quantum systems- The aging process is described as an equation where a structure in an unbalanced state begins to change and that is seen primarily in the actions of quantum particles.

2.    Monomers of biological macro-molecules- After a while different types of protein damage become widespread due to the build up of damages within the protein. Overtime the maturation of cross-links, proteolytic cuts, and amino acid truncations are very apparent.

3.    Proteins- Protein-protein exchanges either cease to exist or the connections between them become weaker due to energy loss and injury to the protein itself. This then leads to the protein being displaced in the cell.

4.    Cells- Connections within the cell begin to either tighten or loosen up eventually leading to weakened connections. There is a high price associated with these connections, especially within the brain.

5.    Organisms- As individuals age their social networks begin to decline. Only thing remaining is the contacts for the most important social functions. Cognitive deterioration due to aging and loss of support systems leads to more declines in old age.

6.    Social groups- A decline in social groups mimics the declines associated with the aging process.

7.    Ecosystems forming a global ecological network- Networks within our ecosystems show us that we should be very concerned about the aging of our habitat.

8.    Elements of human systems- The aging process can be portrayed through human conceptual, cultural, and technological networks. With time each of these networks begin to decline.

Responding to Peer Review
I didn't have anybody peer review my article contribution. After looking t my contribution and the peer review guidelines I believe my contribution is up to par. Any suggestions on how I can further improve my contribution are welcome and much appreciated.
