Nicholas Lopez (NLopez70) Wikipedia Project - Evaluated Wikipedia Articles

These are the four articles I have added to my watchlist for Wikipedia pages:

Topic: Diabetes

An article on my topic that is a Good Article is:Type 2 diabetes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_2_diabetes

An article on my topic that is a C-Class article is: Prevention of type 2 diabetes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_of_type_2_diabetes

This article is a C-class article because it lacks critical information and depth on multiple prevention methods of type II diabetes. Also, there is no section for footnotes which would be useful to organize the sources of the paper and prevent plagiarism. Lastly, there is room for improvement in citing sources because some of the sources do not follow the same format. For example, some of the citations have middle names abbreviated with first names, but lack punctuation between the names.

An article on my topic that is a Stub article is:

Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperosmolar_hyperglycemic_state

This article is missing a section based on treatment and prevention strategies. Also, many of the sections are predominantly bullet points without any explanation what the terminology means. While bullet structure is concise for experts, there is a severe lack of information for common lay people who might encounter this condition. Lastly, there are no graphics which could explain concepts with greater detail.

An article on my topic that needs a citation is: Lifestyle causes of type 2 diabetes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle_causes_of_type_2_diabetes

This article needs a citation describing the effects of a high fat diet on gene expression because wikipedia writes outside of the code that the source is an unreliable medical journal. Having a citation from a peer reviewed academic journal would make the section more credible and lead to a stronger article overall.

Gene expression promoted by a diet of fat and glucose, as well as high levels of inflammation related cytokines found in the obese, can result in cells that "produce fewer and smaller mitochondria than is normal," and are thus prone to insulin resistance. {{cite magazine|title=The origin of diabetes: Don't blame your genes
