Evaluate the drafted changes
(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)

Your goal with a peer review is to identify specific ways the article could be improved, and note any major problems that ought to be fixed. Consider these questions:

'''Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?'''

Yes, all the information seemed relevant

'''Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?'''Seems neutral

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?Seems well balanced

'''Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?'''All the citation links work.

'''Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?'''Yes, the article is well-referenced, and the sources seem appropriate

'''Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added?'''All the information seems up to date. I think the article could use a few more sentences in between the ones with referenes to round out the information.


 * For example: You have the sentence "G. uraniireducens is an iron-reducing bacteria that uses acetate as an electron donor and reduces uranium (U(VI))." You could follow this up with "The byproducts of this reaction are ____ and ____. This reaction occurs via _____ enzyme..." Is this a rare type of metabolism? Is it conserved within Geobacter sp? It just needs a little more info to put everything in context.
 * The "Extracellular Eelectron Transport Strategies" pragraph is a good example of this. You cite a fact, then compare your organism to the rest of the geobacter genus.

Other notes:


 * On the Geobacter genus page, edit the taxobox to include your species. Make sure there are a few other Wikipedia pages that reference your organism
 * Try to have 2-3 sentences minimum per section or paragraph. Some of your sections are sort of short and could use a little more elaboration:
 * metabolic mechanisms
 * Characteristics
 * I was a little confused by the Geobacter/Geotalia differentiation in your article. Is this something accepted by the scientific community? Should the title of your article be revised to be in line with this?
 * The photo you want to use probably isn't open source. :(
 * You can add a lot more wikipedia hyperlinks within the text you have if you wish. For example: Geotalia, bioremediation, basonym, extracellular electron transport, uranium, arsenic...
 * This is a good start! I think elaborating some of your sections will make this article great. Nice job!
