User talk:Interiorwater/Isopeptide bond/Acrchan Peer Review

Thank you for the advice on how to improve my article!
Hi Acrchan,

I appreciate the guidance you have provided me with to improve my article. I have made some changes to the article per your advice.

Thank you for pointing out that the lead section is a bit too complicated/overwhelming for a first-time reading. I acknowledge it appears to be a lot of information. However, I strongly feel that all the information is critical to provide the basics on how an isopeptide is formed, why it's relevant, etc. I think the information being condensed in the introduction is the best way to set up for the rest of the article, so I have retained the same volume of content in my final edit.

You mentioned that I did a good job keeping the tone of the article neutral and including a wide variety of sources. Thank you for the acknowledgement. You also mentioned that the dictionary source wasn't the best, however I could not find any other source that stated the that piece of information in an accessible way, so I am keeping that source in my final revision. However, I did not find any sources that stated anything contrary to the dictionary definition, so I am comfortable enough keeping it as a source. You noted that I needed a few more sources to support my writing, so I have included more sources to support my writing in my final draft. I hope this will increase the validity of the claims.

In terms of organization, you encouraged me to make a few editing changes (i.e. italicize species names), which I have done. You also let me know that I didn't cross-reference existing wikipedia articles often enough, so in my final revision I have made sure to cross-reference all terms/definitions to ensure the reader has access to everything needed to understand my article. I tried to organize my article so that the first time something was mentioned (i.e. a specific amino acid), it had a cross-link, but not in the subsequent mentions. I did this because I believe having too many cross-links all throughout the article will disrupt the reader experience.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. You have really helped me improve my final revision of the article!
