(pasted in from your article-specific sandbox) Looks like you've got some healthy sources. Not sure if the information is available, but I would likely be interested in finding out what the purpose behind this type of calcium channel is, as distinct from other calcium channels. What effects are there, from the long-lasting effect of this channel's activation? Are there other areas that the L-type calcium channel is found, outside the heart? (I think it says "mostly" and that just bothers me if I can't find out where else it might be besides where it is "mostly". If you've got some notes rolling (and they're altered enough to not be plagiarism), I'd love to see the progress! Ikenhower (talk) 04:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

I liked the sources you had listed. I think that you'll probably want to confine yourself to a single section of the L-type calcium channel entry just for time and focus's sake. Some of the sources seemed broader and the last two seemed to focus on structure and function. Djinn32 (talk) 06:50, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Looks like you're making really good progress! The history section is really helpful and answers a lot of the questions I had coming in. It does seem a little bare bones- if there are any details you took out to condense it down, it may just help the flow if you put some of them back in. The structure section is very complete- it'd be a great one to paint up a graphic for. I was a little unclear on a few things in there: how is the a1 subunit a heterotetramer? I thought it was a continuous polypeptide. Also, the different subunits appearing on the cytosolic/extracellular sides is surprising- that's most of the reason I would like to see a graphic of it. Looks like you'll be ready to go pretty soon though! Ikenhower (talk) 18:20, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Some thoughts for you before you turn in your portfolio. Make sure that you don't take out entire paragraphs, change the wording or insert sentences (basically adjusting part of the paragraph and then paste the entire paragraph back in because then it makes it looks like it's all your work. So just insert your sentences and words into the existing paragraph without taking it out and putting it back in. You probably already know that, but I just wanted to make sure since it looks like you have the article material copied to your sandbox. I can't really tell at this point what section your editing, or if you're trying to revise the whole article. If the latter, kudos to you, but make sure that you can still make significant adjustments that show that you've read new research on the topic and are adding more than just clarifying language. You also might have things somewhere else that I can't find so let me know if that's the case and I can go review there. You're doing great! Djinn32 (talk) 06:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Looking great! I like the detail and specificity you have in the structure and mechanism. If I was looking for those details, I think it would be easy for me to find them here. From that standpoint, your History section shows great development of the understanding, but I might also be interested in when these discoveries happened. Maybe you could include dates, maybe even just the year, somewhere in the description of the developments made? Looking like a final product overall though!
