Wikipedia Article Evaluation Phenol-soluble modulin

This articles last major update was in May 2017. Currently no clear organization is present. This is likely a result of the article not containing much information. The article provides a very brief introduction to the topic but does not discuss many key roles of Phenol-soluble modulins. However, the information provided references quality journal articles, including some from well-respected researchers in the field. However, the article does not include many of the more recent findings about Phenol-soluble modulins. Improving this article will mostly consist of incorporating new findings in the field. The article presents factual information however the information is not tied together and instead seems to be a simple collection of findings. No defined introduction in present. However, the article as it currently stands forms a good basis for an introduction and I intend to repurpose most of the current text into an introduction. This will include information such as there being 2 classes of phenol-soluble modulins, their role in human erythrocyte lysis, their role in biofilm, and their role in cell spreading, as well as briefly discussing their overall structure. Currently there is too little information to justify categorization of the information. I plan to introduce 3 categories to article. Phenol-soluble modulin structure and class, role in blood cell lysis, and role in biofilm formation. Further subsections or additional section may be added as needed to organize the article. A large portion of the current knowledge about Phenol-soluble modulins is not included in this article. Including information about the 2 classes of phenol soluble modulins and their 2 distinct roles. In addition, the article states that all species carry these genes. While this is true, species do not express these genes to the same degree. The article also discusses the PSM-alpha transcript but does not include that this transcript encodes 4 distinct proteins. It also does not mention that for Staphylococcus aureus the PSM-alpha proteins are the main source of human erythrocyte lysis. No diagrams are present. However, I feel a basic diagram for the function of the PSMs or a structural diagram would greatly improve the article. I plan to find or make a diagram to illustrate the function or structure of the PSMs
