WIKIPEDIA PROJECT – PEER REVIEW

Content Is the introductory section accessible for non-experts?

For the most part the introductory section is accessible for non-experts. However, in the last sentence of the first paragraph “Understanding the miRNA sequences involved in these diseases can allow us to use anti microRNA Oligonucleotides to disrupt pathways that lead to the expression of symptoms for these diseases” ,I am not sure how you express a symptom. This last sentence should be phrased differently. I would also like to add that usually the first paragraph is the introduction and having a summary as a first paragraph might confuse some readers.

Do the contents of each section justify its length?

The contents of the section do justify their lengths. However, the last paragraph on Neurogeneration could be expanded on a bit more. It seems like the author has stopped midway to an idea. The could maybe add a concluding sentence to sort of rap up the paragraph.

Are all the important terms/concepts linked to their respective Wikipedia pages for further reference?

The term “exonuclease attack”, “downregulated” and “neurogenesis" could be linked to its respective pages.  Are the highlighted examples appropriate?

Yes the highlighted examples of the diseases are very appropriate to their topic. Is the content duplicative of any other content already on Wikipedia?

The content is present on wikipedia but the authors have done a good job at not duplicating any of the information.

Figures

Are the figures original and of high quality?

The link of the figure does not work and it not viewable.

Are the figures informative and add to the text?

There is no figure but the comment underneath where the figure should be states “An illustration of the different chemical modifications given to AMOs in order to detect their effectiveness and concentration inside of cells”. This is very informative and adds to the text.

Are the Chemdraw structures chemically accurate, aligned, and easy to read?

There are no chemdraw structures.

References

Are the references complete (≥ 10)?

Yes there are more then 10 and the reference are complete.

Are the references inclusive of non-journal sources?

Yes there are non-journal as well as journal sources.

Overall Presentation

Provide a short summary of the entire content/figures/references, highlighting both what the group did well and well as what still needs to be improved.

The overall presentation of the wikipedia topic was well written. I think the group just needs to fix a few minor flaws that I mentioned. They needs to add a few more links to some of the vocabulary that the general audience might not understand such as “exonuclease attack”, “downregulated” and “neurogenesis”. Also they needs to add figure or fix the link that they have posted on their page since it does not work when you click on it. The references look well written and seem to be in the right format.

RESPONSE:

In response to the review, we have decided that we will rewrite our introduction to be more of an overview instead of it being a summary, as we can see how this is confusing. Our wording in the paragraph will be reworked to be more easily understood as well as give a larger overview of why these are important as well as their uses. We are also planning on lengthening our Neurogenesis paragraph as well as adding a detection paragraph further explaining how anti-miRNA Oligonucleotides are detected and their expression analyzed within the body. We will also reread our page to make sure that we have linked all the Wikipages that we need to. As for our figures in the project, we believe that they are copyright protected images from Journals, which is why we did not insert them initially. Therefore, we will are planning on adding in original images instead of the ones that we were going to add at this time.

Disambiguation link notification for November 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anti-miRNA oligonucleotides, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Melting temperature. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
