 * Hi Team 4.0, as you've probably noticed by now, your article has been nominated for deletion. It looks like what you're writing is a term paper. Are you writing this for a class assignment? Opabinia regalis (talk) 03:50, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, yes this is for a class assignment, do you have any suggestions as to what we could change in order to make this a better Wikipedia page?


 * I believe the Wikipedia Education Program is getting in touch with your instructor to discuss these assignments. It seems like the topics you and your classmates started with aren't all necessarily good fits as articles, though they're just fine as term papers.
 * Your draft is written like an essay (see the first few comments on deletion discussion linked above) - most assignments want to see a novel intellectual contribution from the student, but an encyclopedia article only aims to describe what's been written about the topic in reliable sources, not to create a novel synthesis of that information. You've clearly done a lot of research, but wiki articles aim to be quite a bit more focused, and the overall topic of the article should be something that is itself covered in the relevant literature. The other issue is that Wikipedia has specific guidelines for sources used for claims related to human health and disease, described here.
 * On a more minor note, I noticed you have many repetitions of the same source in the references (e.g., refs 80-85 are all the same article). Citing sources and Help:Referencing for beginners can help you with wiki formatting for references. Most important is the reference toolbar: there should be a toolbar in your edit window with a "templates" dropdown that will automatically generate the cite journal template if you fill in a PubMed ID or DOI.

Block
i have blocked you because your user name and your use of "we" above suggests multiple individuals may be editing under this user name which is forbidden. Before you create separate accounts, please wait until your instructor has discussed as mentioned above. I cannot see your article ever being accepted for Wikipedia and I would hate to see you all wasting any more time. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:47, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
