Thank you, I am an IP and I asked someone on the Help IRC to nominate this article for me because I cannot create pages. I will be responding to the improvements, but from different IPs time to time.-- Matthew Ferguson. 188.29.86.17 (talk) 12:41, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * This page was not transcluded on WP:FAC. I have done so now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:05, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Crisco. I am just starting a new job so there may be a few days delay before I answer any comments, but I am committed to bringing the article to a higher standard. Lack of standardization in the references format will probably be an issue so I will preempt this and fix it in due course. 188.28.128.90 (talk) 20:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Source review - spotchecks not done
 * 1) Why so many citations in the lead? See WP:LEADCITE
 * 2) Fixed number of columns is deprecated in reflist in favour of column width
 * 3) page needed tag needs addressing
 * 4) Formatting of authors is currently quite inconsistent - pick a style and stick to it
 * 5) Use title caps for journals
 * 6) Use a consistent date format
 * 7) FN28: formatting. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:16, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, many thanks for start of review. I will address these points over the next few days. 92.40.94.138 (talk) 18:23, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) I can remove some of these citations if needed, although some sources only occur in the lead and not in the body of the article
 * 2) I thought so, however I was being reverted. I will put it back.
 * 3)  has kindly offered to find the page number in due course. If not the source can safely be removed as the newspaper source will still support all the content in that section.
 * 4) I am aware and in process of making them consistent.  All authors now follow format Lastname Firstnameinitial.
 * OK, will do.
 * 1) I am aware and in process of making them consistent
 * 2) Sorry, what is FN28 format?
 * The current footnote 28, Liu C, Tseng A, Yang S (2004)., is missing part of its title, and the Google Books link should be truncated after pg=PA533. The current footnote 29, previously footnote 28, should have the publication title italicized. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:10, 8 July 2014 (UTC)


 * , just to be 100% clear, title caps is as follows: "British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery", correct? 92.40.92.255 (talk) 18:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Re FN28 and 29, all done. 92.40.92.255 (talk) 18:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the correct capitalization. Also, per the instructions at the top of WP:FAC, please don't use done and similar templates. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

All these points are done now. ty for pointers. 188.29.90.239 (talk) 18:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Also I can add that I have electronic copies of many of the references used if anyone wants copies to check verifiability or whatever. 92.40.94.138 (talk) 18:29, 7 July 2014 (UTC)


 * General comment. I would urge that all refs in the lede that are not to what is considered to be contentious text (probably all) be deleted, as long as corresponding text and refs appear in the body.  Also, I would urge that unless there is a good reason, the refs that are mid-sentence be moved to the ends of their respective sentences. Epeefleche (talk) 21:33, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Closing comment -- I know this wasn't transcluded to the FAC list until 30 June but OTOH it's attacted little commentary since then, and none for the past two weeks, despite being listed at FAC urgents, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Cehers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
