Resveratrol
I'm nominating this article to FAC. This article has improved greatly in the past few months and was promoted to GA status about a month ago. Please add some input about the article. Thanks.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 20:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The article is a great base to work on, but the lead is too short. Go be one with WP:LEAD and all of it's goodly advice. Two to three properly developed cohesive paragraphs are ideal. Short stubby paragraphs throughout lead to poor prose flow, and even without reading thoroughly indicate there are more significant prose issues lurking. To the greatest extent possible paragraphs should represent a cohesive idea. Short paragraphs either need to be expanded, merged, or eliminated as not important enough. Unless a survey of the sources shows that the article covers all important facets of the topic, the article probably needs to be expanded a bit to be comprehensive. Carefully prioritize what facets are most important and allocate space based on that. - Taxman Talk 05:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Do you have any other suggestions for improving the prose?  Wikidudeman  (talk) 00:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, once you implement the above. :) - Taxman Talk 03:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I won't be able to implement them anytime soon. I guess it isn't ready for FA afterall, however I can use this opportunity to get as much input as I can so that I can improve it until next time I decide to nominate it.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 15:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, well the next best thing after the above is done is to find a really good copyeditor willing to go over the article carefully. That's not always easy, and also see if you can't interest other people from the Wikiproject medicine as well. - Taxman Talk 16:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm going to withdrawal this FAC nomination. Please leave some notes on the talk page of the article to further help me improve it. Thanks.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 16:48, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
