GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I'm reviewing this article for GA sweeps, where we look through older GAs. This will be a two-part review, the first is a skim. On this, I noticed the following problems:

• No barelinks for references; all refs need the title, publisher, etc.

• Done.

• The lead should be expanded.
• Physical appearance unreferenced.

• I've converted the EL to a proper reference. The section could use another reference or two, though.

• There are some references in MLA format, put at the end of the sentence. These all need to be converted to wiki format.

• Looking in the last paragraph of the section on History of use in genetic analysis, I couldn't exactly figure out what the "(Freman 214)" bit referred to. Other than that, the MLA references have been converted to the more conventional WP format. Emw2012 (talk) 03:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

• History of use in genetic analysis is mostly unreferenced.
• Genetic markers unreferenced.
• Development mostly unreferenced.
• Behavioral genetics and neuroscience.

I'll give you five days to show good progress on this, then I will do a more detailed review. If no progress is made I will delist it. Wizardman 02:16, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I like that the MLA issues were handled, that was nice. That being said, there hasn't really been any work on the references in terms of adding them, so I'm going to delist this now. There's a great foundation if you want to take it back to GAN down the road at least. Wizardman 15:59, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I would be happy to help with the references, there seems to be whole sections with only 1 or 2 refs. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 16:28, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

A suggestion, sense there needs to be many more refs would to get rid or the further reading and use those as refs if they were used for info. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 16:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
