Excellent example of confusing jargon.
editMy Big Complaint with Wikipedia is that so many of the technical articles (medicine, chemistry, physics, engineering, etc) are written in jargon, not in an understandable plain narrative. I have a degree in nursing and worked for many years; I also took advanced anatomy, physics, and chemistry in college, but not even I can decipher what this most of this article is struggling to say.
Wikipedia is not a technical manual nor an advanced text book. In this case, it is for "the masses" who want to quickly discover what PD-L1 is without needing a graduate degree. (Hello, Masses!)
Please - consider re-writing this article so that the casual, but curious, lay reader can discover what this protein is and what it does. It is far more satisfying seeing the light go *ON* in a learner's eyes than seeing that light go OUT. Define the jargon in the narrative, AT LEAST in the lede, then put the jargon in parenthesis with a link. That way, a reader won't have to abandon the article to go hopping around WP looking for more and more definitions. As the article goes on, then introduce the more complex terms and concepts. Lay readers everywhere will thank you! Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 21:27, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
