Still needs a fair bit of work

• Many of the references are old such as #4 and #19 (1988 and 1993). Refs should ideally be from the last 3-5 years may be 10 at most and there are lots of review articles that are available and are.
• This article uses a fair number of primary sources. The content needs to be supported by secondary sources per WP:MEDRS such as review articles. Many of this exist for this condition. Sandler, AD (2010 Aug). "Children with spina bifida: key clinical issues". Pediatric clinics of North America. 57 (4): 879–92. PMID 20883878. {{cite journal}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)
• There are a number of style issues. Would be advisable to read the WP:MOS and make sure this article is compliant.

Will provide a more in depth review once these issues are addressed.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:41, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

I happen to be passing by and looking for a project for the next couple of days - I can't help with the references but I could certainly help with the style - could you give me a couple of pointers to things that you think should be particularly looked out for?

I think the references issues need to be dealt with before style can be addressed. I have closed the GAN as the editor in question is not very active.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

• Which parent should take what amount of folic acid before fathering or conceiving a child or children? It isn't at all clear from the introduction. Probably there are no studies on paternal age or health, but these would after all seem relevant to prospective parents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.68.220 (talk) 03:37, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
