Outline of proposed changes
editClick on the edit button to draft your outline.
Lead: Would like to shorten the lead some, moving some of the content to the subcategories.
Medical Uses: Would move the mechanism of action to this section (? maybe ?) and to concisely list the indications. Also discuss when to do long-term tubes vs. short term tubes and how long they last. Current picture of the long-term tube is granular and has a weird caption. Likely remove this to have a better picture of a long-term tube
Procedure: Would like to remove some of the information that's not super relevant and neutral. The part where it talks about a child being quiet isn't necessary imo I want to move this section up below uses before adverse effects because it makes more sense to be here. Outcomes can land here ig? Would be nice to add an otoscope image of a grommet to this section (maybe a long-term tube too??? to show how they both look?).
Adverse Effects: Would like to list adverse effects similar to medical uses, otorrhea is the biggest so 100% want to touch on that here and the use of Abx drops vs oral Abx.
Outcome: Would include this information in the preceding sections. This isn't a necessary part can easily be added to the procedure and adverse effects
History: Would like to make a section on the history of T-Tubes. When we first started using them and how they've evolved overtime.
Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it's time to plan out how you'll improve your assigned article.
In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you've identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article's quality. Consider other changes you'll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further. Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you've identified will fill in a content gap. |
