Good job getting the right articles (both reviews and sources). I like how you used the references function.128.187.116.27 (talk) 16:18, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Snowwhite5567 (talk) 16:20, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

I like what you have so far--as someone who has no experience with this topic, what's matters to me is understanding why this complex is important, what the major results of decapping are, and when it is necessary/at what point it occurs to mRNA during its lifetime (does it always occur after a certain period of time, is it based on how often it has been translated, or some other external signaling pathway?). Also, I noticed some awkward/confusing phrases in the original article you could fix. Good work! Snowwhite5567 (talk) 21:00, 14 November 2020 (UTC)Reply


Nice work! I first read through the original article, then read through your edits, and thought they were helpful. The original one was a little confusing and I thought your edits did a really great job orienting me on what we were talking about, why it's important, and how it fits together.

I thought you did a great job both improving the organization/flow as well as adding relevant biophysical content when you talked about the actual mechanism of the complex. You've got lots of great links and references.

The title "How the Complex Decaps RNA" might be a touch informal. You could consider something like "Decapping Mechanism." Also, this section is a little small compared to the earlier ones.

Only other thing is it looks like it still needs a figure.

Really great job, I enjoyed the article and thought the addition was very valuable. Vazi97 (talk) 16:39, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply


Just checking in again, and great work! It looks like you've already published your changes, but if you are still making edits, it could be helpful to clarify a bit more what the purpose of the decapping complex is in the section "purpose of the decapping complex"--it currently focuses on the purpose of the cap, not the complex itself. You have really improved this article and made some major contributions, I'm impressed! Snowwhite5567 (talk) 20:02, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
