Really nice expansion of the lymphocytic pleocytosis article. My main concern is the lack of <ref></ref> tags for your inline citations (where you used them) and the fact that many statements in your article are not directly supported by inline citations. It is important to remember that Wikipedia articles are continually changed and improved. Numbered references that are written into the article become very difficult to maintain when new material is added to the article. It just isn't workable over the long term.

The article also needs more wikilinks. Wikilinks are valuable to readers, since they allow them to learn more about the topics discussed in an article. For example, most people won't know what some term means, they can click through and find out more. A lot of the people who read this article aren't going to know much about the topic. Adding links like these help integrate your article into the rest of Wikipedia, making it more useful to readers.

Finally, it would be very helpful if you could convert your references to use citation templates. If you look at the top of the edit window (the place you type text after you hit 'edit') you should see the word 'Cite' on the toolbar. Click on that, selected appropriate template from the drop-down menu, and fill it in as best you can. Doing that creates a better formatted reference, and one that it easier to maintain in the long run. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:22, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
