This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Chicago/Evolution_and_Development.
Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Hey I peer reviewed your article. I thought it was super good. I wasn't quite sure which sections you did, just introduction and life and works as I saw on the page history. I thought the article was really interesting and having my main interest in History of Medicine I was happy to read about. My first criticism concerns the citations. While your sources were good, it was sometimes hard to tell what was being cited. For instance, your last paragraph on the first section has no citations, and it is unclear where it would be. Otherwise, most things are minor. You leave off a threat about Knox thinking he was a bad surgeon. Was he bad? Was a 90% rate normal? Was Knox's opinion isolated (then just dropping it there may give that opinion undue importance)? I thought the section on his works was very good, but its citations remain too sparse and it is difficult to see which claim relates to what. Any mention of other scientists that he may have collaborated with would be quite usefulBretsilverglate (talk) 20:27, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
