GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. I am very impressed that you decided to write on this topic, researched it, and put together this article with accurate pics. I confess I know nothing about the topic, but your references accurately support your statement.

Comments
  • I suggest that you expand the lead a little to include a little on history and treatment. Per WP:LEAD, the lead is to be a concise summary of the article.
  • The only other suggestion I have is that you might change the section heading "Discovery and spread" to "History" as that is the common format for articles on similar topics.

Thanks! It was a bit weird, really - a paper wanted to use a photograph of mine to illustrate a news story about the most recent death (which never went to print, in the end), which is how I learned of it. I was curious about the whole thing, read up on the disease, found that the sources were all a bit confused, decided to see what I could do... it's certainly not my field at all!
I've made the changes you suggest - I've played with a dozen different headings here before, so a new permutation seems fair enough. Lede is now expanded. Thoughts? Shimgray | talk | 18:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
