Kevin Chan's Peer Review by Jessica Zhang[edit]

Peer review of Kevin Chan's edits of 'Exoelectrogen' article

Structure: The article is written in a manner that makes sense as it begins by discussing the general knowledge before moving onto more specific examples. However, I feel like this would be more clear if transition words were used or if the text was split into different sections. I would prefer the latter

Content: The main thing that I would focus on is adding more in depth explanations of some of the topics, and make the transitions between two topics more clear. It seems like we jumped from "exoelectrogen" to "iron chelators" and there was a bit of a gap that needs a bit of elaboration. Also, because only iron chelating agents were discussed, the reader is given a very narrow knowledge base of examples. As such, it would be nice if other examples were mentioned or discussed or at least "exoelectrogen" the concept itself be elaborated a little more. Otherwise, the article is impartial and rationalizes the significance of the topic.

Writing: The writing itself is concise. The ideas are very succinct.

Reliable Sources: There are sentences, particularly in the last paragraph, that require citation. An example is the third sentence which lists a variety of transport proteins in a certain organism. These are definitely sourced writings. The sources used seem to be heavily focused on iron respiration rather than simply exoelectrogen. Jesszha (talk) 00:12, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Jessica Zhang[reply]
