Review commentary[edit]

Notifications to Ziphon, Davidruben, Knowledge Seeker and WP MED

According to Wikipedia:Featured articles/Cleanup listing, Asthma is among our most problematic FAs. Promoted in 2005, it is largely uncited, has been tagged as needing citations for more than a year, has an undeveloped History section, has numerous short, stubby sections, and has an underdeveloped WP:LEAD.

Yep this article has some big problems. Hopefully we can get enough people interested to get this article back into shape. It was peer reviewed in July. Wikipedia:Peer_review/Asthma/archive2#BirgitteSB. Most of the recommendations are still applicable. Ziphon (^ALL_ears) 04:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not currently meeting my definitions for FA. For instance, long inline quotes from researchers are completely out of place (section about long-acting beta-2 agonists). The history section is woefully inadequate (nothing to say apart from some random quote from a minor paper) and ignores about 2000 years of asthma research.

Hey Sandy, whatever happened to "only one nomination at a time"? ;) Dabomb87 (talk) 00:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Suggested FA criteria concerns are referencing (1c), comprehensiveness (1b), and LEAD (2a). Marskell (talk) 17:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
