P.S. Please review WP:MEDRS, and consider whether all the sources you added to Tau protein meet with the standards outlined there. I would recommend using secondary sources (reviews, textbook chapters). JFW | T@lk 21:24, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi JFW! Thank you for the warm welcome! I did read through WP:MEDRS as you suggested, and I wonder if you could explain in more detail your comment above. As concerns the use of secondary sources, I actually did make use of a review of research on the tau protein, but the reviewers had cited several primary sources to support the presented evidence. I presumed that it would make more sense to cite the primary source than the secondary source. Would it have been more appropriate to cite only the review? Thank you for your help,
