Wikipedia:Featured article review/DNA repair

Article is still a Featured article.

One single reference; no inline references. - Samsara (talkcontribs) 22:44, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finished; extensively referenced now. That required more of a rewrite than I originally planned but I think it's more focused now. I did raise the question of the references for the pathways on the talk page, but it looks like the original creator/s have moved on. Opabinia regalis 06:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. The reference system is not set up correctly (number in text do not match with those in the reference list)
  2. The lead is overly technical,
  3. Lots of discussion of telomeres - without explaining what they are
  4. Many parts of the article that discuss primary research still have no references
  5. The language and grammar are really bad in places.

Voting on a withdrawn nomination aside, further discussion and specific criticisms are invited on the article's talk page. You are right that the references are unwieldy; I've converted them with refconverter. There is, of course, elaboration on the nature of telomeres on the linked telomere page, but an appositive has also been added with a brief description.

  • Keep Peta, can you give examples of what you're talking about? specifically:
  1. do you still find the lead overly technical?
  2. primary research - give examples so that references can be sought
  3. poor language/grammar - pls give examples

seeing as it appears that there are no more objections, can the "featured article removal" flag be removed from the article?
