GA Review

Overall, the article is in pretty decent shape, and definately represents a good start. However, after looking through the article, I have failed it's GA nomination, for the reasons described below. I hope my comments can be addressed soon, and the article renominated. To help in the process, I've tried to provide as many links as possible to various Wikipedia guidline pages.

• Overall, the article lacks sources. Not only would more be better, but there are a few things which require citations that don't currently provide one. Namely, quotes and facts that are potentially contentious or extraordinary (such as the claim that he is the first doctor to catch the ebola virus). For more info, see WP:Cite.
• The citations that are there need to be formatted more consistently, and provide more information and full attribution. I recommend using citation templates for citations, since they do all of the work for you. For help with attribution, see WP:WIAGA and WP:Attribution
• The article's lead paragraph also needs to be expanded dramatically. See [WP:Lead]] for more info on how to do that.
• I would also recommend an infobox, but I'm not sure which would apply here.
• The See also section is a little bloated, especially since one of the doctors doesn't even have a page. See WP:See also.
• An External links section would be nice. See WP:EL.

Hopefully the bullet points above can help with the further improvement of this article. If you have any questions or concerns with my review, feel free to drop me a line. Alternatively, if you feel my review is in error, you can nominate the article for reassment. Good luck, and keep up the good work! Drewcifer (talk) 00:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
