I'm using User:Dr pda/prosesize.js. My output was 'Prose size (text only): 2212 B (332 words) "readable prose size"'. I've made some revisions, adding prose though. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 02:01, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Size is 2364 B. IMO, you can add the fact that she died on her 60th birthday in the hooks as very few die on their birthdays. However, the inline ref for that - a forum [1] - does not seem to be reliable. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:34, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm open to ALTs, but don't think that dying on one's birthday is particularly noteworthy given that the chances are about 1 in 365 for anybody. I've replaced the forum ref and provided a different ALT. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 06:34, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

First one is good. The term "self-assembling peptides" is not present in the article text. Add it. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:47, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
