Hi. I got your ping. Is there something I can help you with? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:50, 2 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, we have submitted a paragraph (with cited source) onto the Interleukin 26 page under the "Roles" section. We were wondering if you could please take a look at it and let us know if something is faulty? Thank you! (Ericcheah123 (talk) 19:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC))Reply

Nice work on your paragraph. I replaced your reference with an automatically generated one. If you use the Cite tool (which is up on the toolbar in the VisualEditor) you can usually generate a properly-formatted reference using a DOI, PubMed ID or a URL. I would strongly recommend doing that - it's easier, much of the time, it's generally easier to get at the source (since there's usually a link) and it's easier to maintain over time.
With regards to the content, I think it looks good. I would recommend removing the last sentence though because it's speculative. Everyone wants their research to "provide insight" into something or other, but that's just academic writing filler. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:57, 2 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ian, thanks for the feedback! I've altered it as requested. (Ericcheah123 (talk) 19:41, 7 June 2016 (UTC))Reply

Hi Ian, I added two sentences to the HSP page under reference 9. I was wondering if you could please look that over? Thanks! (Ericcheah123 (talk) 20:22, 7 June 2016 (UTC))Reply

Looks good overall, but I don't think ASO is spelled out anywhere. I'm also a bit skeptical of the source - see [1] It isn't necessarily wrong, but when the sources are iffy it's a good idea to find a more reputable one - ideally something that's indexed by PubMed.

Hi Ian, I added two sentences to the IgA nephropathy page under the first paragraph of the pathophysiology section, with citation 2. I was wondering if you could please look that over and see if it's legit? Thanks! Ericcheah123 (talk) 20:06, 22 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
