Exosome (RNA degradation machinery)[edit]

I've been writing this article during the last few days, with the intention to apply for FA status after a short while. I am still working on it at the moment, so the content might change slightly (but not dramatically). As it deals with a scientific topic, I would especially appreciate comments on whether the article is comprehensible and make sense to its readers.

Things taken into account so far:

  • Full inline citation from scientific articles
  • All images are GFDL, except one PD-government image in the gallery
  • No redlinks, I generated reasonable (stub) articles for all links where no article existed and improved some of the already existing closely linked articles.

Semi-auto review[edit]

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

  • Shouldn't there be a free use image in the top right corner of the article?[?]
  • I would avoid including galleries in articles, as per Wikipedia:Galleries, by integrating images with the text.[?]
  • Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
    • While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 21 additive terms, a bit too much.
    • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
  • As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
  • Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
