Talk:Preprint/Clonally transmissible cancers
Scope
editSince this article is intended for PLOS Computational Biology, I think the computational aspects should be made clearer, though without unnecessarily repeating information already available via related pages like wp:comparative genomics. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 16:31, 24 November 2015 (PST)
Wikification
editThere are several issues in terms of making this article suitable for the English Wikipedia:
- Content
- Large parts of the article discuss what is already covered in existing Wikipedia articles, especially wp:devil facial tumor disease and wp:canine transmissible venereal tumor, which are referenced in the intro and under See also.
- Referencing is rather sparse — some paragraphs do not have references at all, which is in conflict with wp:Wikipedia:Verifiability.
- Media
- It is not clear whether Ted Donelan has consented to the photo being published under a CC BY license.
- For posting the article to Wikipedia, we will need the non-photographic files in SVG format.
- Formatting
- A number of links to existing articles are missing (e.g. wp:Single-nucleotide polymorphism).
- Terms like "major histocompatibility complex (MHC)" should be defined and linked on the first occurrence, rather than later.
- Section headings should be in sentence case rather than title case (cf. wp:MOS:SECTIONS).
Once the content matters are sorted out, I am happy to help with the rest. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 20:10, 24 November 2015 (PST)
