(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
There are several noticeable inconsistencies involving the use of small font and subscripts in the article (i.e., L-dopa vs L-dopa and DA receptor #s, like D1 vs D1), but I'm going to pass this in spite of these issues because it's relatively minor.
This article only had some minor issues which prevented it from being promoted outright. With these issues addressed, I believe that this candidate is worthy of promotion to GA.
In Dopamine#Storage, release, and reuptake, the following text sort of makes it sound like only D2 long/short receptors are present in a DA synapse: Once in the synapse, dopamine binds to and activates dopamine receptors. These can be the D2Lh type, located on the postsynaptic target cells or the D2Sh autoreceptor type located on the membrane of the presynaptic cell. Might be worth rephrasing this.

I don't know anything about that and don't know why it matters -- my preference would be to delete that sentence. Is there a reason why it needs to be there? Looie496 (talk) 15:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not really since the DA synapse illustration shows what DA receptors are located on the axon terminal/dendrites, but I clarified the statement anyway and added a ref. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This statement in Dopamine#Nervous system should probably be cited: The dopaminergic areas they identified are the substantia nigra (groups 8 and 9); the ventral tegmental area (group 10); the posterior hypothalamus (group 11); the arcuate nucleus (group 12); the zona incerta (group 13) and the periventricular nucleus (group 14).Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 17:23, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is somewhat disconcerting. I'll pass the article even if that isn't covered, but it's worth noting that a dopamine dysregulation syndrome is literally just a drug-induced behavioral addiction which isn't specific to Parkinson's disease or PD drugs. The text described it as a disorder involving motor dysfunction like PD. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 01:14, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can you give some guidance on how to handle this? Our article on DDS seems to describe it entirely in the context of PD treatment. I'm not sure where to go here. Looie496 (talk) 15:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I covered this in 2 sentences at the end of the PD section; I've covered the DDS in several addiction-related articles, so I just used sources that I've used elsewhere. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. Looks good with these points addressed. I think this article is definitely GA status now, so I'm going to go ahead and promote it. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
