[edit]

(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)

Lead:

  • Yes, reflects the new content added by peer (however the change was very minor as I saw that most of the content was from the original article)
  • Has a clear introductory sentence, especially liked how Coulometry was clearly linked to the analytical electrochemistry discipline
  • Overall had a good sentence transitioning from the lead to the major sections, however I could also recommend having a sentence addressing that Coulometry also has applications in healthcare too as it looked like it was a major section in the article however the lead only mentioned that the body was covering the 2 Coulometry techniques
  • The lead is concise, I like that you are planning to address that the endpoint has various detection methods. it seems incomplete in the moment however I would also recommend addressing how the endpoint can be seen and what an endpoint indicates in Coulometry after it has successfully reached one (maybe it could be introduced in the lead then there could be a minor topic addressing it)

Content:

  • Yes, relevant to topic
  • Yes, up to date
  • For the lead article, it looks like it was missing how we can tell if a coulometric reaction reached completion/or an endpoint, a possible subsection or paragraph under potentiostatic Coulometry could be added explaining this topic
  • Doesn't address topic related to underrepresented populations


Tone and Balance:

  • Yes, it is neutral
  • No claims heavily biased towards a particular position
  • No over/underrepresentation
  • No persuasion, it does well in explaining the techniques in a neutral tone

Sources and References:

  • The in-text citations were consistent throughout the live article
  • Yes reflects the available literature on topic
  • Most sources from lines 2-5 were current however one of them that could be used with caution would be from line 4 as it dates back to the 1990s
  • Yes there was a variety of authors, however no heavily marginalized individuals included
  • The authors overall did a good job of finding primary sources, as they didn't refer to newspaper or secondary sources and mainly used peer-reviewed articles to write their article
  • Yes the links all work

Organization:

  • Yes overall clear and concise for all of the articles added. For the section in Coulometric Microtitrators, the part where it mentioned how it utilizes the electrolysis of water was a bit unclear. even though it mentioned the mechanism of the all reagents reacting, it doesn't briefly explain what the set up of the microtitrator looks like. to make this point more clear, I would recommend adding a sentence explaining the set up of it and also recommend adding images for the section to help illustrate this example.
  • No grammatical or spelling error, for the microtitrator section it wouldn't be necessary to have multiple transition words in the last two sentences. You can be able to remove "on the contrary" and just begin with microtitrators require...
  • Well-organized


Images + Media:

  • no images were included

New Articles Only:

  • Yes meets the requirements (there were 4 sources cited)
  • Accurately represents the literature
  • Follows the pattern of other articles well
  • Yes it consistently links to other wikipedia articles if there was already prior articles written on the topic

Overall Impressions:

The new article, especially the microtitrators section was very well written. It did a good job of referencing the authors and briefly describing how a microtitrator works. An improvement could be to add images to the sections that were being worked on as it could be a bit confusing to read through some of the parts of the microtitrator section without having a figure present (for that section, you can potentially add a diagram that shows what a microtitrator looks like then briefly explain the set up of it and connect it back to how it works)
