I re-submitted the article Kent W. Colton on March 9th and it is currently under review status. Is it possible to have an expedited review since it is a re-submitted article?

@MicrobiologyMarcus: Dinman01 (talk) 20:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no way to guarantee a speedy review, be it for a new draft or a resubmitted one, they all go into the same category. Drafts are reviewed in no particular order by volunteers. Do you have a particular need for a speedy review? 331dot (talk) 20:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your prompt reply. There is no particular need for a speedy review. I will remain patient. Dinman01 (talk) 03:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, most people (myself included) don't do reviews or re-reviews upon request. That said, when I've reviewed pages that have addressed their issues, I'm happy to evaluate. I'll take a look at it when I'm doing AfC reviews next but I won't promise that I will approve it or decline it (sometimes if it's close and I've WP:INVOLVED having reviewed it before, I will let another reviewer make a close call determination, especially if the prior declination was based on WP:N—although a cursory glance above shows I may have had WP:IC or WP:PROMO concerns originally). If I see some areas to improve on or something that's lacking, I'll try and come back here to provide concrete feedback. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 20:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've left some maintenance tags in the article, and I've converted your referenced authored section into a plain wikilist using the {{cite book}}, though you may want to review and see if {{cite journal}} may be more applicable. Note that in that template, you can use digital object identifiers to create links to the authored works as you would in the references section.

Overall however, I feel that the article is still extremely promotional in wording and my opinion is that is does not meet WP:NBIO. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:17, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
