Sourcing for ELISpot Assay
[edit]Hi I just wanted to say that I am not at all comfortable with the sources that you have provided for the above article. They are almost exclusively for companies that sell products linked to this assay. There are other sources that do not have a financial stake in this subject and all these pages you linked to have a section "products" or "Ordering". I had a quick look and here are a few sources that seem to be a good place to start British society for immunology or maybe another US National Library of Medicine or this one Science Direct or maybe bio-protocol or maybe this from Nature (journal). If you like I can move the article to draft space to allow you time to replace these sources that have a conflict of interest with independent sources. --Dom from Paris (talk) 17:25, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
- Just to be clear the sources that you have largely used could be considered as WP:BIASED because they have a financial stake in the subject. Try this page for advice in identifying the right kind of sources for medical based article Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). Because I am far from being an expert in this area (I am a new pages reviewer) I'm pinging your course tutor who may have an opinion too Amyc29 and also Doc James who, as his username suggests, is a physician but also an admin, a very experienced editor and a major contributor to WP:MEDRS.

- @Domdeparis: thank you for bringing up these issues. I will continue working with this article tomorrow to make the references reliable sources, as well as working with this student to help them understand our policies. Cheers, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:48, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
