Review commentary
[edit]- Notified: Medicine WP, Dentistry WP (no user with over 20 edits to the article has been active since 2009)
I am nominating this featured article for review because after a notification of work needed in April, nothing has been done on this article. Here are some of the issues:
- Referencing is the largest issue with this article, as can be seen by the multiple citation and clarification needed tags.
- Multiple dead links, leading to even more of the article being essentially unreferenced.
- What makes ref #66 ("Ovarian teratoma (dermoid) with teeth") a reliable source?
- Many web references missing access dates.
- Prose needs some major work. For example, just from the Tooth development in animals section: "Teeth is atavic structure" and "Fish have many specialized bony structures,[77] it exist with".
- Many, many, many short (one or two sentence) paragraphs, which make the relevant sections very choppy and list-like.
- Technicality and over-referencing. For example, from the Molecular biology section, "Enamel knots as a signaling center in the tooth morphogenesis and odontoblast differentiation.[60][61][62][63]" First, what does this mean? It is complete gobbledegook to me. Second, why does it need four references?
- Technicality tag on the top of the article (it was on the talk page, so I moved it).
Overall, needs some major work on references, technicality, prose and MOS before it is back up to FA quality. Dana boomer (talk) 15:44, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
