Article Evaluation on Chromosome instability

  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic?
    • Yes, because it is a c-class topic there is not a lot of information to stray from.
  • Is there anything that distracted you?
    • No, there are no images in the article.
  • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
    • The latest citation made in the article was for an experiment done in 1999. Even though this is a later paper it does give information that is still relevant today. I think that X-inactivation could be placed in this paper as an example of unstable chromosomes.
  • What else could be improved?
    • If there were some images to refer to while reading the article I think that would improve it.

    • Yes the article is neutral. It gives what the experiments were and what the conclusions were without swaying the reader.
  • Now take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page.

    • There are some WikiProjects in three different categories that want to build on this topic.
  • How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
    • There is less information on epigenetic modification such methylation and acetylation that could cause chromosome instability.
