Wiki Critique of the FtsZ[1] Article
The FtsZ article is a basic start on a good Wikipedia article. The introduction is concise and briefly talks about what FtsZ is, but it does not state what the article will discuss. Also, references should be linked so that people know where the facts in the introduction came from. The outline of the page is rudimentary but methodical. The history section consists of three small paragraphs that do not flow. This suggests that multiple editors added their share separately. To improve, one can re-write the section for better coherence. The functions of FtsZ are all well represented in accordance to their significance. As function is the main part of the article, an addition of a "Structure" section will greatly enrich the article and the images of the structures of FtsZ used. Since structure influences the functions of proteins, readers will also gain a deeper understanding as to why and how these functions happen. The material discussed is all relevant to the topic and is generally up to date. However, there has been more research conducted with new insights into the functions and mechanisms of FtsZ.[2] Random references were also checked which all brought up unbiased, peer-reviewed journals. Lastly, there are seven references that are not linked to any passages in the article. Linking these will greatly improve the coherence of the article as readers will know what facts were pulled out from these references.
