Wikipedia's
Peer review process exposes articles to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a
featured article candidate. It is not
academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.
For general editing advice, see
Wikipedia style guidelines,
Wikipedia how-to,
"How to write a great article", and
"The perfect article". Articles that need extensive basic editing should be directed to
Pages needing attention,
Requests for expansion or
Cleanup, and content or neutrality disputes should be listed at
Requests for comment.

The following peer review suggestions were semi-automatically generated by a
javascript code - they may or possibly may not be accurate/applicable for the article in question due to unique differences for each articles. They are provided as a supplement to manual suggestions, and generally focus on
stylistic issues that peer reviewers may miss or not be aware of.
Creation procedure
Generally, the suggestions will be generated
semi-automatically by
User:AZPR, though all users can run the script themselves by following the
instructions for installation.
How to respond to a request
Feel free to strike out issues that have already been taken care of or to respond to problems; questions about issues can be left on this page (which hopefully an editor will notice and respond to) or on the articles
peer review page.
How to remove a request
Automated reviews for articles that have been closed or archived should be left on this page to keep the links organized.
How to get updated suggestions
A message can be left at
here or
here requesting an updated automated review, or you can install the script yourself by following instructions at
User:AndyZ/peerreviewer#Installation
Notes
Please see
User:AndyZ/peerreviewer/guide for additional information about specific suggestions.

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Consider adding more
links to the article; per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and
Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.
[?]
- You may wish to consider adding an appropriate
infobox for this article, if one exists relating to the topic of the article.
[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 2 yards, use 2 yards, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 2 yards.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km2, and pounds -> lb.
[?]
- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 24 additive terms, a bit too much.
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- The script has spotted the following contractions: didn't, couldn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]
[?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of
Wikipedia's best work. See also

- Well You know, that English is not my native language, but nevertheless, a) I think the first sentence "Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown (lysis) of skeletal muscle tissue (rhabdomyo) due to injury to muscle tissue." should be improved; Rhabdomyolysis can not just be caused by 'injury' (mainly traumatic reason, I think), but generally by an (multifactorial) "impairment", can it? b) In the chapter "History" there is a direct external link in the first sentence; in the German wiki, that's not allowed.

redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)

- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- Avoid misplaced formality: “in order to/for” (-> to/for), “thereupon”, “notwithstanding”,

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide
context for the article.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 8 litre, use 8 litre, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 8 litre.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km2, and pounds -> lb.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.
[?] Specifically, an example is 415 Nm.
- Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
- Per
WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long – consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per
Wikipedia:Summary style.
[?]
- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 33 additive terms, a bit too much.
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]

Wikipedia's best work. See also
