Neutrality

As this article talks way more about the Jews that have the disease, and not the others, I will be adding a neutrality tag. Some instances of it are:

~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 01:35, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the academic literature such as this paper PMID: 12108829 it mentions Jewish people as the carrier state is 10 times more common and thus homozygous individuals would occur in 1 in 3600 as opposed to 1 in 360,000 in the general population.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but there was WP:UNDUE weight there. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 14:27, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed one section that was just poor. But the rest... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:01, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SS

I suggest that we get this as Wikipedia:Summary Style. Getting Tay–Sachs disease#Genetics, Tay–Sachs disease#Prevention, Tay–Sachs disease#History, Tay–Sachs disease#Society and culture, and Tay–Sachs disease#Research directions. The page is 58,720 bytes long, justifying the splitting. I'm posting this here as I won't be bold here as it's pretty fustrating being reverted for these things. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 19:04, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I support summarizing and creating Prevention of Tay-Sachs disease etc. with a main link.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:13, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will. Also webciting some references. Lets try to get this to GA. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 19:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A-Class

As some editors have improved the article even more from when it was re-promoted, I suggest that we get get this back. It is getting peer reviewed and I've requested copyediting. This article stands a chance at FA (I think). Apparently, we need 2 uninvolved users to endorse promoting this. So if you're uninvolved and think this article should be A-class, you may sign and comment. You may also participate in the peer review. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 01:46, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Define uninvolved? - Sudo Ghost 01:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I interpret "uninvolved" as not making numerous editorial changes. I don't think your one revert to this article disbars you from voting. Cheers, Magister Scienta ^talk 02:17, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
