I am nominating this featured article for review because if is not that well organized, some of it is confusing, and it is still limited in scope.

  1. Does not discuss trend in usage.
  2. Starts by says they are "a class of steroid hormones" yet on the steroid hormones page are not listed as one of the five classes
  3. "related to the hormone testosterone" does that include testosterone? And a couple others should be listed in the lead
  4. "stimulate bone growth" is mentioned in the lead however this is no longer done due to growth hormone and the article should reflect this
  5. medical uses section is a list. Should be presented as prose. Some uses are unreferenced. How effective for all these indications should be mentioned. A number of conditions are historical, some are in research stages, and others listed were found to be not effective.
  6. Mechanism of action and Pharmacodynamics are listed under side effects?
  7. Improvement tags are presentDoc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
