 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Article Draft
Sray13 Review: The electrical activity we see on an EEG are called brain waves. The four waves: alpha, beta, theta, and delta are all seen in the different stages of sleep. Alpha waves are seen when a person is in a resting state, but is still awake. Their eyes may be closed and all of their body is taking a break (I would suggest re-wording this). Beta waves take over alpha waves when a person is at attention, completing a task, or concentrating on something. Theta waves occur during the period of a person being awake to them transaction into Stage 1 of sleep (grammatic corrections). Delta waves are seen in stage 3 and 4 of sleep, when a person is in there deepest of sleep.
Chodges8 review: So far I am not really sure if what you uploaded was just what you added or there are tiny changes you forgot to indicate. Either way there are a few grammatical errors you can fix such as this sentence: "Delta waves are seen in stage 3 and 4 of sleep, when a person is in there deepest of sleep." This is grammatically incorrect and it should be "their" instead of "there." There is always room for growth since we are just starting reviewing and contributing to these articles. Overall this is a great topic and I hope to see whatever interesting information you add to this particular article!
Review response: I have changed the grammatical error that was brought to my attention in the review. I changed "there" to "their" to meet the grammatical requirements for this sentence. I also made the grammatical correct in the sentence above in the review. I made so changes to the sentence suggested to reword. I think these changes have improved my draft.

Article body
Article portion: During slow-wave sleep, humans secrete bursts of growth hormone. All sleep, even during the day, is associated with secretion of prolactin.
Key physiological methods for monitoring and measuring changes during sleep include electroencephalography (EEG) of brain waves, electrooculography (EOG) of eye movements, and electromyography (EMG) of skeletal muscle activity. Simultaneous collection of these measurements is called polysomnography, and can be performed in a specialized sleep laboratory. Sleep researchers also use simplified electrocardiography (EKG) for cardiac activity and actigraphy for motor movements.
My contribution:
The electrical activity we see on an EEG are called brain waves. It has been revealed that the intensity of EEG waves on a frequency are related to one's sleep-wake cycle. Meaning that the body is linked to certain waves at certain points during a person's day such as; being asleep, falling asleep, being awake. (Borbély et al., 2016). The model EEG waveforms seen are; Alpha waves, beta waves, theta waves, gamma waves, and delta waves are all seen in the different stages of sleep. Each different wave maintains a different frequency and amplitude. Alpha in beta waves are the only waves seen when a person is in an awake state. Alpha waves are seen when a person is in a resting state, but are still fully conscious. Their eyes may be closed and all of their body is taking a break, where the body is starting to slow down. Beta waves take over alpha waves when a person is at attention, as they might be completing a task or concentrating on something. These waves consist of the highest of frequencies and the lowest of frequencies, at this point a person is fully alert. Theta waves occur during the period of a person being awake, and continue they transition into Stage 1 of sleep. Delta waves are seen in stage 3 and 4 of sleep, when a person is in their deepest of sleep. (~~~~)

Can you bring over a portion of the existing article and then highlight your changes (bold, italics, or underline)? That will make it clear how much of this is new content and how it will fit in with the existing article. I am not sure I would use the phrase "their body is taking a break"? This feels vague and I am not sure what you mean. The following statement "Theta waves occur during the period of a person being awake to them transaction into Stage 1 of sleep" needs some grammatical correction. I am not sure what "to them transaction into Stage 1 of sleep" means. Are you trying to convey information about transitions? Finally, how does your citation fit into the information above? Can you use Wikipedia to add the citation in as you did during the assigned exercise? (LIZ)
