link

I just linked a missing link 'co-artemether'(in artesunate) to this article, which, as noted is very rudimentary but explains how the 2 components belong together. It seems to me that artemether is less important than co-artemether, and would have liked to rework arthemeter to reroute to co-artemether and put the current artemether content there. My technical skills are not up to this, however - can anyone help, please? 160.62.4.10 (talk) 11:45, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Review

1. STUDENT 1 (Christine Boulos) – Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view? If not, specify… In general, this draft submission reflects a neutral point of view. Under medical uses, the author does state that artesunate appears to be more effective for treatment of severe malaria. This claim seems is supported by a reference for efficacy of drugs based on disease severity. However, it seems as though this may be a recommendation for treatment. I think it would be more neutral to state that Artemether is used to treat severe malaria, but remove the comparison to artesunate for treatment, since this may also vary based on unique patient cases. The other sections of this page did not seem to have any biases. 2. STUDENT 2 – Are the points included verifiable with cited secondary sources that are freely accessible? If not, specify… 3. STUDENT 3 – Are the edits formatted consistent with Wikipedia’s manual of style for medicine-related articles? If not, specify… 4. STUDENT 4 – Is there any evidence of plagiarism or copyright violation? If yes, specify…
