Talk:Neural tissue engineering

To whom this may concern, I'm currently in a course where we pick a topic and write a wikipedia page on the topic. I chose Neural tissue engineering, and I have been compiling research to help me write about the topic. I just wanted to let you know that I will be updating this page. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilary Lynch (talk • contribs) 19:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

2. Article size: 2/2
3. Readability: 1/2

4. Refs: 2/2
5. Links: 2/2
6. Responsive to comments: 2/2

8. Writing: 1/2

• Thanks Alex! I'll make an introduction section when I get the chance and proofread again to make the wording more like an encyclopedia article. Hilary Lynch (talk) 14:52, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Try to define the topic within the first sentence. Be careful with capitalization (Chronic electrode implants - third paragraph). Be consistent with references; some have spaces between words and [1], some don't. Good use of images.
