thread_title: Wow, in ''Eight Years'' since this article's creation, there has been no discussion on the talk page

message: In addition to the ethics of neuroscience, the conventional literature on neuroethics often implicitly (if not explicitly) discusses psychobiology, psychology, psychiatry, and policical issues involving mind control and the science of interrogation. The "scientific interrogation" aspects even made it into popular culture following news stories about this regarding the Bush Jr. administration. Furthermore, there is clear literature on this article's subject prior to actually coining the expression "neuroethics". This may be obvious enough to editors with expertise in this area as to include without sourcing, but I thought I would run it by on the talk page before doing so. An issue might be that academic journal articles, which are clearly within this article's subject matter, might not overtly use the expression "neuroethics", either because it had not yet been coined, or because it is obvious to any professional reader of that journal.

First of all, fantastic job on this page! It is very well written, easy to follow, and extremely informative. Your links to other pages are great and you treat all the issues with a nice amount of attention and detail. You really got me interested in this topic.
I just have a couple comments for you to consider (but by no means should you think you have to do these! They're just suggestions). In your intro, when you say "Rees and Rose (as cited in 'References' on page 9)," why don't you put in a footnote at the end of the sentence and cite the source in your notes section rather than using this parenthetical citation? Overall in the article the citation system seems a bit disorderly - why do you have a separate notes and references section, wouldn't it be easier to combine them? In some cases, you have citations that aren't linked to the reference section (for example, at the end of the section "Neuroethics of Neurological Treatments" you have a citation that doesn't link to the ref section). In the section on "Brain Interventions," you mention Peter Cramer but you don't cite the source (at least not directly).
In the section on "Brain Imagining" maybe flesh out a little more what you mean by "intentional deception." I was confused the first time I read it, and I think it will be easier to understand if you give a clearer definition of this term. Also, in the section "Neuroethics of Stem Cell Therapy," after the first paragraph I might include a brief description of stem cell ethics in general. I feel like you get specific into applications of neuroscience in stem cell therapy but don't adequately cover all the ethical issues this entails.
Overall, amazing job! I really enjoyed reading this article. Thanks, Neuroit (talk) 02:14, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Your introduction is very informative, well structured, and provides great examples that capture the reader’s attention. Personally I find it very easy to read. 
Great job linking outside pages back the original page. 
I might suggest adding foot notes to some of the paragraphs and sections throughout the Wikipedia page. 
For the category of problems, are there any articles or websites that you can link to such problems being presented?
Careful while linking back pages that do not exist. 
Overall, great work. --Rterrones (talk) 17:43, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment two

message: Hi Mariah and Devon,  PC here.  This comment is for both of your sections.  Overall nice summary and well referenced.  You did a good job finding the appropriate sources for your articles.  Make sure you have enough to meet the requirements.  For the stem cell section, you should make the neuroethics of stem cell research more explicit.  Please spend a little more time making those connections from stell cell research to ethical implications/arguments.   Be sure the citations are proper and there are no typos! Thanks!

thread_title: Comment 3

message: I don’t know how much of this is yours but great job, this is probably the best article I saw that was part of our neuroscience wiki project. It is very easy to read and very informative.
The introduction is good and detailed and the history of neuroethics section gives a nice very overview of everything. The key issues in neuroethics section is especially well done, with a lot of detail and useful information.
It was very hard to find think of any useful feedback that might help you with the article, but I would just recommend one thing -- making more links to different Wikipedia pages, for example stem cells have their own wiki page and you could link it to, as well as fMRI and there are a few other terms I came across.
Again, very good job on the wiki page! Gumovnik (talk) 05:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment 4

message: Thank you all for your comments! I did my best to address some of the clarification issues concerning intentional deception as well as clear up any typos. I added another section in the stem cell section about the ethical implications of using stem cells. I also found more sources to back up and flesh out my section of this page. Thanks for all of the constructive criticism. Riahnend (talk) 07:22, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
