Talk:Vinclozolin

message: Hi everyone! I have done extensive research on vinclozolin for a class project, which required that we post our findings on wikipedia. This is my first time posting an article on wikipedia, so please edit or correct and mistakes I have made that do not conform to wikipedia formatting. Thanks!

message: I have a suggestion for an addition to this article:
Vinclozolin has also been found to have neural effects, such as changes in cognitive and locomotor abilities. 
I thought it would be a good idea to expand on this topic.
A review article that has some information on this can be found through this link: http://www.sciencedirect.com.proxy.bc.edu/science/article/pii/S0016648014000483

thread_title: Suggestion for Expansion

message: I think your article is organized in a way that makes sense to the reader, and is obviously very well researched. Truly a great edition to Wikipedia. However, I would like to see the "Links to Cancer" section expanded upon. With carcinogens such a hot topic issue for many people across America, I think it would be beneficial to flesh this section out. The following article may help. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2817613/

thread_title: Classmates' Comments

message: I thought your article was wonderful - very informative. You covered a broad range of topics and especially your section on Environmental and Health Impacts was fleshed out well with content and sources to back it up. 
Minor grammar error in Environment section, I think you mean to make "test" in second sentence plural so it reads "Laboratory tests indicate..."
I had just one question - you mention units in the "Use in the United States" section as "use of vinclozolin per crop (lbs AI/yr)" - just for clarification, what are "AI" units?  Perhaps you could clarify?
As for one small suggestion for improvement:
- Since I am a biochemist I am always interested in the synthesis of a compound, would be interested to see the actual chemical reactions written out in the "Preparation and application" section, perhaps with structures and byproducts. It would be informative to see the reaction process, especially for myself and fellow chemists, and the byproducts would be good to know as far as environmental impact too!

thread_title:  Just a little food for thought 

message: Overall, fantastic job on the article! You clearly did extensive research and the organization is great. Here are just a few suggestions about how to improve the article:
* In the introduction, I would expand “It is also used on turn on golf courses” to include why it is used. In the previous sentence you point out that it is used to control diseases in vineyards and on fruits and vegetables but what is it’s purpose on golf courses?
* In Use in the United States, I would present the data in the form of a table. It would be easier to read and understand.
* In Preparation and Application, I would provide links to the wikipedia pages of some of those chemicals used to create vinclozolin.
* The Environmental and Health Impacts section is very impressive. Great job!
