message: Starting today, myself and two colleagues will begin to edit this page to make the stub more complete. If any deletions could be held off for today, it would be much appreciated, as we will need the time to complete the article and all of its required formatting. Thanks!

thread_title: Students project

message: I thought you did a really great job on your page.  It was very informative, well-organized, and the topics were clearly explained.  I only have a few comments/suggestions for you all.  The section on anatomy was extremely long and a little difficult to read through just because of the length.  I would maybe consider breaking it up into subsections based on different topics and aspects of anatomy since you discuss a wide range of topics from organelles found in satellite glial cells to receptors to different types.  Otherwise I thought everything else was great.  I was going to say I wish there was a picture, but I'm assuming you are having trouble finding one that you have permission to use.

replies: text: Thanks for the suggestions- we broke up the anatomy section into subsections to make it more easily readable. You're right that we're having trouble getting permission to use an image-- we e-mailed a professor at OU a few weeks ago, at the beginning of the whole process, but he has to talk to his legal team before he grants us full permission to use it, so I'm not sure if we'll have an image of a satellite glial cell to use before the completion of the project.LaurenMalishchak (talk) 03:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Thanks for all of the suggestions! We divided up the anatomy section. We have tried to get permission for use of an image of a satellite cell by e-mailing a professor at OU a few weeks ago, but he has to talk to his legal team about releasing full permission to us, so we might not be able to get an exact image of the cells before the end of the project. We have added other images, however.LaurenMalishchak (talk) 03:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Thanks for your help! We lengthened the introduction to include a general summary of each of the other sections so that readers know what to expect. We combined the location section with the Anatomy section, since location was only one line. We also broke up both the Anatomy and Chronic pain sections so that they are more manageable. Additionally, we changed the order of the paragraphs under the anatomy section so that all of the location information, which is more broad, is at the beginning, while differences from other cells was moved to the bottom.LaurenMalishchak (talk) 03:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the help! We were actually told that the list, which we really liked, should be turned into a paragraph, so we unfortunately had to change that, but we did add more information about the chemicals. We're hoping to have a chart from one of our sources eventually added to the article, but, like the use of many images, it must first be approved, or we must find another way to use it. I think we might have figured out a better way to use the information from one of the charts, and as such, it should be appearing soon. LaurenMalishchak (talk) 16:25, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the help! We added length to the introduction and properly cited all of the information there. We added some images to the body of text, but unfortunately have still not been able to gain permission to use an image of a satellite glial cell even though we have emailed a professor at OU. He has to talk to his legal team before he can make the formal Wikipedia release, so it make take more time than we have left in the semester to get the image up there. Finally, we managed to divide up the Anatomy section to make it more readable!LaurenMalishchak (talk) 03:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: After looking back at the article, I saw that the confusion around the role/location of the P2X7 receptor was due to poor wording. These receptors are expressed on glial cells, including microglia and SGCs, just NOT on the sensory neurons, in contrast to the other types of P2X receptors. Other corrections regarding the confusion about the presence of GFAP as a marker should be made shortly. Thanks for pointing these issues out! LaurenMalishchak (talk) 21:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

text: I resolved the issue regarding the expression of glutamine synthetase in astrocytes. It is indeed expressed in these glial cells as well as in SGCs, but it is used as the best marker to identify the SGCs. Also, I broke up the anatomy section into more manageable reading sections based on the information presented in the section. The first section is just all the general knowledge about the anatomy of the SGCs that are similar to the anatomy of other glial cells. Then we discuss the specific anatomy of cells in specific types of ganglia. The final section talks about the distinctions between SGCs and other glial cells. In this way, we tried to make the section organized from broad to more specific information. Furthermore, because we rearranged the anatomy section in this way, we do not feel that it is necessary to make a table outlining the anatomy information. We think it would just be very redundant, especially since the section is more easy to read now.Gdusing12315 (talk) 02:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: We were able to find some good images that relate well to the information presented in the article. Furthermore, we broke up the anatomy section into smaller subsections so that it's easier to read. We also arranged it so that it goes from most broad to least broad information regarding the anatomical features of SGCs in different areas of the PNS. For this reason, we decided that it would be unnecessary to add tables outlining the anatomy. It would be repetitive, especially since the section is more manageable now with subsections.Gdusing12315 (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: I moved the Schwann cell sentence so that it is part of the previous lines. The anatomy section will soon be split up as per your and others' suggestions.  After checking on other similar pages, the convention seems be that the physiology section follows the anatomy section, so this will remain as is. We are also hoping to briefly describe what a ganglion is, though we recognize it is not our job to fully explain them, as they are not the main concerns of this article, and we have already linked to the articles of each type of ganglion. I removed the first sentence under Roles in health issues, as I think you're right- it's not really needed. Thanks for the suggestions!LaurenMalishchak (talk) 21:21, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Peer Review/Comments

message: I could not read the article completely, but after a quick look some comments:
*You have found a great amount of bibliography. Also most used articles are reviews which is great. Congrats.
*All has a dark side: Probably due to the quantity the quality of some of the sources is not that great: The article would probably improve if some of the oldest sources are substituted with newer ones (I see sources only used once from 1955, 1970...). Similarly I am not too sure about the reliability of obscure journals such as "Z Zellforsch Mikrosk Anat."
:We have replaced many of the oldest articles with more updated sources, however some are anatomical observations that have not changed over the years so we decided to keep them. In reference to the obscure journal you mentioned, we cited the author a couple other times throughout the article and has published in reputable journals therefore we decided to keep the citation.

text: We have included several more images of the location of SGCs, Thanks for the suggestion Burgart (talk) 02:26, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

text: I am not sure what you mean by this. Do you think we should include information on the when these cells are initially expressed in infants? Burgart (talk) 02:26, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: The section labeled External links was removed because in our peer review we were advised that we were not supposed to have a like to just a picture. They were also included in the article when it had "stub" status and thus we deemed them unnecessary after we edited the article.Burgart (talk) 02:45, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Notes

message: Hi guys, nice job with the article. Just a few issues:
*In the anatomy section, you refer to erythropoietin as a neurotransmitter. It can control neurotransmitter release but in itself it's not a neurotransmitter.
*In the Function section: "An established mode of controlling the microenvironment in sensory ganglia is the uptake of substances by transporters, which carry neurotransmitters into cells when coupled with Na+ and Cl−". This makes it sound like most or all neuronal or glial transporters are responsible for transporting neurotransmitters, which isn't correct. Only a small proportion of all cellular transporters will move neurotransmitters. They don't all require coupling with Na and Cl either.

thread_title: End of Boston College BI481 Project

message: This sentence, near the end of Structure section, referenced by ref. 10, seems to say that SGC have axons: "These filaments are found in greater concentrations at the axon hillock and at the beginning portion of an axon in an SGC of the sympathetic ganglia." Perhaps it could be rewritten? Maybe, "These filaments are found in greater concentrations in SGC of sympathetic ganglia which are surrounding neurons at their axon hillock and at the beginning portion of a neuron's axon." Or, better, "In sympathetic ganglia, these filaments are found in greater concentrations in SGC which are surrounding neurons at the neuron's axon hillock and at the beginning portion of the neuron's axon."UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 09:05, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
