message: I really enjoyed reading about Dr. (?) Nauta, I think that this article has an excellent information and conveys it in a well-structured manner. I am especially intrigued by Dr. Nauta's personal life - this article chronicles his early life and career as a neuroscientist and anatomist very well. I have a few minor suggestions that might help with some clarification. First, be sure to note that Dr. Nauta is in fact a medical doctor (by his name in the intro paragraph add "M.D." - the article notes he attended medical school and received his degree). Also, while it may be difficult to find, an image of his novel staining technique might serve as a great addition to the article. Finally, if other individuals that were mentioned have Wiki pages, it would be good to add links to these pages as well. Overall great article, as the reader I was familiarized with the important aspects of Dr. Nauta's life and with the information provided, I had an easy time looking deeper into some of the topics.

thread_title:  Secondary Review 

message: Hello, I'm doing a secondary review of your Wikipedia article. The background and history section is very detailed and interesting and gives the reader an understanding of the character and motivation of your assigned scientist, Dr. Nauta. I think a little more detail on the research that Dr. Nauta participated in other than the creation of the silver staining technique would give more information on the type of research he focused on and other contributions to science. Overall very interesting and well put together article! Thank you! Lvmubio (talk) 19:26, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Secondary Review 

message: I really liked the research/recognition part of your article - it was laid out nicely and easy to follow. Two main suggestions I would have would be to include a photo or two more just to give some more color to the page and keep the reader invested in the great information that you guys have. Another recommendation I would have is to break up the first part of the page that doesn't have a header into categories like "early life" or "education and professional career" or something like that. As of right now it's just a lot of text, and I think breaking it up would help! Overall, I really liked the article and thought you guys did a great job! Alyne123 (talk) 20:44, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Secondary Review 

message: Hey!! I am doing a secondary review on your article. I thought your page was well written and was easy to understand. I thought it was very interesting how his main contributions was working with rats and how he used his wife's breast milk to feed the rats which was very weird but important to know. I do agree with  in adding more pictures just so we can get more visuals along with his life and his silver staining. Overall I thought the article on Walle Nauta was very readable and I enjoyed learning about his life and contributions to the science community! Alau0624 (talk) 17:44, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Secondary Review 

message: Hello! 
Overall, I really enjoyed reading your article on Walle Nauta. The lead paragraph is only a few sentences, so I think it would be beneficial to give more information in that opening paragraph to give some general introductory material for the reader to have before diving into the rest of the article. To now go through the 6 main aspects of a good article, to start off I believe this article was very well written. I thought the sections were well thought out, and concise. One thing about the layout I would consider changing is how you had a header that says "Move to the United States", and then many subsections under it. There is some information under the title "Move to the United States" that is discussing before he was in the United States, such as in the research section when mentioning when he obtained his degree. I believe it would help the flow of the article to eliminate the "Move to the United States" title, and move that information to the section above since there is already a sentence mentioning when he moved to the United States. Possibly the section named "Education and Early Career" can be retitled to "Education and Career".
I believe this article is verifiable with no original research. After looking through all of the sources, they are sufficient secondary sources and are from reliable sources. There is one video interview of Walle Nauta listed, but I believe this is not a problem because the rest of the sources are secondary. I had trouble following source number 5, listed as The Righteous Among the Nations Database. I was having trouble finding where the information that was cited was coming from on this website, possibly a more direct link to the specific page on that website could be helpful. I also do not see a link for source number 3, which seems to be the same as one of the external references from the "Biographical Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences", but I am unsure if this is the same source or not. Possibly the external references and references section could be made more clear in order to understand where the external references come into play in this article
This article is broad in coverage and does a good job of explaining what is important without getting into too much detail that could be difficult for the average reader to understand.
This article is also neutral, it states facts about the life, career, and research of Walle Nauta and nothing is opinion based or bias. This article seems to be stable as well.
There is an illustration within this page, which is a photo of Walle Nauta. This photo has a copyright status attached, which is shown when clicking on the image. This leads to show that it is in the creative commons. A problem I see that was brought up by other users and has been flagged for deletion below on the talk page was that you claimed the photo as your own, which I see when I click on the photo, so it may not meet the proper criteria for it to be published on Wiki. This photo does not include a caption, so this could be good to include if all copyright statuses were met properly. Possibly just including his name as the caption would be sufficient. I am unsure if there is a picture of the Nauta Silver Staining Technique available, but maybe that could be included.
I chose to review source number 7, "Application of Silver Degeneration Stains for Neurotoxicity Testing". This is a secondary source because it is a review article that was written by another author, not Walle Nauta, and it references work done by Walle Nauta. Pubmed also verifies that this is a review, as well as it being stated within the paper itself. It is found in a reputable journal "Toxicologic Pathology". The only concern I have for this review is that it is from 2000, but since this review focuses on this history of different techniques, it may be sufficient for information on Nauta's technique. I found all of the internal citation to be accurate in getting information from that source. Possibly another internal citation could come after the sentence explaining Wallerian degeneration. I see that this source has a lot of history on different scientists' contributions, but the authors did a good job of taking key relevant information.
Overall, great job with this page! I really enjoyed reading it and learning about Walle Nauta.

replies: text: , you seem to be evaluating the contributions of a student (). But your comments above show that you were looking at a later version, where other editors (including me) had changed various things (outlined in my comments above). I'd think you should be evaluating the article as 7826macfarm left it. You can see that a number of things have changed since then. --Macrakis (talk) 17:56, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

text: Thank you for the good suggestions. We will eliminate the "Move to the United States" section and combine it with the section above. For source number 5, I think there was an error in citing it in Wikipedia, as it was supposed to cite a specific page of the website. We will update that so it is correctly cited. For source number 3 we will also recite that to make it more clear. We already tried to find a picture of the Nauta stain, but were unsuccessful, though it was a good suggestion. 7826macfarm (talk) 20:03, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Primary Review 

message: , you added the photo :File:Walle_nauta.jpg to Wikimedia, claiming that it is your "own work" and that you are the copyright holder, both of which are obviously untrue. The photo is labeled "MIT Museum", so you need to check what license the MIT Museum offers for it. It is perfectly possible that it offers it under a Creative Commons license, but you need to prove that. In the meantime, I have tagged that file as a copyright violation and it is liable to speedy deletion.
Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and your instructors should have made that clear to you. --Macrakis (talk) 18:29, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , thank you for the ping. We have a training here that instructs our student editors how to upload images and media. Our training explicitly states on slide 12 "Never try to work around these questions by claiming an image is yours if it isn't. That's a copyright violation."  please carefully review this training and please do not claim others' work as your own in the future. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:34, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
