message: Great job on this article! I have a few minor changes in mind. First, most of the citations in your article appear before the period at the end of the sentence. The correct way to place the citations is right after the period concluding the sentence in which you cited a reference. Next, in the “Neurobiological Significance” section, you write: “The strength-duration time constant of both cutaneous and motor afferents decreases with age, and this corresponds to an increase in rheobase. Two possible reasons for this age-related decrease have been proposed.” I think you should instead say: “Two possible reasons for this age-related decrease in the strength-duration time constant…” because you mention both constants in the previous sentence and this change will clarify which constant you are talking about. Overall, great work! – Reedich (talk) 06:00, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much for the suggestions and mentioning the formatting issues for the citations.  I have changed the citations and adjusted that sentence in the Neurobiological section. Pieningd (talk) 14:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Review

message: I felt that this article was very comprehensive and thorough in its explanation of the rheobase measurement. I was very impressed with the introduction. I especially liked that you chose to define your subject using its greek roots. I felt that you did a great job of linking topics in your article to other Wikipedia pages. This was beneficial to me, as the reader, because I was able to read further about some of the mathematical topics. The following are some suggestions for improvement:
*In the sentence: "In the past strength duration curves and rheobase determinations were used to assess nerve injury and today, plays a role in many diseases such as Diabetic neuropathy, CIDP, Machado-Joseph Disease, and ALS" I would change plays to 'they play' because I think that you are referring to the strength-duration curves and the determinations. 
*I noticed that in some places throughout the article "strength duration" was hyphenated, and un-hyphenated in other spots. I would suggest making sure that it is hyphenated every time the duration curves are described in order to be consistent. 
*In the sentence: "Use of these methods in toxic neuropathies have enabled researchers to designate protective factors for many peripheral nerve disorders, and several diseases of the central nervous system (see Clinical Significance)" I would change have to has because it refers to the use of the methods. 
*The title for you Clinical significance section has a spelling error: Clinical significane. 
Overall, I think that the article was very well done. 
Best of luck with your final edit! Czepielk (talk) 02:41, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
