Talk:Genetic engineering
From Pee Review[edit source]
If anyone can think of any ways to improve the formatting that would be particularly welcome. --Kelpan 19:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually any kind of help would be nice. --Kelpan 18:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Please? --Kelpan 16:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
| Humour: | 6 | It has a slow start, but the rest of it is pretty good. "Sheepie the Doll" is funny, but the article really gets good with the "Moral issues" section. |
| Concept: | 7 | I'm surprised we didn't already have an article about this. |
| Prose and formatting: | 5 | Not so good. The header section is in bold text, which is kind of distracting. |
| Images: | 8 | The images do a good job of enhancing the article. |
| Miscellaneous: | 5 | Russian reversals, red-linked quotes, etc. These make me sad. |
| Final Score: | 31 | Formatting is easily fixed, but you will eventually have to decide if the article is an advertisement for EasyChangeAGene ltd. or a general exposition on the wonders of genetic engineering. May I also suggest connecting the article to Transhumanism in some way? |

Thanks for the tips. I was originally hoping to make two articles linked together (genetic engineering and EasyChangeAGene) but didn't have enough material so combined them into one. As to the russian reversal quote, I put it in because it increases the likelihood of people getting the joke with the sheepie the doll quote. Both are taking the piss out of uncyclopedia in jokes; personally I think an article can get away with one or two of these as long as the rest of the article is accessible to the average IP. I'll see what I can do about the red links and formatting but I'm no expert on the finer details of editing wikis.
