Nuclear export signal Article critique

MaggieCam (talk) 19:15, 27 March 2017 (UTC)The article contains only two references, each only used once within the entire 5 paragraph article. The majority of the article contains alleged facts that are unsourced. Giving the small size of the article, all of its components are relevant to nuclear export signaling. The article outlines the biological process, the interacting components, the discovery, and research progress on nuclear export signal. The article is neutral, with very specific biological processes explained and no contradicting components. The two sources for this article are both neutral, unbiased sources with numerous credible resources to back up their articles as well as credibility from multiple universities. Each section of the article is well formed, multiple sentences to each paragraph with intros and conclusions. All viewpoints are well represented despite the lack in citations. Both citation links work and are publicly available to view the full article, as opposed to just an abstract. All cited information is from 2004 to present day research. Additional information could be added from credible sources of more recent years. The article has been rated stub-class twice and low and mid importance by only two talks; Wikiproject Genetics and Wikiproject Molecular and Cell Biology. Other than the ratings there are no further discussions on the talk page of the article, which may contribute to the low rating. It explains nuclear export signal the way it would be explained in a lecture setting; the amino acid sequence composition, the location in the cell where it exists, the function, and the history of its discovery and research.[reply]
