Talk:Preprint/Clonally transmissible cancers

Scope
Since this article is intended for PLOS Computational Biology, I think the computational aspects should be made clearer, though without unnecessarily repeating information already available via related pages like wp:comparative genomics. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 16:31, 24 November 2015 (PST)

Wikification
There are several issues in terms of making this article suitable for the English Wikipedia:
 * 1) Content
 * 2) Large parts of the article discuss what is already covered in existing Wikipedia articles, especially wp:devil facial tumor disease and wp:canine transmissible venereal tumor, which are referenced in the intro and under See also.
 * 3) Referencing is rather sparse &mdash; some paragraphs do not have references at all, which is in conflict with wp:Wikipedia:Verifiability.
 * 4) Media
 * 5) It is not clear whether Ted Donelan has consented to the photo being published under a CC BY license.
 * 6) For posting the article to Wikipedia, we will need the non-photographic files in SVG format.
 * 7) Formatting
 * 8) A number of links to existing articles are missing (e.g. wp:Single-nucleotide polymorphism).
 * 9) Terms like "major histocompatibility complex (MHC)" should be defined and linked on the first occurrence, rather than later.
 * 10) Section headings should be in sentence case rather than title case (cf. wp:MOS:SECTIONS).

Once the content matters are sorted out, I am happy to help with the rest. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 20:10, 24 November 2015 (PST)
