Brice's Peer Review

• Do the group’s edits substantially improve the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review “Guiding framework”?

The group edits do substantially improve the article. The information provided through the group's edits have significantly added to context of the Wikipedia article, and the added content is both relevant, reliably sourced, and are neutral to the topic.

• Has the group achieved its overall goals for improvement?

The group has achieved its overall goals for improvement of the article. Each group member has contributed significantly to the subsections they had assigned for themselves.

• Does the article meet Wikipedia guidelines? Are the edits formatted consistent with Wikipedia’s manual of style?

Per Wikipedia's manual of style, the groups edits mostly adhere to the Wikipedia guidelines. Edits to headers are consistent with the required, sentence case formatting; the existing style of the article is also maintained. As for the page contents, some edits should be adopted to comply with the MoS. Under the sub-header "Classification," the current numbered list that was modified should be a bulleted list as the sequence of these items are not critical. As well, certain key terms, such as LEU, ILE, and VAL plasma concentrations under "Monitoring", BKD and BCAA's under "Liver transplantation," along with other symptoms listed throughout should either be explained briefly or link the reader to an appropriate article that is relevant and useful in the context of the statement being made.

Otherwise, the edits made to the article do follow the MoS closely. Many of the edits made on the article also work to improve user readability, which is an important component of following Wikipedia guidelines.
