Talk:Drug-eluting stent

"Design" section bad

It looks like it was written by ChatGPT. There are no hyperlinks, and most of the content is abstract garbage: "x is crucial". This doesn't meet any reasonable conciseness criteria. 50.234.189.23 (talk) 08:15, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Preliminary comments

1) Please go through the article and add links to terms that an ordinary reader is likely to need to understand the article. I will not consider it overlinking if there is a link to the first occurrence of a term in any given level 2 section.

There may still be some left to do.

2) I got the impression that some information was repeated more than necessary. There may be room for trimming the text a bit.

I have done most of this myself, concentrate on the detailed comments and inline tags

3) There may be other more detailed articles that can be hatlinked from sections.

4) This is a very old nomination. It would probably be good to check through it and assess any significant changes since nomination.

5} It is a large article. There may be more than can be comfortably managed in a week or two, but I am not in a hurry.

6) If I make a recommendation that is not a requirement for GA I will usually put it in a separate subsection.

7) If a change is small and easily reversed, I will probably just do it. If you don't like it please say why in the edit summary.

I have made more changes than I originally planned, as it was usually easier to make the edit then explain what I wanted.

8) If in doubt, ask.

GA comments and requests

a) Where there is a claim of risk, please cite stats where available. the significance of a change in risk is usually best judged from actual numbers. A complication is when something goes wrong, risk is the probability of it happening. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 18:11, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

b) I think the lead needs work. It does not appear to summarise enough of the body sections. I may get back to this in more detail later.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 19:36, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

c) Section "Uses" needs a section summary to tie it together. The flow of the whole section is broken and needs copy editing for coherence and logical flow. Subsection "Atherosclerosis: a general background", second bullet point, uses unencyclopedic language, bordering on promotional. Subsection "Clinical indications" needs copy editing to tie in the last paragraph coherently. Consider integrating it with the first paragraph. Infobox artery inserts an additional automatically generated short description in the section. Why is this image used as an infobox? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 04:02, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

d) There is a big chunk of redundant content after the comment I left in subsection "Stenosis and restenosis of blood vessels" I have not removed it myself as I don't know how useful the references may be.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 06:53, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

e) Subsection "Coronary interventions" also appears to be largely repetition of material presented elsewhere. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 06:58, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

I have trimmed this down a bit.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 15:16, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Optional recommendations and comments

There are noticeable stylistic differences between some sections. Some are written in simple language, others in considerably more technical language. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 04:17, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Totally over blown and combining too many themes. PLEASE review the pre-2024 history.

This article was 'originally' REALLY BADLY written and had not been touched for perhaps a decade prior to 2024. It was comprehensively re-done in 2024 and really should have been left alone. I'm aware of the ADMIN who is no longer - this individual blatantly attacked the 2024 author across the length and breadth of Wikipedia. I am not sure it should of the value of GA status. It was written for folks undergoing PCI and that is the end of it. IF YOU REVIEW THE TWO CLEAR STYLES - ONE IS FROM THE 2024 UK BASED CARDIOLOGIST - you can check his page and most of this is from this on person. The others are from across the spectrum - a few ER types also. Now it is a hard read - chose a style, stick with it and then walk away. ~2025-34086-12 (talk) 13:10, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
