Editors in journal and web cites

@177.227.43.209: Thanks for your contributions. I removed most of the editors that you added to the citations for the following reasons. For journals, it appears that you have added the entire editorial board to the citation. Normally only a single anonymous editor is involved in reviewing a manuscript submission and the rest of the board plays no role in reviewing the submission. A few journals like PLOS ONE, and Journal of Molecular Biology specify which editor(s) reviewed the paper, but the vast majority of journals do not. For press releases, it appears that you have listed the entire management group of the company issuing the release. Clearly at least a subset of the management group approved the release, but the author and editor may not even be in the management group. Furthermore the press releases are usually anonymous. Sometimes they list a contact person for further information, but this person may have played no role in writing or editing the press release. Including authors or editors on Press Releases unless they are explicitly listed in the source amounts to original research which is not permitted. Thanks.

Capitalised?

Shouldn't "survival of motor neuron 2" be capitalised? That sentence is quite confusing at first. Maybe, "Risdiplam is a Survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2)–directed RNA splicing modifier." Ecwiebe (talk) 21:23, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
