This article has added a copious amount of information that is cited with references from credible sources. While reading through the article, I notice they follow a general structure of the defintion of epilepsy, diagnosis criteria, classifications, as well as causes and symptoms. The statistics given is factual and non biased, cited with the credible sources. In this sentence "Epilepsy is more common among children than adults where it affects about 6 out of 1000 US children that are between the age of 0 to 5 years old", I enjoyed how the article keeps the information gender neutral by using terms such as children, patients, person. This article meets the goals for improvement as they demonstrate understanding and credibility of the information. Melisalanzar ( talk) 21:35, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
D: The edits made in this article support diversity and inclusion by using gender neutral pronouns such as they/them. The language used does not specify bias or preference towards a certain race, gender, or ethnicity as the particular choice of words reflect inclusion. Examples of this vernacular include sentences such as "once a child has their first seizure or suspect seizure, they are then referred to an epilepsy specialist that will assess the seizures to make an accurate diagnosis". The language used in this sentence reflects the diversity and inclusion in the entirety of the article. By using such terms, the authors information and credibility in the article is strengthened as prejudices and bias are not considered. Rather, the information is logical and factual, strengthening the validity of the sources. Melisalanzar ( talk) 21:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
I thought this article was both very organized and professionally written. It follows a nice chronological order (Overview --> Diagnosis --> Testing --> Treatment, etc) with everything thoroughly backed up with reliable sources. I also appreciate how this article explores issues in society rather than confining this topic only in a clinical setting. I personally think that this substantially improves the article and has achieved its overall goals for improvement; the 'Treatment' and 'Social Impact' sections especially stood out to me; it will serve as a great reference resource for those interested in this topic. Lamboozled ( talk) 21:03, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
C: Yes, the edits are formatted consistent with Wikipedia's manual of style. Headers, bullet points, tables, and citations are all used appropriately. Everything is also written factually and methodically. Lamboozled ( talk) 21:03, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
This article contains a variety of secondary sources with a few listed that are not freely accessible. "Epilepsy-Work-Up and Management in Children" and "Epilepsy-Definition, Classification, Pathophysiology, and Epidemiology" are both articles from the Seminars in Neurology which are not accessible to the general public. Additionally, I have included three other articles that were not freely accessible online. 1. "Epilepsy Overview and Revised Classification of Seizures and Epilepsies" 2. "Febrile Seizures: Clinical Practice Guideline for the Long-Term Management of the Child with Simple Febrile Seizures 3. "Intrahemispheric reorganization of language in children with medically intractable epilepsy of the left hemisphere".
Three texts were also included that would require individuals to purchase and are not freely accessible online. 1. Devinsky O (2008). Epilepsy: Patient and Family Guide (3rd ed.). Demos Medical Publishing. ISBN 9781932603415. 2. Leppik IE (2007). Epilepsy : a guide to balancing your life. Demos Medical Publishing. ISBN 978-1-932603-20-0. 3. Gay K, McGarrahan S (2007). Epilepsy : the ultimate teen guide (1st pbk. ed.). Lanham, Md: Scarecrow Press, Inc. ISBN 978-0-8108-5835-0.
Besides the secondary articles/texts listed above, all the other references listed in this Wikipedia article are freely accessible. Kksop ( talk) 18:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
The article is very thorough, and it seems that the information is much more fleshed out. The article is also well-organized and easy to follow, and the sections make sequential sense. The lead section summarizes the article well, and although it does contain information not present in the rest of the article, it seems appropriate since it is generalizing statistics of the condition as an introduction. The article is also well-balanced in sections, with a lot of information to support each. I would just recommend that the article be read over and some of the grammar fixed (i.e. "The first condition which is two unprovoked seizures occurring greater than 24 hours apart will explained as follows." in the Diagnosis section). Sometimes, the sentence structure also reads as if many different people wrote it instead of one blended article. Overall, the edits substantially improve the article, and the group has achieved its overall goals of improvement, specifically the diet section. Comparing to the old article, it is more organized and thorough as well. Jtvko ( talk) 18:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
A: For the most part, the article reflects a neutral point of view, but there is a section that states "It is clear that leveticiratem when taken with valproate had the strongest results...". The information here is not neutral and reflects the study's point of view - primary literature (clinical reviews) is generally not recommended to be used for the article because later clinical trials can demonstrate them to be wrong. The "Diet" section seems more like it follows Wikipedia guidelines on providing recommendations based on systematic reviews (keto diet more effective than a low-carb diet).

Thanks guys for helping to improve Wikipedia by adding some references to support the article text. The references you added, while they do support the text, are not all the best sources per WP:MEDRS, which is the guideline for medical sources.

Edits I am suggesting to be made to treatments section specifically on dietary interventions.
The ketogenic diet paragraph has redundancy. I intend to remove these and make the descriptions of the diet more concise while introducing information on impact of diet on seizure frequency and freedom. I also intend to add a paragraph on the Atkins diet (another popular and effective diet for treatment) and where information is available, compare the two.

Hey, this is Sanabel, I think the article has the potential to be a valuable source for those in search of knowledge about epilepsy in the pediatric population, the overall clarity of the article is good, making it accessible to a wide audience and the content is accurate
noticed that the grammatical mistakes were corrected , the extra information like( A 2023 systematic review of the literature) were removed and some information is referenced that were unreferenced but it needs minor edits in different places:
- (Introduction); there is a repetition like for example Epilepsy is repeated 4 times it can be written in a better way
- (Social impact - Language) ; some information dont have a citation)
- like what was written in the workplan some pics and digraphs could be a good addition SanabelShaheen ( talk) 18:49, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello esteemed Wikipedians, I am a Master's student at Uskudar University.
