Just a friendly reminder that this article should be following the normal rule that we Cite sources, don't describe them. Factual information should be written as simple statements of fact, like "Taking hormones causes measurable changes to the brain", and not as "A 2011 review article by Prof. I.M. Portant in the Journal of Important Things found that taking hormones causes measurable changes to the brain". WhatamIdoing ( talk) 04:31, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
