220:"Drug recall" Peer Review by Ariel Dellinger First and foremost, I am extremely surprised at the lack of information present in the original, one-sentence existing Knowledge (XXG) stub. Given that drug recall can be a very convoluted subject, I believe that this group did an outstanding job basically creating a new page that detailed removal of prescription and over-the-counter drugs from the market. The introductory section is brief, yet outlines the main types of class recalls by the FDA, but differentiates it from market withdrawals and medical device safety alerts. Although drug recall is different from withdrawal and alerts, if it is placed in the Knowledge (XXG) page, I believe there should be some external link or other Knowledge (XXG) page that addresses those ideas. It just feels a little out of place without further information. Also, I think the introduction could benefit why it is the FDA’s duty to recall drugs, as well as the frequency by which these drugs are reviewed. Furthermore, I think that the introduction should specify that this specific page applies only to the United States, unless it is planned on including information regarding the European counterpart. The article might also benefit from the addition of 3 more examples of a drug that was recalled, to give an example of recall class I, recall class II, recall class III, and Market withdrawal. In general, the wording of the article is unbiased, clear, and properly cited. The structure is clear, and its length appropriately justifies each heading. The only one I would consider expanding would be further changes in government policy, as there has to be more than two government policies related to drug recall throughout the 1900s. Each term and concept, like the FDA and the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, are linked appropriately to additional Knowledge (XXG) pages, but there are other ideas like medical safety withdrawals in the introduction and Effectiveness Check under Compliance & Reporting that could use external links to further explain those ideas. There are no content duplications, and this page does an impressive job of not overlapping information with the Contamination control and List of withdrawn drugs Knowledge (XXG) pages. The figure of Drug Recalls by class is easy to read, and is useful in comparing the total number of recalled drugs by class and by year. My only comment for that would be that if a legislature passed in 1997 is used, the years should go back that far as well. It does add a great visual to enhance the importance of the legislature passed in 2015. As for the references, the two that I cross-referenced were properly cited and extremely relevant to the topic. Although only 12 references are used, they are each used extensively throughout the article and come from unbiased and scientific sources. Overall, this group should be proud of the work that they put into creating this Knowledge (XXG) page, and their effort shows in the different headings, proper citations, and unbiased writing. They did a good job at taking an unaddressed and valuable topic, and providing basic knowledge for non-expert readers like myself. Minor additions could enhance the completion of this article, but the Knowledge (XXG) community will benefit from the addition of this page.

policies that have influenced the way drugs can be recalled. While the editors were only given a limited window, I think the
Knowledge (XXG) community could really benefit from more information on changes in policy, as well as more examples of famous recalls. First and foremost, the article does correspond to the Wiki standards in terms of language, content, bias and sources. The introductory section is definitely accessible for non-experts. I might suggest starting with a brief explanation, though, of why the FDA has the authority to control which drugs are recalled. It also might be helpful to introduce the hazards that follow if the recall is not taken seriously, so that amateur readers realize the importance of continuing to read. Most contents of each section justify their length, although the section header called “Changes in Government Policy” seems a tad broad compared to its very brief content. I would suggest, if possible, adding more information on policies before 1997 and between 1997 and 2015. For instance, I read online that the FDA launched an additional pilot program for notification of recalls in 2011. While FDA, various drugs, and various conditions are hyperlinked to additional Knowledge (XXG) pages, hyperlinks would also be helpful for OTC and the 21st Century Cures Act, for further reference. The highlighted example of Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is helpful and does a good job of showing the crucial importance of recalls in protecting generations of safety. Also, the content overall does not appear to be duplicative of any other content already on Knowledge (XXG). The figure of drug recalls by class seems like original work, and provides a great visual of how drug recalls have rapidly increased in just the last 10 years. It is also helpful in interpreting the three types of classes introduced earlier on in the article. If anything, I might move this visual up in the article and make it larger instead of a thumbnail image! That said, the references are complete and well-rounded. I cross-referenced their mentioned references, and was able to find all the data featured in the article in the proper sources. Since this article was originally only a stub, the editors did a great job of creating a systematic structure and adding relevant details based on only one original sentence. The group’s edits somewhat relate to the drug discovery aspect of the class, as one of the large risks of developing a new drug may be the threat of recall if the drug causes more side effects than anticipated.

mistakes before. For example, under the
Reasons for Drug Recall section, your list of classifications copy/pasted from the FDA site will probably be deleted since it's direct copy/paste and can be detected by machine. I understand that these are definitions from the organization but try to re-phrase them or summarize them as you did in the Lead section. There is no need to simply repeat the FDA site. Instead, summarize and illustrate each category with examples as your peers suggested would be better. It's great that you plotted the historical data on the count of the recalled drug. But I don't see you cite the source of the data. Please do that in the caption of the figure and also add that to the image page on Wikimedia Commons. Without the source of the data, people would not know if they should trust the figure. You can find more details on how to place and re-size your image and captions at Knowledge (XXG):Picture tutorial. One more suggestion on the figure is to reverse the order of the years (to 2004 on the left). The History of Drug Recall section is a bit thin. And the tone of this sentence "The purpose of this section is to highlight significant drug recalls, specifically in the United States." needs to be improved. Something like" Some significant drug recalls, specifically in the United States, are highlighted here to illustrate the history of drug recall in the U.S. " In fact, if you are not going to write a summary of Drug recall history, I would just call this section "Highlighted Examples of Drug Recall in the U.S." and put it as the last section. I noticed that you are starting each second level sections with the sentence "The purpose of...". I understand it's probably good for your working process. But please revise them in your final draft since it doesn't fit the encyclopedia tone. You have the "nowiki" tag around your Reference and reflist syntax at the end and that's why they are showing as the syntax rather than the formatted bibliography. Very good job with the reference formatting. But reference 9 is an Knowledge (XXG) page. So, it should be referred to as an internal link. e.g. Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 using the "]" syntax in the texts instead of inserting a reference. You did that in the sub-heading. I think there is no need to cite it again. The "Changes in Government Policy" may fit better under the History section as a sub-section.

should explain why the FDA has the authority to recall drugs, but we think that is apparent enough without saying since they are part of the US Federal governing body and specialize in food and drugs. As for
Changes in Gov't Policy, we've specified that these are US policies only. I think the two current examples are relevant because they both have made it easier for drugs to pass clinical trials which will inevitably lead to more recalls. I've added the Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 as per our professor's suggestion. I did not add a suggested 2011 pilot program because it is not an official policy change. It was suggested that Gov't Policy Changes should be a subsection of History, but we renamed history so that advice is no longer applicable. I regraphed the figure to move chronologically along the x-axis. It is now more centered, larger, accurately titled, and cited. There weren't any critiques on the Recall Process, except that Drug Type did not fit under the heading. I left it there because the drug type can either complicate or aid in the recall process, as stated in the article. In the Reasons for Drug Recall, the definitions of recall classes were quoted directly from the FDA instead of paraphrased, so I removed them. Lauren had already defined them in her own terms in the introduction, so I referenced those. As Lauren addressed, minor citation errors were corrected.

History section was modified to only highlight a few significant cases of drug recalls in the US, and features a disclaimer about its intended content with a link to a list of drug recalls on Knowledge (XXG). Another example of a drug recall was added by the advice of out instructor. Sections using the phrase "The purpose of this section..." were edited to remove or modify the phrase. Small errors with citations were corrected. Laheide (talk) 20:56, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

261:“Reasons for Drug Recall” and “Recall Process” sections are well done; however, other sections are underdeveloped. For example, the “Changes in Government Policy” describes policies that are not directly dealing with “Drug Recall”. Out of the top of my head, there was “Childhood Vaccine Act” (1986) that is more relevant to the article.
