I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:16, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MEDMOS:

Do not hype a study by listing the names, credentials, institutions, or other "qualifications" of their authors. The text of the article should not needlessly duplicate the names, dates, titles, and other information about the source that you list in the citation. Always omit professional titles and academic degrees: use "Smith" or "Jones" rather than "Dr Smith" or "Prof Jones"
— Wikipedia:MEDMOS#Citing_sources

I have therefore removed many of the details about "when, where, and who" performed the studies to focus on "what" the studies say about resveratrol.

Also Wikipedia articles should not read like scientific review article. In fact, per WP:MEDRS, we should not be reviewing the primary literature ourselves, but rather rely on secondary sources. Most of the sources currently in this article are primary. These should be replaced with secondary sources where possible. Boghog (talk) 08:47, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This section:

• Reservatol#Content_in_wines_and_grape_juice

starts with a table showing Pinot noir as having almost no reservatol, and then a paragraph saying that "trans-resveratrol concentration in 40 Tuscan wines ranged from 0.3 to 2.1 mg/l in the 32 red wines".

But then the section ends with a paragraph that says "wines made from grapes of the Pinot Noir and St. Laurent varieties showed the highest level of trans-resveratrol, though no wine or region can yet be said to produce wines with significantly higher concentrations than any other wine or region."

That seems contradictory to me (Pinot noir has none but it has the most, and there's variation from 0.3 to 2.1 but there's no variation). Is one correct and one wrong? Or am I misunderstanding? Maybe I don't understand the difference between reservatol and trans-reservatol.

Which brings me to my last issue: after reading the explanation in Reservatol#Chemical_and_physical_properties, I still don't know if the good stuff is trans-, cis- or if it has to be plain non-prefixed reservatol.

Any improvements to the article would be appreciated. Thanks. Gronky (talk) 13:55, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've also skimmed the mentions of "Pinot Noir" in one of the cited papers [1] and I don't see anything to back up the numbers in the table of [[content levels. Can anyone review that data? Gronky (talk) 04:23, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While proofreading, I found a grammar problem called number agreement at Resveratrol#Sirtuin activation: "Some of the benefits demonstrated in previous studies were overstated,[115][116] however, this study was challenged immediately,[117] and a few experiments were suggested to be of inferior quality.[118]" "this study" refers to "previous studies", so are there studies or just one study? Should it be "previous study ... this study", "previous studies ... these studies", or "previous studies ... one of these studies"? 98.247.55.21 (talk) 18:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like at stated at Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals, seen here and here, "More eyes on the Resveratrol (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) article are needed. New editor Local4554 is repeatedly blanking material at the article without justifying his edits, and despite warnings not to do so." Flyer22 (talk) 18:52, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Before you revert content, it would be wise to read the edits. The material removed was biased and made by 3rd party pharmaceutical companies promoting their own products. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Local4554 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as far as I can see, this is not what you are doing at all. You are removing all reliable sources that have failed to find benefits of resveratrol. I am One of Many (talk) 01:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
