5.a. Currently, there are not 350 words included in the revision on Drug testing. So far, references have been the only topic added to the article. The group stated that they are going to add in the types of presumptive testing, the court case about drug testing student athletes, and breath testing. It may be in their favor to pick only two of the subjects above. If they go into detail on the presumptive testing then they will have quite a bit of information that would later have to be narrowed down.

5.b. All of the details that the group plans to add to the page are necessary. I worry that the color testing for presumptive testing may get confusing since there are 5 types. I would suggest that they make sure that they do not go into unnecessary detail and get straight to the point.

5.c. So far there is not any bias in the summary of suggested edits. I would make sure to steer clear of any bias when talking about the court case of Vernoia School District 47J v. Action 1995 and the court case of the Board of Education of Independent School District No. 92 of Pottawatomie County v. Earls 2002. Make sure each viewpoint is discussed throughly without any outside preference.

5.d. The only editing done to the page is citations so there are not any references yet.

5.e. Original research has not been included in the summary of edits as far as I can tell.

5. f. There are not any mechanical errors in the summary of the edits. Everything that the group plans to talk about is clearly stated.

5.g. The citations and edit summaries are organized with correct titles and paragraphs that are easy to read and understand. By reading this information I have a clear understanding of what direction the edits are heading. If the group keeps the edits in this order when they add to the article then it will be a perfect flow.

5.h. The page complies with the style guidelines for lead sections and the layouts.

5.i. There are not any Wikilinks added to the article so far. They could add a link to the court cases listed.

5.j. No images have been added to the article yet. I would suggest they find an image of a school or an image of the color testing.

Professor review

5a. 89 words have been added to the article (the edit on March 20 added these words). That leaves 261 words still to add. You'll definitely be able to get to this word count with the edits you've suggested below. As you go, you might also find, as Ellen suggested above, that you can reach the word count by focusing on only a couple of your planned new sections.

5b. So far, the edits focus on the topic and don't go into unnecessary detail. I like that you've just given a brief overview of the five primary color-tests reagents. Any more detail would have been too much.

5c. The revisions and planned revisions represent viewpoints fairly and without bias.

5d. The revisions added so far are adequately referenced.

5e. So far, the revisions do not include original research.

5f. The revisions so far are well-written and follow copyright laws.

5g. So far, the revisions flow well within the article.

5h. The page complies with style guidelines.

5i. The revisions include appropriate Wikilinks.

5j. The revisions so far do not include images. Let's brainstorm potential images during class.

Summary:

We are adding in the detection periods for Codeine for hair and blood/fluid tests. We are adding in the five primary color-test for presumptive substance testing. The five are Marquis, Dillie-Koppanyi, Duquenois-Levine, Van Urk, and Scott Test. In the article not much information or mentions of the breath test (AKA breathalyzer) are stated. We are adding in a Subsection under Types in the article contents since breath test is one of the most common test for alcohol. We are also going to add in how the US Supreme Court allows random drug testing of student athletes, which was stated in the Vernonia School District 47J v. Action 1995 case and Board of Education of Independent School District No. 92 of Pottawatomie County v. Earls 2002 case. We are adding this into the United States subsection under the Legality,ethics and politics section in the article.

New Information:

1) There are five primary color-tests reagents used for general screening purposes. The Marquis reagent turns into a variety of colors when in the presence of different substances. Dillie-Koppanyi reagent uses two chemical solutions which turns a violet-blue color in the presence of barbiturates. Duquenois-Levine reagent is a series of chemical solutions that turn to the color of purple when the vegetation of marijuana is added. Van Urk reagent turns blue-purple when in the presence of LSD. Scott Test's chemical solution shows up as a faint blue for cocaine base.^[3]

2) Codeine: Hair Test Detectability Up to 90 Days. Blood/Oral Fluid Detectability 1-4 Days.^[4]

Actual Words Put Into The Main Article Page

Urinalysis is primarily used because of its low cost. Urine drug testing is one of the most common testing methods used. The enzyme-multiplied immune test is the most frequently used urinalysis. Complaints have been made about the relatively high rates of false positives using this test.

Up to 90 Days. 1 to 4 Days.

Breath test is a widespread method for quickly determining alcohol intoxication. A breath test measures the alcohol concentration in the body by a deep-lung breath. There are different instruments used for measuring the alcohol content of an individual though their breath. Breathalyzer is a widely known instrument which was developed in 1954 and contained chemicals unlike other breath-testing instruments.^[5] More modernly used instruments are the infrared light-absorption devices and fuel cell detectors, these two testers are microprocessor controlled meaning the operator only has to press the start button.

To get accurate readings on a breath-testing device the individual must blow for approximately 6 seconds and need to contain roughly 1.1 to 1.5 liters of breath. For a breath-test to result accurately and truly an operator must take steps such as avoiding measuring “mouth alcohol” which is a result from regurgitation, belching, or recent intake of an alcoholic beverage. To avoid measuring “mouth alcohol” the operator must not allow the individual that’s taking the test to consume any materials for at least fifteen minutes before the breath test. When pulled over for a driving violation if an individual in the United States refuses to take a breath test that individual's drivers license can be suspend for a 6 to 12 month time period.
