Starting Oxidative stress for Dec '07 Write-a-Thon

Plan today to add content first, then add source-citations as time permits today. Plan source documenting extensively for this article. --Anthony.Sebastian (Talk) 15:20, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Move part to separate article?

You wrote a few paragraphs about free radicals, structure of atoms, and covalent bonding. Would it not be better to move this away from under the heading "Oxidative stress", where nobody would look for this, to, for instance, an article "Free radical"? Or maybe to "atom" or "covalent bonding"? I could then add a few references to historic papers. As an additional remark: I think that it is very good that another "Citizendian" than myself writes about this sort of stuff. This gives another incidence angle and another style, e.g., I would never use a phrase like "eager atom", but it is OK by me. --Paul Wormer 02:12, 10 December 2007 (CST)
