RE: The HumanBot Curator Incubator & Link Drop v2.1

In future please link to a specific post and not a poster - it makes it easier to give more focused feedback. I enjoyed her last post and upvoted through my main account: https://steemit.com/health/@scienceangel/why-do-some-people-faint-after-having-their-blood-drawn

Clearly written and well cited. From the particular lens of Curie, this post doesn't really have any original thought and is more just a summary of the existing sources and literature on the topic - this is absolutely fine for a post in general, but to me I am not sure it meets the high bar of excellence I am looking for when submitting Curie posts. From the expanded guidelines: "Fact-based articles must be properly cited and with author’s personal take on them. Simply paraphrasing other sources without adding anything substantial does not qualify, even if properly cited."

You could argue that the author did add a short story RE her personal experience with this issue, and added a sentence of conclusion at the end. My personal opinion is this does not qualify as adding anything substantial to the information that was already in the sources.

Definitely a quality poster, I have added her to my Curie follow query.

Cheers - Carl
