Reply to comment of WeirdNAnnoyed

Dear WeirdNAnnoyed,

Thanks very much for your quick review of the draft article about the Virtual Population. I had not expected that it would be reviewed so soon and thought that I would have time to edit and add more references. I would like to add images, but for that I need to acquire the images and the permission to use them.

I however take issue with: Comment: No solid evidence this particular computational model is notable. The sources are all discussing various research projects or applications of Virtual Population, not Virtual Population itself. Secondary coverage of the subject itself is needed.

References 2 and 4 are peer-reviewed scientific papers published in Physics in Biology and Medicine that describe the development of the first 4 Virtual Family models and several of the remaining models that make up the Virtual Population whole-body computational phantoms. Reference 7 is another peer-reviewed article published in PLoS ONE that describes the development of the MIDA head model. References 3 and 8 are US FDA web pages about the Virtual Family and MIDA. Reference 6 is to a book chapter published about the development of the morphing functionality.

I will post this reply to WeirdNAnnoyed's comment on the talk pages of both WeirdNAnnoyed's and my user pages. GoneDutch (talk) 10:52, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Updated four best sources

Three of the original "Four best sources" have been replaced with sources independent of the IT'IS Foundation and partners -- webpages from the U.S. FDA and Imperial College London.
