References

In my reference to The Times I gave the full title of the article - it can be seen in the edit, however it does not show up in the Referenes.Osborne 21:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no <references /> tag in the references section -- the references are placed in that section manually via templates. You can do the same with yours (chose the appropriate {{cite}} template) or you can add a ref tag there. I would suggest the former. - Revolving Bugbear (formerly Che Nuevara) 21:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Numbers

How is that single fact get its own section, and is it anything more than trivia? dude1818 (talk) 05:09, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hyper? or Hypo? pigmentation

The lead on the article states the Malassezia can cause hypopigmentation. This seems unusual to me. I know in domestic species, chonic irritation (such as can be caused by Malassezia), tends to lead to a HYPER pigmentation (similar response occurs when you get a tan). I don't know what its likely to do in people though...

Unless its attacking melanocytes, I don't know why/how it would depigment the skin.
