Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for all the work you're doing on medical articles. You might be interested to know there's a noticeboard where editors discuss medical content, and where you can ask for/offer help and advice about editing: WT:MED. Also, can I recommend reading WP:MEDRS? It's the guideline that governs the type of sources recommended for supporting medical content. Content that cites a suitable source is far more likely to remain in an article than un-sourced content. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 10:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello Rory, and welcome. I agree with Anthony that it would be useful if you had a look at MEDRS and MEDMOS. Your additions are much appreciated. I have made some changes to your additions to ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and heart failure. Have a look at what I've done. JFW | T@lk 12:47, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Carboxymaltose edit

Hi Rory, I have deleted this page for the time being after you blanked it. Please feel free though to recreate it with some text explaining the subject. It looks significant and notable enough to have a page of its own. Regards, De728631 (talk) 14:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply


Anaphylaxis entry. edit

I explained why I removed the text regarding those with atopy are not at increased risk of reactions - as they have been found to cause them in several cases - such as those with dextrans. Did you not see it in the comments next to the edit?

Yes certainly. However the reference in question does support the text in question. And we do not use primary sources to refute secondary ones per WP:MEDRS. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
By the way this is only specifically in people with atopy. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Anaemia in crohn and ulcerative colitis edit

I moved your addition of "anaemia" from Template:Symptoms in CD vs. UC to Inflammatory_bowel_disease#Signs_and_symptoms, because it seems to be a common finding in both condition rather than a distinguishing feature. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:10, 1 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Citation expander edit

Hi Rory, thanks for your edits to Upper gastrointestinal bleeding. I've standardised the format of the reference you added using {{cite journal}}. I do this by typing {{cite journal|doi=<doi>}} (or perhaps using the PMID) and then letting the citation expander do the rest. Other tools are listed at Help:Citation tools.

References edit

 

We at Wikipedia love evidence-based medicine. Please cite high-quality reliable sources. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:51, 25 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
