Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hypersomnia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CPAP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Narcolepsy edit

edit

Hi! I noticed your recent edit to the Narcolepsy article. You changed the subsection title 8.3 Hypocretin antagonists to 8.3 Hypocretin agonists. I reverted your edit because 'antagonists' is the correct word since the section contains the phrase "Therefore, companies are currently developing hypocretin receptor antagonists, like almorexant...". Accordingly, the correct section title is Hypocretin antagonists. See the Wikipedia articles Agonist and Receptor antagonists for further information.

Sorry, I read the first and second sentences, but not the third. And of course you are correct; the important sense of the section is Hypocretin agonists. I will revert my reversion. Perhaps you might want to touch up the paragraph to make the 'agonist' sense more prominent? Neonorange (talk) 17:12, 29 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Third thought - the section is under Research and the 'hypocretin agonist' sense is speculation rather than actual research. Consequently I waffled the subsection heading to Hypocretin antagonists (speculation that hypocretin agonist may be found). Do with it what you will.
