I disagree with the speedydelete request. First, ask the editor who added this micro-stub what his intentions with it are. --Larry Sanger 20:36, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

For the record, it was suggested by a constable that I do this. I will contact the author. --Todd Coles 20:43, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Sorry Todd, just trying to apply the rules across the board. Apparenty, some are a little fuzzier than others! My bad. --Matt Innis (Talk) 20:57, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

No bad at all. I just happened to notice this, and then I happened to notice that the article was authored by a distinguished Health Sciences editor...then I thought, hey, we should ask him what's up, before we delete. --Larry Sanger 21:26, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Okay, I added some stuff to help keep it! --Matt Innis (Talk) 22:45, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

Etiology

I deleted the following:

"These would include long term causes such as atherosclerotic lesions or plaques building within the venous walls or can be caused by short term conditions that result in swelling and increased vascular pressure such as sprained ankles, knee effusions, and even improperly applied wraps or bandages."

I am not familiar with any of these causes being true. Does anyone of literature citations to support these? - Robert Badgett 17:12, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
