Hi, and welcome. Could you take a look at Hypertension? It needs you. Regards, Nancy Sculerati 16:57, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

we have no templates of any kind. The only health sciences articles that are currently approved are Infant colic and Contraception (medical methods). You can see how different those two are and they were both fine, so you should feel free to approach this as you feel you can do the best job. Other health sciences articles that are started, (some barely) important and could use lots of additions are Tuberculosis, and Cancer, Stroke, and Myocardial Infarction.

Robert (is it Robert?) I am pretty terrible at references and would advise you to teach me (once you figure it out) rather than ask me- although it's nice to get messages from you on my talk page. He isn't active tonight- but Gareth Leng seems to be great at this, and it's a pleasure to see your work here, by the way. Regards, Nancy Sculerati 19:30, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

No- try all the ways, andx we'll see how it works out. Nancy Sculerati 16:36, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

Lumbalgia

Hi Roger, I've been working on your LBP article. Are we heading in the right direction? If so, we might be able to pull together one more editor and work toward getting it to Approved status.. What do you think? --Matt Innis (Talk) 10:23, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for the quick response. I responded on my talk page. --Matt Innis (Talk) 11:22, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Venous stasis ulcer

Robert, I recently checklisted the article you started at Venous stasis ulcer and noticed that it was incomplete - not even in stub format. I had requested a delete, but was informed that I should check with you first and see what your plans with the article are and see if we should salvage it. Thanks. --Todd Coles 20:46, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

That page was a result of a discussion with N Sculerati about how to start a new page when I do not have time to write an entire page. The idea was that I would added sentences at a time. On that particular topic, I have done better writing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_stasis_ulcer. Although some of the pages I have helped on at WP I think are good enough to move to CZ with a little editing; I do not think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_stasis_ulcer is in that category except for its treatment section.

Ok to delete Venous stasis ulcer. Or if you prefer, I can bring over the treatment section only of the WP page. Regarding future pages, is there a prescribe course for starting stubs, or does CZ prefer I not start a page till its content is more mature?Robert Badgett 21:42, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Hi Robert, the relevent sections of Citizendium Policy for stubs is just in the CZ:Article Deletion Policy:

• it consists of two sentences or less, or 50 words or less, which have been left on the wiki for more than two hours;

Larry saved it! Then I expanded on yours some, so I wouldn't have to delete it, though this is not may area of expertise. Do look it over an make any changes you want for now. It shouldn't get deleted now. --Matt Innis (Talk) 21:54, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Hi Rob

Nice to see you back. Let me know if I can ever help you in any way.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 23:33, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Thanks very much.Robert Badgett 00:23, 9 October 2007 (CDT)

Accidental fall

I moved your article to accidental fall--I hope this is OK. The title should be singular, and the word "accidental" in the title makes it clearer what the subject of the article is. It's not autumn, and it's not a descending body of water. --Larry Sanger 07:49, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

You are fast.Robert Badgett 07:57, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

According to the National Library of Medicine, their canonical term is accidental falls. On one hand it seems ideal to match their term to facilitate future connectivity to other databases; on the other hand the plural does sound odd. Either way is ok with me.Robert Badgett 08:00, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

==Non-specific viral-like syndromes-- Articles to consider are West Nile virus, Dengue fever, borrelia (not lyme disease), leptospirosis, acute HIV, Enterovirus , and murine typhus. Maybe influenza and adenovirus.Robert Badgett 10:07, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

Do you want this fixed?

This. Stephen Ewen 01:03, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

There are a lot of technical things that would be nice to fix for CZ; I have littered the forum with some of them (highlighting citations/backlinks and nav popups). Fixing Infobox_Disease would definitely be on this (you must have been the person that fixed the link to the PMID on cite ref). While we are on a roll, how would I promote consistency in disease and drug articles such as done here. Thanks very much for anything you can do.Robert Badgett 01:36, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Cochrane Collaboration Moves

Hello Robert,

Moving the Evidence–based medicine section to the Evidence-based medicine page and the Study guidelines section to Clinical practice guideline is certainly a reasonable idea. However, they are brief and should still remain in the Cochrane article with a link in the Cochrane article to your work at the Clinical practice guideline article and the Evidence-based medicine since they serve to briefly explain the concepts for the Cochrane Collaboration. I will put the links in now. You can copy and use what you think is appropriate of course --Thomas Simmons 19:12, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Pericarditis

Hi Dr Badgett, I just added subpages to Pericarditis. Would you care to check the categories? Aleta Curry 00:31, 22 October 2007 (CDT)

Thanks. I do not yet have a feel for what the subpages add over just adding the same content as sections in the article. Is there information somewhere on subpages?Robert Badgett 00:58, 22 October 2007 (CDT)

Hi again. Okay, the subpages are for information related to the main article that you wouldn't want in the actual text of the article, and the article and its subpages is called a cluster. So, at a minimum, you'd probably have a bibliography subpage and a related articles subpage.

So, when I did garden, subpages are "related articles" (flower, tree) and subpage biliography (What Flower is That?, Gardening Australia Magazine), and subpage catalogs.

Yes, there is information and I'll try to find where it is, but I'm really bad at that. If I can't find the link, I'll ask Matt or Stephen

You can also click in the boxes all the way at the left, second box down, "Communication", then follow the link to the forums, where all the chat goes on. We've had some looong subpages discussions there.

Aleta Curry 01:35, 22 October 2007 (CDT)

Image

Hi Robert. Say, what's the situation with Image:Materson_et_al._NEJM_1994._PMID_8177286.jpg? Are you the creator of that? Or who is the copyright holder? Is is it really licensed under a Creative Commons license? How do we know that? Kindly let me know. We need to make sure all images are in the clear or do what it takes to get them in the clear. Let me know if you need help. Stephen Ewen 03:00, 25 October 2007 (CDT)

I created the image based on text in the article based on data in the original article (PMID 8446138) and the followup correction letter (PMID 8177286). I thought http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ was a good license. To me, basic scholarship always specifies sources. Is this not a good license? Thanks Robert Badgett 09:02, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
