[edit] Hi doc!

Hi Dr Fonseca, I'm thrilled you've joined our ranks and would like to express my admiration for the hard work at multi-infarct dementia. I was wondering if you'd be able to provide some sources, which serves to make the article verifiable.

I've added some after a fashion. I may write it up properly with references, bells and whistles at a later stage. To be honest I just came across the earlier version and thought hey, I can do better, but it was only half-hearted, I confess.JASFonseca 14:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The article on Alzheimer's disease is a bit of a mess, with non-standard interventions accumulating like dust in an NHS hospital :-). Perhaps you could propose some changes on Talk:Alzheimer's disease. I was hoping to update it a while ago with Dennis Selkoe's review in the Ann Intern Med 2003, but nothing came of it.

It is indeed a bit of a mess. I'm willing to have a go at it with you if you wish. The review seems a good starting point.JASFonseca 14:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Please join Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine. There's two dozen doctors hanging out there; we frequently collaborate on articles, several of which have gone on to reach "featured article" status. We also peer-review each other's work. Should you ever need help, I'm an administrator. JFW | T@lk 14:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Done =), thanks for the invite JASFonseca 14:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome... can I also point you at Ganfyd?

http://ganfyd.org is a medical textbook with a slightly more restrictive licence than WP, and restricted edit access to the profession. It uses the same software, and is informed by some of the same ideas and ideals. I don't think it is in competition, rather this is an encyclopaedia and ganfyd is a a professional resource.

Wow, I wasn't aware such a thing even existed. Of course I'll join, expect my GMC certificate tomorrow =) JASFonseca 14:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Erm, actually I noticed I could use my doctors net email account to register so I've done that already =) JASFonseca 19:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey Adrian, we need this specialist for Wikipedia! Don't lure him away please! JFW | T@lk 20:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cognitive reserve

Hello. I think that the general wikification of the article is fine now, you can remove the tag. One suggestion that I do have, is to come up with a good one sentance description of cognitive reserve. This should be the very first sentance of the article. For more information about the lead, check out Wikipedia:Lead section. -- JamesTeterenko 15:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Done! Thanks JASFonseca 16:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi JASFonseca,

This is just an update regarding The Psychology Wiki. We are a lot more organised than we were to begin with, and our community is starting to grow. Remember that Wikipedia also started out small, and we hope that eventually we will be an important community within Psychology. Input from psychiatrists will also be invaluable.

I won't say too much more, as I'd like you to judge it for yourself, but you should find that it is different from Wikipedia, because approximately 90% of our contributors so far are psychologists, either professionals like yourself, academics, or students and trainees.

Its hosted by a company called Wikia, which was founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. There are Google Ads on the site, but we dont make money from the project, they're just to pay for the bandwidth, storage and technical support that Wikia give us.

Have a look and see what you think...
