[edit] Parkinson's

Thanks for improving Parkinson's disease. I have marked your new paragraphs with {{cn}} (which displays as [citation needed]). The reason is that we should really have reliable sources supporting your statements, especially when you refer directly to a randomised double-blind controlled trial. But I agree that the stem cell trials should be mentioned (including the controversial use of sham surgery in the control group!)

Please be aware the the Parkinson's article has a history of a very opinionated and abusive editor inserting highly doubtful claims. This editor has now been banned, but I felt you should be warned that every edit to the Parkinson's article is watched very closely by at least 10 other editors... But don't let this worry you.

Thanks for that. Are you sure the second reference is complete? JFW | T@lk 17:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain the nauture of the COI - of course I will refrain from adding content if there is a COI. Touch is a publisher - when I see a primary publication which shows something unique I have been adding this to Wikipedia - it doesn't promote but will inform. The sites which I add from are TouchCardiology, TouchNeurology, TouchOncology, TouchRespiratory, TouchGastro and TouchEndocrine. I see there that is reference to Adsense - is this not allowed to be on a page which is added as a reference? If you could provide me with details that would be helpful - because if you look at my additions they have, I hope, only added to the Wiki pages. Regards Mergneed 16:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
