Thanks for your work on Peter Snow (doctor). The original awkward phrasing was my work, and your revision is much better. You might be like to take a look at WikiProject Medicine for other articles of interest. Thanks again.

[edit] CFS

Pretty good edits on chronic fatigue syndrome. You seem to have access to good sources. At the moment the article is gradually improving, and your help is appreciated. Perhaps you could help decide which material is excessive/redundant, because it is now rather large.

Please have a look at {{cite journal}}, {{cite web}} and {{cite news}}. These are standardised reference templates that make it easier to generate refs. Generally, a full URL to PubMed is unnecessary if - in the "id=" field of {{cite journal}} you simply add PMID followed by the identifier. The Wiki automatically converts this to a PubMed abstract link. This applet will actually - on supply of the PMID code - generate the entire reference in a template.

Let me know if you need any further assistance! JFW | T@lk 10:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm in agreement. I nearly cried when I read your edits (OK, maybe not, but I was happy). I've never seen you edit before, so I was a bit skeptical. Then I saw what you wrote. Just a small counter to JFW, I would use pmid= instead of id=. I have found that id= may not get the PMID correct. But it might be better now. Contribute all you want to medical articles and help us keep the garbage alternative medicine out of these articles. Thanks again. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 17:06, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dead discussion

Note that your reply was to a discussion that ceased in November, and early november at that. If you think the issues are still relevant, you might be better served through starting a new section. WLU (talk) 14:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CFS and post exertional symptoms

Hi MEspringal, I essentially agree with what you have been saying, so I want to explain the context of my comments relating to the evidence of post-exertional symptoms in CFS. I posted the text on the talkpage: [2] - Tekaphor (talk) 09:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
