[edit] Welcome!

Greetings Wanderingpistachio and welcome to Wikipedia! I saw your edit to Village Pump (Technical) and took a look at all your edits. I have some comments:

1. In Papillary thyroid cancer you made a very major change, from "poor prognosis" to "good prognosis" here. This may well be true and hopefully is, but to make such a change you need to supply a reference or at least discuss the reason for your change on the article talk page. I'm going to reverse your change for now and I hope you can add it again after proving it's true.
2. You added a link to Talk:Adenylate cyclase here. This is not quite the right way to do things, you should put new discussion at the bottom of the talk page where everyone can see it (click the "+" button to add a new section) also rather than explain only in the edit summary, you should put your explanation right on the page along with the link, otherwise it just sits there by itself and no-one will pay attention. I moved your link down to a new section on the Talk page.
3. You posted here to Village Pump asking about the Procaine article and you said that the article mentioned that "Procaine is a vasoconstrictor, but actually it's a vasodilator". I've looked at the article and I don't see any place where it says that Procaine is a vasoconstrictor. Are you sure that's what you saw? I'd be happy to research and fix the article but I don't see anything wrong with it. :)

Thanks for your contributions and I hope you stick around! Remember that you can always make your own Sandbox on your User page and you can experiment there to your hearts content to get things looking the way you want them. Regards... Franamax (talk) 02:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
