[edit] Retinal atrophy

I'm not sure that this project is still active, but if anyone's home: The first sentence of Lattice degeneration links to Retinal atrophy, which automatically redirects to Progressive retinal atrophy, which is apparently a disease found in dogs. Is this a reasonable redirect? Should the Lattice degeneration article link to something else? WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Fixed & clarified. Retinal atrophy is found in dogs as well as humans, and probably in other animals too. Thanks for bringing this to attention. EyeMD T|C 16:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should this discussion page be archived?

This talk page has gotten cumbersome. Many of the topics are now resolved. Should old/resolved topics be moved to an archive page? (This might preserve the topics slightly better than deleting them since it would place them in an archive rather than just in the edit history.)

Another alternative would be to collapse headers of the sections that are resolved.

I'm willing to set up either the archive or collapsing of the old topics. I'll wait for a response to this post or on my talk page. I'd like to hear from EyeMD or AED since they represent the majority of posts to this page. Garvin Talk 01:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Neither of those people appear to be active editors any longer, so I don't think you should expect a response from them.
Have you considered having the project merged back into its parent, as an alternative to merely archiving this page? This was recently done for two other projects under WP:MED, and there was talk of re-absorbing some of these 'dead' projects as task forces. (Apparently that process involves moving a few project pages and changing all of the {{OphthoWikiProject}} tags on talk pages to tags that say {{WPMED|eye=yes}}, or something like that. It looks like there's about 100 tagged pages, so this shouldn't be too awful. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I agree with the archiving for obsolete talk items. Good to be back here :-) EyeMD T|C 20:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
I've archived all 2006-2007 items (see link in the archive box). Hope that helps. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
