Happy editing!

Thanks for your edits on the SOD1 page. Is there a reliable 3rd party source about the tempol info you added, e.g. a listing on clinical trials.gov or a press release? Linking to the Mitos.com website isn't quite right because although you can find that information off of the main page, it's not actually right there on the link. Also check out the policy on external links WP:EL or references WP:REF which contain some helpful guidance. Best wishes, --PaulWicks (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you are quick on the trigger. Your message showed only 30 seconds or so after my edit. Yes, I know the rules, etc.. A check will show that I have been here for a long time, if recently only as an occasional IP number. Right now, I am flying thru mostly textual/syntax edits. The few times I even mention something material, it is with the intent of coming back and providing further references ASAP.

Gentle chide-- On the principle of "He who complains about the food gets to cook"<grin> : you can easily extract the cites from the www.mitospharma.com website yourself. Or do "tempol" and "radiation" on www.pubmed.gov . Always appreciate assistance and saves me the trouble of coming back and doing it myself. Thanks on the front-end.

Indeed - but I'm not the kind of scientist who understands that stuff reliably enough to want to make edits in that space. They don't let neuropsychologists loose with petrie dishes, pipettes, scalpels, or drugs, and with good reason! --PaulWicks (talk) 13:53, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
