Metformin FA push?

Well, you've been conspicuously absent from the article :) Here is a discussion that could use your input, and here is a workspace where I'm hoping to get more people involved. Best as always, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, I'm conspicuously absent from all of Wikipedia. Have a bit of a writers' block. Let me know if I can address particular issues, which is easiest for me. JFW | T@lk 12:38, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing much, just planning a general expansion and some source improvements. On a completely unrelated note, did you manage to get a copy of this paper? Ecallantide was just approved in the US and I'd like to expand the article for DYK. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:03, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Never got that paper. Perhaps the Dyax PR department will help here. JFW | T@lk 22:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template generates a link?

Please explain what you mean. I see no link to click on in the Sontag reference in the GERD article. If there's some obscure way to access the article, that serves no purpose, unless one wants to prevent people from seeing it. --Jonathan108 (talk) 02:36, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, mea culpa. I think I can see where we went wrong. The PMC identifier had been put under the wrong tag (PMCID= rather than pmc=) and was therefore not being parsed into the template. All sorted now. JFW | T@lk 12:32, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merci beaucoup! --Jonathan108 (talk) 18:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Hey JFD Diabetes mellitus get lots of IP vandalism. Can we protect it? Thanks Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes we can. JFW | T@lk 21:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection, the vandalism is actually quite mild (1x/day for a fairly popular topic). I think we should monitor it for the time being. JFW | T@lk 21:53, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coeliac Disease

Hi JFW, I didn't want to clutter up the Update Tracker section, but I wanted to thank you for the effort you're putting into the Coeliac Disease article. I've long thought it could use some re-working, but don't have anywhere close to the medical knowledge required to contribute meaningfully. I think you're probably a better writer than I am from what I've seen, but I will follow your changes and do any WikiGnome type work that I happen to spot. Thanks again! —RobinHood70 (talkcontribs) 23:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the thumbs-up mate. I took coeliac to FA in 2007 with the help of a couple of exceptional Wikipedians (such as Colin and Samir). My current effort is simply aimed at reducing accumulated crud from 2.5 years, and trying to replace "bad" sources with MEDRS-compliant ones. In other words, I'd like to pre-empt SandyGeorgia from sending it into quarantaine. I am very open to any ideas you might have about its content and structure.
