COI and CSD
Okay, I've made edits and changed the wording of the content so it should no longer match content on www.bcmj.org. I've also changed my username (as somebody advised me at some point on my bcmedicaljournal account) to tarakathleen. I couldn't figure out how to change the username on the account, so I made a new account (per one recommendation on the help page). The new account is not a "sock puppet" (as someone else suggested). I hope these changes bring the article into compliance, and that the speedy removal warning can be taken down soon. Please let me know if there are any other issues.

I think the speedy deletion notice can be taken down now, so I'll do so. The writing probably needs a few more thorough revisions, but I'm sure the author will do that. I'll also help with some of the revisions. --RabidMonkeysEatGrass 23:33, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Revisions
Looks much better, as I can appreciate you desire to contribute, I would suggest you give WP:COI a read over. Once we add some categories and projects you may find some more help. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 00:12, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

info box
I added the template to the article I filled what info I could pull from the article, but it could use some more. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 18:43, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info box and the advice. I'll look at what additional information I can add to the info box. I tried hard to maintain a neutral tone--I did read the conflict of interest page before getting started, and did my best to follow the guidelines. I have to say, I never knew there'd be so much to read and know about Wikipedia when I started this project. T. Tarakathleen (talk) 02:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Journal Name
Davewild: The official publication name of the journal is the British Columbia Medical Journal. The publication name on the header of the print publication is an abbreviation for design purposes. T. Tarakathleen (talk) 17:44, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Davewild: Can you please change the name on the article back to British Columbia Medical Journal and fix the redirects? I can't seem to change the title. Thanks... T. Tarakathleen (talk) 17:51, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * This may be best if you ask him on his talk page - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 17:59, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the move per request by Crusio, it is obviously not an uncontroversial move so I have reverted msyelf and if any future move is proposed, suggest consensus is reached here before a request is made for the move. Davewild (talk) 19:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * As Dave says, I initiated this move, apologies if that was wrong. I came to the conclusion that this was the correct name because the journals database of PubMed indicates that "BC Medical Journal" is the successor of "British Columbia Medical Journal" and the journal's website uses "BC" in the browser tab header and in the logo (upper left corner). However, I now see in the history section that they use BC and British Columbia intercnahgeably, so things are perhaps a bit less clear. --Crusio (talk) 08:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
