Assignment # 3
Hello, we are a group of medical students editing this page as part of our class assignment. We have compiled a list of suggestions to improve this article and would appreciate community feedback before we proceed with these edits. Here is a list of our suggestions:

We propose to update the second paragraph in the signs and symptoms section with more in depth information and rearrangement of previous text to fit the added timeline. We also included additional hyperlinks. The edited paragraph is as follows:

Early symptoms of heat stroke include behavioral changes, confusion, delirium, dizziness, weakness, agitation, combativeness, slurred speech, nausea, and vomiting. In some individuals suffering from exertional heatstroke, seizures and sphincter incontinence have also been reported.

Rationale for proposed change: Clearer distinction between early and late signs/symptoms, also more wikilinks.

Additionally, in exertional heat stroke, the affected person may sweat excessively. If treatment is delayed, patients could develop vital organ damage, unconsciousness and even organ failure. In the absence of prompt and adequate treatment, heatstroke can be fatal.

Rationale for proposed change: Clearer flow, implied timeline of heatstroke progression and severity.

What to post on the Wikipedia article talk page?

 * This will also be covered on Nov 23rd in class. Your group should use the below template to share an outline of your proposed improvements (including your new wording and citations). Article talk pages are not places to share your assignment answers. The Wikipedia community will be more interested in viewing your exact article improvement suggestions including where you plan to improve the article (which section), what wording you suggest, and the exact citation (Note: all citations must meet WP:MEDRS)
 * You will not be able to paste citations directly from your sandbox to talk pages (unless you are interested in editing/learning Wiki-code in the "source editing" mode). We suggest re-adding your citations on the talk page manually (using the cite button and populating the citation by pasting in the DOI, website, or PMID). You will have to repeat this process yet again when you edit the actual article live.
