Paul Kagame
Thanks very much for the copy edit of Paul Kagame and for your kind words about the article. You mentioned in your comment that "the citations still need work". I was wondering what you meant by that? Thanks &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey. Sorry it's a bit late, but thank you for looking over Sense and Sensibility (2008 TV miniseries) and correcting the grammar mistakes. :) - JuneGloom    Talk  14:21, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors requests
Hi, Ashley, and thanks so much for your help with the request list (which is always busting at the seams :-)). I have a question, though, about Middle Eastern Mental Health Issues & Syndromes. Did you finish copyediting it (I wasn't sure from your comment)? We have two useful tags for request-list articles (and other things):

and ✅

which are unequivocal. Please tag the above-mentioned article with ✅ if it's ready for archiving. We're only responsible for copyediting; citations and what-not are the purview of the author(s) of the article. Thanks again and all the best,  Mini  apolis  23:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Removal of Orphan tags
Hi Ashleyleia! Thanks for all your copy editing work! But why are you removing orphan tags from articles? Per Orphan, an orphan is an article with no incoming links from other articles, so e.g. Elobixibat and Linear-on-the-fly testing (any many others) should have this tag. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Great job!
Great job with Psychotic depression! However, I don't quite understand this sentence in the section Pathophysiology:

"This abnormality is suggested by greater non-suppression on the dexamethasone suppression test, with higher post-dexamethasone cortisol levels."

Could you please clarify? With friendly regards,  Lova Falk     talk   11:08, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I've reworded it, so I hope that helps. If not, let me know, and I'll add some further explanation. Ashleyleia (talk) 14:32, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ashleyleia, it is better this way, but I still have a question. Do I understand correctly that "(i.e. lower cortisol suppression)" means the following: "that is, an over-activated HPA-axis results in a lower cortisol suppression."?    Lova Falk     talk   07:15, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, good point. That sentence was a combo of previous unreferenced material and material from the reference I have, so I have tightened it up to better reflect the reference I've used: "The HPA axis appears to be dysregulated in psychotic depression, with dexamethasone suppression tests demonstrating higher levels of cortisol following dexamethasone administration (i.e. lower cortisol suppression)." Ashleyleia (talk) 01:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Now I understand. Face-smile.svg  Lova Falk     talk   15:04, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Source
Hi again Ashleyleia! In your edit to Histrionic personality disorder you did more than just changed a list to prose, but you also stated something new, namely that the other diagnoses should be ruled out before making a diagnosis of HPD. Now, I think that you are correct, yet this still requires a source. If you have one, it would be good if you could add it. (I am aware there was no source to begin with.) Kind regards and keep up the good editing! Lova Falk    talk   15:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning links
You cleaned links on American Medical Association‎. Thanks for doing this.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   19:58, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi again Ashleyleia! Good job rewriting Schizoaffective_disorder section of Schizoaffective_disorder! However, you repeatedly use as your source, without providing any text. Could you please make this source complete? With friendly regards! Lova Falk    talk   11:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. Thanks for point that out. Ashleyleia (talk) 14:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi once more!
And hi once more Ashleyleia. I hope you don't mind all my comments. I think you're doing a great job, and the things I notice are just details. But here's one more detail, again in Schizoaffective disorder. As far as I can see, you wrote:

"There is no single antipsychotic of choice in treating schizoaffective disorder, but atypical antipsychotics should be given that they have mood-stabilizing activity."

Now this is not quite correct grammatically. I changed it into: ... but atypical antipsychotics should be given because they have mood-stabilizing activity.

However, I am not sure if that is what the source says. I couldn't find it in the best practice source. Could you check and remove the verification needed tag? (Or change the text if necessary). With friendly regards! Lova Falk    talk   14:18, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!
Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.
 * Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with   with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
 * You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
 * We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
 * Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
 * Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.

Thank you for being one of Wikipedia's top medical contributors!

 * please help translate this message into the local language

We are wondering about the educational background of our top medical editors. Would you please complete a quick 5-question survey? (please only fill this out if you received the award)

Thanks again :) --Ocaasi, Doc James and the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
