Your edits to asthma
Hi,

I removed your paragraph on asthma due to several concerns:
 * 1) Lack of reviews and reliance on primary sources to support your claims.
 * 2) Advertising a biopharmaceutical company.
 * 3) Lack of context.

I feel that this doesn't belong in the article per WP:UNDUE.

 * Dear Dogdocdvm,


 * my concern is not more citations, it is citations from review articles instead of experiments. Cats aren't the only model for asthma as far as I know. We could perhaps have a small section on animal models; in that case, the correct sources would be a review of animal asthma models in which the feline model is discussed.


 * You mention that your edit might "benefit to the scientific community". Please note that Wikipedia is written for a general audience and not for the scientific community.

WikiProject Veterinary medicine
Hi Dogdocdvm,

Welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to join WikiProject Veterinary medicine, a small group of vets and other people interested in working on articles related to veterinary medicine. It's a quiet group, but I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from another person. You can say hello on the group's talk page, add your name at WP:VET, or click the 'watch' tab to add it to your watchlist.

Also, there's another WikiProject dedicated to dogs, which you'll find here; I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from another interested person as well. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
