Medical articles
Thank you for your interest in editing on medical topics. I'd suggest you check out wp:WikiProject Medicine. We're a bit fussier than other projects on sourcing for various reasons. wp:MEDRS provides details. Note that we consider secondary sources to be review articles in peer-reviewed journals, while we treat original results as primary sources to be avoided or used with due caution.

Inflammation
Dwimble, welcome to Wikipedia, it looks like you have a number of medical interests. I am concerned by n number of statements on your website that lead me to believe that your edits to articles such as ALS or Alzheimer's disease are attempting to promote an agenda which is contrary to the rules at Wikipedia, especially "No Original Research" WP:NOR. The particular section of relevance is "Synthesis of published material that advances a position". On this basis I am removing your edits on inflammation and will advise other WP:MED editors to offer their advice and input. Best wishes, --PaulWicks (talk) 12:19, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Concerns
Hello David, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry you seem to have a hard time getting your edits accepted by other editors. I think there are a few points that you might need to be aware of that will hopefully make things a bit easier in the future.
 * For medicine articles we are quite strict about the kind of source that is suitable for supporting content. The principles are outlined in a guideline called WP:MEDRS. Ideally, a concept that has not been discussed in a recent high-quality review article or textbook chapter is probably not ripe for discussion in an encyclopedia article. One needs to be cautious in overstating recent discoveries.
 * You have added references to a book that you have written. It seems to be self-published. Even if your motives are noble, there is a significant risk that this will be regarded as self-promotion. This may be less of a problem if you can demonstrate that important independent sources confirm that it is a reliable source.
 * In general, can I strongly advise you to assume good faith when other editors remove or criticise your contributions?

Please let me know if you have any further questions. JFW &#124; T@lk  00:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
