Change of name of ITP
Hi, In you changed the name at the top of the article and cited a 2009 agreement. A) The name of the article should match the name of the illness, so we either need to move it again or change the name back and B) that study's naming convention doesn't appear to have been kept (outside of the journal Blood, it's fairly rare I think, NIH etc. don't use it), but I'm not sure where to go with it. Thoughts? Hobit (talk) 15:19, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I see what you're saying. Based on PubMed there is pretty clear evidence that Immune Thrombocytopenia has largely replaced Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura in the formal biomedical literature. E.g., In the publication years of 2014-2016 Immune Thrombocytopenia was used in the article title 386 times, whereas Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura was used 87 times. I would favour the idea that Wikipedia leads rather than waits for everyone to catch up, especially when an international consensus group has published such a clear recommendation. But I am not a wiki expert and are happy to defer to Wiki conventions. Ian.morison (talk) 04:24, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gilbert's syndrome, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Genetic variant. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
