Disambiguation link notification for November 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Endoscopic endonasal surgery, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dens and Clivus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Self Introduction
My name is John Lukas "Luke" Edwards, and I am a Biomedical Engineering student at Georgia Tech.

Response to Questions
Sorry about the username error, I'm not sure why nothing was showing when I was checking your page. I looked at the revision history and it was there, so I updated your credit.

In terms of fluff, I just mean extra wordy sentences. If a word is not necessary for complete understanding of the sentence, don't use it.

Example: "The problem with some of the suprasellar tumors are that they start to invade the chiasmatic cistern, which leads to impaired vision"

Could be more concisely worded as: "Some suprasellar tumors invade the chiasmatic cistern, resulting in impaired vision"

Or "The common types of problems include:" as just "Common problems include:"

This is supposed to be encyclopedic. People read them (well, wikipedia now) to answer some very specific question they have (what is X, who is Y, etc...) Extra words make it a lot easier for readers to get lost in the text and miss the facts they were looking for.

Think of it like a lab report not a writing piece (coincidentally, you are essentially just reviewing a bunch of lab reports).

You've obviously put a lot of work into it, just a little refinement would go a long way. It would be a shame if people got a paragraph into it and closed the page because they were reading in circles.

Good luck. --Alec DeFilippo (talk) 04:08, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
