WNK4
Hi. Concerning this edit to the WNK4 article, what was inaccurate about the data? The citations that you originally provided seem to support the text that you added and then deleted. Furthermore the citations as far as I can tell have not been retracted. So I am a little puzzled by your latest edit. If you could provide a little more explanation of why the data is inaccurate, I would appreciate it. Cheers. Boghog2 (talk) 08:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I thought I had also erased the citations, sorry about that. Well, I went on and checked the articles and the function of WNK4 as a molecular switch is yet to be elucidated. WNK4 does inhibit NCC function and apparently releases the inhibition in the presence of Angiotensin II, but I think that the rest of the data was a bit conjectural based solely on these two pieces of information. I hope this clears things up a bit more. All the best. Juanpablo031425 (talk) 03:16, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. When I was referring to retracted citations, what I meant was retraction of the article in the journal that published the article, not in Wikipedia.  I reverted your edit to restore the deleted text and citations.  What is required for inclusion into a Wikipedia article is not absolute proof, but rather support by reliable sources. There is nothing wrong with including a published conjecture as long as it is made clear that this is conjecture and as long as the text does not overstate or over interpret what was presented in the publication. I have made some further edits that hopefully make clear that the role of WNK4 as a molecular switch is a proposal.  Feel free to edit further.  Cheers.  Boghog2 (talk) 15:22, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
