Migraine journal
You wiped out the initial beginnings of this article (which was merely a start, but not yet a full and complete treatment of the topic) and redirected to "Migraine" entry. The topic deserves its own entry. The "migraine" entry is already too bloated to be readable. Many migraine sufferers are interested in pointers and references on how to keep migraine journals, and additional material will be added. Putting this on the migraine page would not make sense. In general, interventions receive separate pages from discussions of disorders. For example, the topic of Allergies does not contain all the discussion of antihistamines, allergy shots, HEPA vacuum cleaners and so forth. So will you please just back off a few weeks to see how this entry takes shape before aborting it? Sheesh... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myheadhurtsbadd (talk • contribs) 14:21, 14 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Try writing the article on a userspace sub-page, such as User:Myheadhurtsbadd/Migraine journal. Be sure to include verifiable sources from specialists in the field, not just blogs or about.com mini-entries by people who have no expertise at all. Place   at the top of the page so it's not mistaken for a real article. When you think it's ready for publication, ask other, experienced editors to review it first. Then and only then should it be moved to article space. What you had before failed on so many levels that it couldn't be kept around. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 14:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, good suggestion. As far as proposed changes to content, that's roughly what I was already planning to do over the next few weeks.  But how do I find these "other, experienced editors to review it first"?


 * Peer review is a good place to start. You might also ask at the WP:Help desk - they're always ready to steer users in the right direction. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 16:10, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
