User talk:Rory 20 uk

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for all the work you're doing on medical articles. You might be interested to know there's a noticeboard where editors discuss medical content, and where you can ask for/offer help and advice about editing: WT:MED. Also, can I recommend reading WP:MEDRS? It's the guideline that governs the type of sources recommended for supporting medical content. Content that cites a suitable source is far more likely to remain in an article than un-sourced content. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 10:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello Rory, and welcome. I agree with Anthony that it would be useful if you had a look at MEDRS and MEDMOS. Your additions are much appreciated. I have made some changes to your additions to ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and heart failure. Have a look at what I've done. JFW &#124; T@lk  12:47, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Carboxymaltose
Hi Rory, I have deleted this page for the time being after you blanked it. Please feel free though to recreate it with some text explaining the subject. It looks significant and notable enough to have a page of its own. Regards, De728631 (talk) 14:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Anaphylaxis entry.
I explained why I removed the text regarding those with atopy are not at increased risk of reactions - as they have been found to cause them in several cases - such as those with dextrans. Did you not see it in the comments next to the edit?

 * Yes certainly. However the reference in question does support the text in question. And we do not use primary sources to refute secondary ones per WP:MEDRS. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way this is only specifically in people with atopy. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Anaemia in crohn and ulcerative colitis
I moved your addition of "anaemia" from Template:Symptoms in CD vs. UC to Inflammatory_bowel_disease, because it seems to be a common finding in both condition rather than a distinguishing feature. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:10, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Citation expander
Hi Rory, thanks for your edits to Upper gastrointestinal bleeding. I've standardised the format of the reference you added using cite journal. I do this by typing (or perhaps using the PMID) and then letting the citation expander do the rest. Other tools are listed at Help:Citation tools. Graham 87 03:53, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
