 * Comments

This will be quite harsh because this is no where near ready for GA nomination or FAC. I suggest you do more editing than swapping two words and adding a single reference line (incorrectly I might add, as instead of one reference appearing in your "References" section, it appears multiple times). It also took me about 3 seconds to notice that your "jgames" website has its information TAKEN from the wikipedia article you are editing. How can it be that you are citing yourself? If this is not a form of plagarism it is certainly unethical and a poor attempt to "cheat" the system. That being said, I suggest you fix the following:
 * Fix your reference - you cannot cite your own work.
 * Find out how to list an inline citation multiple times for one reference (Footnotes}
 * "It is common in young adults, especially soccer players, cyclists, rowers, tennis players, ballet dancers, horseback riders, and runners." -- Reference please?
 * Don't use inline citations in the middle of sentences unless it is required (author's name etc.) -- they tend to go at the end
 * I don't see a single line that defines RICE in this reference
 * Try to get rid of the "External links" section
 * This is a medical journal, not a website and should be cited as such
 * Also, I see nothing that supports your claim in the abstract and, as a general rule of thumb, you do not link to abstracts of a medical journal -- only the full journal article (if available). Please use PubMed

Overall, this article needs a lot of work but it is do-able. FoodPuma 23:15, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments on references - (this version)
 * All of them except for 3,5 and 8 need to be replaced.
 * Jgames is a mirror of Wikipedia...you can't use copied text to cite the original text, pal...
 * Mayo Clinic is in the references section, but where do you use that in the article? Use an in-line citation please. — Ed   17  (Talk /  Contribs)  23:45, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
