This

This was a terribly written article. I've fixed it somewhat, but it still needs a lot of work. Russthomas1515 (talk) 11:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC

I agree. I've added numerous revisions. I've removed irrelevant information and attempted to standardize the grammar and tense of the article. One glaring omission, in my opinion, is a "Prognosis" section. I do not possess the necessary medical knowledge to complete this section. Gavteronic (talk) 11:36, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bone pain in children

Does Bone pain in children warrant its own article or should it be merged into this one? PDCook (talk) 16:23, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The current information on the children article right now would make a nice add-on to Bone pain article...I would opt for a merge. Renaissancee (talk) 19:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that Bone pain in children should remain separate, though it should probably be included in the see also section of this article. Immunize (talk) 00:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why you think it should remain as a stand-alone article. Neither article is overly lengthy, and I don't see why the content should be spread over multiple articles. I have seen no indication that bone pain in children is any more notable than bone pain in general. PDCook (talk) 00:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as the bone pain in children article is short and improperly structured with not very much information, I support the two being merged. I think that it deserves its own section within the bone pain article, but not its own article completely. Tyrol5 [Talk] 20:14, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge -- no reason to have two separate articles here. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 01:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be consensus for the merge (see also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#A_couple_of_merge_proposals_folks_might_want_to_disucss. If no one takes action on the merge (or as long as there are no substantive objections), I'll go ahead and do it in a day or two. PDCook (talk) 16:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. PDCook (talk) 03:59, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
