Famous People

What exactly does the Famous People sections in this article intend to convey ? Also are the words "argomegalous" and "acrogmegaly" typos of acromegaly (which is gigantism)? I think the Famous People section looks more like a spoof than any real information. 203.200.40.194 (talk) 05:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it seems to have been removed in the meantime. EvM-Susana (talk) 07:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New categorization

Hi User:FrozenMan, I like your restructuring of this article. However, what appears now under "other" doesn't really fit as "other" is not a type of pathogen? Waterborne diseases could be caused by a range of pathogen types? I think we need to tidy this up somehow, perhaps move it to a new section? EvMsmile (talk) 11:53, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
