References

i noticed problems in the References list, beginning with #36. i was glancing through the list, and that one caught my eye, because of its length. i didn't quite understand it, and finally just did a search for "doi:10.1053/cp.1999.v66.103277001." that took me to this page: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/13411301_Ticlopidine-Induced_Phenytoin_Toxicity the article apparently referenced in the text of #36 here was the 2nd item in the References and/or Cited In list at the above link. that led to the following page, which is only an abstract of the article (which is all that is currently available online): http://www.researchgate.net/publication/51359431_Ticlopidine_inhibits_phenytoin_clearance

references after #36...some of them seemed strange, but maybe it was simply that they aren't formatted well. i didn't notice anything 'wrong' with earlier references unless maybe it was very minor punctuation things (nothing that really jumped out at me).

i don't know how to edit a Reference List here, and, anyway, it probably should be done by someone with more experience with medical sources acceptable to WP.Colbey84 (talk) 03:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
