Paul Kagame

Thanks very much for the copy edit of Paul Kagame and for your kind words about the article. You mentioned in your comment that "the citations still need work". I was wondering what you meant by that? Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 10:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hey. Sorry it's a bit late, but thank you for looking over Sense and Sensibility (2008 TV miniseries) and correcting the grammar mistakes. :) - JuneGloom Talk 14:21, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guild of Copy Editors requests

Hi, Ashley, and thanks so much for your help with the request list (which is always busting at the seams :-)). I have a question, though, about Middle Eastern Mental Health Issues & Syndromes. Did you finish copyediting it (I wasn't sure from your comment)? We have two useful tags for request-list articles (and other things):

Working and
Done

which are unequivocal. Please tag the above-mentioned article with Done if it's ready for archiving. We're only responsible for copyediting; citations and what-not are the purview of the author(s) of the article. Thanks again and all the best, Miniapolis 23:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Orphan tags

Hi Ashleyleia! Thanks for all your copy editing work! But why are you removing {{orphan}} tags from articles? Per Wikipedia:Orphan, an orphan is an article with no incoming links from other articles, so e.g. Elobixibat and Linear-on-the-fly testing (any many others) should have this tag. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great job!

Great job with Psychotic depression!

However, I don't quite understand this sentence in the section Pathophysiology:

"This abnormality is suggested by greater non-suppression on the dexamethasone suppression test, with higher post-dexamethasone cortisol levels."

Could you please clarify? With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 11:08, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworded it, so I hope that helps. If not, let me know, and I'll add some further explanation. Ashleyleia (talk) 14:32, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Ashleyleia, it is better this way, but I still have a question. Do I understand correctly that "(i.e. lower cortisol suppression)" means the following: "that is, an over-activated HPA-axis results in a lower cortisol suppression."? Lova Falk talk 07:15, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, good point. That sentence was a combo of previous unreferenced material and material from the reference I have, so I have tightened it up to better reflect the reference I've used: "The HPA axis appears to be dysregulated in psychotic depression, with dexamethasone suppression tests demonstrating higher levels of cortisol following dexamethasone administration (i.e. lower cortisol suppression)." Ashleyleia (talk) 01:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now I understand.

Source

Hi again Ashleyleia! In your edit to Histrionic personality disorder you did more than just changed a list to prose, but you also stated something new, namely that the other diagnoses should be ruled out before making a diagnosis of HPD. Now, I think that you are correct, yet this still requires a source. If you have one, it would be good if you could add it. (I am aware there was no source to begin with.) Kind regards and keep up the good editing! Lova Falk talk 15:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning links

You cleaned links on American Medical Association‎. Thanks for doing this. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:58, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stahl

Hi again Ashleyleia! Good job rewriting Schizoaffective_disorder#Management section of Schizoaffective_disorder! However, you repeatedly use <ref name="Stahl"/> as your source, without providing any text. Could you please make this source complete? With friendly regards! Lova Falk talk 11:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for point that out. Ashleyleia (talk) 14:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi once more!

And hi once more Ashleyleia. I hope you don't mind all my comments. I think you're doing a great job, and the things I notice are just details. But here's one more detail, again in Schizoaffective disorder. As far as I can see, you wrote:

"There is no single antipsychotic of choice in treating schizoaffective disorder, but atypical antipsychotics should be given that they have mood-stabilizing activity."

Now this is not quite correct grammatically. I changed it into: ... but atypical antipsychotics should be given because they have mood-stabilizing activity.
However, I am not sure if that is what the source says. I couldn't find it in the best practice source. Could you check and remove the verification needed tag? (Or change the text if necessary). With friendly regards! Lova Falk talk 14:18, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!

Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.

Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.

To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature):

You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. You can also put your suggestions there and discuss the scope of participation.

Hoping for your cooperation! Diptanshu^Talk 12:34, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
