Dear Jeffrey,

Thanks for your interest in editing the ALS article. It looks like you've had your account for a while so it should allow you to make edits despite being semi-protected. Try making a small edit and see if it works? All the best --PaulWicks (talk) 13:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Greetings from WikiProject Medicine!

Welcome to WikiProject Medicine!

I noticed you recently added yourself to our Participants' list, and I wanted to welcome you to our project. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration on medicine-related articles, and everyone is welcome to join (regardless of medical qualifications!). Here are some suggested activities:

• Read our Manual of Style for medical articles and guide to Reliable medical sources
• Join in editing our collaboration of the week (the current one is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
• Discuss with other members in the doctor's mess
• Have a look at some related WikiProjects
• Have a look at the collaboration dashboard

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, or feel free to ask me on my talk page.

Again, welcome!  --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 13:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

• Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
• Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
• If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Please comment on Talk:Epilepsy

Hi there! I see you are a member of the WikiProject Medicine and a neurologist. There is some disagreement between editors with regard to the article on epilepsy, in particular if we should have a separate section "mechanism" there. Some arguments have been made (summary: [1]). An RfC did not really help, because it is unclear what the "mechanism" is supposed to be at all, since (unlike other diseases) there are a variety of causes of epilepsy. An outline for content on the issue has been made [2] but not yet agreed on. Possibly you could have a look there. Jophiel 15:15, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
