Have some FUN

When editing and discussing get frustrating or boring, have a bit of fun. Pluma created a fun stuff page for his adoptees. Anyone can explore and use his instructions to help build their User page in Wikipedia. Cheers, DocTree (talk) 21:34, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Apert Syndrome

Hi Tweissberg, it is generally best to cite medical journals, as noted at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). The Seattle Children's Hospital link could be used as a reliable source, as it's a document by a major, well-established institution. However when an article says that "the largest study" shows the prevalence of a condition, there is generally no reason to change it unless a newer, larger/more comprehensive study has come to a different conclusion or there was something seriously wrong with the original study. Admittedly I don't know anything at all about Apert syndrome, and only have the article on my watchlist to combat vandalism. A good place to get help on medical articles is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine.

Also please sign your messages with four tildes like this: "~~~~" so Wikipedia editors can easily tell who said what. Graham87 00:52, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apert Syndrome

Regarding your post on my talk page, I have, in response, made this edit, so the article now directly deals with the issue, providing a survey of the information found in reliable sources on the incidence rate. By the way, I have never had anyone give me a barnstar before and then retract it. I really don't mind and I think the cause may have been because it wasn't formatting properly, with all of the rest of your post appearing inside of it but try not to make a practice of that, especially with real life gifts:-)--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:47, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Fuhghettaboutit; I think that edit neatly solved the problem. Nice work! Graham87 17:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime. Wouldn't it be great of all of Wikipedia's problems could be solved so easily? By the way, Graham, I have an unrelated question for you, but I'll take it to your talk page.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 17:20, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
