Undo incorrect information. Probably malicious[edit]

An IP address editor reclassified ringworm as a type of nematode. Very funny :) Undid change. ModestMouse2 (Talk) 14:39, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Unsure on some content[edit]

bla bla bla70.50.134.167 (talk) 20:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC), but I believe Terbinafine is the active ingredient in Lamasil so I am not sure why both are mentioned. 78.86.195.116 (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

You are correct! Lamasil has been removed as being redundant. SBHarris 09:54, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Ringworm[edit]

Ringworm should not redirect here, it should rather redirect to: Tinea_corporis which is the specific sub species people usually call ringworm. That article already has a link back to this article for general dermatophytosis.(Jpvosloo (talk) 20:04, 15 November 2010 (UTC))

Incorrect distinguishing links[edit]

Though the terms Roundworm and Pinworm are commonly used, they do not reflect the actual article titles. The articles are Nematode and Enterobius, respectively. Perhaps correct the link to eliminate the redirect and avoid confusion?

Edit request on 14 June 2012[edit]

"It has been estimated that currently up to twenty percent of the population may be infected by ringworm or one of the other dermatophytoses."

...I've seen numbers all over the place with this estimation. The following sentance has a reference, but it doesn't include this statistic. It would be nice to have a source for this 20% figure.

Please note, only use the template for changes TO THE PAGE. We can't go around looking for sources Mdann52 (talk) 16:17, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Well, duh, the obvious addition to the page would be to add a [citation needed] template at the appropriate spot, which I have now done. SBHarris 17:26, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Separate page for cattle disease ?[edit]
