Hi, Anders Grubb. I wanted to leave you some notes about various policies and guidelines on the English Wikipedia, as it can be trying for scientists and researchers accustomed to journal publications to adapt to the procedures here for encyclopedic medical content, which is a bit different than journal publishing.

First, you may want to review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest (COI) regarding what contributions you can make and how you should make them.

Next, the guidelines for sourcing of medical content on the English Wikipedia are at WP:MEDRS; there are only rare circumstances when primary sources should be cited, and content should rely mostly on secondary reviews.

Also, we can't put sources together to draw conclusions that aren't explictly stated in the sources; that is referred to as synthesis on Wikipedia. We can only publish conclusions already drawn by secondary review sources.

I have left commentary at Talk:Shrunken pore syndrome about things to address in the article to make it compliant with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I suspect that some of the content can be sourced correctly, just hasn't yet been because you were not aware that content needs to be cited to secondary reviews only. Your feedback at the article talk page will help others correct the issues in the article, even if a COI prevents you from doing so.
