MS is not introduced properly into the article. It is unclear if MS +Demyelinating disease (WikiXert (talk) 06:45, 11 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

From Biosthmors

PNS and CNS, when spelled out, should not be capitalized. More to come. Biosthmors (talk) 21:03, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same thing with Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis[4] Quantitative Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) [4] Diagnostic Criteria. Only proper nouns are capitalized. More to come. Biosthmors (talk) 21:14, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are awesome. Thank you very much for taking the time to review my article. I know there are a couple grammatical things I need to fix and I intend to expand my Diagnosis section. Chaking32 21:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is saying "The term describes the effect of the disease, rather than its cause" necessary? I suggest removing it. Biosthmors (talk) 04:56, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Neuroleptics can cause demyelination." is such a short sentence (and a one sentence paragraph). I recommend merging it into the previous paragraph. Biosthmors (talk) 04:58, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"More information can be obtained on the wiki pages for these disorders. See “Types of Demyelinating Diseases” " is unnecessary. Biosthmors (talk) 05:00, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am expanding my diagnosis section with short descriptions of the methods. The descriptions on the pages I linked to are pretty succinct. My question: Is it illegal to borrow part of a description from another wiki page? If this isn't allowed, I am more than willing to revisit the page and add my own version of the description.

From Disavian

A minor formatting thing: put references after punctuation, and quotes inside of punctuation. So instead of:

Lorem ipsum<ref>some ref</ref>.

use

Lorem ipsum.<ref>some ref</ref>

Thanks! Disavian (talk) 21:37, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I have applied the changes to the rest of my references. I appreciate you putting my references into columns. Simple things make the page look so much better. Chaking32 Chaking32 (talk) 21:56, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:REFSPACE for examples. I see more that can be done in this regard. =) Biosthmors (talk) 21:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
