I just added a Regulation of labeling sub-section, and am considering adding content on cross-reactivity with soy. You are welcome to chime in.

As part of a COI edit request I was reviewing, I rewrote much of the article and removed the template. I wanted to ask if you could visit the page at your earliest convenience in order to garner your support of this change. If it still does not meet with your approval, please let me know asap and I will re-add the template. I look forward to your response on the article's talk page. Thank you for your time. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 14:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC) Sure will take a look in a bit. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:02, 15 January 2018 (UTC) User:Spintendo the article is not based on secondary sources but is simple a point form descrition of the primary sources they have published.

May I just copy/paste the list to the article? Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 21:38, 15 January 2018 (UTC) User:Jim1138 Most lists of side effects vary some between sources. Can one copy and paste? The source you point to is fully copyrighted by the ASHP and thus you would need to paraphrase from their list. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:03, 15 January 2018 (UTC) Hard to paraphrase a list of specific items... I'll just add it as a reference. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 01:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Kallmann syndrome Thank you for the updates. I hope to do the treatment section next. I have the text prepared with references. I do have the concern that I will end up using 3 review articles for the bulk of the article but I think with a condition as rare as Kallmann syndrome the choice of reference is limited if I am going to stick to review article only. I hope the changes I have made so far look ok. I have prepared a change to the gene table which is in the Talk section of the page. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Neilsmith38 (talk) 23:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC) These are good sources User:Neilsmith38 https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/kallmann-syndrome/ https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/kallmann-syndrome https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/10771/kallmann-syndrome Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC) .....thank you. I have copies of those articles printed out and will be using them when I update the Treatment section. Thank you for the update today, the only reason I moved it was because I did not want to repeat too much in the article, but I can see the opening section should contain all the relevant basic details. I hope I am going the right direction with this article. Thank you for your input. Neilsmith38 (talk) 23:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Westbrook University entry Hi, Doc, Thanks for your note. I can appreciate why you reverted the Westbrook entry to what you had written. My concern is that, to me, your entry all but dismisses Westbrook as bogus. My research suggests otherwise. I certainly agree with the legitimacy of pointing out that Westbrook is not accredited by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. Indeed, I added that detail to the version I submitted earlier today. But, to me, ignoring any of Westbrook’s credentials, including its recognition by the American Academy of Family Physicians as an approved CME provider, is incomplete and, to me, suggests a negative bias. I just did a LinkedIn search and found many accomplished healthcare professionals with advanced Westbrook degrees, including Massachusetts General Hospital’s Wellness Center director, whose Westbrook Ph.D. the hospital recognizes. (I say it recognizes it because I also read the Wellness Center director’s bio on the Mass General website.) I hope we can find some middle ground that is accurate and fair.

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:08, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Meniere's disease, not Tinnitus You are quite correct, there is not mention of Lipo-flavonoid for Tinnitus. The intent was to insert the statement and reference for Meniere's disease, the topic of the 1st reference and for which the 2nd reference indicates there is no recognized treatment, but by error it went into the wrong (Tinnitus) article. Thank you for noticing this. --Zeamays (talk) 01:31, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Please read WP:MEDRS Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:10, 16 January 2018 (UTC) I have reverted your revert.

You altered one of my edits here. I can see that you added back in the repeating reference (all the half lives come from the same source, so why not just have one reference after sublingual/buccal?), but I'm not sure why. Thanks. DocTox (talk) 02:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Sure, I removed one of the extra h's from hours, added back a ref, and we only really need one image of fentanyl patches.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:49, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Pneumonia Hi James, I am done with the pneumonia article for today.

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Kallmann syndrome. Hello Dr James, Thank you for keeping an eye on the article. I hope the changes I have made so far have been acceptable so far. I am trying to improve the quality of the article the best I can. I left a couple of suggestions on the Kallmann syndrome talk page but one question I wanted to ask was about the mentioning of notable people with a certain medical condition. I think with a condition as rare as KS it would be good if we could mention a couple of patients. I did have two patients in the past, both of whom have Wiki articles, Jimmy Scott and Brian Brett. Having KS is mentioned on both their articles and have influenced their careers. They have been mentioned in the article before but were deleted by another author. I was thinking of mentioning them again in the "History" section. I hope this would be acceptable. Thank you. Regards. Neilsmith38 (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC) I guess the question is, have they had a significant influence on the disease or is them having it only mentioned in passing? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:58, 18 January 2018 (UTC) ...I take the point. They had no impact on the disease itself so they should not be mentioned in the article. It is mentioned on their own pages because having the condition has affected their artistic careers to a certain extent. I will leave them off. I need to expand on a the treatment section next but I am progressing cautiously. There has been a recent review article on the genetics of KS / CHH e-published this week so I will see if I can use that as a suitable reference. Thank you. Best wishes. Neilsmith38 (talk) 22:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC) January 2018 Your recent editing history at Martin Saidler shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I agree with the tag as I am the founder of the company and I created the article. However, I've tried to follow all of Wikipedia rules and only relied on content from independently published sources. How can I get the article cleaned up so that it meets wikipedia standards.

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:54, 19 January 2018 (UTC) Urinary incontinence I was evaluating the Urinary incontinence article and noted that though it doesn't undergo a lot of editing, a proportion of edits seem to be vandalism and antivandalism. Could you evaluate whether or not the article would benefit from some sort of 'block' that would limit editing to confirmed users? This might cut back on the time editors put into reverting vandalism. Thanks and Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐  ✉ 12:06, 19 January 2018 (UTC) If I may add my 2 cents, I do not find the edit history of that article problematic. Not many reverts at all (proportionally perhaps yes), and many of them seem to be good faith edits (aka not vandalism). No change needed imo. --Treetear (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2018 (UTC) I keep an eye on it. Might not be enough to get protection at WP:RPP yet.

Just curious. --Jameboy (talk) 14:15, 19 January 2018 (UTC) Better to have no source than the DM IMO. I guess I can add a tag if you wish.
