	'''Sinusitis - removal of reference to natural nasal sprays.'''

	I have no doubt '''now''' in my mind that you removed the reference to natural nasal sprays in good faith. However the purposes of referencing this is not for advertising purposes but rather to inform people of the alternatives to conventional medicine, which unfortunately, at present do not help the majority of chronic sinusitis sufferers. I suffered from CS for a number of years and was lucky enough to stumble upon a nasal spray called SinuSoothe which has rid me of my CS. Conventional medicine had left me in a dead end, like so many others. Conventional medicine is essential and I would always recommend someone to consult their doctor before undertaking any new treatment. However it is now becoming apparent, and the trend will continue, that some natural products can be just as effective but without the side effects associated with pharmaceutical drugs. In fact many pharmaceutical drugs are derived from natural products. At the moment there are been hundreds of studies carried out which have shown that Turmeric and Ginger can fight cancer. In Germany doctors prescibe natural remedies just as often as their pharmaceutical counterparts and their health system is one of the most advanced in the world. Although Misplaced Pages should not be used for medical advice, many people use it for this purpose. I urge you, as a Doctor, to re-consider the inclusion of natural nasal sprays since these have helped thousands of individuals who suffer from sinusitis. CS sufferers should know about all types of treatment, pharmaceutical and natural and therefore be in a position to make up their own minds about whether to try a new treatment, consult their doctor first or whatever. We should not be advocating any specific treatment but we should also not be depriving people of information either. I would really appreciate your suggestions in order that this may be included within the article. I would suggest that references to specific nasal sprays be removed, what do you think?

	I had put myself in the wrong field...now just a reviewing editor.
	Question: tim had instructed to tag text (the bit that looks like a citation, but has text rather than a number) and I was doing the {{citations needed}} on the edit page and I kept getting it to appear as a template rather than what I wanted. I've searched around to find out what I'm doing wrong, but can't seem to locate the proper instructions. Can you help? Thanks!] (]) 18:41, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

	Yes, I see that there is something that says "inline text" so that it appears as a superscript. Somehow, mine appear as that banner you see in my first message. Can you tell what I'm doing wrong?

	==Q==
	Hi there, I noticed you are very active in the WP:MED project so I thought I would ask you this quick question. As I am editing the articles and adding references, they sometimes show up as duplicates in the reference list. Is there a bot that fixes this or I should I enter them differently on the edit page (rather than with ref tags) if they've been cited previously? Sorry to bother you with such a basic editing question but I've looked all through the style guides and asked others and still haven't found the answer. Thought you might know! ] (]) 02:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

	== ] prevalence ==

	Hi Doc, How are you? I was just wondering, since you state that you are an ER doc, how often you come across instances of self-harm and whether or not your professional experience supports the information we provide in the article i.e. with respect to prevalence and gender differences etc. Of course this is original research but I'm just wondering if your professional experience backs up what we say. I think the biggest challenge in this field of research is the availability of accurate statistics and I think this is an area which probably needs improvement in the article. ] (]) 18:37, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

	== Edit summaries ==

	Hi James, could you try to consistently use edit summaries and the minor tag? I don't have a great internet connection and I trust you to abide by ], so I'd really rather not load up the page for something like . I noticed you made a bunch of edits over at ] which I want to review carefully and my review will be more difficult with when the edit summaries aren't descriptive. Just to let you know, the ones that you did use are very helpful, thanks. Also, sometimes when you're making a big change it can be easier to spend a fair amount of time working in one edit. Anyway, I'm heading to bed, and hope you don't take this the wrong way since you do a lot of good bold work. ] \| (] - ]) 09:31, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

	::Hi Jmh649, This is another note to ask you please to use the edit summary slot each time, before you hit the save button, after you make changes to an article, as you did to ]. This is especially important when you are making major revisions. The edit summary can be very brief, and it does not take long to do, but it is necessary. That way people who consult the edit history of the article can see who did what, and when. Thanks, ] (]) 15:05, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Uploading images to Wikimedia from open source journal articles

Quick question about protocol for medical images -- are we allowed to upload images from open source scientific journals to Wikimedia? If so, is there anything we need to do beyond giving the article's reference in the description? I enjoy sandwiches (talk) 19:46, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes we can as long as they are CC BY or CC BY SA. For NC and ND licensed images you can upload them here to NC Commons. Nothing special from a pt consent POV as it is assumed that the journal itself takes care of that. Have been thinking of doing a mass upload at some point.
