Good news
A couple of good things happened today: A minor edit here reminded me of an article I created in 2008.
Елисеева is Russian for Elisséeff; and it caused me to remember writing about Serge Elisséeff at Harvard. It will take time for me to figure out how to explain why this seemed helpful.
A more immediate consequence was the opportunity to enjoy effective collaboration. I worked with In ictu oculi in improving the text of William George Aston and Kim Chae-guk. This was a very small illustration of what I hope to encounter whenever I log on to Misplaced Pages. Good news is good to share.
FYI: you may be interested in a stub article I created about John P. Merrill, the "father of nephrology" --Tenmei (talk) 21:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Re: Sepsis
As an aside, I nearly died because my treating physician insisted that I be treated for a different category of shock. On the topic of MODS, 1992 is an utterly reptilian date. But the citiation was not removed because it was from 1992. It was removed because the statement for which it was cited no longer exists as recognized fact. When a statement is categorically incorrect, as you surely know that it is, it cannot be added to. Because it constitutes a form of vandalism It must be wholely expunged. Consequently there is nowhere left for a new citation to be placed. QuintBy : Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quintby (talk • contribs) 08:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
- You need a ref saying that this is no longer the case. Uptodate still uses the 1992 definition. I have not seen a newer one. I am not sure were the questions regarding vandalism comes from. I do not think it applies in this case. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:17, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Reversion of "vandalism"
That was not vandalism. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome can cause pharyngitis, in fact it even says that on the NMS page. Please read a textbook before you revert my edits in the future, and don't patronise me again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.106.16 (talk) 03:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
You have no right to remove it, you are allowed to add "citation needed", for which I am about to provide one. This is going against policy, you can't just remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.106.16 (talk) 04:04, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
And seriously, don't you have better things to do on your 'holiday'. Lets go on holiday and edit wikipedia! For that matter, do you bring your "textbooks" on holiday with you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.106.16 (talk) 04:05, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- If you read Misplaced Pages:Verifiability if says "Anything that requires but lacks a source may be removed". I enjoy editing Misplaced Pages and have electronic access to my Universities entire collection. :-) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:07, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
