Motor Neurone Disease (MND)[edit]

This article has become relatively stable in terms of content over the past few months and from my point of view is factually quite accurate. However, I think the tone is somewhat inconsistent, verging between scientific prose and lay terms. A major consideration is the degree of overlap / redundancy with the article Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We have been unable to sort this one out on discussion pages. The concern is that our US-based readers/editors will go to ALS whilst UK-based readers/editors will go to MND. As they're the same condition 85%+ of the time this seems a bit silly. So, things that could do with consideration:

Suggestions for sorting the ALS/MND issue
Fact checking
Critique of the article's structure
Language used; is it too technically written for Wikipedia?

Many thanks for any views, I look forward to your input. --PaulWicks 09:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
