Disambiguation[edit]

Can someone do the title and disambiguation links so that "CERA" can redirect here? I have no idea how to do links, etc. in Wikipedia. Thx.06:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The disambiguation is in place. -- Iterator12n ^Talk 15:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

There is a suggestion to merge two articles: “Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta” and “Continuous erythropoietin receptor activator.” My take, for the time being: No. CERA is a category of drugs, including but not limited to methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta. So the question becomes, Do we write an article about a category, or an article about a member of the category, or an article for each? As long as we don’t know for sure whether methoxy has unique characteristics not present in other CERAs, I think we should keep the two articles apart, even if there is an overlap between them. -- Iterator12n ^Talk 15:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Iterator12n is correct in stating that the PEG does not need to be methoxyPEG for synthesis of a CERA from EPO. The two articles should be linked, but not merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.38.244 (talk) 17:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sports section needs more references[edit]

There are plenty of references in the 'illegal use' section, but only one in the intro/main body of the article. SpecMode (talk) 04:16, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
