Recommendations for article improvement/[edit]
- The first sentence in the article should begin with the article title. For example, "Vertebral osteomyelitis (sometimes referred to as spinal osteomyelitis, spondylodiskitis, or disk-space infection) is a specific type of osteomyelitis (infection in the bone and bone marrow) that involves the vertebral column."
- Genus should always be capitalized, and genus and species are always italicized (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus).
- A quick way to expand the article would be to incorporate a few lines of text that include the terms found in the "See Also" section (Osteomyelitis, Bone grafting, Allotransplantation, X-ray computed tomography, Fine-needle aspiration, and Intravenous therapy. Then you should remove those terms from the "See Also" section.
- I am more than happy to make some edits to the article if that would be OK with you. DiverDave (talk) 11:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
