McKusick

Please have a look at my comments on Talk:Victor A. McKusick before reinserting parts of the article. JFW | T@lk 18:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping you'd respond to my message on Talk:Victor A. McKusick. An interview that has not been published, or personally gathered information, is original research that is not suitable according to Wikipedia policy. Sorry to carry on about this, but this is really how it works. JFW | T@lk 14:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be honoured to call VAM a "friend". Great. Now please don't hesitate to refer to the interview as a source once it has been published in Arch Dis Child.

One hopes you'll stay around to do some more editing on medical history. I try to add a history section to all clinical articles I write. These are the things that one doesn't normally find in clinical reviews, and it is one of the strengths of Wikipedia. Clinical articles should have a section on humanities anyway (e.g. famous patients - in moderation - and cultural references).

Let me know if you need any further assistance. And send VAM my regards. He is legendary. JFW | T@lk 21:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Medical expert

Mi Poling, my comment about the Freeman-Sheldon syndrome article needing an expert was in no way meant to reflect on the article itself.

I was going through the wikify backlogs and when I came to yours, I knew I was not qualified to to it (though I have a Ph.D. in a medical field). I was just trying to draw attention to the article from an expert as an alert to other wikifiers. I apologize to you if you interpreted my actions negatively.
