Talk:British Pharmacopoeia

message: Whilst I appreciate User:Vallenderm from this edit that you state "Expanded by the Editor in Chief of the British Pharmacopoeia Mrs Matilda Vallender (matilda.vallender@mhra.gsi.gov.uk) to reflect the current rage of products and services provided by the BP", normally one is not meant to edit articles about topics or products one is personally involved with, please see the guideline Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I appreciate though your openness in indicating who you are :-)
You obviously will have detailed knowledge on the BP, and thus will be a great source for improving both this and a number of other wikipedia articles. Let me highlight some policies, else your edits potentially risk being reverted as biased or promotional (for the BP). The issues are that all information in an encyclopaedia must be WP:Cited from WP:Reliable sources in order to WP:Verify. As an involved party, you risk being seen as lacking objectivity and WP:Neutral point of view.
As an example, the current version includes the sentence "Now used in over 100 countries with exposure in most continents of the world, the British Pharmacopoeia sets the standard for pharmaceutical compliance across the globe". Now whilst this may be true (and indeed as a Brit I too would like to think so), but without citing a source for the opinion that it "sets the standard", this seems like promotional WP:Peacocking, and I suspect our American editors will have a differing view on the relative merit of their own pharmacopoeiae :-)
In general as an involved party it is probably better to raise possible missing information here on the articles talk page, and then let another unconnected editor decide whether or not to update the article; again please look at the help offered at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. 
Please do not take any of this to be trying to bite the newcomer, we really do welcome your help and expertise. If you need any help with wikipedia, marking up text or adding citations, do please ask. I will for now step back and let you have a chance to review the above points and consider how you wish to complete your current updating of the article, before returning to copyedit the wikistyling and review the changes later :-) Yours David Ruben  Talk  18:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Undoubtedly very late, but this is not the forum to seek medical advice. Unqualified people could present themselves in an authoritative manner and give incorrect advice with the best intentions, or intentionally create mischief. For yourself and anyone else hoping for further information as part of treatment/self-medication, please consult a professional such as a pharmacist or doctor.

message: It is common to put a suffix (BP) after a drug name. Does anyone know, is this an abbreviation of British Pharmacopoeia? See e.g. the quote in Strychnine poisoning.

replies: text: Yes it is. The 'BP' after the name signifies that the preparation is formulated to the guidelines/specification contained within the British Pharmacopoeia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.57.101 (talk) 18:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
