message: Any ideas who this is named after? (Presumably someone called Evans) Bobstar 00:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It was named for Robert S Evans, born 1912, aka Bud Evans. He was best known as a caring and compassionate man, and an annual award is given in his name. I will work on updating this information with regard to Evans Syndrome. TranquiliC (talk) 21:42, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I know nothing about R.S. Evans, whose original paper is cited. Nothing on whonamedit. JFW | T@lk 09:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

text: In the USA eponymous diseases are written without the S (e.g. Parkinson disease). JFW | T@lk 21:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

text: It should most definitely be Evans Syndrome...it is not named after Dr. Evan and it is also not Dr. Evans' possessed disease. It is very much simply Evans Syndrome. TranquiliC (talk) 21:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

text: If we're simply talking about Evans Syndrome in general, then sure, there could be a section on how it affects other animals, however, the focus of this article is primarily the affect on the human animal. I cannot write with any authority on the illness as it affects any other living creature. TranquiliC (talk) 21:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Whilst I don't dispute this condition exists, nor that it is notable, this article was created as a direct copyvio of http://www.madisonsfoundation.org/index.php/component/option,com_mpower/Itemid,49/diseaseID,81/  I have therefore removed this copyrighted material on sight. The sections in the article therefore need rewriting, using appropriate selection of secondary & primary sources. If anyone with detailled knowledge of the condition would like to have a go please do, else I'll have a start at what is currently now just a stub. David Ruben  Talk  03:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for setting us straight on that. That said, the information out there on this illness is woefully inadequate and I know personally that there are desperate people out there searching for answers so any appropriate enhancement to this article would be a welcome change. With what authority do I say this? I am co-administrator of the Evans Syndrome Community Network on Facebook and at http://www.evanssyndrome.net. Let's get this thing in working order so that we can provide some badle needed reference material for families affected by this illness. Thanks all. TranquiliC (talk) 21:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyvio

message: I have Evans Syndrome. I've had Hemaglobin as low as 3 and platelets at 0 for over two and a half weeks. I just spent two and a half weeks in the hospital with 0 platelets and almost bled to death 4 times. I woke up Easter Sunday covered in my own blood bleeding everywhere from my face. I had been healthy for a year and a half. I'm just curious if there is anyone else out there that puts up with as much crap as I have with Evans Syndrome. Also if anyone is doing any research as to what is the cause or if there is any new medicine out there. Any updated information would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has any questions about Evans Syndrome they can email me at joshkinney20@yahoo.com I know a lot and can help anyone out and am very knowledgeable about it and current treatments. Again if anyone has any information or updates about research for Evans Syndrome please contact me through that email address. Thank you. Josh Kinney (talk) 05:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: It would be helpful to have resources about Evans Syndrome listed at the end of the article - particularly links to any  groups. The only one I've found on the web is pretty inactive and therefore I haven't listed it. (Update - one now added, but more would be good) Rowmn (talk) 19:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As a person with Evans Syndrome, I can tell you that the Yahoo group currently listed in the article is very active. The Facebook is very new, having been created in November 2008. The Evans Syndrome Community Network has worked with members behind the scenes to hook them up with people similar to themselves (i.e. similar age group, similar circumstances, etc), and is working on a new way to help families affected by Evans Syndrome as a not-for-profit organization by the end of 2009.
