Talk:Epidermolysis bullosa

message: From the article:
:Of these cases, approximately 92% are EBS, 5% are DEB, 1% are JEB
that would indicate that DEB is more popular than JEB.  but then one sentence later:
:Carrier frequency ranges from 1 in 333 for Junctional, to 1 in 450 for Dystrophic.
that would indicate Junctional is more popular than Dystrophic.
Which is true?

thread_title: Conflicting Information-

message: I have semi-protected the page as a result of the edit war over the inclusion of two new external links. I'm sorry, but I have better things to do than block the parties on both sides of the edit war as a result of the conduct here. 
If anybody would like to engage in a civil discussion here about the merits or flaws of the links, I welcome it here. While I hold good faith in my fellows editors, I'll be clear: if you want to talk about something other than the matter at hand—the merits of the links or how WP:EL and related policies apply to them—take it somewhere else. I would rather get the consensus of involved editors than make a judgment based on my interpretation of WP:EL, but at the same time, I want evidence and reasonable logic to follow, not just a show of hands. —C.Fred (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links and page protection 

message: I think that, by this point, they haven't quite realized that the links are not necessary and are being removed on sight. Would anyone object to the links being added to AntiSpamBot for automated removal? It's a less drastic approach than the local spam blacklist, and would make it a lot easier to keep the article clean. Shadow1 (talk) 22:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links part 2 

message: I fully understand Wiki's policy on having sites that solicit.  According to C.FRED's last sentence he is open to discussion as to why the EBMRF should be returned to this article.  While the EBMRF is indeed a non profit organization, they are THE MOST important providers of research and new information regarding this disease.  They are a non profit because the US Government does not fund research for such a rare disease and they need to raise the money somehow.  Yes, their home page shows some advertising for a necklace being sold to raise money for this research and I see how you thought it was just a fundraisng organization.  The truth is, much of the information provided in the article came from the EBMRF's research.  The EBMRF was linked to this page for a very long time before the edit war began.  Looking through the edit history it seems to have been perpetuated by the owner of EB INFO WORLD and EBAN and it amazes me how persistant she was in insisting her websites be included after she was told her websites did not add any further information regarding the facts behind EB.  Through all of this the EBMRF was innocently caught up in the edit war.  The EBMRF works closely with DebRA and NIH (both of whom are rightfully included as external links) and they actually provide these 2 organizations with much of their information.
The EBMRF's website is the only place on the internet where the latest information coming out of the Department of Dermatology at Stanford University is provided.
I offer you this alternative to linking the EBMRF at their home page.  The link http://www.ebkids.org/researchupdate.html takes you to the page that will provide this information for the people using this article.  There are no ads on this page.
PLEASE consider adding this link and allowing the EBMRF to be part of this article which they helped write in the first place.  Thank you, Dr. Amy Greene DrGreeneDrGreene
*Endorse. First, a comment on due diligence. The talk comment above is DrGreene's first edit to the Wikipedia. A Wikipedia search, even on "Amy Greene dermatology", turned up nothing useful. That said, a search on "Eugene Bauer" reveals not only that he used to head Stanford's medical center but also that he's been involved with some companies that develop commercial products for skin conditions. So, I'll grant that he's an expert on the subject. The update mentioned above is written neutrally, does not endorse a product, and presents neutral commentary on the investigation. I did not (albeit in a somewhat cursory search) locate any other pages presenting information on the trials. If there are no objections from other editors, I say add the link to that subpage. —C.Fred (talk) 12:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't have a good source for the number 6 - came from a website of someone who's child had the procedure, and I know that can't be usable source here.   216.226.176.142 (talk) 19:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Clinical trial

message: Would it be against some sort of Wikipedia "no endorsements of commercial / nonprofit entities" clause (or otherwise offtopic) to add a sentence or two about this kind of foundation & their work?  Here is the relevant passage in the article:
:"For Alexander Silver, the motivation is his 4-year-old son, Jackson. Silver, a partner at New York-based private-investment firm P2 Capital Partners, LLC, started the Jackson Gabriel Silver Foundation in 2010 to find a treatment for a rare genetic condition called epidermolysis bullosa. [...]
:Silver, 34, who has raised more than $400,000 since 2008 and aims for $10 million or more, predicts a good treatment will come if money flows without red tape to the right projects. His foundation -- along with one run by Paul Joseph, a private- wealth broker at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC whose 7-year- old son has the condition -- has backed work at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. The research has produced a potential drug.
:The approach has garnered $26 million in venture capital from Boston-based Third Rock Ventures to form a company and move the therapy in human trials."

thread_title:  I just left this here 

message: The article happily gets underway with the statement:
Of these cases, approximately 92% are EBS, 5% are DEB, 1% are JEB, and 2% are unclassified.
What are these orphaned initialisations supposed to mean?  Surely it's not up to a dummy like me to point out that without context this is meaningless drivel?  123.185.76.209 (talk) 14:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
