message: In the past they were regarded as microorganisms positioned somewhere between viruses and true bacteria. 
This line is neither followed nor preceeded by an explanation of how they are regarded differently now. It should either be edited so that it no longer implies this to have changed, or an explanation added. --Kaz 18:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: In the Past?

message: In Rickets, it's stated that the word "rickets" comes from Old English "wrickken". In the Naming section of this article, "rickets" is claimed to come from Greek "hrake". Which one is correct? --NetRolller 3D 23:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just removed the "hrake" part, since it is irrelevant to this article.  Looks like the Rickets article now covers the Greek origin.  Maghnus (talk) 15:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I think that the article is a bit disjointed. Moreover, I have noticed numerous grammatical errors. I have fixed one of them that occurred in the first paragraph of the Lead, but more work needs to be done. I think that if the article becomes more polished, it will be easier to add to. --Olsen-in-HD (talk) 02:45, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fixing Grammatical Errors and Improving Flow 

message: In the first paragraph, it goes "Rickettsia is a genus of nonmotile, gram-negative, nonspore-forming, highly pleomorphic bacteria that may occur in the forms of cocci (0.1 μm in diameter), bacilli (1–4 μm long), or threads (up to about 10 μm long)." This description is not supported by any reliable resources yet. I've looked up some information on the Net and find a few related sources that may help. But I'm not sure whether they are good sources of information, so I need someone to check the following links for me. 
1. RICKETTSIA, CHLAMYDIA, MYCOPLASMA (See the section "Rickettsia") 
2. Bionity 
3. Current data on the polymorphism of Rickettsia prowazekii and burneti in cultured cells (Only the abstract is available, other parts of the paper were in Russian)
Thanks a million!
