message: "Countries with the most developed aspiration biopsy are, Slovenia and India. At Karolinska hospital (Stockholm, Sweden), the annual volume averages eleven thousand aspirates; at Institute of Oncology (Ljubljana, Slovenia) ten thousand. Within the USA, the highest volume is encountered at MD Anderson (Houston, TX) with an annual volume of seven thousand aspirates."

message: While the topic of this article is clusters of cases of Minamata disease (mercury poisoning) that ocurred in the Canadian province of Ontario in 1970, I can find no evidence that there is a specific disease name or subtype referred to in the literature (lay or scientific) as "Ontario Minimata disease".
It looks like at some point in the past, someone just copied part of the introduction from Minamata disease.  Compare:
*Minamata disease, sometimes referred to as Chisso-Minamata disease, is a neurological syndrome caused by severe mercury poisoning.
*Ontario Minamata disease is a neurological syndrome caused by severe mercury poisoning.

While working on these articles, there will be some overlap, and eventually pruning.

Talk:Organomegaly

message: Most of the rows/entries in the "Definitions for various organs" table relate to distension, dilation/dilatation or wall thickening of anatomical structures, and don't actually refer to true organomegaly. Most cases of organomegaly cite an organ and then suffix with -megaly, such as cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, etc. There's a lot of useful, referenced info. in the article, but it ought to be transposed elsewhere. Also, 'gallbladder hydrops' (aka mucocoele/mucocele) is a pathology/condition of the gallbladder, not an example of organomegaly. The term organomegaly / visceromegaly should probably be restricted to hypertrophy and or hyperplasia of pieces of anatomy that can accurately be referred to as organs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RadHarry (talk • contribs) 18:59, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  if someone's up for writing 

message: Although the example is taken from cancer.gov, I think it is flawed. A smoker smoking "40 cigarettes per day for half a year" is expected to continue smoking that amount of cigarettes for a whole year, so the figure would be "2 pack years" rather than "1 pack year" as stated in the example. The "pack year" quantification is not intended to measure months of smoking, but years of smoking (viz. "the amount a person has smoked over a long period of time").  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.194.239.35 (talk) 00:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

In , the sentence saying the tool is named after Dr. David Pennington was added. There is a Dr. David Pennington, from Australia - except that his name is always Penington, and the clamp is always Pennington. His name is wikilinked and the article about him, with one n, makes no mention of the clamp. 
I can't find anything about it googling either name + keywords, and I used google books to search through his 400-page autobiography - https://books.google.ie/books?id=E1QNdGDmacAC&printsec=frontcover&dq=isbn:9780522857443&hl=en - and can't find anything relevant from clamp, forceps, invent, develop, device, etc.
