Talk:Pharmacology

message: I'm interested in hearing from anyone else interested in pharmacology who really wants to work together to turn this pharmacology section into something to be proud  of. 
Work on style and referencing are my main interests but would like to work with anyone who has an idea on making it better. So if you have a love for pharm drop me a line. Bartimaeus 13:03, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: WikiProject Pharmacology

message: In addition to just having a list of drugs acting in various physiological systems, wouldn't it be wise to delve into the basic science of pharmacology? Drug-receptor interactions, ligands, receptor classes, structure-activity relationship, etc?
:I have written something very basic about the basics of pharmacology. The subjects you mention still require coverage. JFW | T@lk 23:17, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pharmacology as a basic science 

message: This article was just a list of classes of medication. I'm quite convinced this list should move to a seperate article, like I've done with list of withdrawn drugs. This article should concern itself with the scientific field of discovering medical drugs, testing their safety and reliability and their pharmacological profile. My edits today have added only a small bit of the required stuff. Any more ideas? JFW | T@lk 23:17, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Work on this article

message: I removed a long rambling section that was largely written in a very unencyclopedic style ("like walking on ice before knowing what 'ice' is"), full of POV ("drugs like celecoxib (celebrex) and Vioxx are the MOST dangerous...avoid these at all costs", "morphine is a hundred times safer, and won't give you cancer"), was redundant with analgesic (which is more balanced), and so on.
It's a bit long to reproduce verbatim here, but here's the diff. JFW | T@lk 18:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm looking for someone who is good at drawing professional looking diagrams to help me out with some pharmacology articles. Anyone interested should drop me a line at my talk page. Bartimaeus 09:04, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Diagrams

message: The Unclean animals article and the Clean animals article has a section marked "scientific studies" that concentrates on the results of a notable pharmacologist David Macht.
Does anyone know if his results are uncontested, or are contested, and therefore if the section is neutral or not? 
(Please edit that article rather than contacting me, I'm not that interested, I just noticed it had a neutrality problems sticker when I was going past it) Clinkophonist 16:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unclean food 

message: This article is a mess - and incredibly US biased - but also most of the pharmacology type articles are poorly written (and sometimes incorrect) stubs.
Now I am really a medicinal chemist and pharmacist - but there is a great need for development of all these articles, as at the end of day pharmacology is the basis of nearly all modern medicine therapeutics. Blimey there is not even an article on Molecular pharmacology.
If anyone is interested (especially looking for people who work/study in field of pharmacology or related subjects) in setting up a Wikiproject then I will certainly put a load of work in to do so. Ciao Lethaniol 18:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pharmacology - what a mess 

message: This article is a redirection from Posology. However the whole article lacks any explanation of "posology" (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/posology). I believe this is a major caveat that should be corrected by somebody.

message: I have removed the generic globalization tag from this article.  If you think the tag is deserved, please feel free to restore it -- but please also add a clear explanation right here on this talk page.

thread_title: Globalization tag

message: I'd like to begin my modest activity on your pages by a request. That mayn’t be the best way to please you, and I pray to forgive. But be sure I wouldn’t do so if I didn't thought it would be useful to you too and, by the same way, to universal knowledge of history of sciences. Here it is:
I've, on French Wiki, created a page about Ernest Fourneau, a French medicinal chemist and pharmacologist of last century. He's been a very important scientist, with an international influence. He discovered Stovaïne (the first synthetic local anaesthetic), therapeutic effects of sulfamide (in collaboration with members of the laboratory he created and managed at Institut Pasteur, among whom a future Nobel Prize, Daniel Bovet), and many other important drugs. He has an article in Encyclopédie Universalis and another one in Grand Larousse encyclopédique (and even in Petit Larousse!) However, he's named only once on English Wiki (in this article), about his discovering of the first H 1-antihistamine.
Would some of you be interested by translating this article or using it to create a different one?--Thierry (talk) 11:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
