OK

"The bias of the 4 tubes EL34 is set to 20 mA each, so the quinsy current for one amplifier is about 80 mA."
I know enough about amplifiers and tubes to know he's talking about the idle current, but - quinsy? It perhaps means something different in the Netherlands, as this also exists
http://www.quinsy.nl/
and they don't seem to be intentionally naming themselves after a pus-filled abscess.
They mean "quiescent" current.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.72.120.131 (talk) 14:28, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Incomplete sentence

message: 1st- Because the symptom "Hot Potato Voice" is a dead link, I am removing the link and adding a brief  explanation of the symptom (as it apparently does not rate its own article)
I would say "Hot Potato Voice" is exactly what happens - I am suffering from Quinsy currently and this is exactly how I am talking - Chrysanthemum55Chrysanthemum55 (talk) 23:46, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

message: washington is the only victim mentioned. not enough emphasis is place on the fact that before antibiotics, 'quinsy' was often fatal. untreated, it still can be today. pathological mechanisms, etc.Toyokuni3 (talk) 22:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

RE BERLIOZ: I've just been reading about an episode which Berlioz had (later 1820s), from his Memoirs. He believes it would have killed him, except for the fact that he stuck a pen-knife down his throat and lanced the abscess. Luckilly Berlioz had some medical training (such as medicine was back then!).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.80.157.161 (talk) 00:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The picture shown appears to be a tonsil mucous retention cyst, not a peritonsillar abscess.   A peritonsillar abscess occurs behind the superior pole of the tonsil causing swelling of the tonsillar pillar and often deviation of the tonsil and uvula to the opposite side.

thread_title: Incorrect Photo Illustration

message: I've removed a dubious and unverifiable section on "A new fatal and airborne strain" with "only one known case". Google and journal searching yields no results, so I'm skeptical. Re-add with citations if this is real. LagrangeCalvert<Talk / Contribs> 22:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
