message: :Does the link to a radio station's blog entry really belong at all?  Who is the missionary in question who encountered this? What do we know about the pictures themselves other than what we are told in the blog entry? What country does the man live in? Who is the author with a friend that is a relative of a missionary...?

replies: text:  There's a Romanian blog which reports on the same story...  Mark Allen's article specifies The man is under the primary care of Dr. Carmen Madeleine Curea, the primary dermatologist at Spitalului Clinic Colentina (in Bucharest), as well as some other specialists. Hopefully I've dug up enough references so someone who speaks Romanian can add more of the facts from the news articles  -- brain 05:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

In the interest of making a factual article, please follow up any references you find and cross-link to preexisting wiki articles.  brain 17:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Dede listed in the article by name yet the Romanian man is not?  In case anyone is wondering, the Romanian man name is Ion Toader and I learned this from watching "Half Man, Half Tree" on the TLC channel.

message: Given that some claim that this is a fake I believe it is warranted to provide extra links and resources and remove anything when doubt about the origin/article/references appear.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.103.172 (talk) 23:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Credibility 

message: None of the links given as references for the indonesian tree man phenomenon (most of which are blogs and such sources with doubtful credibility) establish a link between the tree man's condition and Epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Therefore the section about the tree man should be marked for review.

message: If anyone's feeling ambitious, the FX television series "Nip / Tuck" aired an episode (I believe in 2008) in which the two protagonists (plastic surgeons) were enlisted to treat somebody with this condition.  Potentially worth mentioning. 168.122.64.80 (talk) 14:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The lead says it is hereditary skin disorder. If it is hereditary, the parents should have the same problem. But clearly, there is no such cases yet reported. Does any reliable source say it is hereditary? -AsceticRosé  06:07, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Re: "If it is hereditary, the parents should have the same problem": That is not accurate, and it is a misunderstanding of what the word "hereditary" means and implies. All "hereditary" means is passed along through genes. It does not guarantee that the particular combination of genes necessary for the condition to present will be passed, and having a gene does not necessarily mean a trait related to that gene will be expressed (see such articles as dominance (genetics) and gene expression). For example, many forms of colorblindness are hereditary, but a colorblind parent with hereditary colorblindness will not necessarily have a colorblind child, nor does a colorblind child with hereditary colorblindness necessarily have a colorblind parent. The article cites numerous papers published in medical journals regarding the genes that cause epidermodysplasia verruciformis. —Lowellian (reply) 05:30, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

My one hangup is that it's not confirmed. BIt if, when it is, she'd be the first female. 74.114.86.131 (talk) 19:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
