There was a temporary problem with this move, somehow I moved it twice and was unsure as to how to restore... it was easy as it turned out, but that's why there are several extra edits in the article history. All fixed now I think. Moral: Be more careful when an unexpected "delete and move" box turns up. Andrewa (talk) 20:24, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

message: See http://www.lawyersandjudges.com/contributorinfo.cfm?ContribID=1621 for a bio of Dr Andrews. Note that he has been awarded the Kitagawa Medal for contributions to the area of keraunomedicine. 
See http://icae.jp/newsletters/2003fall/research-activity.html and scroll or search. The Kitagawa Medal was first awarded in 2003 to Dr Nobu Kitagawa and is awarded by the International Commission on Atmosperic Electricity to one who has contributed greatly to Keraunomedicine over many years (my emphasis).
IMO the concern about promoting a neologism  was an overreaction. And either way, we probably need to fix some of the redlinks above. Andrewa (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello, we are a group of medical student’s from Queen’s University. We are working to improve this article over the next two weeks and will posting our planned changes on this talk page. We look forward to working with the existing Wikipedia medical editing community to improve this article and share evidence. We welcome feedback and suggestions as we learn to edit. Thank you.

message: Hello, we are a group of medical students editing this page as part of our class assignment. We have compiled a list of suggestions to improve this article and would appreciate community feedback before we proceed with these edits. Here is a list of our suggestions:
In the “introduction” section, we plan on adding 1-2 sentences to give more context to lightning injuries. We plan on explaining how much current is stored in lightning, which flows quickly over a short period of time.
:::Great! Thanks for sharing this. Can you please add in your two new sentences and include the reference(s) to support these improvements? JenOttawa (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: See message above. Please include your exact sentences and reference so we can help before it goes live on Wikipedia.JenOttawa (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Why do you feel that this should be removed? Was there a reference to support this? JenOttawa (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Please add this reference with the citation tool when editing on Wikipedia (the exercise we did in our sandboxes on Nov 11 in class). I noticed that this is also very outdated (10 years old). There are cases where this is necessary (there is no recent evidence), do you mind explaining here? Thank you!

text: Thanks for including your regerence for the descriptions of different types of lightning strikes. Please add it using the citation tool (paste in your PMID/ISBN). That is great that you included page #s for this text book  this is very helpful for Wikipedians.JenOttawa (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Current is, of course, measured in amps, not volts. Not sure about the value either. Don't have time to find a reliable source right now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.113.165 (talk) 19:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  A practice guideline 

message: The section Pathophysiology contains this sentence:
"Lightning is neither a DC or an AC current but best described as a unidirectional massive current impulse of electrons."
If I am correct that lightning is a spark of static electricity, then wouldn't it be worth mentioning instead of, or at least in addition to, the "unidirectional massive current impulse of electrons" (which is somewhat difficult to digest)??? 
And if it is "unidirectional", then shouldn't the article state in which direction it is unidirectional???
That is: Does lightning move downward from the sky, or upward from the ground? 2601:200:C000:1A0:4D1A:3955:1FE4:D54 (talk) 09:57, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
