message: Deleted the Titus-Ernstoff L article for the citation only states this: "DES exposure was unrelated to self-reported history of mental illness in women" , the citation oddly omits men out of the statement, which would indicate a particular agenda.
In addition, the citation makes no mention of depression in men.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.130.115.27 (talk) 22:34, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Why is there the unusual abreviation "Me" for methyl in the structure? In my opinion, deleting the word "Me" from the picture would make it less confusing. Icek 19:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The .svg image does not display properly for me either, so I have replaced it (with one without the "Me") which should address both concerns.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:54, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Going to be adding some additional research on DES sons.  Since the initial text under the "Des Son" section focused almost exclusively on trans-gender issues, an issue that seems to be negligible in (secondary) research, I have reduced the text accordingly.  For example, des exposure in males is much more associated with reduced visual/spatial cognition and depression. Witch Hazzel (talk) 16:53, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Diethylstilbestrol is not, and by accounts has never been, spelt "diethylstilboestrol" in British English. The current BAN (British Approved Name) is diethylstilbestrol to match the rINN, and the former BAN is stilboestrol (ie, without the diethyl prefix).

message: The search "stilbestrol" redirects to this article. Stilbestrol was used in chemical castration as a treatment for homosexuality in the U.K.; notably for Alan Turing. If the redirect is correct, perhaps this information could be included in the article. If it is another drug, then the redirect should be deleted or changed to estrogen, perhaps? 184.244.57.244 (talk) 07:26, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improper redirect or missing information 

message: It needs mentioning that DES was used as a court-ordered "treatment" to chemically castrate people.  ||Allan Turing||, the inventor of the computer was court ordered to take DES in exchange for a prison sentance as punishment for homosexual activity—something that the British government later apologized for posthumously.  I don't have time to insert this information with citations from the Turing page, can someone else interested please do that and add citations about its use to "cure" homosexuality way back before the medical boards declared homosexuality to not be a disease.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.175.148.221 (talk) 20:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of DES as a "treatment" or "cure" for homosexuality before homosexuality was removed from medical texts as classified as a disorder needs a section. 

message: The veterinary section ends with the phrase:
"When DES was discovered to be harmful to humans, it was moved to veterinary use."
It is ambiguous because it is not understood when this happened, in the earl 1960s? by the 70s? when?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2806:107E:4:FF2A:218:DEFF:FE2B:1215 (talk) 06:06, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

message: There is a general problem with structural formulas being uncaptioned in wikilink popups. I am adding this note here primarily as a reminder to myself to report this properly when my desktop is back up, since I first noticed it in this article. For example (the case that I first noticed), in the second paragraph of the lead, if I touch "stilbestrol" the popup displays two quite different structures with no captions, one for stilbestrol itself and one for triphenylethylene. At a glance it looks like two completely different structures for stilbestrol, with no way to tell which is the real one. It's a bit too much to do it from my phone, so I'll leave it till I have a desktop again in a week or so. I believe the proper thing would be to enter a wishlist item for captions to be shown in these popups. If anyone wants to preempt me based on this preliminary description, please do so! --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 23:59, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
