message: Hey Epidemiologists 
Please add a bit more on risk factors, it would be fun knowing the mechanism of actions of the risk factors.
didnt have references of few so if anyone could add that too, would be a great help.
enjoy discover and share knowledge

message: I don't know how to edit pages, but I think it would be worthwhile to document some of the known deficiency levels around the world. In particular, around 11.3% of Americans are moderately to severely deficient.

message: I tried to clarify the T4-T3-TSH links in iodine deficiency.  It is many T4 levels that regulate TSH release, as shown by Reed Larsen. Pustelnik (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Iodine deficiency's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Patrick2008":
From Iodine: 
From Thyroid: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:15, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Iodine deficiency]] 

message: I looked into this statement, which seems a bit far fetched:
"In Germany, it has been estimated to cause a billion dollars in health care costs per year." 
The source for this statement is here:
http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/13/2/116.pdf
This paper has a further source listed as:
Gutekunst R. Iodine deficiency costs Germany over one billion dollars per year. IDD Newsletter 1993;9:29-31.
Here is a link to the IDD Newsletter:
http://iccidd.server295.com/media/IDD%20Newsletter/1991-2006/idd293.htm
I could not find any references to back up this statement.  I propose the statement be removed from the page.""

thread_title:  Deficiency costing Germany 1 billion? 

message: Nice article.
reference 1 link is dead link.
reference 1 is supposed to link to- http://www.thyroidmanager.org/chapter/the-iodine-deficiency-disorders/ which is a great scientific article - with pictures of iodine deficiency in humans. I used to correct things like this all the time but I can't work out how to do it with the new "ref list" format...... sorry - you need to do it yourself !
