message: people with waldenstrom have elevated  il-6 and that makes elevated fibrinogen.  So IL-6 must be secreted by these lymphoplasmic cells in waldenstrom.  find a hematologist to confirm this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.151.255.15 (talk) 18:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Obscure text from Role in disease 

message: The title of the article is Interleukin 6 without the hyphen, but the first paragraph writes interleukin-6 with the hyphen. Which one is good? I tried checking online references, but both styles are used, with the hyphenated one MAYBE being more common...

replies: text: agree that the hyphenated form is more common and is the main form in literature database medical subject headings (e.g. PubMed/NLM). This article name - Interleukin 6 [without the hyphen] - needs amending. Am learning how this should be done now!      Mangofast (talk) 09:40, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interleukin-6 or interleukin 6 ? 

message: Added more details about how IL-6 activates epigenetic changes in order to give a greater understanding of how IL-6 is related to neurological disorders  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbavley (talk • contribs) 19:45, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the universal role of IL-6 in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, might it be appropriate to discuss the broader implications before jumping into specific diseases? Perhaps under a new sub-heading? Food for thought. Serotonick (talk) 05:36, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Epigenetic modification 

message: This section needs correction as it is severely overpresented and is needlessly referencing many works of one and the same author. IL-6 as myokine is overpresented to the point of making the whole article imbalanced. People without knowledge in the field would think that the main role of the IL-6 is being an "anti-inflammatory myokine", while its research and importance in inflammatory and infectious diseases and therapy is manyfold greater. Furthermore, this section is evident and unneeded reference spam - all of the referenced sources in this section are (co)written by Pedersen BK. --Tkelava (talk) 08:00, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Role as myokine (moved from article) 

message: The article contradicts itself by stating IL 6 is anti inflammatory and then later it is pro inflammatory. This needs addressing 81.78.174.220 (talk) 18:43, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
