Why is the title of the article all one word, but in the article itself the name is always broken apart into two words? Shouldn't it be consistent either way? Lyrl 12:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
It is generally written in 2 words: Ethinyl estradiol. Ekem 14:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
I have just removed several sections from the article for being blatant unedited copyright violations, taken straight from this page. I find it rather sad that such an important drug is so poorly documented here on wikipedia that someone could get away with copyvios. Hopefully we can start to give this article the love it deserves :) LinaMishima ( talk) 23:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
The title names the compound with an "i" following the "h". As the name of the substituent is derived from Ethyne (the systematic name of acetylene), then name of this lemma should be "Ethynylestradiol", as in the first line. Is this lemme to be renamed again? T.vanschaik ( talk) 10:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
I agree that very few informations are (freely) available all around about this very common and widely used hormon, and as a consequence also Wikipedia currently offers very little about it. In particular, one topic of interest would be explaining/understanding the relative potency of EE versus plain Estradiol in binding to E receptors and activating them. EE appears ways more potent (why ?), since oral formulations always include EE in microgram dosages, while E (micronized or valerate) is always dosed in milligrams. Any interested people would like to understand that by reading this entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.4.120.199 ( talk) 19:37, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
The article conflates bioavailability with protein binding in the boxes below the chemical structure. Should an entry for "protein binding" be added, or should the proper bioavailability data simply be inserted in place of what is currently there? - Puddin'head 207.93.211.50 ( talk) 17:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Why does this article contain zero info about the use of EE in trans health? Can anybody add anything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funkendub ( talk • contribs) 19:58, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Article says
EE is used as a medication and is a component of almost all formulations of combined oral contraceptive (COC) pills, being nearly the exclusive estrogen used for this purpose.
But ref is from 1999. Has this changed since? 193.167.228.180 ( talk) 11:38, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
As part of an elective class, a group of four of us will be editing this article over the course of the next 5 weeks. Sections have been assigned to particular team members within our group (Hbary, Kristran, Ucla.cesar).
Our timeline is as follows:
Medical Uses (Hbary) -I'm going to be adding intro sentences to this section — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hbary ( talk • contribs) 20:15, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Contraindications (Kandyskim)

Peer Review Question 1 (pharmcontributor2017)
- Thank you for your response! I took a look at the examples of the side effects of unopposed estrogen that you are talking about and wasn't sure what you meant. Looking at the side effect section, endometrial cancer was specifically addressed, and beyond that the side effects you are mentioning about unopposed estrogen is addressed in the side effect section as a whole. I've double-checked the sources to make sure that they were referenced appropriately and provided the correct information. In terms of weighing the pros and cons of EE, that goes into clinical decision making and I believe would not be appropriate for the scope of this article. Kristran ( talk) 18:50, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Peer Review Question 2
-Thank you so much for the feedback, and taking time to view each cite and see if it's appropriate. I agree with you, and have changed the Very Well citation to a more legitimate one, Mayo Clinic! Hbary ( talk) 16:21, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Peer Review Question 3
Awesome job guys! I'm reviewing the format style and if it's consistent with Wikipedia's manual of style. I would say you guys did a great job in formatting making all of the content easy to read. All of the terms used were in lay language and if they were not, that word or phrase was highlighted so it can be directed to a new wikipedia article explaining more about it. All the information provided was cited in Wikipedia's format with the source at the end of the sentence. Overall you guys did a good job with formatting!

The strong Lead the article had when it came to the medication and answered some strong questions that might have challenged the reader. From the importance of the Lead when it came to the medication to what it is and how it is used, I hope readers stay engaged with this article. Daeshjeam ( talk) 04:43, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
