The last sentence of the lead mentions in passing genetic disorders; does this term refer only to genetic disorders? Or does it include (eg) Herpes zoster? -- Una Smith ( talk) 17:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Ian (Wiki Ed) : We ( MKoehler, BMehall, and Kmeyer517) are proposing to expand the article on Phakomatosis. To do this, we have decided to use neurofibromatosis as well as the other three diseases we talk about as examples to demonstrate the effects and range of phakomatosis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danimcclo ( talk • contribs) 04:01, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
The content added here, ignored pretty much everything at User talk:MKoehler/sandbox. Additionally, I linked there a discussion I opened at WT:MED about the proposed edit, where several experienced health/medicine weighed in. See here. Jytdog ( talk) 05:49, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
As Phakomatosis is not a single disease but a family of different diseases I agree it would be best to have a section that provides an overview of each rather than the other layout. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 22:57, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
I understand that this was a rather difficult Wiki article to pretty much create and it took you a while to put it up on main space, however I think that there is a lot of information lacking. From what is up at this moment, the initial paragraph gives a good overview of the topic. I also think the addition of examples and external resources were helpful especially since there isn't much consensus on the condition. Overall, I think a lot could be added, but from what is there, it seems pretty good! Paige MU ( talk) 02:57, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
I think that the new information intended to be added to the page was well written and very clear. Although it seems like there is a bit of a struggle to get the page into main space, I really learned a lot from what the authors have intended to add. One way to improve the page found in the sandbox, here, would be to add links to the diseases when they are first mentioned in the first paragraph under signs and symptoms. Overall, I think this was very nicely done! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AverageMarquettekid ( talk • contribs) 01:51, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
A tangential discussion was held at VPP related to some of the images on this page. Archived reading available here. — xaosflux Talk 10:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
