When you've got a little time on your hands, would you drop me a note about testing VisualEditor's ] for me? I've done a bit with it, and it seems to be working okay, but I'd like other people's opinions. It should let you get a complete cite journal template with just three short actions: open the tool, paste in the URL from PubMed, and click to submit. Just leave a note on my talk page if you'd like to try it out. ] (]) 00:18, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

The key edit I was trying to put forward is a 2 yo boy was traced as patient 0 who didn't get it from preparing bushmeat or washing a corpse. It is far more logical and likely since dogs are a reservoir that he was licked by one or played in the dirt around an infected animal. Fruit bats are repeated unproven vectors.
:] ]

The sentence about dog licking bititing grooming was verbatim from CDC. Yes I read they are primary by definition, but a pretty good with many authors. Some now dead. Secondary sources are probably not keen. Not clearly informing the public that there is a strong possibility their dog is a vector till seroconversion does not sit right in light of dogs feeding on raw ebola infected corpses. Many eat dogs and bushmeat is a common interchangable term. Here in Philippines they eat dogs too.

Right now, how many dogs are loose in Africa that are in the process of seroconversion? How many owners are being licked vy their dog? I cite fact health care workers had to return to an area they thought they cleared. There obviously was a reservior present.

New concern please check this article it may be a hoax.
It claims a confirmed plant cure.

Hi, thanks for your vigilance on ]. There are currently 68 "labour" and 24 "labor" in the text of this article. "Labour" is used in the lead and the majority of headings. Given this standardising on "labour" seemed to be the way to go.

Hi James,

I think we may be talking past each other on the schizo article. The sentence in question currently reads

:"While as a whole atypicals have fewer extrapyramidal side effects these differences are modest, and risperidone is comparable to haloperidol."

Your edit summary states:

:" Sited ref says "these modest benefits were principally driven by the ability of second-generation antipsychotics to provide equivalent improvement in positive symptoms...."

But I was reading "differences" in this sentence as referring to extrapyrimidal side effects, and not the relative overall benefits. The source states

:"In contrast to their relatively similar efficacy in treating positive symptoms, there were substantial differences among both first- and second- generation antipsychotic agents with regard to their propensity to cause extrapyramidal, metabolic and other adverse effects; second-generation agents have a lower liability to cause acute extrapyramidal symptoms and tardive dyskinesia along with a tendency to cause greater metabolic side-effects than first-generation agents."

which I read as meaning that the atypicals have a substantially lower risk of EPS. I am no longer sure I read this correctly, but don't have access to the full text document to get more color. Could you take a look at this, and if I interpreted it correctly, adjust the text appropriately?

Also, I've done nothing for now, but the second part of this sentence "risperidone is comparable to haloperidol." seems to have nothing to do with the cited ref, which states

:"Cmpared with risperidone Haloperidol may be less effective at improving positive and negative symptoms in people with schizophrenia; however, results were inconsistent (low-quality evidence)'

Given that the evidence is low quality, I'm not quite sure why this particular comparison was called out, but it does seem that the article contradicts the source.
