Article "Gluten sensitivity"

Hi Jfdwolff, would you be interested in having a look at the article on Gluten sensitivity? I have made an attempt at improving the article recently (including creating the new article on "Gluten challenge test" and removing a poorly-sourced section on this in the Gluten sensitivity article). But some parts of the article are still rather messy. In the end, I have marked the most evident problems which I could not imediately solve with "clarify" templates etc. - For example, the article speaks of "idiopathic gluten sensitivity" which is not, as far as I can see, usual terminology for any gluten sensitivity variant in mainstream medicine. As further example, the term "gluten-sensitive enteropathy" seems to be intended to be distinguished from celiac disease in an undefined way. (As a more general matter, there does not seem to be clarity so far as to whether the article should deal with gluten-related disorders in general or should focus on non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) in particular - but this may be natural given that research on NCGS is rapidly changing in the last 3 years.) In brief, if you would like to check it out, I would be pleased. --Chris Howard (talk) 23:11, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Chris Howard Thanks for your message. I can have a look but I am not sure if I will be able to sort this properly. GSE is classically a synonym for coeliac disease, but there is a whole territory of gluten-related pathologies that enjoy much less acceptance within the medical science community. doi:10.1136/bmj.e7982 stirred up a lot of discussion.

I would personally struggle to make a diagnosis based on challenge and rechallenge, because most products containing gluten also contain lots of other substances that might be allergenic or immunogenic in some form or another. JFW | T@lk 23:17, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Right. Hard to sort it out entirely properly at this point. If you could for example address the GSE wordings (clarifying the statements, if you can), substituting the expression coeliac disease wherever applicable (and deleting any statement that might seem to be nonsense), that would already be quite an improvement... --Chris Howard (talk) 23:28, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

FYI, I have proposed here to move the NCGS part to a new article (building on a suggestion of someone else earlier). If you have an opinion about that, you may want to join in. This is just to keep you posted. --Chris Howard (talk) 19:53, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I wish you a Happy New Year!

I have now expanded non-celiac gluten sensitivity from a redirect to an article, and have moved "gluten sensitivity", after restructuring it, to the umbrella term gluten-related disorders. Greetings --Chris Howard (talk) 10:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Hartog Jacob Hamburger

On 9 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hartog Jacob Hamburger, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Hartog Jacob Hamburger (pictured) described the chloride shift (or "Hamburger shift") in 1918? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hartog Jacob Hamburger. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Pancreatic cancer FAC

Hi, you have commented at this. I think as of now all the points on all the reviews are responded to, and either settled or awaiting a response from the reviewer (mostly the former), so you may want to revisit it. I'm sorry some of you have had to wait a while for this. There has been a lot of activity, both on this page and on the article itself, as well as the holidays. It's been great to see so many people getting involved in this. Many thanks to you and all reviewers and editors! Wiki CRUK John (talk) 15:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Please go to the WP article "Bayt Nattif", the Talk Page there (last section)

User:Jfdwolff, there is currently a debate between me and another editor on the WP article Bayt Nattif's Talk-Page (last section), concerning an entry there which I found inappropriate and relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Looking for your candid advice.Davidbena (talk) 23:20, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
