NOTICE OF INTENT TO DELETE LINK in case anyone wants to discuss or dispute it
This is a duplicate of the notice I left on 68's blank user page.
I have to admit I was surprised to see you link bone age to age of consent. There were dozens of conditions and variations of puberty I considered linking to and decided not to. Linking to age of consent conjures up an imaginary scenario where someone tries to change age of consent by age laws to "bone age of consent" so all teenagers need to get x-rayed to see if their bones are old enough to have sex. Or how about a pornographic fluoroscopy where all you see are the bones of people doing lewd things and the prosecutor has a pediatric endocrinologist review it to determine the bone ages of the actors/actresses to see if any "bone age of consent" laws were broken. Anyway, thanks for the laugh. I thought I would at least give you a chance to persuade me the link belongs there before I remove it. Alteripse 23:28, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I agree, delete it. I believe that it has no relevance. -- JamesTeterenko 05:51, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hello! I am a medical student at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, and I’d like to edit the article on Bone Age. I will edit the text article for clarity, update the citations and insert missing citations for existing content, and reformat the article to include section headings for "Clinical significance," "Physiology," and "Measurement techniques."
The lead section can be improved by including only information that summarizes the topic of bone age. I plan to remove extraneous information such as the second paragraph which describes some properties of bones; this information can be moved to the new "Physiology" section.
The methods section can be expanded. For example, paragraphs 2 and 3 are one sentence long and only serve to introduce the concepts of the Tanner-Whitehouse method and a knee atlas. These sections may be lengthened a bit by including a brief description of what the methods are. Citations are also missing from the methods section, and I plan on adding those missing citations. I also plan on adding a paragraph on MRI techniques for evaluation bone age.
A new section titled "Medical Uses" will be created and will subsume the "Height predictions" and "Clinical application of one age readings" sections.
