your contributions to menarche and precocious puberty

Thanks for contributing the references, but they don't seem to work. Both refs at health.am simply hung my browser. Also, since some of the info isnt correct, perhaps you could offer it on the talk pages first to avoid reversion. The chumlea ref is a good one and the link works, but your citation is a mess. Please fix, adding journal, volume etc according to the template. Thanks. alteripse 17:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

If of any interest, health.am links added to Polycystic ovarian syndrome also seemed to hung my computer for several minutes of apparent inactivity, but this was merely a quite excessive amount of frames (mostly for advertising unfortunately) to be jumped to and loaded. After a many minutes the real page loaded, the article was very good, but I shall hardly relish linking again to health.am pages :-) David Ruben ^Talk 18:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

PS health.am is not a journal (as I would understand this) but a website that commissions articles. There is no apparent peer-reviewing of articles, unlike perhaps eMedicine. I would suggest use of Template:cite web, as example see these edits for Polycystic ovary syndrome. David Ruben ^Talk 18:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

To alteripse and David Ruben

First of all, thank you :-) Regarding your comments [health.am simply hung my browser- by alteripse] and [also seemed to hung my computer by David Ruben]

As you wrote i put 2 refs Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology and Delayed Puberty Therapeutic Aspects, which hung your PC

i'm not PC guru, but suspect, that there can be 4 main reasons why page (site) loading speed is low

• ISP (user side)
• Ping time (server side)
• site (script, codding) - (webmaster side)
• other (about this i'll talk later)

that's why just to test 2 url-s

• http://www.health.am/gyneco/pediatric-gynecology/
• http://www.health.am/gyneco/more/therapeutic-aspects/
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_puberty (it's the article, which i try to contribute :-))

i'll use online services to ping, check site speed

Ping time from florida.

---

As you can view, that average speed (time) is high. the only test, which give 'negative' result- is ping test from florida.

Thanks for responding, but the bigger problem is the citations. The citations need journal, volume, PMID, etc. While those links aren't bad, they are not worth the load time and most of us would prefer links to review articles that are more comprehensive and permanent. Can you fix your citations? alteripse 21:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Respond to alteripse

Can you fix your citations? alteripse

Copyvio

You had lifted paragraphs in Gestational diabetes directly from the Armenian network article - I have removed this material to prevent violation of this copyrighted material. If you wish to resubmit the topics (and I agree discussion on diagnostic criteria for Gestational Diabetes and aspects of when & how to test should be included in the article), then please summarise information from external sources (and better, quote from more that one source).

I'll try all my best. Dr.Gangino 21:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Aging and diabetes

Your additions to diabetes mellitus almost exclusively focus on the USA. Could you provide more data on other countries, especially the English-speaking countries outside the USA? It would also be helpful if you could favour peer-reviewed journal articles over web pages that are not necessarily peer-reviewed. JFW | T@lk 07:40, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
