[edit] Talk:MOSNUM
LeadSongDog. Please see my response to your latest post on Talk:MOSNUM#Straw poll. From what I’m reading, we are in basic agreement on the principle of the policy and the only differences lie in the best way to communicate the details. I hope to see you there.

- I'll hijack this header, I guess. I don't see the need for a protect because it's been a day since disruption, and it only seems to be one user at a time. It'd be easier to block the offending IP rather than protect the page. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 20:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. I'll try to keep a watch on the page; if it starts getting attacked, just call back and I'll try to deal with it soon. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 01:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted image
It says at [[1]] that "Images must be relevant to the article they appear in and be significant relative to the article's topic." A plane that was not involved in a plane crash is not significant relative to that crash. 86.152.200.47 (talk) 05:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

While your at it, check out the bluebox and purplebox proposals.

[edit] 24 million
Your change to the lead on Alzheimer's disease may have removed ambiguity about the extent of "affects" but reintroduced the false statement that the 24 million is cases of Alzheimers. It is an estimate for dementia as a whole. Since there doesn't seem to be a reliable estimate for AD worldwide, we need to find a way of saying that the 24 million is for dementia, of which Alzheimer's is a common cause.

- Took another go at it. See what you think.LeadSongDog (talk) 15:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Too much jargon, too much information for the lead and the plural "dementias" doesn't work. Rethinking the "is the most common cause of dementia, which affects an estimated 24 million people worldwide." I think the extent of "affects" isn't really a problem. I don't think anyone's expecting a figure for indirect affect (where would one draw the line anyway). Perhaps we should take this to the talk page? Colin°Talk 16:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
