Talk:Merkel cell cancer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have started a Merkel Cell Cancer Group here at Google Groups. This is a group dedicated to those that have experienced Merkel Cell Cancer, their family members, or those supporting the care of a patient with MCC.

Please stop by, sign up, and post your experiences with MCC.

[edit] No evidence for Longley Claim

At the moment, I don't believe that Luc Longley had MCC. I cannot find any online backing for the claim and unless anyone can provide some, I will remove his name from the list in about five (5) days.Jefferson61345 (talk) 01:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

A relevant Google search comes up with nothing useful, so I've gone ahead and removed it. If it was true, it would have been mentioned by organisations such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, which has online archives going back several years. Graham87 02:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
And look at the other edit by the user who added the entry here. I can't believe I fell for it. Graham87 02:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish link

Removed this link as i believe it belongs in the "spanish version" of the wikipedia. If there is no article about this topic in the spanish wikipedia, hopefully you can speak spanish and you can tell them to create this article and place this link in their external link or use it as a reff.... http://www.cancer.gov/espanol/pdq/tratamiento/celulas-de-Merkel/

Now since I can't "read spanish" (i can say the odd word) i cant find it useful? So yeah sorry to be a pain n remove you're good faith.. petze 11:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

There isn't even an article about Merkel cells in Spanish. I'd like to suggest it to Spanish Wikipedia as an article but I don't know the language - it's hardly taught in Australia. Graham87 11:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I hadn't thought of the slippery slope issue before - and that alone is a good reason to remove the link. Therefore I'll leave it out of the article. There will eventually be an article about the topic in Spanish anyway. Graham87 04:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
