New Edit Request - July 14 2016

In the last paragraph of the initial summary 55 million is given as the number of global cases, in Epidemiology it's listed as 7 million. These should be validated and reconciled

Thank you for this article. I noticed that in the first section, in the overview of Parkinson's disease, the final line does not mention singer Linda Ronstadt as one of the notable people who have increased awareness of the disease. I would like to suggest you add her name. If you Google her, you will find enough evidence to support such an edit.

Best,

Not done: She is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Per WP:LEAD, we summarize the article at the beginning. Things not in the article should not be included in the summary section. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:07, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers

There is a new article being written at Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers. Could some active and knowledgeable editors at this page please check and see if any of that information is relevant to this article? If it is, you may want to add it to Parkinson's disease, or link the two articles together. Thanks. Bradv 21:10, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch. It is by a student editor - I have userified it User:Suhasini66/Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers. Hopefully the student will come here and discuss how the article should fit with existing content. Jytdog (talk) 23:26, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let them know on their talk page, please. Bradv 23:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did on the article talk page - will now leave a note on their talk page too. Jytdog (talk) 23:39, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Standalone Article

Hi! I'm actually working on creating a Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers article. I noticed that there wasn't a biomarker section in this article, so I wanted to create a standalone article. Could you take a look at it when you have the time? I would greatly appreciate the input. It's titled "User:Suhasini66/Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers" for now.

Statement

"The possible roles of sodium and potassium in PD has been reviewed.^[1]"

Does not really provide any useful information so I have removed. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:46, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit

Last words of the intro section should become: "late" professional boxer Muhammed Ali SSoheilHosseini (talk) 01:06, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
