Hi Losrivas, I'm really not all that concerned what it's called, but the article describing the field should go by the same name, or at least there should be a no-surprises wikilink to the other name with a description. That said, I'm afraid the track record for getting new task forces up and running has been rather bleak. Most of the WPMED crew seem to want to pursue a less structured approach. After all, editing WP isn't really a job for most of us. LeadSongDog come howl! 16:36, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Medicine, tasks you can do:

Hi Losrivas! Thank you for your work with the article about clopidogrel! May I note that per our Manual of Style, specifically WP:OVERLINK (last paragraph), words should only be linked once after the lead section to make the text easier to read. Would you be so kind and remove the redundant links again? Thanks, and happy editing, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 12:05, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Losrivas, thank you for your work on Management of acute coronary syndrome, but I'm afraid I have reverted your changes for the same reason as above. However, I will be happy to see more input from you there! -- NikosGouliaros (talk) 21:52, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks guys for the feedback. I'm new around here and not familiar with all the MOS and policy features of WP, but I appreciate the opportunities to learn. Thanks. Carlos Rivas (talk) 07:54, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
