Welcome

Hi,

seems we both have an interest in health, I like it! Hope to collaborate with you in the (near) future!

I started here because of the lack of good health articles to put on the English wikipedia Portal:Medicine that I maintain. You can always update that section too, if you care to.

Why your interest in health? RU a physician?

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome. Also, I've noticed that you improved a couple of my articles. Thanks for that as well.

I am not a physician, just interested in health. At this point, I plan to write articles on health and nutrition. If you have ideas for collaboration, certainly let me know.

Cheers, --AlexS 00:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Disease

Hi,

I recently started Portal:Disease, which appears on top of Category:Disease. The reason was the somewhat irrelevant geographical subcategories of Portal:Health. I started some new categories like Cancer, Obesity, AIDS and infectious disease. I'm planning to make a list of old articles and asking an admin to categorise them. Meanwhile, please add these new categories to any articles you write! It'll put them on the portal automatically.

Cheers, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
