Melysah,

  • A nice start to your WisdomCard! We do need to make some edits, prior to approval:
  • Regarding your Guide Wisdom and fast facts:
  • 1. One of your facts are changed a bit, and cited, specifically:"More than 20 million adults in the U.S. have gallstone pancreatitis."

From the source: "Gallstones are ubiquitous. More than 20 million adults in the U.S. have them". The information written is incorrect. Having gallstones is not the same thing as having gallstone pancreatitis.

  • 2. people are not infected by this, they are affected.
  • 3. Cholethiasis and Cholangitis do not get capitalized.
  • 4. Two FF's repeat the same information.
  • Several issues throughout your WisdomCard:

Please refer to:

  • OrganizedWisdom: Useful Resources if you are unclear on how a site is formatted. This has a list of popular sites, so that you can see how we spell or title these sites.

Also, Please read

  • Specifically:
  • I changed Medicinet: to MedTerms (via MedicineNet):
  • What Is:

Wikipedia: An Outline of Pancreatitis should be simply Wikipedia: Pancreatitis HealthLine should be - StayWell (via Healthline):

  • Symptoms:

University of Maryland Medical Center: Gallstones and Gallbladder Disease should be - A.D.A.M. (via University of Maryland Medical Center): also, this site needs to be linked directly to the symptoms area and titled as such (Symptoms) so it would look like this: A.D.A.M. (via University of Maryland Medical Center): Gallstones and Gallbladder Disease - Symptoms

  • Causes:

American Gastrologoly Association should be American Gastroenterological Association MedlinePlus: Choledocholithiasis should be A.D.A.M. (via MedlinePlus):

  • Treatments:

HealthLine: Gallstone Treatment A.D.A.M. (via Healthline):

  • Holistics:

ALTMD.com: Treatments for Pancreatitis should have a scroll icon since you need to scroll to get to the content- and it should be titled Pancreatitis - Treatment Plan Dr. Weil: should be titled according to the category that you are wanting your user to read. In this case, it would be What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for gallstones? And have a scroll icon.

  • Types:

This category should relate to either prognosis (outcome), types of a condition, or stages. For this category, perhaps only prognosis is appropriate- the first 2 links are off topic- see if you can find 2 similar to the 3rd link. you can use the Dr.Koop link, if you use this link: http://www.drkoop.com/ency/93/guides/000010_3.html and put as the title Prognosis.

  • Prevention:

1st link: please try to replace this link- since this is only an abstract, and you have to pay for the article HealthLine: A.D.A.M. (via Healthline): HealthWise (via WebMD): this should be Healthwise (small W)

  • Wisdom:
  • HealthBoards:

This link is not working. To use HealthBoards, this site needs to be linked directly to a post.

  • EHealth Forum: Gallstone Pancreatitis Forum should be: eHealthForum.
  • Daily Strength should be one word DailyStrength
  • MeetUp.com: Gallstone Pancreatitis Support should be MeetUp.com: Find a Pancreatitis Meetup Group Near You
  • National Pancreas Foundation: National Pancreas Foundation - Should be National Pancreas Foundation: Official Site
  • American Pancreatic Association: American Pancreatic Association - American Pancreatic Association: Official Site or you can also use the Acronyn as the lead in, and then the foundation as the title.

APA:American Pancreatic Association

  • Journals:
  • PubMed Central: this link is broken and also not titled correctly. Please fix this.
  • Clinical Trials:

Please use only one link for this and please keep it on topic- also please check to see if CenterWatch has any trials.
