MEpedia:Suggested tasks

This page lists suggestions for improvements or additions to MEpedia.

PLEASE if at all possible, create/edit a relevant article yourself (see How to contribute), as the editors of MEpedia are all sick and working hard to improve the content in particular areas - we need your help! But if you REALLY can't make the improvement yourself, click Edit below (next to the heading "Suggestions"), add your suggestion to the end, and then click Save page.

Please keep your suggestion as brief as possible (usually one line) and be sure to include web links to sources/citations (e.g., the published study, a source for a quote, etc.).

If you merely wish to keep track of your own goals on site (but for discoverability by others), you can instead add a subpage to your user page (add a "/" and subpage, e.g., User:Brettz9/To-dos) and then add the code to your subpage article. It will then show up at Category:User to-dos.

=Suggestions - High Priority=


 * Add categories for all main page entries (in preparation for move to use category listing extension)


 * Add a portal on Wikipedia for CFS or umbrella (e.g., auto-immune-related conditions), bringing more awareness and contributions on Wikipedia (also through subpages, such as "B cells and CFS"), and which we could reference here

Stem cell treatments
Info such as at http://www.bbc.com/news/health-35065905 and http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=14735 would be interesting to have. Brettz9 (talk) 11:37, 19 January 2016 (PST)

Treatments
A great rundown of infections related to ME/CFS and potential treatments. Link can be added to "Further reading" on the List of treatments page. Information here can also be included on the appropriate pages for specific infectious agents and specific antivirals. https://sites.google.com/site/cfstestingandtreatmentroadmap/ --JenB (talk) 09:24, 11 December 2015 (PST)

Basic biochemistry

 * Add under "Further reading" to all Vitamin and Mineral pages the appropriate Linus Pauling Institute page http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/minerals Also choline http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline and essential fatty acids http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/essential-fatty-acids Cross reference with CFS research --JenB (talk) 11:47, 10 December 2015 (PST)

Infectious disease
New study shows that EBV can infect neurons. Apparently we didn't know this before! http://www.meaction.net/2015/12/10/study-shows-epstein-barr-virus-can-infect-human-neurons/ Look over the original study and add new information to Epstein-Barr virus page. Consider also updating the Herpesvirus page with any relevant information. I think it would be really great to expand the EBV (and really all the herpesvirus pages) with information on the association of these viruses with both CFS and other diseases, especially those involving B cells and the possible infection of nervous tissue.
