@Doc James:- I don't normally grant IP block exemption to brand new users, however if this user is part of an education program, I guess an exception could be made. Anyway, do you think granting IP block exemption in this instance is a good idea? PhilKnight (talk) 23:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Yes they are a student at UCSF. I will give them IP block exemption. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:11, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

IP block exempt
[edit]I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.
Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.
Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.
Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).
I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:15, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Peer Feedback
[edit]Hi Dr. MRM-- I am checking in regarding the peer feedback we need to provide each other on our progress. We spoke about the editor giving some direction to the reviewer during our orientation, and so I will provide some! I am hoping to get specific feedback on the lead section of the nicotine replacement therapy article-- is it written in simple enough language? Is there something huge missing? Also, I would like feedback on the overall outline of the article-- does the outline make sense logically? There was a section on "exempted populations" that I did not write, and did not have the heart to delete because I think a UCSF pharmacy student put it up recently. Overall, did you learn something from the article? Thanks!! JKSinghMD (talk) 22:24, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
Peer Feedback
[edit]Hi Doc MDM-- here is my feedback: Great article choice! (1) Overall outline of the article is logical and flows easily. It also fits with the WikiMedicine standard outline (2) The history and society/culture sections provide very interesting background to endometriosis. There is some overlap in the content, especially in the first paragraph of the society/culture section, which speaks of hysteria and endometriosis in previous times. Overall, the content is good and I definitely learned something new! It is appropriate to have these sections towards the tail end of the article, which is otherwise largely technical. I would be careful with language. It is hard to remember what a 6th grade reading level is, but it seemed that sentences like this would need to be simplified: "This burden is attributed mostly to productivity loss and predicted by decreased quality of life." (3) The introduction section provides a succinct overview of the topic, hitting all of the key points I would expect. The language is simple to read. Good work! :) JKSinghMD (talk) 18:40, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
