Magnesium in Cardiac Arrest

Hi there,

thanks for your additions to cardiac arrest reagrding magnesium. We will need to get good sources for this information, as Wikipedia works on reporting only on what is verifiable (not necessarily just what is true!). This is usually done via the inline referencing system. For more infomation, you might want to look at the following wikipedia pages:

If you know the references, but just want some help putting them in the article, feel free to give me a shout on my talk page

Eby's page

Please do not use that page as a reference in medical articles per Wikipedia's policies on WP:Reliable sources and WP:Original research. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:51, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will second the warnings you've received regarding citing sources. Future reversions of the Clinical depression page will be considered vandalism, as you have violated the 3-revert rule, and will be dealt with accordingly. Thank you for your cooperation. --DashaKat 21:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.. On the clinical depression page, there is a reference to an abstract on Medline referring to a paper written by Eby and Eby, to a paper called "Rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment". Rather than a reference to the abstract on Medline, I replaced that link with one containing the *full article*, as opposed to the abstract, to the *identical paper*. How is a reference to the abstract of an article, so much better or more appropriate for Wikipedia than a reference to the full article itself? It has been claimed that I'm potentially vandalizing this page. Replacing a reference to an abstract of a paper, to a reference to the full article of the identical paper, in my mind is a very far cry from being a vandal.. but I would like to get a good understanding as to why the abstract is more appopriate, because I don't see anywhere that this is the case.
