Promoted to
GA status on
May 10,
2007. Article is in reasonably good shape, but could use a bit more work to bring it up to
featured status, mainly in the realm of wikify-ing text, and maybe adding a little more information.
I actually suggested it be split out; it's quite long (my main concern; shifts weight from more clinically relevant content), and not as polished as the main article.

Nominated as a
GA on
December 8,
2005, so it's been awhile. As it stands now, it's dangerously close to losing GA status (mostly referencing and some organizational issues). It's an important drug, obviously, so problems should be addressed.
It's very much a "
drug", arguably one of the most widely abused, but it's uses go well beyond the pharmaceutical realm, as it's also a major fuel, which I is why I'm a bit hesitant to make it the first one selected for this project.

Nothing's even been written, I wrote some basic stuff but no one has even added this until today. Check it out, similar to tramadol. First new narcotic painkiller in 25 years.

This is a great subject, but I'm not sure that it's the best choice for collaboration right now. I've been trying to find information about the drug, but it's so new that not much is out there in the scientific literature (most google searches go to press releases which mostly just reiterate what's in the article already).

I was shocked to see such an important topic have so little material. I fixed the intro and added a ref, but this really needs some attention. There is lots and lots to do, and I know we have some cardio experts out there.

I agree. This particular article needs attention. I'm quite familiar with cardiac physiology and would be more than happy to help. Voluminous lists are usually an eyesore.

I was surprised there was even an article on this...it's been around since June 2006, and has had {{expert}} stuck on it since its inception. Perhaps we can make this into a proper article on the sexual side effects of commonly-used drugs? —

It needs renaming to something like "medication and sexual behaviour". "Sex" may also refer to male/female differences (surely a topic that could do with an article, although it is badly understudied). Also, it needs renaming to avoid the suggestion that
rock 'n' roll plays a role :-)

This article is a rambling, out-of-date treatise that can and should give clearer information about--for example--the placebo effect in response treatments as diverse as high quality evidence-based medicine to medical quackery, why placebo controls are necessary for a quality study, and the known and suspected mechanisms involved. —

I saved this article from deletion. I don't have a background in biology, so moving beyong the corporate biographies and NYT article have been slow going. I would REALLY appreciate some expert attention on the article, as I'm sure I've goofed some things up. :) It is currently marked as high (he's got an h-index of 63), but feel free to mark it mid.

I marked the article for deletion, and withdrew the nomination when Protonk came to its rescue. It is a great article that deserves to be seen!
