Dear Sirs

I'd like to give the following reply to foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org, for the thread "Fwd: A wiki where every article is a real medical case", and I hope I could help:

A agree it has some juridical issues that may need to be considered before expanding the project on a large scale. Nevertheless, it seems the current disclaimers on e.g. Wikiversity or Wikibooks are functional enough, so if the project starts there then it should be easier. Still, additional disclaimers in each article is probably needed.

askdrwiki.com and ganfyd.org are good sites - yet I don't think they make this project redundant since they differ from this project, mainly because the victims of diseases don't participate. It has both pro and cons - likely more reliable but yet not the same potential to expand.
