Talk:Achilles tendon

Humans are great apes

Article says that the achilles tendon is "short or absent in Great Apes, but long in arboreal gibbons and humans." Humans are great apes. Also, the comma in the quote is unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.152.104.238 (talk) 18:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Is exquisitely the right word?

Is "exquisitely painful" an appropriate phrase in this context? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.111.164.115 (talk) 12:03, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Suggesting an external link to Achilles tendon research summary

I suggest that we add an external link to what I believe is the only listing and summary of peer reviewed Achilles tendon research on the web. The 50+ Achilles tendon research papers listed are a selection of earlier ground breaking research, current state-of-the-art research, and research overviews. Each listing includes the research paper’s key point or points. The URL is: http://achillestendon.com/research/

Wikipedia’s External Link Guidelines for What Can Normally Be Linked includes: “3. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues,[3] amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons.” I believe the “Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to ... amount of detail” applies here.

I am suggesting it here on the talk page rather than adding it myself because I have a potential Wikipedia conflict of interest: I am one of achillestendon.com’s authors. Thanks in advance for considering this suggestion.
