Wellcome external links

They are:

• Memoir in ebook form
• Engraving

Can the content from them be used in the article somehow? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:34, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Update

I have expanded this article with new contents (with corresponding references as well as links to help deorphan it). If you have questions about any of the info or references used, please let me know. Regards, Darwin Naz (talk) 13:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Many, many thanks, Darwin Naz. I actually added it to a list of anorexics a few days ago, but neglected to post here saying so. But more incoming links are good. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:59, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Glad I could help. Is his condition really anorexia? One of the sources - if I could remember it correctly - suggested he had skeletal deformity that was congenital in origin. There was also the case of the 5-meter tapeworm. Darwin Naz (talk) 04:57, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Good point, Darwin Naz. I think we should remove "anorexia" until/unless sources are found. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:13, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Indeed a claim that he had anorexia would require a WP:MEDRS, which is probably quite unlikely to exist. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:53, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Roger (Dodger67). There is a widely cited source that explained Seurat's condition based on the summary of clinical findings and the existing drawings of the subject. It appears that one of the authors is also a doctor. Would this kind of information satisfy WP:MEDRS to describe Seurat's condition? Personally, I would not contribute any edit to this specific area because it is beyond my expertise. :) Darwin Naz (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
