Great lead! Very informative, interesting, and easy to read, with sources for each fact. Ktteli (talk) 16:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For signs and symptoms, you might consider moving the cellulitis link to within the description to make it "(redness, warmth, swelling, pain|cellulitis)" so that it links to the cellulitis page based on the descriptors for cellulitis rather than on the "infection" key word.Ktteli (talk) 16:37, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the "Causes" section could benefit from some more sources to back up some statements, such as the common bacterial culprits. But very nice to have a separate section to quickly scan for and find what the common causes are! Ktteli (talk) 16:44, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the Prevention and Treatment sections would greatly benefit from adding sources. Despite the need for sources, the prevention section does a nice job of balancing a variety of opinions. Ktteli (talk) 17:03, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great epidemiology section, full of information and interesting facts. Again, this section would greatly benefit from citations that could link readers to the original source for this information. If each sentence could have a link to the original paper or book source(s), that would really strengthen the article. Ktteli (talk) 17:06, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
