Style for "Obesity"
The style in the Zotero style repository for the journal titled "Obesity" is not correct. Here are the instructions from their website (http://www.nature.com/oby/pdf/obesity_guide_to_authors.pdf):
REFERENCES
References should be typed double-spaced. References are to be numbered in the order of citation within the article; with only one number per reference. Within the text, reference numbers should be placed within parentheses and appear on the same line as the text, not in superscript. Abstracts should be avoided when possible. List all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first three followed by “et al.” Abbreviate journal titles according to MEDLINE style. Personal communications and unpublished data should be included within the text of the manuscript, not as references. Individual references should be formatted in the Vancouver style as follows:
Journal articles:
Tunceli K, Kemeng L, Williams LK. Long-term effects of obesity on employment and work limitations among U.S. adults, 1986-1999. Obesity
2006;9:1637-1646.

Note: The title of the journal or book is in italics
I tried using the endnote style output for this journal but Zotero gave me an error messgae. If anyone could help out with this I would be very grateful. I have had mixed results trying to program the style on my own.

1) et al. (in italics) should follow after the 3rd author name because there are 7 or more authors,
2) the journal name should be in italics
3) the journal name should be followed by the year without the month, then volume number, then page numbers
essentially: author last name with first and middle name initial. Journal article name. Journal title (in italics) year; volume number: page number range.
Thanks!
