X-linked
Can you source that one? I know it will ultimately be redundant with sources already there about specific forms of OA, but it would be nice for eventual Featured Article candidancy if there were NO statements of fact in this article that aren't sourced. Just no question whatsoever. :-) &mdash;  SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 22:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That OA is x-linked and thus affects more boys? Sure can do, if that's what you meant! I dare consider myself an expert on albinism ;-) so just let me know what specifically you need for the article. I know there is a to-do-list, and I would love to spend time on the article in general following that list, but I am writing a thesis and don't have the time. But if there is something specific, I'd be happy to improve the article. It's amazing how it's changed (to the better!) since I first wiki-ed "albinism". Allyddin Sane 22:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Done! That article would be a good source for many things, except that it's not (yet, I guess) up to date for the newest discoveries in the genetics of albinism. Allyddin Sane 22:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Agree with you on the new stuff; and it is still unsourced almost entirely from the middle on down, starting with "Vision and other problems".  But it's slowly getting there!  Regarding the new research, if you have some specific pointers, I'll be glad to read them and try to work them into the article, sourced appropriately. &mdash;  SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 23:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * What about the list of vision problems common for PWA - should the quotations go into the list, or in the following text that expands on that problem? I figured the text, because it is the details we want to source, but then again, would we not need a source that proves that these things ARE common in PWA in the first place?


 * And I meant that the SOURCE (Facts on Albinism web page) is not up to date with the latest of developments in genetics (OCA4 etc.), but the basics of albinism are very well explained in there (and haven't changed!), and would be helpful for the wiki article. I think it would be easy to browser-search the web page for the main term of many of the unsourced statements (like "foveal hypoplasia") and find something appropriate. I'm just afraid I need to interrupt my sourcing frenzy now.... Allyddin Sane 23:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Regarding the PWA stuff, I'm not sure I'd have a preference, other than I like to cite a source the first time the fact is mentioned, unless it is in a summary infobox or something.
 * BTW, great work on the recent sourcing run! That should shut "I know everything because I'm a doctor" up on several points.

 * Thanks, and I hope so, too! But it's totally consistent with my personal experience with both ophthalmologists and dermatologists and their "knowledge" about albinism - no surprise there.


 * Agree on the "cite on first mention"-thing, I just wasn't sure if the list of symptoms counted as the first mention. Allyddin Sane 14:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Go for it. If it ends up confusticating, we can just move it. &mdash;  SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 17:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

A new task force - ESA
Hello,

I've noticed that you are active in the area of space exploration. I just wanted to let you know that a European Space Agency task force has been set up to improve the presently very poor condition of articles about ESA and related topics. If you are interested, please join the task force here. We sure could use your help. Thanks.U5K0 (talk) 11:20, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Spaceflight portals
Hello! As an member editor of one or more of the Spaceflight, Human spaceflight, Unmanned spaceflight, Timeline of spaceflight or Space colonisation WikiProjects, I'd like to draw to your attention a proposal I have made with regards to the future of the spaceflight-related portals, which can be found at Portal talk:Spaceflight. I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or feedback you'd be able to offer! Many thanks,

WikiProject Spaceflight activity
Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, changes have been made to the list of members of WikiProject Spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, it would be appreciated if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the number of active editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!
