Perfect Dark
I think your grammatical edit here must be mistaken. I assume you misread the sentence. Let me know if you don't agree. Soo 13:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, I see how you were parsing it now. Direct speech needs some kind of punctuation before it, as the site you link to suggests; I think it was the absence of a comma that triggered off my "something's not right here" reaction. The current revision should satisfy us both. Soo 18:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. I have not been very active at Wikipedia since Wikiversity started...I wonder how you noticed me. I have mixed feelings about placing barnstars on my user page, but I made a "trophy case". --JWSchmidt 15:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind present! It helps to feel better. Please feel free to post any questions or critical comments on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing! Biophys 22:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC) .

I'm such a hothead when it comes to articles I've edited, I'm almost sure you've got the wrong person. But if not, thanks for the Resilient! ALTON  .ıl  02:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

RE: Barnstar
Greetings, and thank you -- I have been away, hence my inability to acknowledge you earlier. I actually haven't edited excessively, but hope to contribute more in the time ahead. Thanks again! Quizimodo 00:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Lung cancer
Thanks for all your work on the lung cancer article - it's thoroughly researched, referenced, and generally all-round wonderful. I'd got to a stage where all I was doing with the thing was reverting vandalism and posting doubting comments on it - I shall have to try and get back to actually improving articles rather than just firefighting...!

Lung cancer
Hi there Axl. I noticed you just reassessed Lung cancer to A-Class. Since A-Class is actually "a step above" GA in the assessment scale, AFAIK it is usually reserved for articles that have already gone through the GA process and have been listed as such; meanwhile I've bumped it down to B-class again. If you disagree, please feel free to leave me a note.

P.S. In my humble opinion the article is pretty much at Good Article standard; I left some drive-by suggestions at the Talk page. If you'd like to nominate it… :) Good work and best wishes, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. Keep up the good work. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

"Ninjas" (again)
Remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_May_27#Category:Fictional_ninja ?

Well, he kept trying until he eventually won. And now, he wants to make "Ninjas" and "Historical Ninjas" as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_June_7#Several_ninja_categories

This is just stupid, but the mods were on his side: and now he wants to change the rest. --HanzoHattori 17:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Axl, for being the earliest supporter of my RfA :) Best wishes, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much. By the way, the lung cancer screening article was one of the best referenced and up-to-date pages that I have encountered among the medical pages of WP.Badgettrg 03:50, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

It is working for me now. Have you tried fully reloading the page (Ctrl+F5 in Windows)? Do any of the previous versions of the file download correctly for you? - SCEhard T 16:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Emergency psychiatry review
Thanks for your comments thus far over at Emergency psychiatry. I've tried to address your issues and I've left you responses at the talk page of that article. Thanks again for your help, and let me know your thoughts. Chupper 12:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Lung Cancer FA?
I'm really sorry for the late answer, I've been doing my practice at the dep. of pediatrics and it killed my time. IMHO, the article is totally ready for a FAC. Let me know when you nominate it and I'm going to help you! Great job! NCurse work 18:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hand Hygiene
I strongly disagree with your editing of the hand hygiene article and your assertion that the article on hand hygiene be redirected to hand washing. It should be the other way around. Hand washing should be rediredted to hand hygiene. Washing your hands is one way to obtain hand hygiene. Hand hygiene includes hand washing and the use of other procedures to obtain good hand hygiene. I am reinstating the orginal revised article and would appreciate it if you did no further editing to the article until it is discussed on the hand hygiene talk page. Thank you very much for your cooperation--JSHibbard 19:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Please continue your editing of the hand hygiene article as quickly as possible. I did not realize who was editing the article until I took a closer look at the history page. I apologize for the statement above and would like your help in editing the article. There are so many myths and so much misinformation about hand hygiene it is almost overwhelming. The facts about hand hygiene need to be disclosed to the general public so thet can make informed decisions concerning hand hygiene. Thank you for your help.--JSHibbard 15:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

The barnstar
Thanks! Xihr 20:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Much obliged!
That's the best barnstar we could possibly hope to receive. Thanks! :-) Sidatio 19:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

First barnstar!
I am honored by the award. My first! But the transcription factor article for which the Barnstar was awarded is still definitely a work in progress. Much work remains. Boghog2 20:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstars
Hi Axl, and thanks for the message. I'm a little confused as "giving out barnstars" is something I rarely do - I think I've done it about four times in about 4000 edits so I'm impressed you've even seen one from me. In addition the "I insert user herby give...." is actually fairly standard text. Nevertheless, I shall heed your words of wisdom as the point is of course to emphasise the recipient - happy editing!

Lung Cancer Edits
Hey Axl,

Sorry I've been MIA for the past few weeks. It's been a busy time at work for me. But I would still like to be bold, as you suggested, and make some changes/additions to the lung cancer article. Per our conversation on the talk page, my edits will be focused on the disease's impact on non-smokers. And I will try to balance the coverage of the article to demonstrate that the disease affects huge numbers of "never-smokers" (10-15%) as well as smokers (40%-45%) and former smokers (45%-50%). I would like to illustrate that smoking turns the crisis of lung cancer into an epidemic. Whereas, in absence of smoking, mid-low six-figures of people would die from the disease annually, with smoking, over a million die every year. Hopefully, when completed, it will be clear that, while tobacco smoke is by far the most common cause of cancer, sadly, if tobacco never existed, lung cancer would still be among the most common cancers, if not the most common one. Cheers! ask123 20:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello colleague
Would you give a look to Quackwatch Articles for deletion/Quackwatch and tell me your opinion? If it is a "puffed up" article? It kind of fell in my hands and I am not 100%sure but sems to be self-published, I need the opinion of someone used to do an assesment before giving an opinion.

Lung cancer
Congratulations on becoming featured! That was almost entirely your work, so personal credit is definitely due. Will you be helping with other respiratory medicine subjects too? The COPD page is in need of serious help. JFW | T@lk  21:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * And my congrats as well, Axl—I know I didn't add much to the FAC, so I apologize :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 22:22, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, guys. "Lung cancer" still needs more work, notably the "History" section so I shall expand that over the next couple of weeks. After that, I may well look at other respiratory topics. ;-) Axl 06:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
