Hello Bielle. I hope the weekend treated you well and you got some rest and relaxation. I am still sorry that my signature may have made you uncomfortable, but, in the end, that is a big part of my life. I have done quite of bit of research in Wikipedia guidelines and it seems that my signature does not violate any thereof. I have already mentioned my editing, which I will continue to censor. I hope your week is starting off great. May many good opportunities come your way! Schyler ( one language ) 15:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea what happened
I got about six different "edit conflict" alerts (an editor kept correcting his spelling when I was attempting to reply to him, IIRC!) about six times, and eventually it posted. Bloody hell, what a mess indeed.Zythe (talk) 20:27, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * All that I can tell is that it happened between Obsidian's comment and yours, so you get the blame :-) as the last one to "touch" before the chaos began. Bielle (talk) 20:33, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out - I have edited it to some degree of solution, - regards,  Off2riorob (talk) 23:04, 8 August 2011 (UTC) I'm really not sure how it happened. I didn't copy and paste anything other than the small bit of my reply from notepad. I don't know how it happened that the whole page pasted twice, but not the categories or the header (which mystifies me). I don't think i did anything (I do know my way around Wikipedia) but as it seems to show up on my edit, I feel responsible. Thank you for work towards fixing it. I left Wikipedia to cool off once the debate was going nowhere, not to mention eat some food, and came back to find a post on my wall accusing me of doing it on purpose, which upsets me.Zythe (talk) 00:03, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't think it was on purpose, if for no other reason than it seemed to accomplish nothing useful. I did think that you had tried to repair the problem in good faith, as I said on Drmies's talk page. So, for what it is worth, I think that whatever happened was an accident.

We don't do dreams?
I have raised the issue at Wikipedia talk:Reference desk. I am not aware of any such policy or guideline. I don't care much whether the particular question stays or goes, but would like clarification on the reasoning. --Trovatore (talk) 22:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have responded on the Ref Desk talk page.--Bielle (talk) 23:19, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I I want to let you know that you got mail...
...and that I changed my user page again. You can comment about the change on my email. Willminator (talk) 17:03, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Editor is experienced enough to know better
I read the medical disclaimer which stated that Wikipedia or its users cannot be held responsible for inaccurate medical advice. Nothing says that editors cannot offer advice. I expressed that the user should seek advice from a nurse's hotline; however, the similarity to appendicitis is something to note. If the OP doesn't seek attention and it is appendicitis the result can be deadly. Ryan Vesey Review me!  21:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * No one added the appropriate disclaimer to the Help Desk because, I suppose, no one ever thought a medical question would be asked there. The Ref Desks, however, are very clear about medical questions (and answers). From the Ref Desk Headers:


 * The reference desk will not answer (and will usually remove) questions that require medical diagnosis or request medical opinions, or seek guidance on legal matters. Such questions should be directed to an appropriate professional, or brought to an internet site dedicated to medical or legal questions.
