Where can I find updated data regarding football related concussions in adults? Justin/Sportsfanatix —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sportsfanatix (talk • contribs) 12:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Medicine
I see you've been maintaining the medicine portal and thought I'd drop some new info by you. The whole portal has been randomized so there is no need to add and remove DYKs, just add new ones. The process is to update the next available section at: Portal:Medicine/Did you know and then add the new DYKs to this page: Portal:Medicine/Did you know archive. Hope that helps! §hep  •   ¡Talk to me!  00:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * These pages Here and Here have all DYKs that Wikipedia featured that have medicine and medical in their hook. §hep   •   ¡Talk to me!  01:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
I've looked over your edits, and, with regrets, do have some reservations, only because of some of the systemic requirements of rollback. But, in all honesty, Twinkle works just as well. If you were to want to install it for your account, please go to WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Twinkle and follow the instructions there. I've actually heard from more than a few editors that they even prefer that one. I do regret the decision on my part, but a little more experience would probably be sought. After a month or two using Twinkle, you'd probably be a shoo-in, if you still wanted it after using Twinkle. John Carter (talk) 21:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the revert: he's out of business now.  Acroterion  (talk)  15:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA
I feel really guilty that it was my comments that made you withdraw your RfA! I really do hope your admin coaching goes well and you pass your next RfA. All the best :-) TheProf - T / C 20:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Two minor things with a view to your seemingly inevitable next RfA: Some (not me, nor the majority!) for some reason or the other don't take too kindly to self-nominations. Ideally, wait until an established editor (extra bonus if it's an admin) offers to nominate you. The second thing is, the way you responded to the individual comments in your RfA speaks volumes about both your great attitude and temperament. However, it also betrays some degree of inexperience since replying to a lot of comments is not common and even frowned upon by some (again, not myself) in certain, excessive cases.

Re: not popular with IPs
Yeah, I guess they don't like me reverting their vandalism very much. :) Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page as well. I really appreciate it. (I always love it when someone vandalizes my talk page because it shows up really loud and clear. :P ) Thanks again and happy editing! Thingg &#8853; &#8855;  16:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure you already noticed...
but I closed all the mfd's you just opened, and honored your request for deletion. In case you were not aware, if you ever have a user subpage that you'd like deleted in the future, simple add to the top of the page. That adds it to the speedy deletion queue, where it will be deleted promptly without all the !voting. Cheers, happy editing,  Keeper   |   76   |   Disclaimer  17:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Got your message, no problem. Let me know if you ever need assistance/advice/recommendations in the future, I'll help where I can and give you a flat "I don't know" when I can't :-). cheers,  Keeper   |   76   |   Disclaimer  18:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

ER
Just letting you know, I reviewed you at Editor review/Cyclonenim. I know my review was longer/more extensive than most people do, but I hope you appreciate it, nonetheless. Keep up the good work,  Jamie  S93  19:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome! As I said, it's not that you have a lot of big, bad problems, just some stuff that people wouldn't like to see on your next RFA. Just be sure not to rush the next one too fast.


 * I think a lot of times the problem with RFAs is that you have a user who's been around for awhile, helped promote an FA or two, and has had a lot of experience in various areas of Wikipedia, including more admin-related tasks. But then people bring up diffs and problems with WP:BITE and WP:NPA, and the RFA might fail due to several opposes. It seems that it takes a while for people to actually trust a user again, that they won't be snappy, as opposed to generally seeing a trend of positive, kind interactions with others from the get-go. Even if a user's last negative interaction or semi-attacking comment was a couple/few months ago, a lot of people, myself included, often consider it too close to the current time for comfort. So, I think a great way to start out is have a good foundation of a history of civility, and then work into more experience and knowledge of Wikipedia, which is basically something that's set in stone; if you helped promote a few GAs, for instance, you or nobody else can take that experience away from you.
 * By the way, have you applied for, or at least considered for the future, admin coaching? I think it's a good idea myself, although you might want to wait until the time when you actually feel ready for your next RFA. :) Good day!  -- Jamie  S93  00:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for GA reviewing cerebral venous sinus thrombosis! I will certainly help out with mucormycosis when I've got access to my usual research material. JFW | T@lk  21:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

"Wikipedia trumps a person's life"...
...is not at all what I said. I never even said anything remotely approaching that, and frankly I don't know what led you to think otherwise. Please pay attention to what I actually write than a convenient straw man. Kurt Weber ( Go Colts! ) 02:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * A straw man argument is one thing, an implied statement is another and there is a fine line between the two. Regards, CycloneNimrod Talk? 06:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hitec
You thought the deleted content was relevant? Then maybe you can explain to me what 'Hispanic IT Executive Council' has anything to do with a corporation that manufactures radio controlled devices. There should be a separate page for that, instead of leeching off an established page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.201.194 (talk) 02:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, looking back it appears I was indeed wrong thinking the content was relevant. Easy mistake to make, should have looked through closer. Sorry. Regards, CycloneNimrod Talk? 06:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Thanks for supporting my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I was very pleased to receive such strong support and to hear so many nice comments from editors whom I respect. I’ll do my best with the tools, and if you ever see me going astray don’t hesitate to drop a note on my talk page. Thanks again for your support!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 03:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Pete's Rfa clarification
Did you mean "wary" of his answers? Otherwise it seems you're implying that his answers are too long or something, i.e. they make you tired. I'll assume it's a typo vs. a grammar issue, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, let me know and I'll post a link to a good grammar page. Lots of people confuse the two words. Cheers!
