Admin Coaching
Hiya. I'm going to have some free space soon, as one of my coachees is going to request adminship (assuming that they are succesful of course!). I'd be happy to mentor you, but I will give some words of advice now. You are some way from a succesful RFA at present. With just over 1,000 edits and about three months of active contributions (I appreciate your account is a lot older) it will be some time. You contributions so far are excellent, but cuurent "RFA Standards" (by which I mean the miniumum that a significant proportion of the community find acceptable) would be 4-5 months tenure, 3,500+ edits and plenty of contribution in the project space (WP:AIV, WP:RFPP, nominating for CAT:CSD, WP:AFD etc. etc.) I'd also counsel at this stage that you should seek to get your edit summary use to 100%, and wait at least 10-12 weeks before another RFA. I'd also like to advise that being an admin is not something special - please don't edit for the sake of adminship or you will be disapointed!! I hope that helps, and please reply on my talk if you'd like to progress this further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedro (talk • contribs) 07:14, 18 April 2008

Distillery!
Hi. Why exactly is search for 'distillery' redirecting to "Lisburn Distillery F.C." and any attempts at reversion creating a warning message? I believe the word distillery does not exclusively mean the company, or does it? Elncid (talk) 11:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I reverted this user on your page today for vandalism I suspected he was a sock of and aske the blocking admin to have a look, as the only edits thet made was to mine and your pages. On the talk page of BanditoLoco he has said the Icecreamarmageddon has multiple accounts. Have you had any dealings with that editor. I am about to file a report for WP:SSP and would like your input if you know any other accounts thanks. BigDunc Talk 19:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey!
Hey! Thanks and sorry if I sounded a bit rude... I was desperately searching for distillery on the net and was quite put off when wikipedia turned out to redirect it to that plant. So, thanks again. I am quite new to all this stuff so plz forgive me [:)] Elncid (talk) 18:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey how did you get all that stuff into your user page? Elncid (talk) 02:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

hey! I meant all the 'home', 'talk', 'about me' etc. ones.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elncid (talk • contribs) 18:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU
Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

My RfA
Hello, Cyclonenim, and thank you for your recent participation in my RfA, which was closed per WP:NOTNOW after reaching a vote tally of 5/15/2. While I am disappointed in the outcome, I understand that it - as well as the comments left by yourself and others - was in the best interests of Wikipedia at this time. I plan to take everything that was written to heart and improve myself here on Wikipedia with a goal of perhaps accepting a nomination again in the future, should someone choose to nominate me. As a way of gathering further feedback, I have created a page in my user space for other editors to leave comments about things that they might have observed during my RfA and to continue my "education process," as it may be considered. If you would like to contribute to that page, it may be found here. Again, thank you for participating and I appreciate your comments! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi!
Now, I think major expansion and revamp of polyclonal response is over, so I invite you to go through it if and when you find time. I've uncluttered the reference that you'd pointed out. Just very much, out of the way, you could try narrowing the header that you have on your pages, as (at least on my browser with current settings) it was exceeding the width of one screen. Of course, you may also try getting it into two rows. Thanks for all the support for the "Polyclonal response" article.

All the best for your medical career.

Regards.

RE: My Your navbox
"Hi there, I can seem to make it smaller but I can't figure out how to centered it when i've done that (tried using DIV's and centre tags) so if you could have a look at it (User:Cyclonenim/NavBox) and make changes that you seem suitable which still look neat and tidy (i.e. centered) then that'd be grand. I'll have another look at polyclonal response too. Regards, CycloneNimrod talk? contribs? 10:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"


 * To be honest, I don't know a thing about HTML, but I think, and your method of preparing the navbar is different from mine. I somehow managed to make the changes you desired by adding 'align="center"' at the right place (after "cellspacing=1"). I have prepared both the formats I'd recommended to you. You can try copy and pasting the following scripts, which you can also find at my sandbox:

Hope this helps, and that I can learn more about HTML in the technically sound fashion. All the best.

PS: Do let me know when you're done with this script, so that I can delete your bavbox from my sandbox. somehow, I wouldn't find it appropriate to have your Navbox lurking in my sandbox ;)

 —Ketan Panchal t aL K   11:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

A personal advice!
Thanks for incorporating the changes I'd introduced in the navbar. Well, the advice part pertains to the Rfa (I suppose adminship) aspect. If you're aspiring to get into the medical profession, you might not be able to do justice to your adminship (which could be alright), or your profession (which could be disastrous). So, please do tread with caution. I'm telling you this with my own personal experience&mdash;Wikipedia can be very addictive at times, and definitely more so with fresh adminship. By the way, I came across this Rfa thing at your "Review me" page.

Hope you don't mind and consider this as excessive interference with your decision-making.

All the best, again.

"Sorry I don't quite understand what you're trying to put across! I'm not entirely sure how me being an admin would affect my career as a doctor, nor the other way round. There are several administrators on the En Wiki who are members of the medical profession. Would you like to clarify your point a little? Sorry! Regards, CycloneNimrod talk?contribs? 11:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"
 * I was just trying to point out that medical course (may be a bit more than the profession itself) tends to be quite hectic. If you feel you'd be able to balance out the two, that's good. That was just a suggestion with no intention to offend or provoke you in any way. Regards.  —Ketan Panchal t aL K   16:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did get your point, except for what "PBL" stands for. Guess, it could be standing for problem-based learning. So, what are the other course options available to you to become a doctor (asking just out of curiosity as in India, the only way is to do an MBBS).


 * Good there was no misunderstanding of any sorts.


 * And on this note, do you mind signing my guest book?


 * Bye. Take care.  —Ketan Panchal t aL K   16:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * But, what about the practical (clinical) aspects in PBL? Would you be entitled to the same privileges (in terms of license to practice) as an MBBS or MBChB doctor? And, what would be the name of the degree that you'll be awarded? Yes, somehow I missed your signature on the watchlist. Thanks, and of course, you got to be the first to sign my newly created guest book.  —Ketan Panchal t aL K   17:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Science ref desk
Hi! You removed a question about euthanasia from the science reference desk, but a couple of us aren't sure it was really asking for medical advice. It was just asking for directory information, rather than suggested treatment. Do you still think it's unwise for us to answer it, or should I put it back? --Tango (talk) 15:34, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Cetirizine hydrochloride
Hi there! Regarding your recent move of cetirizine, WikiProject Pharmacology guidelines state that drug articles should be named after the compound's INN—which rarely ever includes the salt, unlike the USAN, which always does. I've moved the article back to its original location; I hope that's OK with you. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please, no problem at all :) And since it seems you have a knack for medical editing, you're more than welcome to lend a hand over at WP:PHARM if you're interested. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:40, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm—I don't think so. Perhaps over at WT:MED? I've probably edited some articles on your Watchlist as well :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Reponse
Firstly regarding SAH - I don't plan to put that up for FAC until I know I will have the access to deal with all suggestions straight away. Presently, our computer is being fixed and I have to snatch time online here & there.

The nomenclature of mental illness is very contentious. Obviously, a well recognised set of symptoms, whether mental or physical, can be termed a "disease". However, mental illnesses are generally labeled as "disorders" (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, generalised anxiety disorder) for reasons that are not entirely clear to me. You are correct that diseases don't actually need a pathogen or even a pathological-anatomical substrate. JFW | T@lk  21:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Howdy
Hey there! I'm so jealous that you managed to get those images out of Dr. Jallo--how'd you do it? Did you know him, or just email him out of the blue? I need a CT image for pulmonary contusion, so I want to figure out how to do the same thing. Did you just email authors of articles, or what? Also, I'd like to try to get it to FA status some day, but I'm not comfortable doing it until it's had a review by an expert. Any ideas on how I'd go about getting someone to give me one? I don't suppose you've heard back from Dr. Jallo about reviewing SAH? That seems like it'd be even more difficult to get than the image. Peace, delldot   talk  20:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Polyclonal response
Hi! I am happy to inform that the article has been promoted to the GA status. By the way, I have renamed it as Polyclonal B cell response as I thought that sounded more appropriate.

Your encouragement, and constant focus on the article were very helpful. May be I might nominate it for "A-class" pretty soon.

Thanks yet again.

Regards.

Removing medical questions
You seem to be going overboard here. Medical questions (like "What are the symptoms of diabetes ?") are NOT requests for medical advice (like "What dosage of insulin would you recommend for me ?"). If asked such a question we should refer them to the appropriate Wikipedia article, not delete it. Your removal of the Asperger's Syndrome question and earlier removal of the euthanasia question both show an overzealous attempt to remove any question that relates to anything medical. Ask yourself this question when considering a removal: "Would anyone other than a doctor be charged with practicing medicine without a license if they answered ?". If so, then you can remove it.

zombie response
it's in earnest: to show ohw ridiculous and offensive it is to keep "putting off" meeting someone (as though they were a zombie or something) rather than just doing the research in the beginning. It only takes a moment to find out whether it is transferred.

my comment (dont know if you removed it, but put it back please if you did) is a direct response to "i can't put off meeting them any longer". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.120.108.31 (talk) 12:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
