WikiProject Good Articles May Newsletter
The May Newsletter for WikiProject Good Articles has now been published. Dr. Cash (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi!
I don't know if you remember, posting a comment on my talk page regarding Thermodynamic feasibility of converting creatine to phosphocreatine, a doubt which I posted in the science reference desk. Well, it still remains unanswered :( . Of course, that was in good will that you recommended. Any way, that's not why I am messaging you. It's about this new article that I created, which I'd be glad if you review and comment upon.Bye. Regards.

Hello! Actually, I leave a note about the new collaboration only on the talk pages of the voters. But I always leave a note on the Wikiproject medicine talk page as well. But if you want to, I can set up a list for the regular contibutors so I can let them know about the new articles. What do you think? NCurse work 06:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for visiting and reviewing the page on polyclonal response. The following was your feedback: "Review

Here's a brief review that i've conducted after no sleep in 48 hours, so forgive me if it's a little vague or beyond comprehension.


 * WP:MEDMOS needs to be applied to the article.
 * An infobox would be a good idea, i'll get down to that at some point for you.
 * Significance needs to be expanded upon and written in continuous prose rather than bullet pointed.
 * Polyclonal response needs to be added to the immune system template at the bottom of the page.
 * Regards, CycloneNimrodTalk? 22:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)"


 * Well, by applying Manual of Style, I suppose, you mean simplifying the article to make it understandable for the general public as other issues--mainly--caring for patients' sensibilities or not addressing the medical persons or the patients, I suppose does not apply in the case of this article.


 * I didn't really understand what matter could be included in the infobox for this article as it's mostly a phenomenon that requires to be explained, and not a disease or a molecule that would have a lot of objective data as its attribute. But, of course, your ideas are most welcome in this issue.


 * I'll try expanding the section on significance, but I had refrained from doing that because the first point in particular about maximizing the probability of recognizing an antigen would have sounded quite repetitive. Also, subconsciously, I felt that the points under the category would require citations that I didn't have.


 * I have already included polyclonal response in the


 * 'immune system' template.

Hope this much progress satisfies you.

Thanks again for taking the special effort to visit the page, and, needless to say, you were pretty clear to me in whatever you said ;)

Regards

re:Mucormycosis

 * I merged the other article and started a bit of cleanup to get the two to flow a bit better and propsed a merge of Basidiobolus ranarum as it's the human variant of the previous merge. Sorry I haven't been able to give this focus OATs and other things kept me busy.  §hep   •   ¡Talk to me!  22:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know
It's usually best to mention errors on the main page (that do not occur in their respective articles) in WP:MP/E as this is more closely monitored by admins and so you're likely to received a faster response. I've already moved your report on Cyclone Nargis Nil Einne (talk) 11:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ventricular hypertrophy
Just wanted to let you know, in case it's not on your watchlist, that there's a good informal peer review at Talk:Ventricular hypertrophy. I know you've done some work on that article in the past, and thought you might like to know about the potential for improvement. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Your input would be welcomed
Hiya, sorry - this is a bit spammy. You recently commented at my talk page regarding my proposal for a mentoring process that takes us away from "admin coaching" and moves towards a process to provide a support system to help editors who wish it become effective, high quality administrators, and not an administrator for the sake of it. I've created a header at User:Pedro/Mentoring and if you have any time to provide some feedback, or just tinker with it, I'd be grateful. Pedro : Chat  08:36, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Stroke
Hi!

I added this section: Common types of ischemic stroke include: Total Anterior Circulation Infarct (TACI) Partial Anterior Circulation Infarct (PACI) Lacunar Infarct (LACI) Posterior Circulation Infarct (POCI) Each of these gives a stereotypical clinical picture. Before the location of the infarction has been confirmed by diagnostic imaging (e.g. CT Scan), they may be referred to as Total Anterior Circulatory Syndrome, and so on (TACS, PACS, LACS, POCS).

I'm afraid I don't have a reference for it - it was something that I was taught at medical school though, so I'm sure it'll be documented somewhere. Ged3000 (talk) 16:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot for the barnstar. Never thought will get one. Well, I had a doubt: how does one cite the same source again in an article to support different facts. For instance, how can I add The "Immunolgy Fifth Edition by Goldsby" at different places? Also please provide me with a wikilink to the relevant page with instructions.

Thanks in advance. Regards. Ketan Panchal, MBBS (talk) 14:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Israel
Thanks, when I saw your question I went 'ooh, I think that's partially a trick' and remembered Israel. Wish I could find the ANI discussion for full details but I'm glad I answered it to your satisfaction. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 15:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep, I told Keeper somewhere in the discussion process that I don't mind answering questions that are relevant, or even somewhat irrelevant like the username spelling question. I don't have anything to hide, Wiki-wise, so I figure it can't hurt to answer and at worst, you learn something if it's not answered the way the questioner thought. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 16:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm not too worried about Kurt, it's his POV which he's entitled to. I also !voted in the AfD you linked. I agree with you that it's not spam and appears notable. It's well beyond my scope of understanding and much of it is behind pay gates so I personally couldn't clean it up but I think it could be done. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 17:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh and thanks for this link when you asked me about the IntelliCAD AfD. I wasn't aware of that page before and using Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/ misses out on the non AfD discussions. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 17:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Experience is always a good thing. Looked as if people supported the idea of your RfA but with more experience, so that's a good start. I found that 'working' with Keeper, Jayron, DGG and other admins was a good learning tool and observing some of their actions taught me more than just reading policies and what not.

Re: Alice in Wonderland syndrome
Hi, I'm afraid I don't have any sources, but it is something that was mentioned regularly by the guys in the psychiatry department when I was on placement there. A quick google search revealed this. I'm sure pubmed could find something better. Maybe ''Lipowski ZJ. Delirium: acute confusional states. New York: Oxford University Press, 1990.''? "Lilliputian hallucinations are hallucinations of miniature people or animals" - Cameron AD, Crash Course Psychiatry 2nd Ed, p23, ISBN 0-7234-3340-2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ged3000 (talk • contribs) 19:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I would strongly disagree with that edit. Delirium Tremens is not a symptom - it is a diagnosis. (IDC-10 F10.4) As such, "Delirium tremens is also a known symptom of AIWS" just doesn't make sense. Also, the article you refer to with this statement does not mention delirium tremens or lilliputian hallucinations. Ged3000 (talk) 20:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, I completely agree that information in any encyclopaedia should be properly referenced. Sadly I don't have any reference in front of me, and don't have the time to look for one. However, I have been taught that lilliputian hallucinations are a characteristic feature of DTs, which is why I thought I should make a comment that this was not fully described. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ged3000 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Re: reference. Sorry - I didn't look at the title of the article as mentioned on the wikipedia page. The link supplied with the reference leads me to an unrelated paper - The Evolution of Surgery for the Treatment and Prevention of Stroke Ged3000 (talk) 20:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much - you beat me to correcting the missing >! Hopefully that is closer to the truth! Ged3000 (talk) 20:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Belated thanks
Not sure if I ever properly thanked you for the nice barnstar. Hereby: thanks for the nice barnstar! I haven't quite got around to looking at zygomycosis yet - had my hands full with familial hypercholesterolemia (now GA). JFW | T@lk  20:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

IP "vote" on Rfa
I presume you noticed that someone moved the IP's "vote" back to general comments. The IP was absolutely correct to put it under general, as IPs are not allowed to cast an official "vote" according to the (perhaps outdated) general RFA guidelines. Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  20:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem :) At least you didn't use the new rollback tool I gave you to revert J Milburns updates.  That wouldn't have been good.  :-)   Keeper   |   76   |   Disclaimer  20:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

PR
Hiya, was that what you were looking for on Talk:Zygomycosis? I didn't see anything resembling an NPOV issue, but I'm not sure if you were intending to suggest there was one. I do see what you mean about all the merges making it confusing though. Anyways, gimme a heads up if you were looking for something more specific (I'm crap at watching talk pages though, so you better hit my talk page). Peace, delldot   talk  01:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again, wasn't sure if you saw my reply on my talk page since I'm just so popular tonight. ;)


 * In other news, I was excited to see from your userpage that you got pneumonia to FA, are you interested in chest medicine? I wondered if you'd be interested in giving me a review for either pulmonary contusion or subcutaneous emphysema; I'm not an expert and it's possible I've introduced errors.  Any lung insight you could bring to either would be much appreciated.  Awesome work on the medical articles by the way, I'm surprised we haven't run into each other before this!  I guess I tend to hang out in pretty isolated corners of WP:MED. :P  Peace,  delldot on a public computer   talk  07:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

RFA Thanks
Thanks for your participation at my recent Request for adminship. I’ll keep your concerns in mind as I continue to work within the project. I hope you find I live up to your expectations of administrators. Best, Risker (talk) 16:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Ditto!
 , just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

FA?
Yikes, you really think it's ready for FAC? I'm such a wuss about these things. Are you allowed to just list an article as a GA, or does it have to go through GAN? Either way, it's very exciting, I look forward to seeing what happens.

Hey, can you add stuff from this ref? I've apparently "reached my viewing limit" for this book, whatever that means, and it's got good stuff in there: [http://books.google.com/books?id=Q4haCU0cX14C&pg=PA10&dq=subcutaneous+emphysema&lr=&sig=C7DbMJOQmB-m1YgW6qchCU4bDl0} Schnyder P, Wintermark M (2000). Radiology of Blunt Trauma of the Chest. Berlin: Springer, 10–11. ISBN 3-540-66217-0.] It's in there as ref name="Schnyder00".

Be seeing you! delldot  talk  21:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey again, I feel like all the concerns being brought up at the FAC are valid, maybe we should withdraw the nom and work on them. I really don't feel like we'll be able to address the concerns within the allotted time frame, and I'm concerned about wasting the time of people who participate in FAC, they already do so much.  How about we take it down, find some of those reliable sources like the textbook Colin mentioned, and come back after the concerns have been addressed? I'm not having luck finding any good sources online, and it'll be a while before I can get to a medical library or anything.  I assume it's possible to withdraw them, right?   delldot   talk  19:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey again, thanks for handling the relisting. Was it OK how I handled that?  I thought I'd do it since with the FAC closed we might not get the feedback on that question.  Didn't mean to be a jerk about it or anything.  Peace,  delldot on a public computer   talk  02:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

My recent RfA
Thank you for supporting my RfA, which unfortunately didn't succeed. The majority of the opposes stated that I needed more experience in the main namespace and Wikipedia namespace and talk space, so that is what I will do. I have made a list and I hope I will be able to get through it. I will go for another RfA in about three month's time and I hope you will be able to support me then as well. If you have any other comments for me or wish to be notified when I go for another RfA, please leave them on my talk page. If you wish to nominate me for my next RfA, please wait until it has been about three months. I will not be checking back to this page so if you would like to comment or reply please use my talk page. Thanks again for participating in my RfA! ·Add§hore· T alk/C ont 06:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

My RfA
Thank you for your concern, but I think the most positive course of action would be to leave the RfA open until the proscribed end date. There are always more comments that people can make, and I would like to give as many people the opportunity to express their opinion as possible. After all, what harm could possibly come from leaving it open a bit longer? – PeeJay 19:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You raise a good point there, and of course there is always the danger of that, but we'll never know if we don't try. What I would really appreciate is a couple more questions to answer. – PeeJay 19:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
 Hello ! I'd like to leave a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully today (and to my surprise) with 83 supports, 4 opposes, and 2 neutral.

What I have taken back from my RFA is that I've perhaps been too robust in debate and I will endevour to improve upon that aspect of my usership. I would like to thank you again and state here that I will not let any of my fellow Wikipedian's down. Thanks again! --Jza84 | Talk  11:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

NEURO-stub
Hi - a stub template, category, or redirect which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha?  02:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that - you're right, of course, about neurology and neuroscience, but the latter term is broad enough that it's probable that most neurology stubs could be marked with it without causing too much controversy or loss of ability for editors to locate them (then again, what do I know - my specialist area was perception and psychophysics rather than the CNS itself :). In any case, you'll probably find the talk-page banner far more useful for your project than a stub type anyway. Grutness...wha?  01:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
