Ha. Interesting - your point on Ayn Rand. Seems logical. I assume by the way, that, having no user page, you may be from Rheims, France? As in or The Ingoldsby Legends. Attracted to bring gew-gaws (today: bling). I have a pseudonym, too: J. O. Note (Johnny One...) Hmmm Carrionluggage 15:52, 25 January 2006 (UTC) I did not really think you were from Rheims - just thought you might have gotten the name from that story. I am a Friend (Quaker), though  I teeter sometimes towards a more agnostic view. I put in the fact that I am a Christian mainly because those pests in the Intelligent Design community seem to think all scientists are atheists. Quakers do not have churches - they have Meetinghouses. Best regards, Carrionluggage 19:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

There's a reason it says "Please leave this line alone." It's fine that you're carrying out experiments, but please do it below the heading. Thanks. --Mr. L e fty Talk to me! 19:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

6-OXO
Hi Jack Daw,

In response to your comment regarding androstenetrione, the evidence I've seen for its rising popularity is admittedly sketchy. From what I've seen on internet bodybuilding forums, since the US prohormone ban 4-AT has been used as a 'natural' way to increase testosterone presumably for those not comfortable with full-blown steroid use. It's also used as a component of post-cycle therapy

If you want to modify or even remove that statement I wouldn't object since I don't have any solid references to give you. --Bk0 (Talk) 01:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it deserves at least a mention in the supplements page because in the absence of prohormones it is a significantly used substance (not just the '6-OXO' branded product but also bulk powder and generic capsuled supplements).


 * The studies seem to show that it works (see the androstenetrione article for references). In my experience (I only tried it once) I did experience markedly oily skin and increased libido which leads me to believe that it does increase test levels. I did not, however, notice any strength or mass increases beyond what I had been getting before. I think that for younger men with normal testosterone levels it isn't cost-effective when used by itself, for older men or for steroid users looking for a tamoxifen replacement it might be valuable. --Bk0 (Talk) 02:15, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Medicine WikiProject
Hi Jack,

I've noticed you edited medical articles: you might be interested in joining WikiProject Medicine, a collaborative effort of Wikipedias to improve articles related to medicine? No medical expertise required!

 * Hi again,


 * Well, there are many ways to contribute: just browse around in the project and you'll automatically find something that you might be interested in. The box to the right has some important pages. There are actually a bunch of Medicine-related WikiProjects, but WP:MED is the main project, with a subdivision in clinical (WP:CLINMED) and preclinical (WP:PRECLINMED), and further subdivisions.


 * I'm on WikiHoliday, if you have any questions you can also ask one of the many friendly people on the list of participants, were you can list yourself!

Weight training
I've finished as much of the merger of weight training as possible, I'd love comments. Mostly what I did was take out the info that was duplicated in strength training and tried to highlight how weight training differs from the other types of strength training. Help!

BTW, you had this added to your talk page 'cause you voted on the merger of WT, ST, RT. WLU

I would recommend simply using an SVG-capable web browser such as Opera, Firefox or Safari. Alternatively try the Adobe SVG Viewer. --ADeveria 14:39, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of A Life Apart: Hasidism in America


A tag has been placed on A Life Apart: Hasidism in America requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &mdash; RHaworth 20:45, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

A new medical resource
Please note that there is a new freely accessible medical resource, MedMerits (to which I'm a medical advisor) on neurologic disorders. A discussion on ELs to MedMerits and medical ELs in general is currently in progress ("Wikipedia and its relationship to the outside world"). Presto54 (talk) 18:32, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Medicine
Hi I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page. Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders. Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:16, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration. Cheers, Ocaasit &#124; c 20:31, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
 * Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
 * If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
