G'day!
G'day there, Robotsintrouble, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!

We've got a few pages you might find helpful, such as: It's all best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down.
 * Our "five pillars"
 * The lowdown on editing
 * A detailed tutorial
 * Our house manual of style

If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh? Happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Trichloroethanol image
I just wanted to let you know that I replaced your image of the chemical structure of trichloroethanol with another that I created. The structure you drew had one too many carbon atoms. Thanks for your contributions to chemistry related articles; if you're interested, we would welcome participation at WikiProject Chemistry and WikiProject Chemicals. --Ed (Edgar181) 18:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello
I'm a newly registered user, so I am unfamiliar with uploading images. If I add a rationale to Image:Ffaamack.jpg and Image:Ffakkreuk.jpg, can I get rid of the disputed fair use tag? - Rts freak 07:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Can we keep it a secret between us about these images if I remove the tag? If we can't then plz don't tell anyone I suggested this otherwise I'll be hunted down and killed ;). Well thanks anyway, goodbye! Rts freak 08:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Invite to CLINMED et al.
I've noticed that you've been editing medicine related articles -- from your contributions and that your user page states you are a med student. We have a place where the medically minded people hang out: WikiProject "Clinical Medicine". You are invited to join or just browse the talk page, which is also known as the doctors' mess.

If your interests are in nephrology, radiology, GI or pre-clinical medicine-- there are projects specifically for those things.

If you're looking for info on how to do references see WP:CLINMED/Writing_medical_articles. I look forward to more of your edits. Nephron T|C 01:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a pleasure to help people learning the stuff they need to become effective. :)
 * I don't really know enough about medicine yet to join the full clinical medicine project...
 * You don't need to know anything. It is just a place where the medically inclined people hang-out.
 * I've seen the project sites before but haven't figured out an effective way to turn that into good contributions, as opposed to just editing my own way.
 * The project sites are for coordinating edits and discussions. If there is disagreement with an editor you think is full of hooey, it is a place to recruit back-up/ask for comment.  Seeing how you're a first year... based on another post-- there is an anatomy project.  You might find the discussion about naming interesting... if you're in the mindst of studying anatomy.
 * Two little questions: Why do some people add spaces on both sides of their headings (the ones you make with equals signs)? Does it change anything?
 * The Manual of Style doesn't specify how it should be done and I don't think it matters. So, do it however you like. Nephron  T|C 02:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Howdy
It's great to meet you. From your comments above, it sounds like you're as timid as I was when I first started on Wikipedia. No worries, that'll pass. :-) Happy wiki'ing, and if there's anything I can help out with, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, David Iberri (talk) 01:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Eyes
Hi there; In the UK the spelling is Hemianopia, which is to say, without the "s". I have, naturally, not touched the article. Is this a UK/USA spelling difference, of which there are a multitude?--Anthony.bradbury 22:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It appears to be one of those.. and you are quite astute to note it, since I have now discovered that we are in need of merging several articles. See Bitemporal heminopia and Bitemporal hemianopsia! Is the spelling "Bitemporal heminopia" correct? (note the lack of an "s" and an "a" in the former article title). Robotsintrouble 22:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * In this neck of the woods (UK) the correct spelling is "hemianopia". With an "a", without the "s". But if the US spelling is with the "s" then fine; wiki policy is to leave unaltered UK/US spelling variations. But "heminopia" is wrong everywhere. I will go and fix it.--Anthony.bradbury 23:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Right, done that. Before we start looking at merging two quite similar articles, could you please confirm that in the USA "hemianopsia" (with the s) is the correct spelling?--Anthony.bradbury 23:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I've found that this may not be a USA/UK difference, though I assumed it was because I was working off a gross anatomy noteset with hemianopsia. See the following links:

http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/PublicWebsite/public_rnib003656.hcsp http://www.umassmed.edu/strokestop/glossary.html
 * So it appears to simply be an alternate name in both the USA and UK, not necessarily a regional difference. Robotsintrouble 23:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, and well researched. I qualified in 1968, and it may be that the usage has shifted a bit in the last 38 years!--Anthony.bradbury 20:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Limb bud creation
And now, 5 minutes later, I'm still laughing at that page's initial edit labeling it a "stub":) DMacks 20:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know what the "stub" edit designation means...it's when there's just a tiny start of an article about something, not quite fully developed or expressed into its mature form, etc. Kinda like a limb bud is to its eventual limb? Awfergeeddit, maybe I'm over-tired. DMacks 20:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Rain day
No problem, everybody's got to start somewhere, eh? In case you didn't know, there are some pretty easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions at WP:AFD (I can never remember exactly what to do, so I always find myself going back there, too). If you already knew that, no problem. See you around! Heimstern Läufer 03:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Listing
Hi,

I'd like to make some promotion for the Medicine WikiProjects again, as Nephron did before here. They're useful places where you can ask questions, as you did about the pictures of your dean. Consider listing yourself as a participant, which will allow to contact if someone needs somebody that fits a specific profile, e.g. related to medical biochemistry or something, in your case.

--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the projects!


 * If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy!

Merging metabolism
I like your efforts to try an merge to gether all these rag tag articles into something more coherent. this is something i have been meaning to attempt for a while. Feel free to ask for support or advice as your get going. Another possible idea for a template is the metabolism one based on the italian wiki. See a copy of it below. This too might be useful here in the English wikipedia. David D. (Talk) 18:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Although we do already have a metabolism template Template:Metabolism, we might be able to combine their style and content ideas. David D. (Talk) 18:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! Good work on the metabolism articles! ive been telling myself id do something about them for ages... As you can see the wikiproject is very young and a huge amount of work needs to be done, dont feel bad about ripping apart and rearranging the templates into something more useful. You said elsewhere you didnt know enough about the wiki syntax of template, so (very basically) a template used with the tag is found at Template:name, just edit that page to edit the template, hopefully that helps. If you have any questions about templates feel free to ask me on my user page, i regard myself a bit of an expert! - Zephyris Talk 20:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

O.K. Corral
Anything works from Clanton's left, agreed. But if the attackers are facing squarely off, which I can't imagine them not doing in the circumstances described, it just doesn't work. Also, Billy, if he uses his right arm first to fire with, is going to have right side toward attackers, if anything. Again, no way for a bullet to hit his inside-thumb part of wrist and exit at the back, behind the hand. Not with hand up in surrender. And by the way, we seem to share a lot of the same interests. Welcome to Wikipedia. If I find you editing the JFK assassination pagek it will REALLY get strange.

Gunfight at the O.K.Corral
Regarding your recent edit, I'm curious about the details of your edit summary. You edited the article text to say: "Billy Clanton was shot through the right arm, close to the wrist joint (Keefe testified the bullet passed through the arm from 'inside to outside,' entering the arm close to the base of the thumb, and exiting 'on the back of the wrist diagonally' with the latter wound larger)" With this in the edit summary: "Difficult for bullet to go from thumb to outside of arm with arm in any 'up' position. This becomes important to final Spicer verdict)" I'm not an expert on this particular gunfight or the Spicer verdict you mention, but if you mean to say that the injury would be difficult to sustain if Clanton were in the act of surrender with arms raised, I disagree.. It's difficult to explain using text but if Clanton had his right hand raised that injury seems entirely consistent... especially if the attacker was firing from Clanton's left.

 * Hi, pleased to meet you too... but I don't follow your logic. First, the fog of combat and time make this discussion academic without a better record of the original autopsy records. Then again, I'm something of an academic so I don't mind a little intellectual exercise.
 * In an attempt to show the anatomical contradiction in your argument, let us assume for a moment that the fighters were indeed in a standoff, and that Clayton's pistol was pointed at his assailants. In this posture, the only angles of attack from which a bullet could enter his inner arm and exit through the wrist are at least slightly to the attacker's left (unless Doc Holliday called in aerial support). While this by itself is completely plausible given the close range of the gunfight (mostly 10 feet or less according to the article), the resulting injury track would likely travel towards his elbow before exiting.


 * This matters because of one detail: I note that you've changed the wording of the original text slightly: according to the quote, the entry wound was at the inside (ventral/palmar surface) of his arm, not his wrist as you just said. This is in contrast to the exit wound, which is specifically described as being from the back of his wrist. If Clayton were pointing his pistol anywhere near his attackers, it should be the other way around-- entry wound closer to the hand (distal end of the arm), exit closer to the elbow (proximal end of the arm).
 * In order for the wound to exit from the back of the wrist after entering the inner arm near the thumb, one of the following is true:
 * One or more of our many assumptions is wildly incorrect (most likely)
 * The attacker was almost directly to Clayton's left (or to the left of where his pistol was pointed)
 * Clayton had thrown up his hands, in which case this wound is completely plausible: he would have turned his hands, and thus the inside surface of his arms, towards his assailaints. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robotsintrouble (talk • contribs) 08:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC).


 * Back in the bad old days there often were no autopsies-- certainly not full ones-- and there was none here. The doctor acting as temporary Coroner in the case, Dr. Harry M. Mathews, only describes the fatal wounds (and then only from superficial exam of the stripped bodies), and ignores the wrist altogether. The ONLY description we have of Billy's wrist is that of Thomas Keefe, a witness and carpenter, who felt the wounds on the dead Billy, and even poked a finger into one to the bone (rather in the matter of Thomas the Apostle, one supposes) to see for himself. He testifies in the Spicer hearing. Nobody else says anything about the matter until Judge Spicer declares in this judgement that "William Clanton was wounded on the wrist of the right hand on the first fire and thereafter used his pistol with the left. The wound is not such as could have been received with the hands thrown up, and the wound received by Thomas McLaury was such as could not be received with his hands on his coat lapels." Regard this, Spicer had seen during the trial a demo, and the only document we have of this reads exactly: "In response to shot on wrist: 'It went from the inside to the outside.' Course of ball was diagnonal across the wrist [here witness illustrates upon the arm of Mr. Fitch, the direction in which the ball passed through the arm of Billy Clanton, by showing that the ball entered nearly in line with the base of the thumb, and emerged on the back of the wrist diagonally.] Says the orifice on the outside of the wrist was the largest. Did not see any powder burn on Billy Clanton's body or clothing.'" So far as I know, that's all the info history has for us. Except that we know the demo apparently convinced the judge. From our description we can put this in various ways-- obviously in anatomic position the base of thumb is lateral with arm down and there's no way to get a bullet into it except to rotate the forearm somewhat inward so the thumbside (what we usually call the lateral side of the forearm) is more forward, so it can receive a bullet. You can do that easily with the arm down and rotated 45 degrees inward, naturally. It's very hard to get into that position (thumb forward, ventral surface diagonally exactly behind, to allow a posterior exit on the ventral/back wrist) with the arm UP. Because you really have to crank that arm around to get the thumb in front, with the arm raised. That's what the judge apparently concluded. We have only verbal description. Finally, I might add that the bullet may well have hit Billy while he was in the act of drawing his pistol from a holster, which would for a moment have put him in exactly the right position to get a bullet above the thumb and out through the back of the wrist. Try it. S  B Harris 19:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm envisioning a broad principles article that avoids "carbon counting" and tries to explain to the reader what is generally true of metabolism in all organisms and what approaches different types of organisms take to solving the common metabolic problems. Help would be much appreciated. TimVickers 01:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, all done. TimVickers 05:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Good stuff you added last night. Should we use US or British English in this article? I'm going to edit the Xenobiotics section, thought I'd warn you to avoid edit conflicts. TimVickers 22:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is true that feeding acetyl-CoA to the TCA cycle doesn't increase its rate, see this full text abstract paper for measurement of increase in TCA rate upon feeding fatty acids in heart. Were you meaning that fatty acids cannot replace glucose or TCA intermediates, since they are not a substrate for gluconeogenesis and humans don't have a glyoxylate cycle? TimVickers 22:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This stems from a lecture point in my biochemistry class. Yes, I mean that the presence of glucose is necessary for fatty acid oxidation (in humans, at least) without the formation of ketone bodies. It's important that pyruvate from glycolysis doesn't necessarily become acetyl-coA because the carbon in acetyl coa can never be used for gluconeogenesis. I have very little experience with organisms other than animals and common pathogens due to my medical training, but yes as I understand it it is due to the lack of a glyoxylate cycle. While acetate from acetyl-coa can drive the krebs cycle, it can never increase the quantity of oxaloacetate.
 * Thanks for the copyedits. I often waffle by saying "many cells" if I don't know for sure that every single known cell does something. I know very little about cyanobacteria and bugs that eat sulfide.
 * You're making too many edits for me to keep up with every one, but I like the direction the article is taking. It's already far better than it was, and we have a lot more work cut out for us. Robotsintrouble 00:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
