Gordon Zubrod
Hi Renato, I've written an outline for Gordon Zubrod, but there's obviously a lot more to write on this eminent fellow. Do you have access to more biographical info. Do you know why the ECOG performance status is called after him, despite him not having contributed to the 1982 paper? JFW | T@lk  10:52, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hello Wolff, I have completed with some additional information, but this guy has really hard to find info in the commonly available online sources. But not so bad as Robin Coombs. Could you help me with this one? Regarding ECOG's assessment tool, I don't know. Everyone in the field assumes that he was the leader. User:Rsabbatini 14 July 2005.

Mobile phone radiation and health
I saw your edits to this article. I posted a comment on the talk page a while ago about the existence of well-established non-thermal effects, I wonder if you can respond to that? Overall, I feel that the article is strongly POV because it is entirely written from the perspective that any concerns are completely unfounded. That is not the case. While there may be no convincing epidemiological studies, there are lots of in-vitro and animal-model studies which show significant physiological effects, some potentially harmful, from fields similar in frequency and modulation, and and as weak as or weaker than, cell-phone fields. These effects are conclusively established to be nonthermal, contrary to what is prominently claimed in this article. I would like to work with you to bring this article to some sort of NPOV state. I guess I can write for the opposite POV and you can check my edits and make sure I don't go too far. ObsidianOrder 00:14, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, please go ahead with this. My approach in writing and editing is maintaining neutrality. It is a very extensive literature and very, very controversial and hard to summarize, because you must review also all the failures to duplicate and the negative results with the same experimental conditions. I wonder if you will do a better job than WHO's special committe on this, whose results I have used throughout the article. BTW, I am specialized in this subject and frequently invited to speak about it to frightened communities around Latin America. I am just departing to Ecuador by the end of the month for a tour to 6 cities, lecturing on the subject of this article. Best regards, User:Rsabbatini, 14 July 2005.
 * Thanks. I went through and fixed some of the wording, have a look.  I tried to do it as a series of small edits with an explanation of each one in the comment.  I also posted a todo in the talk page.  I also specialize in this, I guess I have a slightly different perspective since I mostly work with cellular-level experimental models.  I don't think the existence of non-thermal effects is controversial in itself (as it happens I do have a library of ~2000 journal articles on that exact topic) but only whether (and when) they pose a real health risk.  I think the difference between the very dramatic effects that are seen in simple in-vitro systems and the mild responses on the level of the whole organism are basically due to the fact that orgianisms have pretty robust homeostasis mechanisms.  Weak EM fields (usually) act like a generic stressor, but that can interact with other things in interesting ways.  ObsidianOrder 05:34, 16 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Very nice to know that about you. Welcome aboard! I essentially agree with you regarding the robustness of homeostatic and immune systems. Every day we get probably hundreds of thousands of new damaged cells in our skin, blood, etc., due to extrinsic factors such as UV radiation, chemical carcinogenesis, etc. Fortunately our defense systems get rid of it all the time. But only 30% of all people take any precautionary measures against the sun, and less than 1% will stop eating their daily ration of chemicals in foodstuff or quit smoking, right? So scientists must be socially responsible and do not make a scare out of a very, very, very marginal non-thermal effect which does not even remotely, by several orders of magnitude, approach other risks we are subject to and eagerly accept it. Everything revolves around risk acceptance by the public, do you agree? We are talking here not about objective, neutral, rigorous science. This should be let to science periodicals. We are talking about public understanding of science (another specialization area of mine, I wrote that article too). Health concerns about cellphone radiation is a very interesting case for public understanding of science. I see Wikipedia as a public layman's encyclopedia, not a specialized textbook. Best regards. Renato M.E. Sabbatini.


 * Well, I understand your point, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I think EM fields are somewhat similar to where smoking was in the 50's - it was "generally regarded as safe" and very common but there were a few people who were doing work that impled that perhaps it was not really safe.  Well, let's just say they were not treated well.  Similarly, the people who started showing strong effects of EM fields at levels as low as 1mW/cm^2 in the 70's and 80's were not treated well either (Robert Becker, for example).  I should hope we are beyond that point now, but not yet close to the point where everyone knows about and understands the risks.  I might mention that there is no level of EM fields you can point to and say "this is too low to have any biological effects" (and is therefore completely safe), since effects have been shown all the way down to 10-16 W/cm^2, and there are plenty of cases in which biological systems detect single quanta of EM radiation.  I don't see my job as getting the public to accept any particular risks or adopt new technology.  I'm happy to simply provide accurate information in a reasonably accessible but not dumbed-down form, and let everyone decide for themselves.  Also I don't see such a clear distinction between scientist and "layman" since everyone is a specialist in at least one field, and they can learn about other fields as they need (I know of "laymen", for example, who are more knowledgeable than any medical doctor but only about one specific disease that someone in their family has).  You're right, Wikipedia is definitely not a specialized textbook, but it can start as a "layman's" (I would rather say "general-purpose") encyclopedia and sort of go halfway - ideally, perhaps, reading a textbook should be possible after perusing the relevant article.  You say it's "not about objective, neutral, rigorous science" - what else, if not that?  ObsidianOrder 21:28, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Charles Darwin's illness
Firstly well done on contributing lots to Charles Darwin's illness a few days ago. However,, the site of whose very name gives me the jumps, has been having a go at editing Charles Darwin's illness. Quite what he has done is beyond casual examination, though he does seem to genuinely want to contribte and follow NPOV. However it requires I think some peer review by your dear self. Dunc|&#9786; 21:39, 18 July 2005 (UTC)


 * It really spoiled the article with bad editing, redundant citations, typographical errors and slightly biased toward the psycho hypotheses. It caused me a lot of work to put it back in a reasonable shape again. I hope I did my best. Thanks for the kudo and the tip. User:Rsabbatini. 18 July 2005.

Image:Guanabara-bay.jpg
Image:Guanabara-bay.jpg has no information on its source. It will be deleted if source is not specified on its description page. Click the above link to reach the description page.

When uploading images please always edit the image description page and do two things:
 * 1) State the source of the image (created yourself, the address of a web page or another source.)
 * 2) State the copyright. The easiest way to list the copyright is to use a copyright tag. The most important tags are &#x007B;&#x007B;GFDL&#x007D;&#x007D;, &#x007B;&#x007B;PD&#x007D;&#x007D;, and &#x007B;&#x007B;fairuse&#x007D;&#x007D;. GFDL is for images that you create yourself. PD is for public domain images (pre-1923 in most cases). Fair use is for copyrighted images that we can use under the fair use rules in the USA.

Without proper source and copyright information, images will eventually be deleted! (SEWilco 17:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC))

Quintiliano H. de Mesquita
Hi Renato, someone posted Quintiliano H. de Mesquita. I removed reference of his "myogenic theory" from myocardial infarction as this is wildly at odds with the present paradigm. Could you assess if QH is notable? JFW | T@lk  15:49, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

César Lattes
Small question. I notice that in your (excellent) write-up of César Lattes you describe Lattes as the son of "Italian Jewish immigrants". I was wondering what your sources for this are, and if you have any more details. The Italian Jewish community has always been very small (under 50,000 people), but has generated some other successful academics, so I would be very interested to find out if this is true.

I found one site in English that includes Lattes in a list of Brazilian Jews, but such lists often contain mistakes. I also found that 'Lattes' can be an Italian Sephardic Jewish surname. However, I couldn't find anything more concrete in either English or Portuguese.

Many thanks, Udzu 15:12, 15 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Having dug around a bit more, it appears that Lattes has a Jewish paternal grandfather, but no more ("Já o meu pai era filho de casamento misto de judeu com católica e livre-pensador." - ). However, he does seem to partly identify as Jewish ("Questionado sobre sua religião, Lattes se disse ao mesmo tempo católico apostólico romano, muçulmano e cristão ortodoxo - mas principalmente judeu." - ) -Udzu


 * Thanks for clarifyng the matter. Practically all Lattes' biographies list him as having a Jewish line in his ancestry. Of course, he was no practicant. --R.Sabbatini 13:41, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Your autobiographical entry
Purely as a matter of form, I have nominated your own entry for AFD. I wish to emphasize that this is no disparagement of you; I know nothing of you, or your field, and will happily admit as much. I only have nominated because I am firm believer in Wikipedia's guideline against autobiographies, and yours has apparently never faced review. I believe every article that is substantially autobiographical ought to remain only with the consensus of the community. An unreviewed autobiography is a dangerous thing in a neutral encyclopedia. I don't search out autobiographies, but I will nominate one that has not previously been nominated if I happen across it.

Actually, I fully expect your article to remain, and will be happy if it does. As I say, this is for the sake of form. If the article has been nominated for afd/vfd before, I apologize, but such was not indicated on the discussion page (a failure that would ultimately be the fault of the old closing administrator.

Template talk:Did you know
Hi, just noticed your suggestion on the above - you seem to have missed appending your signature using 4 ~'s - thought I'd let you know so that you can append your signature now. btw, on the Global intellectuals poll article (which is a good contribution), you've mentioned Bono. It links to the singer Bono. I'm wondering if the link was intended to lead to Edward de Bono. Anyways, thought I shd point this to you. regards, --Gurubrahma 14:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC):Gee, you are right. Bono could hardly classify as an intellectual, I really found it strange.

Brazil
hi, sorry for interruption, could you please see to the NPOV of exclusion of Brazil from this article. It was there until a month ago, and some guys keep excluding South America and Brazil from what I believe is its just place (and I am not alone, since these previous edits were there long before, to include Brazil). thanks Perroot 21:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Minimally invasive
Hello, some time ago you added a fair bit of content to Minimally invasive. As you may be aware, we are currently trying to improve Wikipedia's verifiability and reliability by making sure articles cite the sources used to create them. Do you remember what websites, books, or other sources you used to add content to Minimally invasive? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? See WP:CITET for some quick templates to use for citing sources. Thanks! P.S. I'm really glad to see PhD's contributing to the encyclopedia. We need more experts :) --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 02:05, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Broca
Dr. Sabbatini: I've made some edits to Paul Pierre Broca that I'd like you to briefly look over. I haven't changed much, but I believe it is all still accurate. I noticed there's a quotation on that page about Broca: "generous, compassionate and kind, with unbreakable fortitude and honesty, venerated by all. He never made an enemy and never lost a friend. He was noble and a Christian follower". This is an uncited quotation. Is your book, The History of Psychosurgery an appropriate source for this quotation? Cheers! Semiconscious ( talk  · home) 08:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC):Thanks for the collaboration, I found it OK.

Carlos Chagas Filho
Senhor Sabbatini: In your recent addition of Carlos Chagas Filho to the List of neuroscientists you alphabetized him by "Chagas" rather than "Filho". Is this appropriate for Brazilian names? S e  miconscious  •  talk  20:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC):Yes, it is correct, of course. Chagas is the surname, and Filho means Junior in Portuguese. So, I gather that putting all Juniors in the J letter is as wrong as putting all Filhos in the F letter. By the way, two other endnames, Sobrinho (nephew) and Neto (grandson) are also used in Portuguese and they should not be used for alphabetizing, either. Best regards. --200.213.105.34 14:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC):Yes, Filho means Son or Junior, in Portuguese. So it should not be used for alphabetizing. Sobrinho (nephew) and Neto (grandson) are also used in the same way in Brazilian and Portuguese surnames. I will write an article on that. Thanks. --200.213.105.34 15:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Please see Portuguese surnames. --R.Sabbatini 23:54, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Nicely done! I suspected it was similar to the Spanish tradition (e.g., Santiago Ramón y Cajal), but I felt it prudent to double check. Cheers! S  e  miconscious  •  talk  00:32, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Olá
Olá, Renato. Sou um grande admirador do teu trabalho no movimento cético brasileiro, além de sua figura como um renomado neurocientista, e o encontrei por acaso aqui. Sou administrador da Wikipédia portuguesa e gostaria de saber se tu tens conta por lá. Se não tiver eu gostaria, por curiosidade, de saber porque gostas mais de contribuir por aqui. Até mais e um grande abraço. -- Fernando S. Aldado 18:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC):Olá, muito obrigado pela mensagem. Sim, tenho conta lá, e as vezes faço pequenas contribuições, como interwikis. Mas não tenho intenção de contribuir sistematicamente, pois acho que o mundo da lingua portuguesa tem pouca coisa na Wikipedia em inglês e precisa mais gente. Obrigado pelos elogios. --R.Sabbatini 11:50, 18 March 2006 (UTC):Ah, obrigado pela resposta, só que da próxima vez, responda em minha talk page, porque senão eu não iria ver.


 * Bem, um dos meus projetos futuros é criar um artigo sobre tua pessoa na Wikipédia lusófona, assim como a de outras figuras brasileiras como Salvador Nogueira e o Daniel Sottomaior. Criei esses dias um sobre o Marcelo Gleiser, se quiser dar uma olhada veja em Marcelo Gleiser. Até mais e continue firme. -- Fernando S. Aldado 03:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Olá, Renato. Desculpe incomodá-lo novamente. Caso um dia fique sem assunto para editar por aqui, tem um artigo interessante que a Wikipédia inglesa não tem, veja pt:Museu da Língua Portuguesa. -- Fernando S.

Hello, I'm a French contributer. I see you put two pictures in the article France Antarctique, and I would be able to put it in the French article I created about this. Could you explain me how can I do ? Thanks you for your help. --Bsm15 00:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Robin Coombs
Do you have any biographical material on Robin Coombs? With his impact on immunology this Cambridge chap certainly deserves his own page. JFW | T@lk  00:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Biographical material on him, strangely, is hard to find. I have added a short (little more than a stub) on him (see Robert Royston Amos Coombs, that's his real name, "Robin" seems to be a sobriquet). I hope you like it. User:Rsabbatini

The fact that he has now died has helped. Oddly, the initial article suggested he trained in Scandinavia, yet the Lancet obituary this week places his training in Scotland! I've changed it around and referenced it. JFW | T@lk  14:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Al-kindi.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Al-kindi.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 13:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize and Moro Islamic Liberation Front
You recently added the Moro Islamic Liberation Front article to the winners of the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize category. Just to inform you, it was the Moro National Liberation Front who won the prize, not the MILF. The MILF are a group who separated from the MNLF in the 1980s since the MNLF was considered too weak and was trying to make peace. The MILF are a fairly violent group listed as a terrorist organisation in many countries and are unlikely to be winning any peace prizes in the near future. I went ahead and moved the category link to the MNLF article, but just thought I'd let you know about the difference between the two groups in case you're thinking of doing any further work on the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize. -- Daduzi  talk  21:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Cast your eye over Psychopathy?
Hi...have admired your work on since I first saw it years ago...there is much more mention of it in Psychopathy and a couple of articles linked from there that you should look over.

There was quite a lot of discussion on the talk page on the topic of Phineas Gage and related, I would really appreciate it if you would expand and set straight where appropriate along with any other thoughts you might have. Thanks --Zeraeph 17:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Fratelli Endrizzi Wineries
As the author of this page - how notable is this winery? I don't get a lot of Google hits on it, and I'm afraid that looking at the article, it read a little like an advertisement. Perhaps you could add some links to material that would verify notability? Otherwise, this looks like just another family winery, to me at least. (I'm not a wine person, I'm afraid!)

3D Printer?

Image:Butantan-institute.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Butantan-institute.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link].

About Carbonari
I did dare to formulate the doubt about Carbonari coz by simply reasoning, before reading the Carbonari-data, one realized that this person only was a politician. Very surely there isn't any evidence of some real work on math on his behalf. But sure his political friend will proctect them selves

Sorry to be too bitter, but we latin-americans are tyred of the abuse of pseudo-intellectuals that only spoil his own peoples...


 * That's OK. Dr Carbonari is not a politician, he is dean of one of the largest Brazilian universities, an educator, and a community leader. He is very influential, has received several awards. If you took care to read his resume, his degrees are in mathematical education. So, he has not contributed to mathematics per se, but this is not an obstacle for his inclusion. --R.Sabbatini 18:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Bothropic venom
Hi, Dr. Sabbatini! This year I've been quite busy writing, rewriting and generally ordering everything in the Viperidae section. Today I was working on the Bothrops article when I discovered that you added the venom section to it back in December 2004. It looks very nice and all, but unfortunately it has no reference(s), which is very important to me. I know it's been almost two years since you wrote it, but can you perhaps remember where this information comes from and supply me with one or more references?

An image you uploaded, Image:Crest-FMRP.jpg, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal.

Zizi Possi
I have added a "" template to the article Zizi Possi, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. 172.129.204.135 20:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
