Email notification of watchlist changes
Thank you. Please explain (or point to explanation) how to get emails when pages I am watching are changed. I cannot get this to work. Shannock9 (talk) 16:39, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

EBM, Clinical epidemiology, WP:MED...
Hello Shannock9. Good to see your input on the EBM talk page, including your helpful prods for clarity. Your suggestion to start a dedicated Clinical Epidemiology page is a valid one, imo. Finding one's way around the ins and outs of Wikipedia isn't always easy, so please don't mind me suggesting that it could be more clinically effective to raise the query at WT:MED than on a disambiguation page! Besides, you might find WP:MED an interesting sort of place, perhaps... Best, —MistyMorn (talk) 20:25, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Misty for your kind words. I will not be able to do much on Wikipedia for about a week due to being on the road. So no-one should feel ignored. Nor of course should they wait for me before going bold - like reposting/highlighting my query on another page. I'll take a look at WT:MED sometime but I am a computer scientist interested in AI (hence the "concept net" angle) rather than a life sciences guru. But I'll help anyone remove POV while trying to preserve the essence of the notability. Shannock9 (talk) 16:51, 26 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your replies: Wikipedia (including WP:MED) can well use thoughtful guys like you, rather than self-styled gurus. Have a good trip, —MistyMorn (talk) 19:13, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
