JDC
Hi Tom. Amazing you've found time to edit Wikipedia despite your JDC work. Please stick around. Have a look at WikiProject Clinical medicine. JFW | T@lk  03:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Tdolphin 05:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Well, I thought someone ought to try and fill in the blanks wherever possible. I'm in a position to know as much of the answer as is currently available (although it's an evolving area) so it seemed worth putting in fifteen minutes to put it online here. I'm slightly unnerved that you know the position I hold, since I don't recall mentioning my deputy chairmanship of JDC. I hope you don't think I have presented a biased article; I did try to present both the hopes and fears regarding MMC, in addition to bald facts about what is expected to happen in practice.

Don't worry Tom. It's just that the BMA is a small place :-). I was not suggesting in any form that your edits were not NPOV. Have a look at Talk:General Medical Council and the interesting fireworks taking place over there. Informed users are indeed very important to Wikipedia. JFW | T@lk  16:01, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Tdolphin 14:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC) If I wanted to spend all day reading opinions about the GMC (and the BMA for that matter) I could just log into doctors.net.uk for hours of fun. Oh yes. :-) Okay, I'll bite. Do I know you? Tom

Australian architectural styles
Reference your recent edit to the Australian architectural styles article. I have no objection to the edit per se but just wished to correct any misapprehension that the assertion "There were no indigenous craftsmen" was linked to "Terra Nullius" - it was not intended to read that way nor should it have been in the context. It is my understanding that the European settlers were hoping to employ Indigenous Australians but had no success, there was as you have phrased it "no indigenous architectural style or tradition", there were also apparently no skills (and probably no inclination) in the indigenous population for building lasting structures.--A Y  Arktos 00:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Medical careers
Thanks for your help with the box - it is something of a minefield working through the way things are changing - do please look at WikiProject National Health Service - all assistance gratefully received ---Smerus 21:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
