I would appreciate if you could assist me in understanding the rules Wikipedia uses. I am an expert in anaerobic infections and other infectious diseases. I have blog sites on Anaerobic infections and sinusitis that contain important information. Can I use my blogs as reference or additional links? Since these blogs are mine and contain only my writings there is no copyright issue involved. I would appreciate your guidance. thanks I Brook MD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dribrook (talk • contribs) 21:13, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
You [reverted a gf IP edit for want of a ref. A scholar search on "King-Devick Neurology" finds the primary study xhe mentioned here. To me, it looks pretty straightforward, but it is recent and primary. Do you think it should go in? LeadSongDog come howl! 17:54, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey, James, could you take a look at the sections "Neoplasm" and "Drug" in the eosinophilia article? I've started working there again, I and it would be great if I could get some input. Thanks Ronk01 talk 00:56, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
He's at it again, twice restoring all of the information on medication in the last two days. Should we go to WP:ANI? Thanks. Cresix (talk) 03:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Would you consider some username disambiguation re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Docjames ?
Also, not sure if you're a signpost reader, but this article is spot on for why Template:Invitation to edit makes a world of sense: . And the study associated with the article is here: -- Ocaasi (talk) 03:40, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
True, but he's been active in policy debates, like the one about using WikiWix for archiving. So, technically he gets the name, since it's his actual name. That said, they're not 'exact' duplicates, so there's no absolute conflict or need to change anything. But you could do some easy things short of abandoning your nickname to help disambiguate. You could:
You could also ask for some other opinions at WP:UN. Here's the relevant policy section: Wikipedia:Username_policy#Similar_usernames. Apparently there's a {this user} template. Or you could ask User:Docjames if he has any ideas.
Any of the above. Yes, people who think we've done a good job communicating how this thing works don't realize how people think Wikipedia works. They think someone just put it here! Then again, I feel reluctant asking anyone to edit until we have a proper WYSIWYG editor. Otherwise, there's something cruel about wishing that learning curve one any newcomer.

The caption below the picture of the CT scan says that it is a right sided pnumonia seen on the left side of the image. What I can see is the vertebrae and ribs at the bottom of the screan, therefore I belive that this is actually left sided pnumonia on the left side of the image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.101.72 (talk) 02:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
The Wikipedia Signpost Would like to interview you with regards to WikiProject Medicine. If interested, could you reply on my talkpge? Thanks, Thomas888b (Say Hi) 20:36, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
I was trying to figure out how to leave a message on the Pneumonia page, so I decided to message you. I was wondering if in the complications section, pericarditis should be mentioned as well. I had pneumonia and that was one of my resulting complications (I do have Marfan Syndrome) so I came on here to learn something about it and didn't find anything connecting the two. Thank you for your time. Tanya.

This message is going out to all of the Online Ambassadors who are, or will be, serving as mentors this term.
Hi there! This is just a friendly reminder to check in on what your mentees are doing. If they've started making edits, take a look and help them out or do some example fixes for them, if they need it. And if they are doing good, let them know it!
If you aren't mentoring anyone yet, it looks like you will be soon; at least one large class is asking us to assign mentors for them, and students in a number of others haven't yet gotten to asking ambassadors to be their mentors, but may soon. --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey James. One of the classes working with the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, Jonathan Obar's Media and Telecommunication Policy, is working in small groups and would like us to assign a mentor to each group (rather than having students request the mentors they'd like, as other classes are doing).
I invite you to sign on as the mentor for one or more groups, especially if any of the topics catch your interest. To sign up, go to the course page and add yourself as "Mentor: you" in the section for that group. They students and/or professor or campus ambassadors should be cleaning things up soon to list all the usernames for each group and add a few more groups. Once you know who the students are in the group, you can leave them each a quick introduction to let them know you'll be mentoring their group.
Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 19:09, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
I lost the source of what I was going to change and I messed up with the text that was already there, I will correct it when I find again the right sources. Thank you for correcting it back. 190.31.195.73 (talk) 13:46, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Your link was left as a reference for health effects of wind turbines. Do you have any information? Briconer (talk) 17:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
There is numerous websites talking of the noise effects, having it constant, causing sleep depravation, headaches, and nausea, even eventual long term effects with hearing. There are also many claims of the flicker effect pertaining to headaches, even seizures in extreme cases (which I do have a family member that suffers from epilepsy).

Please reconsider use of Pending Changes on Gout, given the ongoing RfC on use of PC, and the notice regarding its use, and...well, the fact that there is no consensus for using it, beyond a trial period of 2 months which was from June 2010.

Hate to bug you about this again, but when you looked a the Eosinophilia article, did you notice any glaring errors or issues? I'm considering putting some more work into it and putting it up for GA. Ronk01 talk 17:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. If you are still acting as Tenmei's mentor you might want to look at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Tenmei. Taemyr (talk) 08:23, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes. Even if nothing can come from debating points there, at least this invitation is delivered with the best of intentions and good faith expectations. Kind regards. My76Strat 08:39, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Please take a look at this project page and see if you can be a mentor to one of the many Areas of Study. If you can, please put your name in the "Online Mentor" area of the Area of Study of your choice and then contact the students you will be working with.

Hi dear Dr James. Thanks for the message about the epistaxis in HHT. I am new to the Wikipedia and wonder what have I done wrong. I still want to contribute. Thanks for suggesting me the right way to do that. Best wishes, Seemu (talk) 07:10, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Greetings,
My name is Jeffrey S. Ford, I served as a Combat Engineer in the 82nd Airborne Division during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I participated in the destruction of the ammunition supply depot at Khamisyah following the war. In October 1996 I testified before the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans Health Issues and in December of that year appointed Executive Director of the National Gulf War Veterans Resource Center, Inc., Washington, D.C.
In the following months I testified before the House of Representatives, Veterans Committee, Subcommittee on Health and Benefits on three occasions, continued to advise the Presidential Advisory Committee as well as several Senatorial and Congressional Committees and staff offices. I was at that time the nations leading civilian expert on Gulf War hazards, exposures and possible health outcomes. Worked for the Kansas Veterans Health Commission as an advisor designing and implementing the studies there that subsequently were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology and has proven to be one of the paramount studies to date on the health of Persian Gulf War Veterans, and their families.
I could probably ramble for some time on all the work I have done on this issue but to get to the point, I would like to work on the article here concerning Gulf War Syndrome, get it cleaned up, and make it more comprehensive, objective and informative. Please if you will contact me concerning this either here or my email also, should you wish to discuss this subject in great detail perhaps telephone or skype would be better, thank you for your time, feel free to google me.... http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=jeff+ford+gulf+war

Hello,
My name is Michael Gerlach and I am a student at Logan College of Chiropractic. I have been paying attention to the content of the page that reflects on my profession and I have found that there are continuous statements that do not represent the current mindset of the Chiropractic profession. I guess I'll start small for now before editing more. Anyway, for some time now I have been doing 'systematic research' on available research that provides information about the clinical and cost effectiveness of chiropractic and I would like to share my findings. One example of cost effectiveness research can be seen at this link <http://www.chiroccw.com/research_costofcare.pdf>. I would like to add this to the page: In 2010 a research article in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics Liliedahl et al 641 Volume 33, Number 9"Paid costs for episodes of care initiated with a DC were almost 40% less than episodes initiated with an MD. Even after risk adjusting each patient’s costs, It was found that episodes of care initiated with a DC were 20% less expensive than episodes initiated with an MD."

Can you at least please clarify if this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Viriditas#Felix - is my current sock trial? I don't know what is going on. I don't know how the "offline" trials for socking work. Will my input be taken into consideration? Can you please read what Bugs is writing and ask why he is writing these things about me when Diffs clearly show they are incorrect? These are not innocent mistakes that are being made. They are intentional obscurfactions of the easily referenced facts. Please. I'm not asking for much. I know you don't care but this is my entire ability to participate in Wikipedia that is being decided and I don't know the timeline at which the private trial will take place or even if my evidence will be considered. How can he post obvious lies in a sock trial without consequence? How do I make this stop? Felixhonecker (talk) 05:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Why do I deserve this? Why can he do this with impunity? Why am I allowed no recourse? How can 19 complaints be filed against me in 4 days by one user and I'm given no avenue of retreat or arrest to cause it to cease? I am being run up on charges that are a week old and which have already been adjudicated and dismissed. For how long does this go on? Another month? Another year? Sock hearings happening away from ANI in userspace? Nearly 20 complaints by one user in 4 days? I don't care what anyone claims, this is not the way the average Wikipedian behaves, this is not the way the average Wikipedian deserves to be treated. Maybe someday someone will do me the courtesy of explaining why he is allowed to get away with this. "No reasonable person...?" Prove it. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Viriditas#Felix Felixhonecker (talk) 05:49, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Doc, can you move this page back to either benzodiazepine drug misuse or else benzodiazepine drug abuse? Benzodiazepine drug abuse or benzodiazepine abuse is the most common name. I can't move it back as page already exists. :) No discussion occured before this page move occured, so there was no concensus for the move. Literaturegeek | T@1k? 22:47, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not planning on changing what you put at this point, since you phrased it in a way that I can't dispute ('may be'), but I'm frankly skeptical about the limited claim made in 'Complementary and alternative medicine for prevention and treatment of the common cold.'
I looked at the full text of the study, and what it boils down to is they said 'we took the Cochrane study and took out the data for the arctic people and found out that they did receive a statistically significant benefit in prevention from Vit C'. That's true as far as it goes, but the Cochrane meta-analysis wasn't conducted on that question, and I'm suspicious that they simply pulled all arctic data from the Cochrane rather than only pulling studies which were conducted with the intention of studying Vit C in those environs.
I'm only mentioning this to you since you the way you phrased your comments in the edit made it sound like you were actually relying on the data for your own benefit, and I just wanted to drop a note letting you know why I initially completely removed the comment rather than making an edit similar to the one that you did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qalnor (talk • contribs) 17:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Howdy, Online Ambassador!
This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:
And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your mentor profile.
Thanks! --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:12, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
