[edit] FA nomination for Bacteria

Hi there, just in case you're passing through. I've nominated this page for FA. Your comments or corrections on its nomination page would be very welcome. TimVickers 23:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

An editor has made some major changes to this article, could you please return to the FAC and provide some feedback on whether or not these are an improvement? TimVickers 21:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Myocardial infarction page length

Hi. Thanks for all the help on the myocardial infarction article. It's been going great so far. However, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't remove entire paragraphs just because the article is "too long". A better approach is to break off sections into separate articles as needed and leave stubs (ie: an article on "Reperfusion strategies for treatment of an acute myocardial infarction" or something like that).

I feel that I can get the article length up to 80K quite easily. When I am done with the whole article (may take a couple months), I will go and start splitting things out a bit, with the goal of leaving a possible feature article that references other good articles. Ksheka 23:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. I guess it is a bit frustrating for me when others edit what I write (which makes it unusual that I enjoy writing for wikipedia). I really do enjoy collaborating with you on this article, but get a little defensive about people editing what I write. I guess what I need to do is take frequent, small wikiholidays and not pay attention to anyone else's edits. What set me off was the thing about the article size. How about we forget about article size and just see where it takes us. Segmenting the article at a later date is a peice of cake. Ksheka 21:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:MEDMOS

I know you're a fan of MEDMOS, and I'd like to thank you again for your excellent work there, and also with the FACs, by the way. But maybe you should refer to MEDMOS a little more cautiously, since it's only a proposed guideline... When I'm back I'll try to resuscitate it, but for now I'm afraid it'll just lie there for a little while longer...--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Steven: Requirement 2 of WP:WIAFA is, "It complies with the standards set out in the manual of style and relevant WikiProjects" (bolding mine). Do you think my interpretation is incorrect? Sandy (Talk) 08:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] your edit to Fart lighting

Thanks for that. I couldn't help but wonder if the other passengers would have been alarmed had she not tried to hide the odor. --EarthPerson 20:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

• Thanks for the welcome, Steven! I'll do my best to contribute, though I'm not a native Belgian - Alison^✍ 18:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks here as well. I'll do my best on taking your advice about "being bold." Never been to Belgium, but spent my very young childhood with my Grandmother in Holland. My dutch is appalling (especially trying to write it), mar dank je wel! MArcane 23:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Steven, yes I'd love to join WP:med, let me know how I can help. Jack Daw 23:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Edit counter question

You can already get an edit count for Wikinews from it (You have to edit the URL though...) [1], but I'll add it to the list of wikis in the interface :-) Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 01:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Gorki-albumcovers

Aloha Steven,

I looked into the new website of Gorki, found the forum again, searched it for the discussion & found the permission given. Here is a direct link ([2]). Regards, Lander (from nl.Wikipedia)

[edit] From MoodyGroove

Thanks for the welcome, Steven. It might take me a while to figure out the landscape and culture. The WikiProject Medicine looks interesting. MoodyGroove 16:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)MoodyGroove

Hey Steven, could you please explain to me what the numbers are on my watchlist? For example: (diff) (hist) . . User:MoodyGroove‎; 16:47 . . (+40) . . MoodyGroove (Talk | contribs) (→Articles I've Contributed to:) What is the (+40)? MoodyGroove 23:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

Thanks for the reply, Steven. Most helpful. How do you make a correction when the title of an article is misspelled? See transcutanous pacing. MoodyGroove 20:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

Never mind! It's been corrected by Wouterstomp. Apparently you create a new article with the correct spelling, and then redirect the misspelled title to the new page! Now why didn't I think of that? :) MoodyGroove 02:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

You know, until you mentioned it, I never even noticed the move button! Thanks Steven. MoodyGroove 14:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

[edit] Move Myocardial infarction -> Acute coronary syndrome

Just wanted to give you a heads-up on my proposal on the Myocardial infarction talk page that we move the entire article over to Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and then cut out the bits that belong in other articles. As you had mentioned earlier, this article is getting a bit large, and this is probably the correct way to go to separate the topic a bit. The final article over at ACS is still going to be very big, but it hopefully will remain more on topic. Other articles that some of the text will move to include Coronary artery disease (which will be merged with Ischaemic heart disease), Complications of coronary artery disease, and Chronic stable angina.

[edit] Welcomes

Why would you give a welcome to User talk:Shze who's only contributions have been the additions of spam links, who is acting as a sockpuppet and who has been indefinitely banned from editing? --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 13:41, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Because I didn't know that he was blocked, and because I think those welcome templates give vandals at least the chance to go out there and get to know some of the basic rules around here. I believe it should be good practice to put welcomes on each talk page, especially for vandals.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 13:56, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Holidays!!!

Wherever you are, and whether you're celebrating something or not, there is always a reason to spread the holiday spirit! So, may you have a great day, and may your wishes be fulfilled in 2007! Fvasconcellos 16:46, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Illustrations as requested

Dear Steven, a little earlier than expected and nearly in time for some kind of x-mas present I would like to drag your attention to these illustrations, hoping that this is what you were thinking about (drop me a note, if it isn't). Have a nice "rest-christmas" and all the best for 2007!

Yours JHeuser 08:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge of WP:DRUGS and WikiProject Pharmacology

Hi again Steven. I'd like to bring to your attention that a merge between WikiProject Drugs and the newly-created WikiProject Pharmacology has been proposed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Drugs#WikiProject Pharmacology. I would appreciate it if you could weigh in. Thanks, Fvasconcellos 02:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snowman

Great idea! I left a message on his talk page too. Aren't you on Wikiholiday? :)) NCurse _work 18:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dengue in Cuba

Hi Steve,

There have been two documented outbreaks of Dengue in Cuba. The first was from 1977-1978. It was a dengue type 1 bug and 30-40% of the population became infected. The second strike was in 1981 and was a dengue type 2 bug. This outbreak is decribed as a "seminal event" becuase it "marked the first large-scale appearance on DHF in the western hemisphere". This information came from multiple primary sources cited in a review article. Here are the sources:

The review article (from which I quoted): Innis, B.L. (1995). Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. Exotic Viral Infections. Edited by J.S. Porterfield. Chapman and Hall, London.

The primary sources: Bravo, J.R., Guzman, M.G., and Kouri, G.P. (1987). Why dengue haemorrhagic fever in Cuba? 1. Individualized risk factors for dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg. 81, 816-20.

There are also 3 articles by Guzman, two in 1984 and one in 1990, but I am looking at a really bad photocopy of the Innis article's reference list and can't make out all the author names or the journal names. I think there might be a second article in the volume that the Bravo article is in.

I have the review article, but not the primary sources. Might the self-proclaimed wikaholic like to take this and run with it?--162.129.44.19 14:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Positive vs Negative rinne

About the Positive and Negative rinne tests (which indicates neurosensory vs conductive hearing loss) ive found examples that say both: http://books.google.com/books?id=aVMdx_eSxwYC&pg=RA1-PA244&lpg=RA1-PA244&dq=positive+rinne+test&source=web&ots=iyfXhvztLK&sig=Yx3IPIm-bIwumgJSqROOlLTUSdw#PRA1-PA247,M1

Seems to suggest that normal = negative, and "A positive Rinne indicate an air-bone gap and, therefore, presumed presence of a conductive hearing loss."

On the other hand: http://ivertigo.net/vertigo/verhearing.html Seems to indicate that conductive hearing loss yields a negative rinne.

http://books.google.com/books?id=whrU2XEvGFIC&pg=PA299&lpg=PA299&dq=positive+rinne+test&source=web&ots=UEKNoPA4tU&sig=TWcEWDQkM70QL6xmBVMiRun24Fg#PPA299,M1

Trys to explain this: however if what the above site says is true, this violates a MAJOR medical convention (as the document itself notes) and will likely be changed in the near future (assuming it hasnt already). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.159.38.244 (talk) 18:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

Thanks - I suppose you're right! Your help was invaluable, and I hope someone else will be able to benefit from it much the same way I have. Good luck with whatever studies you have going on at the moment, also. Seegoon 23:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes! For one thing, I cannot find the button that allows you to start a new article. Not that I have a article to post already, but I would like to know how it works. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Texasjune (talk • contribs) 06:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
