Hey! Thanks for stopping by and helping with Osteochondritis Dissecans. I saw the Diagnosis had changed while looking over the article this morning and checked edit history. I just wanted to let you know that I am attempting to move the OCD article to Good Article status in the coming months as part of my AP Biology Class's WikiProject - Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008. If you want to learn more then please stop by my user page or my class's WikiProject page and take a look! Cheers! --FoodPuma (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
"Dr. Smillie believes" was simply an intro to the information presented and conclusion of Dr. Smillie's study on patients with Osteochondritis Dissecans. Would you mind if we work together to reword this and reinsert the information? Thanks for taking the time to look over the article though, gald to know people are checking over my work! Cheers! FoodPuma22:53, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
At the very least it needs to be reworded as these four sentences were word for word taken from the used reference. Also it is better to reference to a book itself rather than to a review of it. And one doctor believing something is not something that should be in an encyclopedic article, unless there is wider consensus about his beliefs. Aside from these points, if dr Smillie (who is he? no wikilink, no explanation) believed something in 1960, then there probably is some evidence if it is true or not by now. So without better, preferably more recent, references I don't think it should be reinserted. --WS (talk) 10:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Back to the mills it is! I shall see to it that "Causes" is expanded this weekend with more credible information. FoodPuma10:57, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I thought images taken from published medical journals were Creative Commons license. Every other medical image I've found that came from a journal found on pubmed used Creative Commons 2.0 without any special acknowledgments or permissions. Also, the image for the infobox image has permission, I've forwarded a copy of the email I received granting permission to use the selected material on to OTRS. FoodPuma20:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Copyright policies differ per journal, but most of the articles and images are unfortunately not licensed under the CC license. Of course if the copyright holder gave permission to use an image that image can be used, and the permission should be noted on the image' page. --WS (talk) 20:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
No that does not mean the copyright has expired. I am no copyright expert either but I think that means it was initially copyrighted sometime during that interval. It takes a very long time for copyright to expire (typically something like 50-70 years depending on the material and local laws). --WS (talk) 21:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for those links, they sure do clear up some of that confusion! If you would be kind enough to check back on Osteochondritis dissecans and see how it looks (when you get the time). Also, if I could get your thoughts on the legitimacy of my use of the image found in {{infobox_disease}}. I believed it was property of the U.S. Federal Government as it was from Walter Reed Army Medical Center (Army is part of the Department of Defense and even has it's own option for licensing on wiki commons). If this is not true, and I violated their copyright please tell me right away! I truly believed I was in the right this time, but I want to make sure! Thank you! :-) FoodPuma20:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Also done. I don't make that much use of my administrative "powers", I am mainly using rollback a lot, but it comes in handy from time to time for moving/deleting articles and editing protected pages :-) --WS (talk) 14:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Gelukkig viel de stroom uit rond 1:15 onze tijd, en vond ik mij gedwongen om te gaan maffen. Dank voor het proeflezen (heb erg last van Anglicismen)... JFW | T@lk06:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I am angry Doctors and surgeons have put me here and insurance does not pay unless you are in immediate distress and basically dieing at least that is what i have been told!!!!!! Please someone give me hope!!!!!!!!plus they only seem to use reports on children and not really adults,when there is clearly documentation that says it gets worse (in some) as we age,expecially in puberty! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.76.53 (talk) 05:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
And now, for Fvasconcellos' traditional nonsectarian holiday greeting!
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 all your wishes be fulfilled in 2009! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:50, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Is this a combination of my Christmas greeting from 2006 and my New Year's greeting from last year? Why, it most certainly is! Hey, if it ain't broke...
Pharmacologic categorization
I have started a discussion of categorizing pharmacology articles at WT:PHARM:CAT and would really appreciate your input. Also, could you please pass word of this discussion to any other editors you think might consider contribution to the conversation? kilbad (talk) 05:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Strombollii from the Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008 could really use your help on his current project: Osteitis fibrosa cystica. He has had trouble finding suitable information (in both verifiability and quantity) for the topic and is relatively unfamiliar to the style and formating for medicine articles on Wikipedia. As a friend, I told him I would gladly message those who I respected as fellow wiki-editors and who I believed could add to his medicine related article. You, of course (from your help and critizim in Osteochondritis dissecans), were one of my choices. So if you can spare the time, I am sure your help would be much appreciated. Again, thank you for your own help in my article... without you and several other editors, I would have never made GA. Cheers! FoodPuma23:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of PantoPac
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PantoPac, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
nn treatment
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
I am at a loss for how to improve the article as it stands. Recently my edits have mainly been focusing on minor copyediting, and at this point I feel as though it's time to jump the cliff and hope for the best. I was advised by my teacher (JimmyButler to wait until my diagram images have passed OTRS verification. At that point, would you support a move for FA? Kind regards, FoodPuma21:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I know, I think a good goal is to go through some of our most popular articles and add relevant imaging subsections. I'm also going through and tagging some of the pre-existing images. Mostly, it's nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of or review revisions. Thanks! Kallimachus (talk) 20:47, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello
I wonder if we can find common ground over the article on diverticulosis which I had changed ( this is my first foray into Wikepedia) . I have worked as a clinical gastro-enterologist on divericlosis all my professional life both in the clinics and in the lab.
I felt that the previous and now restored article did not reflect the complexity of the subject.
I was sorry to see that my revison was shifted off.
Can we communicate.

PVPS is an acronym for Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. It is not clear why you moved the article to Post-vasectomy pain syndrome. I would like to move it back if that's alright with you.
Thank you for posting a reply. I understand now why you changed the title. However, the wikipedia guidelines state that proper nouns and names that would be capitalized in running text should be capitalized in the title. Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome is a proper noun like Northwestern University and it is capitalized in running text. If you don't mind, I would like to revert to the original title for this reason.

Hello, Wouterstomp. You have new messages at Peter.C's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Thanks for the great job of copy-editing you have been doing in the Parkinson's disease article. It has greatly improved the article. --Garrondo (talk) 15:46, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your interest in seeing this article promoted as the collaboration of the month. A collaborative project only works if interested people show up and help out. To help, please look over the article, and either make improvements or leave a note on the article's talk page about what you think should be done. Good luck, WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
... voor het verbeteren van mijn tikfouten in thrombophilia. Helaas heeft mijn huidige werkplek alleen maar toetsenborden met een rubberen hoes (dat is makkelijker schoon te maken). Dat maakt het missen van letters veel eenvoudiger. JFW | T@lk15:56, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
