I saw your edits at [[Paresthesia]]. Care to throw your two cents in here?[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Science#Name_for_when_skin_hurts] Thanks. [[User:Suntag|Suntag]] ([[User talk:Suntag|talk]]) 16:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion of "Hepatitis, viral, human" ==

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|48px|left]] A page you created, [[:Hepatitis, viral, human]], has been tagged for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]], as it meets one or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]]; specifically, it has no content, other than external links, categories, "see also" sections, rephrasing of the title, and/or chat-like comments.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our [[Wikipedia:List of policies#Content and Style|content policies]] and any applicable [[Wikipedia:Notability|inclusion guidelines]]. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our [[Wikipedia:Introduction|introduction to editing]] and [[Wikipedia:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].

Thanks. [[User:Oliver202|Oliver202]] ([[User talk:Oliver202|talk]]) 23:15, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

== Navbox request ==

As a template wizard, do you think it would be a good idea to split off a seperate epilepsy navigation box from {{tl|Diseases of the nervous system}} ? If yes, could you create one? --[[User:Stevenfruitsmaak|Steven Fruitsmaak]] <small>([[User_talk:Stevenfruitsmaak|Reply]])</small> 23:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
:Sure -- what do you think it should be called? "Epilepsy"? "Seizures and epilepsy?" I know there was a lot of controversy on wiki recently over how we were defining "seizure", so I'd want to tread lightly here. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 23:19, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
:Seizures and epilepsy sounds fine. By the way, did I already ask you if you had the assessment gadget turned on in your preferences, or was that JFW? Anyway, it's useful to remind a stub creator like yourself to assess articles (thus categorising them under WP:MED). --[[User:Stevenfruitsmaak|Steven Fruitsmaak]] <small>([[User_talk:Stevenfruitsmaak|Reply]])</small> 23:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::Done - [[Template:Seizures and epilepsy]]. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 02:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Thanks! However, do we need both a general CNS and an epilepsy navbox on epilepsy articles? Can we use a toggle show-hide button? --[[User:Stevenfruitsmaak|Steven Fruitsmaak]] <small>([[User_talk:Stevenfruitsmaak|Reply]])</small> 07:39, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
::::I set it up so that the 6 high-level epilepsy topics (like [[Focal seizures]]) showed up on both [[Template:CNS diseases of the nervous system]] and [[Template:Seizures and epilepsy]], but the 17 more detailed  topics (like [[Frontal lobe epilepsy]]) only showed up on the dedicated epilepsy template. In my opinion, that [[Breadcrumb (navigation)|breadcrumb]] arrangement maximizes the ease in which users can narrow or broaden their focus, but feel free to rearrange as needed. Per your second question -- the default behavior for [[Template:Navbox]] is to automatically hide the details when more than one nav is on the page (see [[Template:Navbox#Setup_parameters]] for details.) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 17:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

== WikiProject Medicine Featured Topic Task Force proposal ==

Hey {{BASEPAGENAME}}, I've just set up a proposal for a new task force in the [[WP:MED|WikiProject Medicine]] called FTTF, or the Featured Topic Task Force. We aim to create a [[WP:FT|featured topic]] for medicine, most likely to do with an infectious disease of some form (the proposals so far include polio and bacterial infections in general) and become the first medical featured topic. The proposal can be found [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine/Task_forces#Featured_topic_task_force_.28FTTF.29|here]] and further discussion can be found at the bottom of the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine|WikiProject Medicine talk page]]. I've very much appreciate your comments and possibly support of such a proposal, if you'd be willing to take part! —<font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2px">'''[[User:Cyclonenim|''Cyclonenim'']]'''</font><sup><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="1">[[User_talk:Cyclonenim|T@lk?]]</font></sup> 13:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

:I don't know the general answer to your question, but if you have a question about a specific agent, I may be able to help.  You may also want to offer your opinion at [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Drug_navboxes]] -- there's a discussion there about defining standards for notating experimental and discontinued drugs in the infoboxes. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 12:21, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for dropping by - its good to know there are wikipedians out there willing to help out those just beginning. Any who, I just wanted to let you know that I copied the article to my personal Sandbox for editing (prior to public release) - '''[[User:FoodPuma/Infoboxes]]'''. Feel free to make edits there if you wish, I just wanted a place to try changing things without messing up the entire article!

:No problem. I split [[Osteochondritis]] and [[Osteochondritis dissecans]] -- since you're being graded on your contributions, splitting now would probably be less disruptive than splitting later. Good luck. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 02:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
::Hey! So I have been editing [Osteochondritis dissecans]] for a little while now and was wondering if you could stop by and take a look.

:Looks good! Three thoughts: First, I've updated the separators, per the new standard defined at per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Navigation_boxes. (I'm not in a hurry to convert the old ones, but for new one I try to comply.) Second, I try to minimize the use of "General terms" as much as possible, because it makes it hard for subsequent editors to know where to place content. Finally, the "Conditions" box is rather long, so you might want to divide those by system (I usually try to follow ICD-10 ordering as much as I can.) But these are just quibbles -- I think you did a good job. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 20:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

==Could you look at this?==
Hi Arcadian. I have a trouble because of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Miyokan&diff=next&oldid=237871869 this ban request at the ANI]. Things are getting from bad to worse, with people coming to my talk page to accuse me of [[WP:COI]] violations [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Biophys#Potential_conflict_of_interest in Biology articles]. Could you please look at the [[Orientations of Proteins in Membranes database|article in question]] and check if it complies with [[WP:NPOV]]. [[WP:Notability]] and [[WP:Verifiability]]? And of course, you are very welcome to fix any problems if necessary. Perhaps I should stop editing political subjects... Thanks a lot.

== Coccidioidomycosis ==

I had updated the coccidioidomycosis page with a paragraph on biological warfare information and you reverted the page to eliminate my updates.  The paragraph was purely informative and accurate.  My post also had a link to information about one of the new books and if that is not allowed, I apologize, but I still feel the biological warfare information (with the CDC Select Agent home page citation) should stay.

I had planned to update the coccidioidomycosis PRESENTATION section as well to reflect the newer information that emphasizes the severity of the disease.  The newer, more severe, information appears in recent works like 2007's "Coccidioidomycosis: The Sixth International Symposium" or 2008's "Valley Fever Epidemic" but I would rather wait to update until after you tell me these updates will not be erased.

Thanks!

I just discovered [[Iliopectineal fascia]] and [[Iliopectineal arch]] and made a merge proposal.

:Thank you, and I commend you on your excellent anatomy contributions. (There aren't many people working on anatomy, so I'm always happy when I see your contributions pop up on my watchlist.) The two structures you mentioned are closely related but distinct, and I've added refs to make the distinction clearer. Normally, I'd recommend that they should have separate articles. However, I noticed that the IA article was a copyvio of [http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?iliopectineal+arch this] (one of the refs I added.)

==New templates==
I created a new template {{tl|Diseases of the skin and appendages by morphology}} and put some comments on the discussion page.  I plan on using this template as a guide to pages I create/work on.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated (I saw you did some work on the {{tl|Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue}} template).  [[User:Kilbad|Kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 03:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, I created another new template {{tl|Clinical and histological nomenclature for skin lesions}} and wanted to get some feedback about it.

[[User:Kilbad|Kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 18:08, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

:Two thoughts: use "{{·}}" as the separator, per the new standard at [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Navigation_boxes|MEDMOS]]. And most navs use center alignment for the line headers, rather than text-align:left. But don't let formatting details slow you down -- I'm very happy that we have someone with your level of knowledge contributing to the dermatology articles, and the content is far more important than the formatting. In particular, I want to thank you for contributing your histology images. There really is no substitute for clear pictures, and it can be very hard to obtain appropriate images for use on Wikipedia. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 18:55, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

== Location of pubic body ==

Hello, it's just me again.
<br /> I've been reading a lot on the pelvis lately and I'm increasingly confused.  I was hoping maybe you had encountered this problem already.
<br /> In some contexts, the [[body of pubic bone|body of the pubic bone]] is defined as located next to the [[pubic symphysis]] between the two rami, and in other contexts as located next to the [[acetabulum]] laterally to the superior ramus. Here are two examples:
: [http://books.google.se/books?id=rRtPExr9Hz8C&pg=PA246 ''Anatomy and Human Movement'', p 246]: ''The pubis is an angulated bone.  The '''body of the pubis projects laterally and superiorly as the superior ramus to join the ilium and ischium at the acetabulum''', forming one-fifth of the acetabulum. A thin and flattened inferior ramus extends inferiorly and posterolaterally from the body to fuse with the ischium below the obturator foramen.''
: [http://books.google.se/books?id=yPamghW63NUC&pg=PA78 ''Structure and function of the musculoskeletal system'', p 78]: ''The pubis forms the anterior inferior portion of the innominate bone.  It consists of the body, superior ramus, and inferior ramus.  The '''body forms the anterior inferior one-fifth of the acetabulum'''.  The superior ramus extends medially and also slightly forward and downward from the body to join the medial end of the inferior ramus.  The junction between the two rami forms a fairly broad, flat region.''
There are many more similar contradictions available.  I've been googling a lot to find an explanation somewhere with no success.
<br /> I reworked the article on the body according to the information in my Swedish reference (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Body_of_pubic_bone&diff=234160936&oldid=174732532 this diff]), but I then discovered there seem to be different definitions around.  Maybe I should revert myself?  Is this a US vs. Europe issue? Or older literature vs. newer?  The only hint I've been able to find is this brief sentence in Gray's [http://education.yahoo.com/reference/gray/subjects/subject/57#p236 here, section 16]:
: ''The Medial Portion of the superior ramus, '''formerly described as the body''' of the pubis, is somewhat quadrilateral in shape, and presents for examination two surfaces and three borders.''
Any hint is welcome.

[[Image:Gray235.png|thumb|300px|You'll have to click to enlarge. Then look at the [[acetabulum]], on the right. On the inner lip, you'll see a label for "body of pubis", and on the outer lip, you'll see a label for "superior ramus of pubis")]] 
:: A review of Netter didn't help me, and I don't have a skeleton here, so I'm limited to rotating images in my head, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But I think that the ''inner lip'' of the acetabulum is the body of the pubis, and the ''outer lip'' is the superior ramus. Look at the first diagram to the right. "5" is the symphysis, "4" is the pubis, "4a" is part of the "body" of the pubis, the [[superior pubic ramus]] is where "4" meets "2", and the [[acetabulum]] is the cup where "2", "3", and "4" all converge. The question is: where in "4" is the border between the body and the superior ramus? The intuitive answer would be that it is slightly to the left (medial) of the label "b", but looking at Gray235.png, I think it has to be slightly to the ''right'', on the lip. But I don't think you need to revert your changes. Just document what you find, provide references to support your additions, and leave it to those who come after us to resolve apparent paradoxes. This could easily be a US vs. Europe issue, but it could also be that we're approaching the end of the written record, and the remaining distinctions exist only as oral traditions. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 20:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

::: "Oral traditions", sigh!  Anyway, thanks for the reply, I guess no one knows why the various parts of that bone is defined in different ways.  For simplicity I'll assume Gray's definition is the default.

Hi. I see that you moved "[[Non-small cell lung carcinoma staging]]" to "[[Non-small cell lung carcinoma]]". Have you seen "[[Lung cancer]]"?

Also, I am almost ready to update the [[skin disease]] article with a complete list of all dermatologic diseases, and would like to have category headings on that page that closely mirror the categorization scheme we all finally decide on through our discussion on the medicine talk page.

:I don't want to discourage you because your dermatology contributions are very valuable, but in general, this is the sort of project that is usually better addressed incrementally. But, if you want a few suggestions: (1) Group "nails" and "hair" together under "adnexa" or "appendages". (2) Change "Cutaneous diseases" to "Cutaneous conditions" (this will help address [[mongolian spot]] and the like). (3) Don't divide "Infectious skin diseases" into "bacterial", "viral", etc. We have distinct classification systems to address those distinctions. (4) "Genetic skin diseases" will be problematic, because so many conditions have at least a genetic susceptibility. It would be better to just say "genetic diseases", and allow people to logically [[Union (set theory)|union]]. (4) In my opinion, the most important distinction in any disease (after segregating neoplasia) is inflammatory vs. non-inflammatory. I think that would make a useful high-level classification. (5) If you end up with a category that has only a couple items in it, consider deferring the decision to create a category for now. (6) Consider capturing some of this information in tables instead of categories, as described above. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 20:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

== Niemann Pick Type C Page ==

Hi Arcadian -- it looks like you did a number of citations for me on the Niemann Pick page -- thank you !!!!!!! -- I am new to Wikipedia as a contributor.  Some new research has come out on NPC -- I have posted it on my blog [http://addiandcassi.com/blog Addi and Cassi Blog] and Nature article is here [http://addiandcassi.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/nat-med.pdf Nature Medicine].  Basically, it says that Niemann-Pick disease type C1 is a sphingosine storage disease that causes deregulation of lysosomal calcium that results in cholesterol accumulation.   This is new news because the mechanism has not been known -- they talk about myriocin correcting the phenotype.   The question I have for you is I am not sure how to best incorporate something like this Nature paper into the Niemann Pick page -- where do you put it?  Also, it should go on sphingosine and also myriocin pages and possibly calcium.  What do you suggest??

Also, Brown and Goldstein, awarded the famous Nobel Prize in 1985 for their discovery of the LDL-cholesterol receptor and its role in the control of cholesterol metabolism.  Much of our current understanding of the impact of cholesterol on cardiovascular disease follows from their work and the multi billion dollar statin industry has been developed as a result of their work.  They have released on PNAS very important papers on the regulation of cellular cholesterol metabolism and what they are discovering with NPC1 and NPC2.  [http://addiandcassi.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/pnas-paper.pdf Brown and Goldstein Paper] and [http://addiandcassi.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/balch-commentbg.pdf Bill Balch Commentary on NPC1 and NPC2].

These papers need to not only be referenced on the Niemann Pick page but also on the cholesterol pages as again this very big news coming out about cholesterol  I don't know how to best do this and I need some help by watching someone like you add this in -- then I can learn so when future papers come out how to do it.   Would you help me with this project Arcadian?

:I would be glad to help. I have split [[Niemann-Pick disease, type C]] into its own article and added references to the three papers you mentioned above. You may want to rearrange them, or add more supporting text. Since you have many questions, I can only offer broad advice at this time: first read [[Wikipedia:Five pillars]], then read [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)]] (especially the section "[[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Citing_medical_sources|Citing medical sources]]"). Citing medical journals can be challenging at first, but once you know how to get a [[PMID]] and feed it into [http://diberri.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/templatefiller/?type=&id= this tool], it gets much easier. I recommend that you work on [[Niemann-Pick disease, type C]] for now, rather than adding information to [[cholesterol]]. The papers you describe are very important in the context of NP, but it may take some time and perspective to figure out the broader significance of these discoveries. Finally, make sure you read [[Wikipedia:Be bold]], and if you have further questions, I would be happy to try to answer them. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 22:01, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian - Thanks for all your updates on the NPC pages, and for splitting out NPC into it's own page/ategory.  I had Marc Patterson of the Mayo edit the main Niemann Pick Overview page -- he has been working on this for over 20 years.  Also, he is going to review the NPC page to provide input.   I am also have other experts look at the pages so they are completley accurate.  How can we fix the Wikipedia search -- if you search on Niemann Pick Type C, it does not come up to the new page you created.  Is there a way to fix wiki search.  I am waiting for some pictures which hopefully you can help me get added in properly.  Thanks against for everything!  It's such a big relief to actually have accurate information up!

Arcadian:  I have made lots of updates to the NPC pages tonight - Marc Patterson from Mayo Clinic sent me all the updates and edited both my page and what you did.  These pages are veyr accurate -- some of the medical terms are not even on WikiPedia!!    I am still having trouble with referencing papers -- I need more time to learn.  Patterson wanted me to change on of our references to make it completely accurate.  It's under Genetics on the main NP page

"Mutations in the SMPD1 gene cause Niemann-Pick disease types A and B, and mutations in NPC1 and NPC2 cause type C (NPC). Type D was originally separated from type C to delineate a group of otherwise identical patients who shared a common Nova Scotian ancestry. Patients in this group are now known to share a specific mutation in the NPC 1 gene, and NPC is now used to embrace both groups. The terms "Niemann-Pick type I" and "Niemann-Pick type II" were proposed to separate the high and low sphingomyelin forms of the disease in the early 1980s, before the molecular defects were described 

The reference is: (Elleder M, Jirásek A. Niemann-Pick Disease. Report on a symposium held in Hlava's Institute of Pathology, Charles University, Prague 2nd-3rd September, 1982. Acta Univ Carol [Med] (Praha). 1983;29(3-4):259-67.)”

I can't make it work tonight, I am too tired.  I hope you can help review both the NP and NPC pages and fix this reference.  I am working to gather all sorts of images for the pages to make them complete and current.  It would be helpful if you read this and determine other pages that could be linked -- there is a lot of good information here.  We need some links into the cholesterol areas.

There was this version on the lead of [[Iron Maiden discography]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iron_Maiden_discography&oldid=238690120 here], that needed to be re-written to meet Wikipedia's quality standars. Then after several weeks he re-wrote [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iron_Maiden_discography&oldid=249671534 this lead]. That lead he re-wrote had many issues, grammar errors and was longer than it was really needed, because it said some information about every album that was better placed in the album's pages. I re-wrote [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iron_Maiden_discography&oldid=249671062 the lead]. Now it contained the most important sentences he had written, some I wrote myself taking other Featured lists as references, and then was copy edited by [[User:Gary King]]. He just reverted the edit saying " His opinion does not interest me!" [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iron_Maiden_discography&action=history here].

Hmm this is quite a puzzle - it seems that both these compounds have been given the abbreviation CACA at some point, and its now hard to work out what N(4)-chloroacetylcytosine arabinoside actually does, as when you search for that name in PubMed it comes up with a whole load of research which actually uses (Z)-4-Amino-2-butenoic acid! The only paper I can find that definitely uses N(4)-chloroacetylcytosine arabinoside is (PMID 3440022) mentioning it as a prodrug for cytosine.

== [[EBV infectious mononucleosis]] ==

Hey. Can I ask why you've moved infectious mononucleosis to it's current title? I wasn't aware we were placing virus names in disease article names. I strictly believe [[infectious mononucleosis]] is more appropriate, it's aetiology is inferred from the article itself. Although, there are no other causes ''but'' EBV. Remember that page moves probably should be discussed first. —'''[[User:Cyclonenim|Cyclonenim]]''' ([[User talk:Cyclonenim|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Cyclonenim|contribs]] · [[Special:EmailUser/Cyclonenim|email]]) 22:34, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
:Did you read the references I added? MEDMOS defers to [[ICD-10]]. Observe [http://www.who.int/classifications/apps/icd/icd10online/?gb25.htm+b27 this]. The article as written assumed EBV, but if the article has the title "infectious mononucleosis", then we can't assume [[Epstein-Barr virus]]. At that name, [[cytomegalovirus]] (among other agents) would be one of the causes, not one of the differentials. (And it's not that ICD-10 is out of date or doesn't reflect current usage: see PMID 18371522, PMID 15168781, PMID 15113329, etc. According to [http://www.aafp.org/afp/20030201/519.html this], "Primary CMV infection will cause up to 7 percent of cases of mononucleosis syndrome and will manifest symptoms almost indistinguishable from those of Epstein-Barr virus-induced mononucleosis.") In my opinion, the rename was the smallest change possible to make the article accurate.

:::(Pardon me for butting in.) I see Arcadian's point about the rename being the smallest change necessary for accuracy. I much prefer "infectious mononucleosis", however: 1) it's icd-10 compliant, 2) it's the generally used term, 3) for the casual reader, the difference between [[EBV infectious mononucleosis]] and [[CMV infectious mononucleosis]] (especially in terms of clinical presentation, management, etc.) are academic, and 4) we have plenty of articles on diseases with multiple etiologies (''cf.'' [[pneumonia]], [[gastroenteritis]], [[aseptic meningitis]]), giving us precedence for using the general term and simply discussing the various causative organisms.

Hi. Thanks for your work on these articles. However I just noticed the pharmocology stub category is jammed full with 2600 +!! Could you please comment at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2008/November]] and suggest ways in which we can conceivably split this category into more manageable stub categories by specific sub order.

==Glycopyrrolate==
Hello arcadian, I just edited the article you contributed to about glycopyrrolate to include its other name of glycopyyronium bromide.  I was wondering if you could make it so that a search for glycopyrronium bromide would redirect to the glycopyrrolate page.  Im a newbie to editing here and dont know how.  Hopefully you can help me out.  Regards, [[User:Shaun3001|Shaun3001]] ([[User talk:Shaun3001|talk]]) 16:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:We already had a redirect from [[glycopyrronium]], but not from [[glycopyrronium bromide]], so I've added it. It now shows up on the internal Wiki search, but it will probably take a few days for it to show up on a Google search for "glycopyrronium bromide". I've also added several references to the glycopyrrolate article. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 17:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you again for all your help with the dermatology content on wikipedia.

::I too recommend you understand what you are doing. I don't understand how will an account make up for the loss of time incurred by your arrogant incompetence. When you mindlessly reverted my edits, it did not matter that I did not have an account, it was more important that you are still unable to understand the difference between muscle cells (aka myocytes) and myocardocytes. News for you: myocytes are not in any way specific to heart muscle. Your edits on [[myocyte]] show you still haven't grasp it, and you continue to waste everybody else's time.

== Mitochondrial Disease ==

Hi, hoping you can explain why our Mitochondrial Disease Symptom Guide for Clinicians link keeps getting removed?  Is it because MitoAction is a charity?  Because you have to register to view the guide (this is for legal reasons - medical advice, etc etc)?   The resource guide is a clinical document written by doctors and we feel one of the best resources online for doctors who often find themselves faced with diagnosing and dealing with this often previously un-dealt with disease.  Can you please offer a few words of explanation? (unsigned, from [[User talk:Accessionmedia]])
:There are a few different issues with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitochondrial_disease&diff=prev&oldid=258572215 addition], but the major one is discussed at [[Wikipedia:External_links#Sites_requiring_registration]], which states "A site that requires registration or a subscription should not be linked unless the web site itself is the topic of the article or is being used as an inline reference.". Your [http://www.mitoaction.org/symptom-guide-clinicians site] states "Proceed to the Clinician's Mito Symptom Guide (you will be prompted to login/register and accept terms of use)". Also, per [[MOSMED#External_links]], if a [[Open Directory Project]] page exists for the condition (as it does [http://www.dmoz.org/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Neurological_Disorders/Brain_Diseases/Metabolic/Mitochondrial// here]), then Wikipedia links to that instead of linking to each individual charity. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 17:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Using {{tl|drugbox}} instead of {{tl|chembox}} helps [[WP:CHEM]]'s data curation efforts (which have separate lists for chemicals and pharmaceuticals), and sorting with {{tl|pharma-stub}} gives [[WP:PHARM]] an adequate picture of 1) the number of articles under its scope and 2) how far we still have to go on article assessment.

:::Penicillin V is now moved.

::::Well, if that's your reasoning, I think it's quite appropriate. I personally use {{tl|pharma-stub}} even for investigational agents because {{tl|chemistry-stub}} shouldn't be used for organic compounds, regardless of their application (we have {{tl|organic-compound-stub}} and its subcategories for that), but feel free to continue using the chembox if you prefer. There's still a lot to work to be done regarding our categorization of compounds as drugs (I recently had a minor argument over it at [[WT:CHEM]]), and perhaps I would be wise to follow a more conservative approach myself.

== Interventions infobox template ==

Hi, I've just been looking at the above template and trying to understand it. What is the reason for the ICD-10 field? ICD-10 does not have an interventions classification. Canada, Australia, the UK and the US have all developed their own - none of which are called ICD-10. This is not the same as ICD-9-CM in which the procedure classification is a part of the base classification.  The WHO have taken the Australian classification and released a highly simplified version of it as ICHI (International Classification of Health Interventions), but it is really too broad to be of much use on Wikipedia. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 04:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== 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? [[User:Kilbad|kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 01:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
:*What should the uppermost pharm category be (i.e. the category that should contain all pharm-related content... not just drugs)?  I posted this question at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology/Categorization]]. [[User:Kilbad|kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 19:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::Let's define Category:Pharmacology as level-1. First, I'd recommend looking at [[Template:Pharmacology]]. This is a good summary of many of the subjects which relate to pharmacology in general (and usually appear in the first section in any pharmacology textbook) but not to any organ-specific section or mechanism. The book I have in front of me calls this "general principles of pharmacology", but that's not useful for a Wiki category, so I'd recommend something like "pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics" as a level-2 category. The other two level-2 sisters could be "pharmacological agents" and "pharmacological mechanisms". The agents would be the individual molecules (or monoclonal antibodies, or polymers, or vaccines) and the mechanisms would be for pages like [[neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor]] and [[channel blocker]]. I'm assuming your interest is in "pharmacological agents", so we won't worry about drilling down the others right now. At level-3 under "pharmacological agents", create two categories: "pharmacological agents by organ system" and "pharmacological agents by mechanism". At level-4 under "pharmacological agents by organ system", follow ATC as closely as possible. At level-4 under "pharmacological agents by mechanism", follow DrugBank as closely as possible. Don't worry about trying to classify by chemical structure (unless the mechanism is unknown and so we can only infer a mechanism from the structure), because the fine folks at WP:Chemistry have been and will be doing this independently of your efforts. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 19:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Arcadian, thank you for your help in the past with [[WT:PHARM:CAT]].  Some additional progress has been made with the proposed categorization scheme, and I just wanted to leave a few follow-up questions here, if you had time to give me feedback.  ''However'', I have read and appreciate your last post of this thread, and understand if you are too busy at this time to give me a comment!

Some specific question I have for you are:
*With regard to your initial suggestion for a "Pharmacological agents by mechanism" category, which has slowly evolved to "Drugs by mechanism of action," had you envisioned subcategories of it to contain subcategories that are (1) broad in scope, like [[:Category:Receptor agonists]] or (2) more specific in scope, like [[:Category:Serotonin receptor agonists]]?  I [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Pharmacology/Categorization#Comments|posted this question]] in the current discussion, but there is no clear consensus yet.
*Right now, most of the ATC level one category names have been agreed on by ''rough'' consensus (I will request more "support or oppose" threads in the discussion as time goes on), and ATC level 2 categories are under discussion now (...still needing a lot of work).  From my perspective, those are all the ATC categories I need for my project, but do you think the third ATC level and/or deeper levels should be somehow integrated into the categorization scheme as well?
*Finally, another issue that has come up [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Pharmacology/Categorization#Proposals_and_questions_regarding_the_second_level_ATC_codes|in latter discussions]] is what to do with longer category names like "Drugs acting on the genito-urinary system, and sex hormones" and "Systemic hormonal preparations, excluding sex hormones and insulins?"  Attempts to remove the term "sex hormones," etc., from these names leaves articles pertaining to sex hormones without a clear cut ATC category.  How is an editor or reader going to know where to find them?

Well, thanks again for all your help. Also, I replied back with a direct fb link... [[User:Kilbad|kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 19:43, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_January_10#Category:Diseases_of_skin_appendages]]  I ask, because I am most likely going to be proposing other renames in the future, and want to get a great consensus regarding the use of the word "condition".

== Creating unconnected vaccine stubs ==

I notice you have been creating a lot of disconnected stub articles about vaccines lately.  Rather than creating a one sentence articles that aren't connected to the article about the item being vaccinated against, seems like it might make more sense to add the vaccine material as a section in the main article (with a redirect, as appropriate), until enough material collects to warrant a separate article.  (Talking about things like [[Brucellosis vaccine]], [[Japanese encephalitis vaccine]], [[Tick-borne encephalitis vaccine]], etc.)  

At the very least, please add links to the new vaccine articles from the pathogen or disease article in question.  Thanks. [[User:Zodon|Zodon]] ([[User talk:Zodon|talk]]) 08:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

== Borna disease split ==

When you split [[Borna disease]] into [[Borna disease virus]], the most natural article name is actually [[Bornavirus]]. On top of that, there hasn't been (to my knowledge) a consensus in [[WP:VIRUS]] to separate the disease from the disease causing agent, and most of the articles aren't necessary long enough for a split to occur anyways. [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe|talk]]) 02:55, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
:I have moved the article to [[Bornavirus]]. Per [[Borna disease]]: do you think the article is better now, or [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Borna_disease&oldid=265356724 how it was two days ago]? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 00:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
::Yes, I think it was better before the split; the information about Bornavirus was all grouped together rather than dispersed among the two articles, this makes it easier for the reader to access all(I think some readers won't be able to jump around so that can be another issue). Same applies to several other article, and it would have been helpful if you left a note in the discussion to help remind us which and what sections. [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe|talk]]) 03:09, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
:::When you say "it would have been helpful if you left a note in the discussion", to what discussion to you refer? Only one message has ever been left at [[Talk:Borna disease]], and that was almost two years ago. And both WP:Viruses and WP:Microbiology are essentially dormant:

:::Please review [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)]]. Before I made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Borna_disease&diff=265389092&oldid=265356724 my edits], the article (which was created on 20 April 2004) had exactly one in-line reference, and that was to a dead link. The current version of [[Borna disease]] isn't perfect, but it is much closer to MEDMOS compliance. There is a general consensus that tiny articles without references should usually have the virus and the condition on the same page, and that larger articles with many references should usually have them split. Unfocused articles improve much more slowly than focused ones. But there isn't a consensus as to the exact dividing line. I wish there was an active and centralized microbiology community on Wikipedia with clear standards and a defined style guide, but there isn't one yet. But if you'd be interested in building one together, I'd be happy to collaborate with you. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 04:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
:(ouddent) I said it was helpful, not policy. When I was looking at the article wondering what happened the virology section, I almost copied and paste it back in — and it took me a while to figure out where you've split it to (edit summaries work too, but discussions are more direct). I don't necessarily agree that splitting the disease and the disease causing agent will cause the article to be more focused; right now I think we should move virology back into [[Borna disease]] and then csd move it into the [[Bornavirus]].<p>I've been to [[WP:MEDMOS]] and they seem more intent on getting the language right than worrying about how to draw the boundaries for articles. When I referring to other articles, I was a bit ambiguous, sorry about that. I understand why [[Rabies]] was split, but the virology section was grossly incomplete and I don't think it was a bit excessive to split it into [[Rabies virus]]. IMO the general consensus is essentially implied in [[WP:SIZE]] and [[WP:SPINOFF]]; however I don't necessarily agree that splitting off the virology would necessarily allow the article to be more focus.</p><p>A guideline discussing when articles should be divided and among what lines would be helpful; so let's organize our thoughts before we bring it to the community:</p>
:# WP:SIZE and WP:SPINOFF implies when or if the article should be split
:# Virology should be split into scientific name, where as the main article would be in the common name
:## For articles like [[Bornavirus]] where the common essentially adopts the scientific name and a spin off of the virology section would be unnatural (''Bornavirus virus'' is unnatural), then it would be ''Virology of Bornavirus''
:## For articles where the the scientific name adopts the common name (e.g. [[Rabies]]), the split may be along the lines of [[Rabies virus]]
:# Epidemiology (that is the study of how it transmits, prevalence, so on) is split by similar means, but there hasn't necessarily been enough activity along these lines to draw any serious conclusions (I'm actually interested in starting an Epidemiology wikiproject if there are more people)
:This is what I got. Point 2.1 seems a bit weak since we could also argue that "Borna disease" is the more natural name even though it seems unlikely that a reader would type all that into the search box (they'd more likely go through the infobox); so we could drop that one and give a "For the disease...". [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe|talk]]) 05:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
::I think we're largely in agreement. Should we drill down to the genus, or the species? When I'm trying to figure out appropriate terminology, I often consult [[MeSH]]. Per {{MeshName|Borna+disease+virus}}, "Borna disease virus" is the [[species]], and "Bornavirus" is the [[genus]]. In my opinion, either could work as the title for a dedicated article about the virus, but I'd be happy to defer to you or others as to which would be more appropriate. (Certainly, [[virus classification]] is less mature than that of other pathogens.) Also, when you say "bring it to the community", which community do you recommend? I'm thinking we should work to try to merge [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Viruses]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Prokaryotes and protists]] into [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microbiology]], and then bring our thoughts to WikiProject Microbiology. (Although that project is inactive, I think it could become more active with a little creative nudging.) But I'm open to other approaches. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 05:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I think we need more than just inactivity for a wikiproject merge; the other approach would simply to let it be, and most people who are interested in the community can enroll in WP:MICRO just as easily as WP:VIRUS. I would bring it to WP:VIRUS first (also because I've been a part of it long enough to know some of the people), and then to WP:MICRO if we can get a consensus in WP:VIRUS; another reason to bring it to WP:VIRUS is that the issue have been essentially about virology and spinning off the virology section. I other news, I've redrafted point 2.1, now that our former example is no longer valid. If we have a go on points 1, 2.1, and 2.2 — then we can begin drafting the full proposal and rationale; and we can send a joint proposal to WP:VIRUS.<p>Ok, thanks for clarifying [[Borna disease virus]], I'm actually quite a bit surprised that I didn't catch that, BVD is the species and Bornavirus is the genus; it's even listed in the infobox. Nevertheless, that redraws how we're dividing it, [[Bornavirus]] stays as it is; so the only issue left is to CSD move [[Borna disease]] to [[Borna disease virus]] (BVD is the most likely search term), and then writing a short virology section there.

==Infobox question==
Hi. I was just looking at the infobox that you added to the [[Zygote]] article way back in October 2007, and I'm curious about it.  Is there any particular reason that the article should have an (essentially empty) infobox?  I like infoboxes as much as the next person and I certainly don't want to be ''overly'' bold and remove something that has a purpose, but I don't understand it.  The main reason I'm wondering about it is that the code has been vandalized (though it doesn't show up in the actual infobox; I stumbled across it quite by accident) and I was about to delete the vandalism, but then I began to wonder whether we need the box at all and I decided to go right to the source to find out.  Also, if the box ''is'' serving a purpose, could you please explain to me why it says "Days -- 1"?  That's stumping me.  Thanks -- <font face="Verdana">[[User:EdiOnjales|<span style="color:#7B68EE;">'''edi'''</span>]][[User talk:EdiOnjales|<span style="color:#8A2BE2;">'''(talk)'''</span>]]</font> 14:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

== Moving [[chemotherapy]] ==

I'm not sure why you moved [[chemotherapy]] to [[chemotherapy (oncology)]]. The page is currently about its most common use (cancer chemotherapy), and the intro already clearly disambiguates to alternative uses. Also, the move was not discussed. I've moved it back for the time being. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 07:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:Do you mind then if I move the details on that page to [[antineoplastic]]? Using "chemotherapy" as the overview for cancer pharmacology creates all sorts of cascading inaccuracies. Even when defined broadly, monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and hormone modulators are almost never considered chemotherapy (though some of these are sometimes considered [[targeted therapy]]). --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 07:47, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree that the [[chemotherapy]] article should only deal with actual chemotherapy drugs, but I think the term "antineoplastic" is inaccurate because benign tumours are also neoplasms. The whole world (lay and professional) refers to stuff like cisplatin or daunorubicin as "chemo[therapy]". At the same time, [[antineoplastic]] or [[cancer drug]] (presently a redirect) would be good container articles to discuss all pharmacological cancer treatment modalities (to the exclusion of surgery and EBRT). Perhaps this is good subject for a discussion on [[WT:MED]]. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 20:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

In fact, we already have a very good container in the [[cancer]] article itself: the [[cancer#treatment]] section. Rather than creating more container articles, I have simply removed all the content on targeted therapy and hormonal therapy. Could I recommend that we turn [[antineoplastic]] into a redirect to [[cancer#treatment]]. The only content in that article that needs shifting is the section on occupational harm from exposure to cytostatics; this could actuall be merged into [[chemotherapy]].

:It looks like Cyclonenim has taken care of what needs to be done for now. However, seeing that this has gone on for years, you're probably looking for a longer term solution.

My reading of the community is that there is a consensus that this is needed. There are new suggestions every few months, but no one has taken the initiative to drag it across the finish line. With clear guidelines, many disputes melt away. Your experience with your dermatology and pharmacology proposals have probably shown you what is needed to make this happen: you need to be patient, polite, precise, disciplined, detailed, and relentless. I have too much on my plate right now to initiate this, but if you take the lead on it, I can help put my shoulder to the boulder.

== The Project Charity - The Children's Rare Disease Network ==
Hi Arcadian:
I am adding links in the lysosomal storage disease area to The Children's Rare Disease Network and now I see that these links are not up after I spend considerable time putting them on Wiki today.  I added the links which are appropraite for people who suffer from rare diseaes, especially the children's diseases.  This is a non profit organization that is the main hub for families who are dealing with rare diseases of all types.  Some of these small rare disease states do not even have non-profits supporting them and they have no money -- The Project Charity -- The Children's Rare Disease Network will be the main non profit for families and kids to go to for support.   Some diseases only have 200 kids worldwide -- certainly not a community and this is why I need to put up so many links.  It's not like added links to the Cancer Page to the Cancer Society when millions are affected.   This is the umbrella organization supporting Rare Diseases of all types.  This site needs to be added to all the Rare Disease pages that are under represented -- this is their organization.  Would you be taking down links to NORD if I put them up on Wiki?  I read the rules and it appears to be appropriate given the nature of this organization and how rare each disease is.  It's going to be lots of links for lots of different obscure or rare disease, many which have no organization support.  I am a volunteer for them along with many other families who have children with rare disease.

:From my reading of the policies, the addition of dozens of links to the same exact URL (http://www.theprojectcharity.org) is not in accordance with the guidelines. I understand that you feel I am wrong in my interpretation. I am proud of our collaboration on [[Niemann-Pick disease, type C]], and I believe that we share most of the same goals. I will recuse myself from removing this link in the future. However, I think that it is inevitable that it will be removed by other editors. I recommend that you read [[Wikipedia:External links]] (especially ([[Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided]]), which contains much more detail about the relevant policies. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 05:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::Hi Arcadian, I am going to look into what you say more.  One of the biggest challenges I faced in dealing with a rare disease that only affects so few is that there is no community -- there are very few organizations that support rare disease that impact children.  Rare disease is different than any other disease state where there are thousands if not millions of people impacted.   Part of the problem is the fractured nature of rare disease.  I would love if there was just one link I could put up to help people.  Are you interested in helping me with the rare diseases that have no information on them?   I would like to keep working with you on this!  I am very committed not only to Niemann Pick Type C and Lysosomal Storage Diseases but rare diseases in general. Chris | T@lk 27 February 2009

== [[List of skin-related conditions]] ==
*I have been going through ''Fitzpatrick's'' and ''Andrews''' texts simultaneously to (1) create a comprehensive [[list of skin-related conditions]], and (2) create stubs on any red links that appear in that listing.  Ultimately, I also want to do the same with ''Rook's'' and ''Bolognia''.  However, before I get too much further in the process, I wanted to get your feedback on a couple things.  
*Within the listing, I am only placing intext citations for introductory sentences at the beginning of each section.  I have not been placing citations next to every disease name and synonym, but am leaving it to the actual articles to do.  Is that ok?  My rational is that citing every disease name would get very cluttered and cumbersome.
*With that being said, I simply created a bibliography citing ''Fitzpatrick's'' and ''Andrews''' as sources for the listing, and placed a footnote indicating so.  Is this ok to do?
*What other thoughts do you have?  I just don't want to be wasting my time if I am doing something wrong.
*Also, I emailed you back. [[User:Kilbad|kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 21:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
**I am a strong opponent of unlinked bibliography sections, but I see some of the [[nosology|nosological]] challenges in front of you. I think that if you have two different sources that a condition exists  with the same name (excluding minor orthographic variants), I don't think you need to source the ''existence'' of a condition on a list page. You should be cautious, though, about including conditions that exist in only one one of the books. I'd also like to encourage you to create more navboxes to link the new articles together (I know you're putting most of your effort into categories, but with the navboxes, I think it's easier to convey subtle relationships.) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 21:58, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:::*Thank you for your reply.  With regard to that list, I will be cautious when adding conditions that exist in only one book.  However, in general, all the unabridged derm books have a lot of overlap, so I do not anticipate that happening often.  Also, as I go through the list and categorize the diseases, I am making sure all the disease names and synonyms are cited in the actual articles.  I am big into copious inline citations of reliable secondary sources, and it was simply through editing this list that some questions with regard to referencing information came up (which I think we are addressing).
:::*With regard to navboxes, I do like them personally.  However, being a former web programmer, and paying attention to page layouts, I wonder how many people actually use them, particularly when there are multiple boxes that are ''collapsed''?  Regardless, once I have almost all of the derm diseases listed, stubified, and categorized, I will make some more navboxes.  I want to have all the diseases in wikipedia so I will be able to completely define the scope of any particular box, and not have to constantly be added to it.

==Odd editing behaviour at Babesia article==
Hi. I note that you created the [[Babesia]] article.  This page has been heavily edited by a temporary account (‘Nmunabi’) who apparently has knowledge of the subject.  (I am not an expert in this area.)  Yet he/she destroyed all the wikilinks and all the inline references. I don’t understand why.  I reconstructed the references before realizing quite what had happened.  So my question to you is, were this guy’s edits useful, or vandalism?  What was he up to?  

Appreciate your insight at the article [[Talk:Babesia|talk page]]. [[User:Earthlyreason|Earthlyreason]] ([[User talk:Earthlyreason|talk]]) 17:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:From what I can see, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babesia&diff=273468769&oldid=264460160 Nmunabi's edits] had three effects. (1) Update the taxonomy in the infobox. I agree with the edits. (Protist classification is [[Thomas Cavalier-Smith|notoriously contentious]], and very inconsistently applied in Wikipedia, but Nmunabi's terms are more up-to-date.) (2) Place a greater emphasis on disease. This I disagree with. Disease-specific additions should be added to [[Babesiosis]]. (3) Undo inline citation. Of course, you and I both disagree with this, and in my opinion, the benefits of his edits don't outweigh the long-term harm done by fixed numbering of citation (though since you've already updated the citations, the issue is moot. Thank you for doing this.) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 17:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. In the course of typo fixing just now I came upon this article and corrected several typos and made links in the last paragraph.

== Hepatitis B Virus split ==

I know that this is getting to be a bit of an issue again, but I oppose the split in Hepatitis B virus. Described in greater detail in the discussion, I think we need a clearer line as to when a split may be done. In my opinion, including the virology along with the medical aspects and so forth is an effective method of allowing the reader to see the entire subject, before they specialize into what they're looking for. Obviously there are some limitations to that, such as audience sophistication—as whether or not the can actually understand the section Microbiology. So I believe we should hold off on dividing articles unless it proves necessary. [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe|talk]]) 04:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

== Turbinate or Nasal concha? ==

Hi, I was puzzling over why the article was moved from "Turbinate" to "[[Nasal concha]]", as I am long familiar with the former but not the latter. (Also, I googled both terms, and "Turbinate" gets about 10 times as many G-hits.) The name change isn't mentioned on the talk page, but I finally spotted the page move in the edit history, with your edit summary, "more general term". Could you take a minute and elaborate on that? Thanks! [[User:Cgingold|Cgingold]] ([[User talk:Cgingold|talk]]) 02:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:"Nasal concha" is [[Terminologia Anatomica]], as shown at {{Google books|UnMBKPalTeoC|Terminologia anatomica|page=57|nasal+conchae+terminologia+anatomica}}, and per [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Naming_conventions|MEDMOS]], that's the recommended standard. That said, if you're ''sure'' that "Turbinate" is more appropriate, and you want to move it, I won't revert (though "Nasal turbinate" would be better than "Turbinate", because without the qualifier, it can simply refer to a [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Turbinate shape].) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 21:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

== Mastitis Splitup ==

Hi, thanks for the work on this, however I am wondering if the splitup is not into to many articles. From the nonpuerperal section, some forms have common aetiology/pathogenesis including treatment, likewise much of the literature applied for several sections at a time.

The classification in medical literature is so ambiguos and overlaping that separate articles may make sense by lexicologic or historic criteria but not otherwise. I started working on an overview of classification section recently, somewhat of a nightmare. For some authors everything is duct ectasia while other like to classiffy it into single atoms and german or italian publications use their own scheme.

Lots of stuff went missing in the splitup? From the nonpuerperal section you have retained the more exotic parts, the ordinary unspecific nonpuerperal mastitis is completely missing (or maybe that is part of the classification problem?) as is the overview of pediatric issues and mastitis neonatorum that was at least mentioned in the introduction.

If you have any thought on this please move the discussiun to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mastitis

I appreciate your perspective on mastitis, but ultimately these issues will have to be resolved by the community of editors, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mastitis&oldid=276661459 this] is not compatible with the standards defined at [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)]]. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 21:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

::Edit counting mode? I have done a few substantial contributions and could not care less about comments regarding quantity. Large parts of that article were written by me so I would really appreciate comments on what should be done better. I think it is a good idea to have separate articles on puerperal vs nonpuerperal mastitis but for now it might be better not to subdivide it further. The text fragments do not give much sense on their own and lack introductions. The fragment about granulomatous mastitis actually describes idiopathic GM (not your fault and fixing it was on my list for too long). Was the intro to nonpuerperal mastitis removed just by accident or was it in some way deemed inappropriate? What about the symptoms subsection? "not compatible with standards" is just too vague for me to dare any bigger contributions. Community of editors?

During the course of editing these past several weeks there have been a few issues that have come up, some of which I have posted at [[WP:MED]], but all of which still need someone to sort through.  Perhaps you could look at the following items and make any changes as you see fit:
:* Are [[Childhood dermatomyositis]] and [[Juvenile dermatomyositis]] the same thing? If so, a merger might be in order.
:* With regard to [[Maduromycosis]] and [[Mycetoma]], should these articles be merged?  I have a secondary source stating that they are the same thing.
:* Are all the [[Acrocyanosis]] articles worth a merger?

==Navboxes for peptide hormones / neuropeptides ==
Hi Arcadian. 

Now that there are a number of selective ligands for neuropeptide receptors, I decided to make a navbox to link together the pages so far. However on completion of this box I am thinking some of these peptides like [[cholecystokinin]] are not really neuropeptides and are more peptide hormones, and so should perhaps go in your peptide hormones template instead?


{{Pituitary and hypothalamic hormones and analogues}}


I'm a bit unsure as many of these peptides like [[Corticotropin-releasing hormone]] have multiple sites of action throughout the body and brain and so do not fit neatly into either category...your advice, suggestions etc would be appreciated as always.

{{tl|Neuropeptide agonists and antagonists}}

{{tl|Peptide hormone agonists and antagonists}}
:I like them. I enjoy following your work, and I know you know more about this subject than I do. I think I see some redundancies that would require some reorganization over the far horizon, but that's a problem we can probably only solve iteratively. My only suggestion is this: these navs will probably proliferate, and we can't now anticipate everything we'd need in the future, so it would be useful to be able to find them all quickly. So, rather than put the navs in a broad category "Drug templates", mimic the initiative at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology/Categorization]], and create subcategories at the nav level that echo the classification of the individual drugs (so, these would go under an "agonist and antagonist" which would be under a "by mechanism". --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 15:58, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


Oh yeah obviously there will be redundancies in time, I just wanted to get a navbox or two made as a base to expand on. I was thinking whether I should make seperate boxes for e.g. "neuropeptide agonists" and "neuropeptide antagonists" like how there is for serotonin but decided against it for now, mainly because for technical reasons almost all drugs targeting these receptors so far have been antagonists, but I felt it would be more helpful to the reader having the endogenous agonist listed alongside. Can always be split later anyway if heaps of neuropeptide agonists get invented. Agree that these navboxes may grow quite large with time considering how many neuropeptide GPCRs there are which have yet to be studied in detail!!

== [[Doege-Potter syndrome]] ==

Greetings your magnificence (anyone over 100K worth of edits gets a title; at 150K, you get a toaster).  

I've created the above page and asked for a comment at [[WT:MED#Doege-Potter syndrome]], but what I'm keenly interested in will be how it fits into the myriad template navboxes you created.  Since that seems your purview, would you do the kindness of selecting an appropriate one or selection?  

Thanks, [[User:WLU|WLU]] <small>[[User talk:WLU|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/WLU|(c)]] Wikipedia's rules:</small>[[WP:SIMPLE|<sup><span style='color:#FFA500'>simple</span></sup>]]/[[WP:POL|<sub><span style='color:#008080'>complex</span></sub>]] 14:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:I've taken a quick look at the article, but I can't figure out if Doege-Potter refers to the tumor itself (making it an ectopic endocrine tumor) or the distal sequelae of the tumor (making it paraneoplastic). I think there should be a lower bar for adding navs to an article than for adding articles to a nav, so for now I've simply added [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doege-Potter_syndrome&diff=285662153&oldid=285655708 added two navs] to the article. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 15:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::From what I can skim, DPS is a paraneoplastic syndrome - a 5% circumstance where a fibrous tumour produces IGF-2.  The tumour produces IGF-2 directly (so it's not a ''distant'' sequelae) but it's also not a tumour of the islet cells of the pancreas (most seemed to have been removed from patients' lungs and I'd be interested to know if that's the sole location the tumours are found). My interpretation is quite suspect because I've only read one article in its entirety, the rest it's all what I could skim from the abstracts.  I gather there is at least one review article out there somewhere based on offhand comments in the abstracts, but I didn't turn it up.  So overall my guess is it would be more appropriate for the paraneoplastic syndrome nav box because it's not a tumour on an ''endocrine'' gland (it's associated with non-islet tumours) but I leave it up to you and WT:MED to decide.

== Statistics: ARP ==

Hi, Arcadian!

Checked your AR and ARP (also seen as AR% or EF etiologic fraction) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:ARR_RRR_worksheet, values are correct but they only make sense for risk reduction (ARP gives the portion of cases attributable (and avoidable) to this exposure in relation to all cases). You might want to remove the -300% and add this explanation to the ARP-page, too, otherwise the value of -300% is quite confusing.

In the case of risk reduction the value of PF preventive fraction (or preventable fraction) = 1-RR (or 1-OR) would be correct to use.

Also the question of "how much is enough" arises, because we could start adding PAR and PARP/PAR%... which brings us a long way from the initial (simple) example ;)

[[User:T.pienn|T.pienn]] ([[User talk:T.pienn|talk]]) 21:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


Set the (mathematically correct but practically unused) 300% to N/A, included PF instead.

== Redirects ==

Hi Arcadian, thanks for the good work here, I just want to ask you why did you redirect [[Arcella]] to [[Arcella hemisphaerica]]? And I noticed you also created many similar redirects. I am afraid I am strongly opposed to this type of redirects. I think leaving them as red links is the only (efficient) way to encourage other editors to start new articles on them; redirecting for the purpose of turning red links into blue kills that courage because it suggests the page does not need to have an article on its own.

I created both ''Arcella hemisphaerica'' and the genus redirect on 6 May 2009, and you created the genus article the next day. This genus was characterized in 1832.

Glad we're moving forward... I just thought perhaps we could hack out what links to disambiguation pages you feel are appropriate. For example, in the most recent case, when [[Acanthocyte (disambiguation)|the disambiguation page]] was at the primary location, [[Stropharia]] then linked to a disambiguation page when it should have linked to [[acanthocyte (mycology)]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stropharia&diff=297384538&oldid=293290128], no? –[[user:xeno|<span style="font-family:verdana;color:black;">'''xeno'''</span>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black" face="verdana"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 17:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

:I support the guidelines described at [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation]], and more generally at [[Wikipedia:Five pillars]]. To answer your second question would depend upon a more precise definition of the phrase "should have linked". If you mean that a link to "acanthocyte (mycology)" is better than a link to "acanthocyte", then I agree, and I appreciate your disambiguation of that link. But if you mean the position you posited at the Administrator's noticeboard, I remind you that [[Wikipedia:AN#Page_moves_contrary_to_WP:PRIMARYTOPIC_.2F_WP:2DAB.2C_leaving_links_to_disambiguation_pages_behind|you did not receive any support for your position]].

::Sorry for the late reply. The page you linked above, specifically, [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Deciding to disambiguate]] states that ::<blockquote>"The page at '''[[Michael Dobbs]]''' is about the primary topic, and there is only one other use. The other use is linked directly using a hatnote; <u>no disambiguation page is needed</u>." <small>(<u>emphasis</u> mine)</small></blockquote> 
::However, in exactly these cases you have been vacating the primary usage and creating disambiguation pages in its place. This is 1) unnecessary and 2) creating links to disambiguation pages. I realize that we cannot demand someone fix 2) because this is a volunteer project, but we can ask that they heed 1) - that this is unnecessary because a hatnote does just as well and in the spirit of [[WP:2DAB]] (a MOS guideline), disambiguation pages with only 2 entries are not really necessary. I hope this helps to elucidate my position and also demonstrates how guidelines support it. –[[user:xeno|<span style="font-family:verdana;color:black;">'''xeno'''</span>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black" face="verdana"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 18:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

==[[Cryptophyceae]] problem==
Basically, it's all messed up taxonomically and systematically. I write you because I saw you disambiguated ''[[Cryptochloris]]'', which is good, but that genus [http://botany.si.edu/ing/INGsearch.cfm?SearchWord=Cryptochloris is apparently preoccupied] by some grass (I suspect it's a junior synonym of ''[[Chloris (plant)|Chloris]]'' or some other [[Chloridoideae]]). But online sources wildly vary. I'll try and figure out what's going on here; recent studies do not use the genus name for a cryptophyte, but the latest ''Cryptomonas'' revision does not figure it in the synonymy either. It might belong to the synonymy of ''[[Plagioselmis]]'' (which as it seems is much closer to ''[[Teleaulax]]'' than to ''Cryptomonas''). In any case, I think if the homonymy is as given in the ''Index Nominum Genericorum'', I should be able to figure out where the disambiguation ought to point to. That is the easy part...

:Ah, the cryptophyte name has been conserved - see [http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=13641219 here]. [[User:Dysmorodrepanis|Dysmorodrepanis]] ([[User talk:Dysmorodrepanis|talk]]) 12:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

::And though BLAST has little but the dreaded "uncultured" environmental samples in its vicinity, it does look like it's at least reasonably close to ''Plagioselmis''. [[User:Dysmorodrepanis|Dysmorodrepanis]] ([[User talk:Dysmorodrepanis|talk]]) 12:30, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The "Cryptomonads-haptophytes assemblage" infobox is in need of a major overhaul. The Pyrenomonadaceae (which lack ''[[Rhodomonas]]'' in the list) are the only family that any recent study finds to be monophyletic, the rest is just a mess. Pyrenomonadales would, if valid at all, be monophyletic. [http://tolweb.org/Cryptomonads/2396 Here] is what according to what I have seen (basically every study published within the last 20 years that has some phylo data on ''[[Cryptomonas]]'' at least) is the baseline phylogeny.

What should be done? The German Wikipedia for one is better here, and as I may well be tied down with a cryptophyte killing spree (all in the name of science) for the next half year or so, I might give it an overhaul eventually.

== [[Cell envelope antibiotics]] ==

I noticed your rebranding of the cell wall antibiotics template to cell envelope antibiotics and the corresponding article.  Is this a real distinction?  It seems the polymyxins throw a spanner in the works of the accepted grouping.  I notice though that the polymyxins fall into "J01X - Other antibacterials" section.  Perhaps that template should remain cell wall inhibitors given the size and importance of this group, while these tricky cell membrane antibiotics would be added to the "Other" template.  What are your thoughts on the distinction? (btw, they have all been extremely useful while recently revising for my medical pathology exams, so thanks!) |→&nbsp;[[User:Spaully|Spaully]][[User talk:Spaully|&nbsp;'''''<sup>τ</sup>'''''&nbsp;]]23:36, 28 June 2009 ([[GMT]])
:I'm glad they've been useful. Per your question: I know these are always treated together as a logical class in the books I read (so I'd be reluctant to split out the membrane ones to "other"), but I'm not sure of what the optimal name of the parent class would be. One benefit of the name I used ([[cell envelope antibiotic]]) is that it is very close to the title of the web page used as a reference, and the [http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/fox/antibiotics1.htm reference] is excellent (the online curriculum of the [[Medical University of South Carolina]]). I'm open to suggestions, though, or we could discuss it at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology]] if you'd like. When you state "accepted grouping", to which grouping to you refer? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 23:55, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
::That probably is the best grouping, thinking about it.  The only misgiving I have is that the template does not indicate explicitly which are cell wall synthesis inhibitors and which cell membrane disruptors; this seems especially important to me given the importance of the wide range of cell wall inhibitors.  The only problem with this is that there are enough levels to that template already so I'm not sure of the best way to indicate this.

==Anabolic steroids template==
Hi Arcadian. The other compounds I had added redlinks for make up the remainder of the anabolic steroids prohibited by law in various Australian jurisdictions, and prohibited from use by athletes by the Olympics and other sports bodies. Some of these compounds are as you point out very obscure and do not have listings on PubChem, but still their legal prohibition alone gives them grounds to be deemed notable and encylopedic. Not too bothered whether the redlinks stay on the template or not, but I will add pages for them as I find references, [[ethyldienolone]] for instance. [[User:Meodipt|Meodipt]] ([[User talk:Meodipt|talk]]) 03:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
:Sounds good. As long as there's a reference, then it's not a problem that it's not in PubChem (though in the absence of a CID, adding a CAS where possible would be helpful.) --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 03:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

If "computed tomography", "CT scan", etc. almost always refer to [[X-ray computed tomography]], lets move that article back and put the disambiguation page at [[Computed tomography (disambiguation)]].

== Merge [[Cerebellothalamic tract]] to [[Dentatothalamic tract]]? ==

I was thinking of merging A to B (an article you created hence why I am messaging you) based on the articles similarity with each other. The giveaway was the alternate name given in the cerebellothalamic tract. However, that page is unreferenced so I am unsure how accurate the info is and hence whether it should merge or not (in addition to the merger, a few of the other names should be made into redirects as well). Finally, if it is to be merged should all the info that is not on the main page be merged as well (or not?) considering it is unreferenced? Your opinion (or better yet, you agreeing and merging the articles!) would be great. Kind regards.[[User:Calaka|Calaka]] ([[User talk:Calaka|talk]]) 08:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:I'd support merging A to B, but I'd be cautious about how much of A to copy to B. According to [[BrainInfo]], the terms aren't synonyms (BrainInfo lists "cerebellothalamic tract" as an alternate term for "cerebellorubrothalamic tract". In this context, "rubro" refers to the [[red nucleus]].) And here's a free review: PMID 18193279. Note how the title uses the plural "cerebellothalamic tracts". In ambiguous cases like this, I'd recommend merging A to B, but adding fact tags for the merged content, so that if no one can support it, it can eventually be deleted without causing too much additional confusion. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 11:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Rhizaria not a Kingdom==
[[Rhizaria]], a taxon within the Protista, essentially emmends the Class Rhizopodea and too belongs at the rank of taxonomic class.

Hey, just to let you know, I tagged [[Cerebellopontine angle]] with {{tl|copyvio}}. It looked too good to be true so I [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22The+internal+auditory+canal+is+approximately+8.5+mm+in+length+(range+5.5-10.5+mm),+lined+with+dura,+and+filled+with+spinal+fluid.+Its+medial%22&hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enGB350GB351&filter=0 googled a random sentence] (in quotes) and it brought up [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/882876-overview this page] as an exact match.

== [[Balanitis plasmacellularis]] ==
Hey, it was great meeting you the other day!

Also, I had a question... with regard to the condition [[balanitis plasmacellularis]] (see the actual stub for all the synonyms), my understanding from looking at Bolognia and Andrew's is that it can affect the glans penis or the vulva.  Bolognia discusses the condition under the header "Zoon's Balanitis/Vulvitis."  Therefore, I wanted to know if the article should be moved to another title that includes both the words "balanitis" and "vulvitis", and, if so, what the title should be? ---[[User:Kilbad|kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 20:00, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
:Pleasure meeting you as well. I'm no dermatologist, but I've added a few refs and done some reading, and here's my take: the balanitis form is the product of dubious nosology, but the vulvitis form is even more dubious. This just means [[inflammation]]+[[plasmacytosis]]. Everything else is just an attempt to regress common features based upon what was observed histologically. There's no common mechanism to pin down for a definition this broad, so the condition can only be defined relative to Zoon's original case. If there was a consensus in the literature then we'd need to reflect that, but since there isn't, I think it would be best to mention "Zoon's vulvitis" in the article, but not enshrine it in the article's title. I'd recommend using "Balanitis circumscripta plasmacellularis", because that's what [[eMedicine]] uses. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 05:12, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

== Exanthem ==

You removed varicella from the list of [[exanthem]]s in this revision [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Exanthem&oldid=273375383] I am looking at the same text mentioned on the talk page (Murray et al) and it is certainly listed as one. Also, if this was intentional, you should probably remove it from the prevention section as well. Thank you [[User:JoshuaTree|JoshuaTree]] ([[User talk:JoshuaTree|talk]]) 02:40, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
:Could you provide a quote of the sentence in question? --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 23:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
::The prevention section states, ''"Vaccinations now exist against measles, rubella and chickenpox."'' This is the only mention of varicella (chickenpox) on the page. So what do you think, remove chickenpox from this list or add varicella back to the list of exanthems? I am favoring the latter based on the Murray reference on the talk page, ''"The classic childhood exanthems are roseola infantum (exanthem subitum [HHV-6]), fifth disease (erythema infectiosum [parvovirus B19]), and, in unvaccinated children, varicella, measles, and rubella."'' Thanks in advance for your input, [[User:JoshuaTree|JoshuaTree]] ([[User talk:JoshuaTree|talk]]) 00:43, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
:::I stand corrected, and I apologize. Varicella is not one of the classic, enumerated exanthema, but you are correct that the term "exanthem" is also used in a broader sense.

==[[Limbic lobe]]==

Hi. I see you have replaced the reference to Terminologia Anatomica's description of "limbic lobe". I don't have access to any edition of the book at present. I've searched [http://books.google.com.au/books?id=0dYwOxPA6VcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Terminologia+Anatomica&client=firefox-a&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false Google's scan of the 1998 edition] but can't find its description of the limbic lobe.

:Click [http://web.sc.itc.keio.ac.jp/anatomy/TA/NS.html#%E5%A4%A7%E8%84%B3 here], and scroll down to "A14.1.09.230". That source doesn't include the footnotes, though, so here is the relevant footnote on the bottom of page 126 of the book: "Lobus limbicus: consists of structures which form a continuum on the most medial aspect of the cerebral hemisphere. These structures are not located internal to a bone of the same name, and therefore, do not share this feature with most other lobes of the hemisphere. However, structures forming the limbic lobe, as is the case for  other lobs of the cerebral hemisphere, have functions that are characteristic of, and unique to, that lobe and are separated from adjacent structures by named fissures. Where the when the term ''lobus limbicus'' is not used, its constituent parts are considered as the medial portions of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 03:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

== Sulci ==

Hi Arcadian. I agree that my inclusion of [[Cingulate sulcus]] in the merger of [[Cingulate gyrus]] into [[Cingulate cortex]] was over-enthusiastic – thanks for your attention to this.

It does raise an interesting issue though: 'sulcus' may refer either to a 'depression or fissure in the surface of an organ' (as defined at [[sulcus]]), or to the cortex contained therein. This leads to oddities such as the current text of [[Superior temporal sulcus]]: 'The superior temporal sulcus is the first sulcus inferior to the lateral fissure. It is involved in the perception of where others are gazing.'

Do you think this is potentially confusing? If so, should this be explained at [[sulcus]], or should each '...sulcus' article be reworded, such as 'The cortex within the STS...'? Or am I making something of nothing? (I suppose 'gyrus' has an analogous pair of meanings, and that doesn't bother me so much for some reason...)

Thanks for your input as ever. [[User:Neurotip|Neurotip]] ([[User talk:Neurotip|talk]]) 08:32, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
:It could be a useful clarification to add to [[Sulcus (neuroanatomy)]], something like "although in the most formal usage, the sulci refer to demarcations between gyri, occasionally the name of a sulcus is also used as a landmark to describe the cortex on either side of the gyrus, in the same way that geographical borders can refer to land near the border on both sides." --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 10:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

== Myeloid blood tests ==

{{tl|Myeloid blood tests}} is really very badly named. Nobody calls these tests by that name - it creates a level of organisation that does not exist in real life. Perhaps you could find a way of naming it better, but please change it. At any rate, [[coagulation]] has extremely little to do with myeloid lineage tests, unless you want to make it all dependent on platelets being myeloid. Again, wouldn't you prefer to organise this in a slightly different way? There are enough coagulation tests to put them in a separate box. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 21:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:I don't object to putting the coagulation tests in a separate box. I also don't object to a different name. The goal was to get the old "blood tests" nav down to a more reasonable size, and to find the cleanest seams for the split. I do notice when reviewing paperwork and reference books that the tests involving RBCs and those involving platelets are almost always consecutive, so I do think this reflects a legitimate level of organization, even if the name for it is uncertain, in that they both affect conditions ''of'' the blood, and not just information found ''in'' the blood.

== mivacurium chloride ==

Arcadian-two comments - I noticed that you had added the ref for discontinuance of mivacurium in the US - that is not true in fact. It is still available in the US - it is just that it is not promoted heavily as it once was in the 90s - primarily because Glaxo got out of the anesthesia market in 1998/1999 - although the company still markets the portfolio including mivacurium in the EU. I therefore would like to have that false reference removed if possbile.  Secondly, I have added material to atracurium, gantacurium and mivacurium - but I am handicapped by the lack of knowledge on drawing chemical structures on Wiki to illustrate some of the textual information - how can I solicit help from someone with this?

==Alcoholism and alcohol dependence==
Hi Arcadian, I see that you undid my redirect of alcohol dependence to alcoholism. Currently the alcohol dependence article has listed ICD10 which says that dependence on alcohol is alcoholism but you say they are not the same. What difference is there between alcoholism and alcohol dependence in your view?--[[User:Literaturegeek|<span style="color:blue">Literature</span><span style="color:red">geek</span>]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Literaturegeek |<span style="color:orange">''T@1k?''</span>]] 23:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
:Alcoholism is a term with no defined medical meaning. I've noticed you've referenced http://www.who.int/substance_abuse/terminology/who_lexicon/en/ a couple of times. Here's the first half definition from the [[World Health Organization]]: "alcoholism (F10.2) A term of long-standing use and variable meaning, generally taken to refer to chronic continual drinking or periodic consumption of alcohol which is characterized by impaired control over drinking, frequent episodes of intoxication, and preoccupation with alcohol and the use of alcohol despite adverse consequences. The term alcoholism was originally coined in 1849 by Magnus Huss. Untill the 1940s it referred primarily to the physical consequences of long-term heavy drinking (beta alcoholism in Jellinek's typology). A narrower concept is of alcoholism as a disease (see alcoholism, disease concept of) marked by loss of control over drinking, caused by a pre-existing biological abnormality, and having a predictable progressive course. Later, the term was used by Jellinek and others to denote the consumption of alcohol leading to any type of harm (physical, psychological, or social; individual or societal). Jellinek subdivided alcoholism thus defined into a series of "species" designated by Greek letters (see Jellinek's typology). The inexactness of the term led a 1979 WHO Expert Committee* to disfavour it, preferring the narrower formulation of alcohol dependence syndrome as one among a wide range of alcohol-related problems. Alcoholism is not included as a diagnostic entity in ICD-IO (see dependence syndrome)." When terms with precise meanings like [[alcohol dependence]] get merged into terms without precise meanings like [[alcoholism]], it becomes very difficult to make the accurate distinctions needed in the linked articles. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 23:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

== Chemical elements ==

Hi Arcadian, you split out the toxicology section of several articles. My question is now was this near 100% removal necessary? The [[chromium]] article staes now that III is not very toxic while VI is carcinogenic. This two sentences are a little weak for a Goodarticle on chromium. The  link to a Hollywood movie Erin Brockovich was left in and this is for the toxicology of chromium the for me least important fact. I would like to have a little bit more than two sentences on toxicology in the article. The splitting of articles for example [[arsenic]] and [[radon]] was done when the health part overwhelmed the rest of the article not at a point where it was a equally represented section.--[[User:Stone|Stone]] ([[User talk:Stone|talk]]) 21:44, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

== Diverticulosis ==

Hi!  I wonder if you could take a look at [[Diverticulosis]], an article which you worked on last month.  The bulk of this article has been written by a single editor, who clearly knows his subject.  However, he seems unfamiliar with the formatting of references and other Wikipedia formatting details.  The references he provides are numerous, but he has left numbers to them littering the article, and the bottom of the reference list has a link to his user page.  I'm a bit of a novice myself at such things, or I would attempt to fix these myself.  Also, I have almost zero medical knowledge, so I'm reluctant to change the content of the article for fear of introducing factual errors. I have made a number of punctuation, spelling and grammar edits, but I think that's about as far as I can go with it.  One last thing I should mention, if you do decide to edit the article, is that you may find yourself dealing with an "ownership" issue.  Thanks, and cheers! --[[User:Captain Infinity|Captain Infinity]] ([[User talk:Captain Infinity|talk]]) 17:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian. What do you think of changing "Never to Phase III" in the above template to simply "Development terminated", so it can be used for drugs that went to phase III but no further (such as [[torcetrapib]] and [[tasosartan]])? Best, [[User:Fvasconcellos|Fvasconcellos]]<small>&nbsp;([[User talk:Fvasconcellos|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Fvasconcellos|c]])</small> 03:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

::Well, I'd say it's just as easy if not easier.

:::If you want to make the change, I don't object and won't revert. (I think it may introduce some complexities, though.  It encourages the reader to think of drugs primarily as products created by a company. Just because one company stops developing a drug doesn't necessarily mean that development is terminated.

== Conflict in Article of Andre Geim, winner of 2010 Nobel Prize ==

Hi,
I am a foreigner and a simple reader of Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your job. 
Frankly say, Editing article:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Geim, is in a wrong way, by colluding of some editors and admins there. 
Their IDs are: Therexbanner, Gladsmile, Narking, Christopher Connor, RobertMfromLI, NickCT, Beetstra, 7.  These Users are trying by 
reverting correct edits of the  article, and doing a sort of anagram and "misusing" information in sources,  show Mr. Andre Geim (winner 
of 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics)  is not a Jewish and he has another ethnic.  They seem like pure (but a bit hidden)vandalism.
All correct RS sources, like: 

-	http://www.scientific-computing.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=1,

-	http://www.russia-ic.com/education_science/science/breakthrough/1176/, 

-	http://www.forward.com/articles/131944/

-	http://www.gazeta.ru/science/2010/10/07_a_3426604.shtml

-	http://www.kfki.hu/chemonet/osztaly/kemia/ih.pdf

-	http://onnes.ph.man.ac.uk/~geim/pt.html

-	http://www.forward.com/articles/131944/

-	http://www.russia-ic.com/education_science/science/breakthrough/1176/

-	…



clearly  show that Mr. Andre Geim is  a Jewish (he repeatedly mentioned about his Jewishness, [subject of self-identification]) in ethnical 
point of view and his family was originated from Germany(he also several times mentioned that his family are German [origin]). 
Nowadays German is a general word, which could means: Citizenship, Nationality, Origin, residentship, and so on. When Geim is taking 
about German being of his family, clearly and logically he talks about their origin before emigration to Russia. 
There is the same situation about Richard Feynman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman.
By the way  in a  reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andre_Geim_interview_to_Yedioth_Ahronoth,_Oct_15_2010,_p._25.jpg, (that 
several times misused by above Users) Geim also said a story concerning Jewishness (clearly in religious point of view) of his 
grandmother, that of course it doesn’t mean that only his grandmother was a Jewish. 
Now in article as I checked the history of the article, above Users by reverting the correct edits there, try to present and show by their 
wrong way Mr. Geim  an “ethnic” German person. The point is that in any RS sources, Geim hasn’t say that he has such ethnic, and he 
never used word “ethnic” there.
Andre Geim won the Nobel Prize in the beginning of October; unfortunately, right after his winning until now, above Users kept the text 
of the article in a wrong position.
In any case, if you have time, please check this Users carefully. By the way USER:Gladsmile, repeatedly reverted and undid the edits 
there, without any explanation(even wrong one). Personaly, seems like an extrimist  Vandalism. Best[[User:Alexander468|Alexander468]] ([[User talk:Alexander468|talk]]) 17:04, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== Intravascular lymphoma ==

It makes sense to have a separate article for ''[[intravascular lymphoma]]'' (IL), as not all intravascular lymphomas are B-cell derived.  The reason I merged in ''[[intravascular large B-cell lymphoma]]'' (ILBCL) is-- it is very stubby... and I thought one stubby article is better than two.  

ILBCL is not a synomym for IL as you imply by your edits.  The article I cited (Wang et al.) makes this point as it attaches ''intravascular'' to a T-cell neoplasm.  The fact that some people use IL and ILBCL interchangeably doesn't prove the point either-- it just means there is confusion in the literature.    The one reference you provide[http://books.google.com/books?id=PSgF0KvVwBoC&pg=PA175] makes the point that the markers (T vs. B) aren't that important-- it is really the fact that they buggers are intravascular... which is also the clinically relevant point (as with no discrete mass lesion + non-leukemic-like blood results = hard to diagnosis before autopsy). 

There is precedent in [[WP]] for this: ''[[Hodgkin lymphoma]]'' (HL). HL is a category that includes [[NLPHL]] and classical HL (which is further subdivided in nodular sclerosis HL, mixed cellularity HL, lymphocyte rich HL, lymphocyte poor HL).  On WP, HL isn't broken down into classical and non-classical (which are the clinically relevant categorizations).  It is HL and NLPHL.  

The article ''intravascular lymphoma'' was ''not'' created as a specific diagnostic entity; MEDMOS doesn't apply here [[AFAIK]].  Further, not all articles are a specific diagnosis with ''one'' clear etiology, e.g. [[cirrhosis]].

== How can one tell if a category is included in another? ==

Hi Arcadian.  Thanks for your work on [[Ciliopathy]].

I do, however, have a question about your recent edit to remove [[tl|Category:Genetic disorders]] from the article.  Your rationale was that it was redundant to the [[tl|Category:Ciliopathy]] which you recently added to the article (and I believe you created that category as well).  

I'm not much of a Wiki-knowledgeable person on the whole category thing, but I can't see, through looking at the category tree, where [[tl|Category:Ciliopathy]] is necessarily a part of, or subset of, [[tl|Category:Genetic disorders]].  That being the case, I can't see how the GenDisorders cat was redundant.  Can you help me understand this?  Cheers.  [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 17:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

== Hand deformities ==

Hi Arcadian,

A while back I posted a merge proposal to merge [[Cleft hand]] into [[Ectrodactyly]], following some comments made by another editor at [[WT:MED]].  No-one commented either way, other than me - even though I advertised the proposal appropriately.  I came back to it today and had another look, and now I feel its part of a bigger problem.  I still believe the two articles should be merged, and since no-one cared to express an opinion either way, other than me, I figured I should just go ahead and be bold.  I started thinking that there should be some sort of umbrella article on [[hand deformity]], and I found the stub you created last year, which only includes a link to Madelung's as an example.  I don't really think that's such a great example, btw, because Madelung's is really a distal radius/wrist deformity, but that's just me being pedantic.  Then I found a redirect from [[hand deformities]] into [[hand]] which had a pretty uninspiring list of conditions therein.  I started expanding this a bit, but decided hand deformity is really worthy of its own article, at least to serve as a classification and starting point for readers to explore from.  Considering everything that could potentially come under this umbrella of hand deformity, it could become a fairly substantial exercise of collating, linking, merging and redirecting!  You may be aware I tend to edit here in a fairly intermittent fashion - too much going on IRL to dedicate time consistently - so its something I could plug away at from time to time, or I could publicise it as a collaborative thing at WT:MED, or I could just invite interested editors, like you, based on the histories of the atricles involved.  I'm wondering what your opinion on this is, because you seem to have some interest, and because over the years I've been coming and going here I've noticed your approach to WP seems reasonable and well rounded.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. [[User:Mattopaedia|<span style="color:Indigo;"><b>Matto</b></span>]][[Special:Contributions/Mattopaedia|<span style="color:DodgerBlue;">paedia </span>]][[User talk:Mattopaedia|<font color='Olive'> <sup>Say G'Day!</sup></font>]] 01:27, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

: Because [[MeSH]] has an [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/mesh/2010/MB_cgi?field=uid&term=D006226 entry] for "hand deformities", I think it makes sense to have an article for [[hand deformity]].

== Template:Lipoprotein metabolism ==

I apologize for removing all but one of these templates.  There was a recent change to the template that has created a reference below the reference tag which causes the page to have issues and wind up in no refs backlog.  Found on the first one that it was a reference and adding a ref tag below it worked because there were no other references on the page. [[User:We hope|We hope]] ([[User talk:We hope|talk]]) 23:51, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
:Fixed. --[[User:Arcadian|Arcadian]] ([[User talk:Arcadian#top|talk]]) 18:12, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::I ended up removing the [[Template:StatinPathway_WP430|StatinPathway template]] from the Lipoprotein metabolism template for a few reasons. We developed the interactive pathway map template as an MCB and Gene Wiki proposal with community input. The template serves to highlight the functions of specific genes in the context of pathways of common interest. One aspect of the template that was considered important was to make use of in-lined references rather than to place external references within the body of the article. This feature has been added and removed, back and forth during the month, and I'm currently discussing its fate with another wikipedian. Regardless, the inclusion of interactive pathway maps in the lipoprotein metabolism template is less than ideal, since it does not take advantage of the particular strengths of the template (e.g., gene-dependent cropping) and obscures the reference section when transcluded under <nowiki>{{{reflist}}}</nowiki>.  If you feel strongly about the added value of a pathway inserted into the metabolism template (an effect I'm not particularly a fan of since it doesn't fit nicely and may violate [[WP:UNDUE|undue weight]]), I could develop an alternative template that is collapsable.

== Template:Eukaryota_classification ==

I think you were wrong to remove the disclaimer I added to this template. In the section [[Eukaryote#Phylogeny]] there are five cladograms shown. (One could add a few more from the plethora of papers around, but it seems to me that five is enough to make the point: there is no consensus.) The template more-or-less corresponds to the first two cladograms (full references for all cladograms are in the article).  It does not correspond to the next three, none of which show an "AH" grouping, as they keep the Chromalveolata+Rhizaria together. If there is any kind of consensus in very recent papers (2009 onwards) it is probably ''against'' the template's splitting off of Hacrobia, which is supported only by older papers. Hence I think it is quite misleading to show the template as though it is an agreed consensus classification when it is not. I certainly don't wish to enter into an edit war over this, but I think there are good reasons for a warning of some kind at this point, rather than a different template. Why do you think a warning is inappropriate? Would you prefer a changed template? [[User:Peter coxhead|Peter coxhead]] ([[User talk:Peter coxhead|talk]]) 17:59, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

You created this article on the Phaeista saying it is a "grouping" of heterokonts, from the literature you cite in the article.

::A clade is a group, a group with an evolutionary relationship. When an article or book calls a group monophyletic or a clade, it has a specific and defined meaning. Your tendency to reduce clades to just groups is inaccurate. A far larger inaccuracy right now is your placement of the Rhodophyta in the Chromalveolata; although this was probably just a typo on your part.
::If a source calls the taxon monophyletic or a clade, please use that language rather than down-grading it. I can recommend some reading material, if you would like.

== Photic sneeze reflex and ACHOO syndrome ==

I've been looking some at the [[ACHOO syndrome]] article and I saw your merge from December of Photic sneeze reflex. That certainly was necessary as they appear to have been almost identical articles. Did you have to merge in other articles, or were they simpler redirects (there are at least three other names I can see for the same phenomenon)?

I was planning to clean up a few things on it but wondered your thoughts on that. For example, the spreading disease section. It appears to draw the conclusion that this condition causes sneezing, and because sneezing can cause disease, this condition can spread disease.

==SCnc and MCnc==

You recently added SCnc and MCnc to [[molar concentration]] and [[mass concentration_(chemistry)]]. I've studied chemistry, and I've never heard of these abbreviations. Are they really used? Maybe in your field, in medicine? Also, apart from the wikipedia article, a google search for "SCnc concentration" only yielded 1 single page where this abbreviation is used. I think the current location of the abbreviation is too prominent. Maybe something like this would be better:

"In medicine, the abbreviation MCnc is sometimes used for mass concentration"

I'm curious why you moved the [[French Paradox]] article to use a title in lowercase. I've reverted such moves in the past due to prior discussion on the article talk page.

You (generaly) would only choose to go on them if you are currently ill or going to become ill if you don't. The problem perhaps with a [[:Category:Medical nutrition therapy]] is that there is some overlap where dietary changes that anyone might choose to make (such as avoiding alcohol) are ones that certain folk are advised to make as part of treating or managing a disease.

A tag has been placed on [[Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: '''Click here to contest this speedy deletion''' which appears inside of the speedy deletion (<code><nowiki>{{db-...}}</nowiki></code>) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

==[1q21.1 deletion syndrome==

Saw you removed the references to the categories Hematology and Congenital disorders. I think this is not right. 1q21.1 deletion syndrome can have a direct influence as a blood disease due to the fact that the TAR-genes are involved. Patients can have trouble with their thrombocypts, which appears to me as a blood disease.
1q21.1 deletion syndrome is a problem that starts at the moment of conception. So, it is definitely a birth problem in my opinion.

I noticed that you re-worked [[cardiac amyloidosis]].  

Why was ''[[senile systemic amyloidosis]]'' (SSA) merged into the hereditary TTR form of amyloidosis ([[transthyretin-related hereditary amyloidosis]])?

AFAIK, SSA does not have mutated [[transthyretin]] - as per Westermark ''et al.'', who I had cited in the (old) SSA article ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Senile_systemic_amyloidosis&oldid=374076830 old version of SSA article]).  OMIM seems to also state this.[http://omim.org/entry/105210]

:{{cite journal |author=Westermark P, Sletten K, Johansson B, Cornwell GG |title=Fibril in senile systemic amyloidosis is derived from normal transthyretin |journal=Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. |volume=87 |issue=7 |pages=2843–5 |year=1990 |month=April |pmid=2320592 |pmc=53787 |doi= 10.1073/pnas.87.7.2843|url=http://www.pnas.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=2320592}}

I think the redirect was in error --unless I am missing something. 

Above stated... all the cardiac amyloidoses look the same at the light microscopic level. Ergo, the image I took of SSA could be borrowed for the hereditary form of TTR amyloidosis... until one of that specifically can be found.

== Problem with refseq links in protein template ==

Hi, I was trying to update our page on [[cAMP receptor protein]], but noticed that there seems to be a problem with the refseq link.  In particular, it should point at the refseq database, not the UCSC genome browser.  Do you know what the story is?  I saw this was previously discussed on the template's talk page, but still wasn't sure.  Thanks! [[User:SocratesJedi|SocratesJedi]] | [[User_talk:SocratesJedi|Talk]] 23:16, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

==Copyright problem?==
Hi. You were not notified, I see, but an article you created on [[Trematode infection]] has been blanked as a copyright problem. Because you weren't notified, I'm relisting this one. Generally we don't look at listings until a week after the author has been notified, but under the circumstances I did look to verify that the IP who blanked the article has cause for concern. He does, as aside from a few words, the content is copied from its source. 

I'm actually wondering - especially given that the date the source was accessed predates the creation of the article by a good span of time - if you split this from somewhere and forgot to attribute it.

There is no doubt that they predate us, [http://web.archive.org/web/20020926190858/http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/LifeScience/GeneralBiology/Microbiology/ParasiticFlukes/ParasiticFlukes.htm]. I have not been able to find anything to verify that the material is compatibly licensed or public domain. If it is, of course, we'll want to provide full attribution. 

If you have anything to add about the situation, please either place it at the article's talk page or at the current copyright problems board listing, at [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 October 31]]. :) Thanks. --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 00:08, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

== Olivopontocerebellar atrophy ==

Could you take a look at the [[Olivopontocerebellar_atrophy|Olivopontocerebellar atrophy]] article and, in particular, my comments on the [[Talk:Olivopontocerebellar_atrophy|talk]] page?  My impression is that unlike the term Shy-Drager, which has been deprecated, OCPA continues to be a frequently used term, but one whose meaning has changed from a particular disorder to a term denoting the degeneration of neurons in specific areas of the brain (regardless of the disorder causing this degeneration).

== MSU Interview ==

Dear Arcadian,

My name is Jonathan Obar [[user:Jaobar]], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community,  and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-_New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:
* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name [[User:Jaobar/Admins_to_Interview_List_1|HERE]] instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --[[User:Jaobar|Jaobar]] ([[User talk:Jaobar|talk]]) 04:21, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

== Would like your input on an Anatomy merger issue you discussed previously ==
Last month you commented [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anatomy/Archive_2#Merging_stubs|here]] that Taylor should have to make a case on why Wikipedia would be better by having articles removed before doing so. He has created a page and without using [[Template:Moveto]] or actually participating in any discussion with the community about whether or not it would be good, has changed 10 distinct muscle articles into redirects to his new page. This is being discussed at [[Talk:Extrinsic_extensor_muscles_of_the_hand#Merge]]. I personally like the new page but I don't think it is a replacement for the 10 previous articles. I believe we have lost important information in doing this, and bots have already redirected all the muscle pages to his new article.

I reverted the redirects because I and some other editors (Xris0, Fama Clamosa) have voiced disagreement with it, but he has reverted that and once again removed the articles and changed them into redirects to his new page. I had at the time attempted a compromise, by adding a link to his new page on all 10 of the articles, but that was not enough. I am not sure what to do at this point, it's exhausting to go through and restore the redirects, and if he keeps changing them back, there would be no point fixing the old redirects since bots love to go around and 'update' them (which causes problems).

In reading his reasoning (he has requested we discuss it on the new article's talk page) do you think he's made enough of a case for it? I personally found it helpful how the old articles had images with the muscle highlighted, it made understanding where it was very easy.

== Alexia (acquired dyslexia) ==

Hi This is becoming too silly. Alexia is an acquired dyslexia and not a condition so what is all this nonsense about. Miss leading and miss informing  readers. [[User:Dolfrog|dolfrog]] ([[User talk:Dolfrog|talk]]) 23:06, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
: sorry about th rant but I have been stalked around the internet, even on wikipedia a couple of years ago, about these issues by the various dyslexia industries who do not want Alexia to be recognised as the acquired version of dyslexia. There is a need for the existing Dyslexia article to be split, the bulk of the current content should be moved to a new developmental dyslexia article, wihr rhe remain dyslexia article having a summary of what dyslexia is and summaries of the two main types of dyslexia; Developmental dyslexia and Alexia. This was supposed ot be the next stage of the revisions of 2009-2010. Alexia is part of [[aphasia]] [[agnosia]] and related issues, it all becomes very complicated, and there is a need to try to standardise the nbames being used. Again sorry about the rant but this can become stressful which ius why I took over a year away from Wikipedia [[User:Dolfrog|dolfrog]] ([[User talk:Dolfrog|talk]]) 23:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:GJA1]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

{{center|''The page title has been entered with an error - but instead of deleting it, its author then moved the entire page to a new, more correct title. Currently, nothing links here and there is hardly an chance this erroneous title would ever come up in any search.''}}

Under the [[WP:CSD#General criteria|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. 

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:GJA1|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

==[[Vesicular appendages of epoophoron]]==
Years back you started this article. I do not know what to make of it, so I need your help here. I started an article on [[paratubal cyst]]s and would think that hydatids of Morgagni (HoMs) should have a paragraph in this. As paratubal cysts have an ICD9 code, HoMs then have the same (as larger lesions or lesions that could lead to torsion need intervention). HoMs are represented in the recent medical literature and of interest as a possible problem. Now, where does "vesicular appendages of epoophoron" fit in? You may see that I first tried to place HoMs into it, but VAoE is shown as variant of normal development and has no apparent clinical issues that can be referenced. So it made more sense to keep Homs within the paratubal cyst article, as a special variant. Are VAoE and HoM really the same - HoMs do not seem to be derivatives of the epoophoron? I have never come across the term "VAoE", the references of the article do not work out, and I do no find articles about it? What do you suggest?

== Heme ==

Hi, To you it might take a long trip down memorylane, but once you added some chemical formules to the lemma [[heme#Major hemes|Heme, table "Major Hemes"]]. In the lemma several chemical formulas are presented in a way suggesting there is only gross counting of the atoms present in the molecule. To me as a chemist the form used is rather strange. Carbon and hydrogen are menthioned first, as expected, but rest of the atoms I expect in alphabetical order of symbol. Is there any reason, biological, medical(?) to use a different order? If not so, I think I will feel free to write them in a more chemical way: eg C<sub>49</sub>H<sub>56</sub>O<sub>6</sub>N<sub>4</sub>Fe would change into C<sub>49</sub>H<sub>56</sub>FeN<sub>4</sub>O<sub>6</sub>.

== Cardioplegia ==

I see you contributed to the [[Cardioplegia]] entry.  

Now there is clearly something wrong in the following paragraph, which is incomplete in at least two points, perhaps the remnant of an unfinished edit: 

"and then cold cardioplegia is given into the heart through the aortic root. Blood supply to the heart arises from the aorta root through coronary arteries. is in diastole thus ensuring that the heart does not use up the valuable energy stores (ATP- adenosine triphosphate) . Blood is commonly added to this solution in varying amounts from 0-100%. Blood acts a buffer and also supplies nutrients to the heart during ischemia." 

However, I am not knowledgeable enough to fix it. Can you do it, or find someone who can?

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Phlebostatic axis]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Page is a 'how to' that contains no actual content useful to readers'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Phlebostatic axis|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:LT910001|LT910001]] ([[User talk:LT910001|talk]]) 08:54, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

== [[Uniport]] ==

Hello Arcadian, 
Regarding the redirect [[Uniport]] which you created, the same name also applies to [[University of Port Harcourt]], I think it's best a disambiguation page be created so it can be shared with other pages where the name is applicable. Please do let me know what you think. Thank you. [[User:Stanleytux|Stanleytux]] ([[User talk:Stanleytux|talk]]) 20:14, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

== Odontoma ==

A reader contact Wikipedia and asked an obvious question about [[Odontoma]]

In 2009 you added the statement:

<blockquote>
''22% of odontogenic tumors are odontomas.''
</blockquote>

to [[Odontoma]]
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Odontoma&diff=next&oldid=261975259 your edit]

Two years later, an IP added the statement:
<blockquote>
''In 2011, 66% of odontogenic tumors are odontomas. University of Louisville School of Dentistry.''
</blockquote>

The IP had only two edits ever. I am hoping you can sort this out.--[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#002868;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 22:15, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
