Hey Tim, I saw your Qu. in an edit on the [[tiger rockfish]] page about '''<sup>o</sup>N'''. I think it's referring to a [[latitude]] (35 degrees North) rather than a temperature -- although I don't know enough about this to go in and confidently add this info to the article (!) -- picked out of reference #4, under "climate". Hopefully this helps just a little!

Paroxetine
Hi. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the Paroxetine page. Warnings in the opening paragraph of that page are harshing and misleading than on the pages of other SSRI's. In my view, warnings about "suicide ideation" belong in a sub section and not the opening paragraph. Why is it that the risk of "suicide ideation" gets highlighted, but not the reduction in risk of actual suicide. Here is an article you may find useful: http://www.cleveland.com/nation/index.ssf/2008/11/after_2_decade_decline_teen_su.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.150.2.55 (talk) 17:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Can you look over this article? It has an old tag on it asking for verification by an expert.--BirgitteSB 01:18, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Continuing HIV Discussion
I wanted to continue the HIV discussion on this page - going further from antibodies and asking for some help, if you have time. Ok, I need to explain things so you can better understand, and I hope you'll take the time to read it. I want to first know if you believe it's impossible to cure AIDS as well? AIDS, which is defined as less than 200 CD4, and to cure it you just need to raise CD4 over 20% or 200. In your opinion, if CD4 is at 70, is it impossible to get it over 200? Like a consistently increasing CD4 count and consistently decreasing viral load, the vl less than 3-fold and consistent.
I disagree with what you are saying about HIV, that its impossible to cure. Think of a product that acts like irradiation: it kills all harmful organisms, it eradicates them, but it does NOT kill any "good" organisms. If such a product existed, could it cure someone of HIV? I see what you are saying about it living inside cells, a report I read said that HIV infects and replicates in CD4 cells, then it eventually "bursts" from them, destroying the cell, and populating the body with more of the virus... Is that correct? And is that what you were referring to in your reference article? The HIV being inside CD4 cells?
Ok, so here's why I'm so interested. There was a U.S. pharm company called #^*%, FDA registered and DEA licensed. It employed a few highly skilled doctors, former U.S. college professors, etc. The point is, it wasn't some multi-billion dollar company, it was formed by someone's life savings, and people who wanted to "save lives" anyway, they got big, aligned themselves with quite a few professors in charge of labs at north-American universities, and also the historically renowned Dr. Burgdorfer and his entire NIH laboratory. Together, all those doctors developed a product that worked by killing only harmful organisms in the body - viruses, bacterial and fungal infections, etc. So that's the product I'm talking about...
It was clinically tested (yes in vitro) against numerous AIDS related infections, Lymes, bacterial infections, and HIV multiple times. It inhibited everything. Then, it was tested against HIV in vivo in 2 patients one with full blown AIDS and a CD4 count of like 5 and another with HIV, Herpes, and Hepatitis B. It consistently lowered viral loads, greatly increased CD4, etc. Anyways, special interests interfered, #^*%'s president was smart and got the product grandfathered in under some clause, and even got it registered with the FDA as an OTC. Anyway, now it's sold under the classification as "dietary supplement" but the manufacturer is likely shutting down, and decided to donate mass amounts of product stocks to a non-profit organization against HIV, now focusing on cure because of this product.
I'm a person working with this organization, and we offer everything completely free to HIV patients. We just need a protocol to determine if someone is cured, after CD4 counts normalize, after PCR type tests cannot detect it in the blood, etc. That's why I'm asking about it. So, would the antibody test be enough? You're saying they use RT-PCR to diagnose, which is just a viral load or NAT, right? And I read that they don't use that for an official diagnosis, that they use ALISA and Western Blot as the official diagnosis. Anyway, if HIV is no longer in the blood, does that mean it's still in the body? So, along with the above questions, can a product that kills HIV, that eradicates it, can it cure an HIV patient? Surely you agree it can turn an AIDS patient back to HIV, right? And can you please give your opinion on a protocol for determining if someone has been cured? This was as quick as an explanation as I could give, it is all true, if you want more info then let me know. I don't know how you reply, if it's on my talk page, or this page, or what. I'll copy this onto my talk page, if you want to delete it off of yours. Thank you so much for taking the time to read all of this. Jason1170 (talk) 16:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The Shame of a City Was Incorrectly Deleted
Hello, Tim. You deleted The Shame of a City, claiming that it was a blatant copy of a celebrity website. Why was there no attempt to contact me, the writer of the Wiki page? Did it ever occur to you that the other website directly copied what I wrote for Wiki?
I'm sorry to take such a tone but I have to admit I'm angry that I've had to spend more than an hour of my time trying to navigate the extremely confusing and un-user friendly process by which I have to communicate or do anything else on Wiki. Please let me know how I might be able to prove to you that I wrote the Wiki article and that someone unknown to me copied and pasted it onto the other site. Perhaps you can check the dates of both postings.
Regardless, I hope that you can please restore the entire Shame article because over the months I have made changes to it that are not reflected in any of my original documents stored on my computer (most notably, the citations). I do appreciate the existence of Wiki and am grateful to people like you who volunteer to help keep it free of abuse but I, as I said, am frustrated that you took the "guilty until proven innocent" approach, failing to consider that the other site is violating copyright law, rather than "accusing" a veteran journalist who has never stolen anything in her life, especially someone else's writing. Thank you. Tara Nurin

Auditory Integration Training NPOV dispute
Please note that I am receiving a warning for violating the 3RR rule, and yet the other member of this disute - Eubulides - has received no such warning, despite the fact that he was the first in this dispute to make a reversal! Your insistence that the medical references are the only reliable resources - completely flies in the face of the fact that AIT is NOT a medical intervention. This being the case it is incomprehensible that the medical fraternity should insist on excluding the expert information by those involved in this approach as practitioners, authors and trainers... this attitude, if rolled out to all wikipedia entries, would mean only uninformed or misinformed single POV entries by outsiders will be maintained... with consequent loss of reliability of the encyclopedia as a whole. Surely not your goal? Wiki urges a balanced view stating all relevant aspects of the topic... yet in this case only one - that of Eubulides and the medical fraternity - are permitted. How does this adhere to the Wiki rules? Jvanr (talk) 07:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Tim, have you got the time to take a look? As you now this is a contribution from one of our Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008 students. We are planning to go for FAC in March. Best wishes, Graham. Graham Colm Talk 14:48, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
