Nice job. Keep up the good work. --Arcadian (talk) 17:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Same to you! Nice to know also that there are others who also prefer colors to black-and-white. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Steroidogenesis diagram

Hi Mikael,

I Really like what you did with the diagram! You changed it from just another diagram into a proper illustration. Congratulations! If you nominate it as a featured picture, I'll definitely support. I understand about using a temporary png, considering the rendering issues, and I don't mind that you changed it on my page. Keep up the good work! --Slashme (talk) 14:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

In fact, here is a barnstar in appreciation:

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar

Thanks for appreciation! I admire your contributions as well. The nomination can be found at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Steroidogenesis. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

April Fool's DYK for everything

On April Fool's, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Everything, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Gatoclass (talk) 08:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

It's true I wrote about everything! Still, I cannot think of any further Did-you-know fact right now, but I'll let you hear if I come to think of one. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Virus

Hi Mikael, thanks for the new version of the overview diagram—it is excelent. Graham. Graham Colm ^Talk 14:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad you like it! If left a comment on the talk page Commons:Template_talk:Häggström_diagrams. Anyhow, I'm now trying to give a little review and expansion of the bacterial image as well. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:54, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Body Diagrams

Your diagrams are amazing !!! Wow. Greudin (talk) 18:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad you like them! Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:34, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your diagrams

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		Thank you for the work on your extensive gallery of diagrams, for making sure that each is well referenced (it's not often enough that I see a "References" section on an image page), and for including all the parts so anybody can make one. Your efforts are commendable and make a difference at many articles. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 15:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for saying thank you! And feel free to puzzle together an image from them yourself if you think one would fit somewhere. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll do my best User:Wadester16/Smile ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 19:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Influenza symptoms

Hi there, if you look through PMID 16253889 and PMID 15728170 you'll see that diarrhea is not mentioned as a symptom. Could you fix the diagram? Tim Vickers (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

It's true, diarrhea is mainly a symptom in children and may be better left out. Good these svg images are easy to change. Thanks for the review! Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem, it is a very nice diagram, I'll add a note on diarrhea in the article text. Tim Vickers (talk) 19:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Good! It's a very ongoing thing (but I hope it will start to wane ASAP). Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Sphingolipidoses.svg

Do you take requests? Sphingolipidoses.svg is a recently generated diagram that covers some important concepts, but it could use some Häggström magic. --Arcadian (talk) 17:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I do, if it interests me. And indeed, this one smells delicious. It's really good already, though, even has colors. But I think it can be even better, and I'll be able to look into it further once the exam period is over. Thanks for the notification! Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Motion Blindness joining with Akinetopsia

Based on reading both articles, they seem to be reffering to the same thing. I agree with the merger, although I think whatever they merge into needs to be an improvement over the current state of both articles. Having said that, I am no expert, so I hope there are no subtle differences between the two terms (one being a subset of the other for example??!) and would hence need to seperate articles. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 11:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Even if they would have slightly different meaning, they are obviously similar enough to be merged. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:14, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I think it has been long enough and no one else has decided to make an opposition. I say go ahead and merge them! I would do it myself, but I am aftaid I might do a poor job at it (I am having trouble judging what to include/not include in the merger, what should be merged into what as in which term is more common, what refs to keep etc...) Kind regards. :)Calaka (talk) 03:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

All right, so be it. However, it is uncertain when that task reaches the top of my to-do-list, so you're very welcome to try to do it too. After all, any errors can easily be corrected afterward - I can have a look if you drop a message. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:11, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

DYK nomination of List of extraordinary diseases and conditions

Hello! Your submission of List of extraordinary diseases and conditions at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Smallman12q (talk) 12:09, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I've made my reply there. Cheers! Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:21, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Definition of extraordinary in list

Several editors including myself have expressed concerns here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#List_of_extraordinary_diseases_and_conditions . Please weigh in on this discussion. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:43, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I made a reply there. Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:57, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Incoming links

Hi. I reviewed the incoming links to List of extraordinary diseases and conditions, and chose to remove all of them. To me, they served as little more than internal linkspam. I am thinking your objective may be List of medical conditions featured on House (TV series), which might be suitable for Wikipedia except that it already exists (see List of House episodes). --Una Smith (talk) 17:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Too bad most of the diagnoses in that series are actually relatively ordinary, although the process to getting to the proper diagnosis is far from so. I admire your effort. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

So do you want List of rare medical conditions featured on House (TV series)? --Una Smith (talk) 17:52, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn whether the conditions have been featured in the House series or not. And it wouldn't work as a reliable source for inclusion. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of extraordinary diseases and conditions

An article that you have been involved in editing, List of extraordinary diseases and conditions, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of extraordinary diseases and conditions. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Colin°^Talk 17:49, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mikael, hope there's no hard feelings about this. You do some good stuff here. I've had stuff AfD'd and it isn't fun but perhaps ultimately educational to see what other people think. See you around... Colin°^Talk 18:08, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of School age

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article School age, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

This phrase is too broad to "belong" to a single psychological theory.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. DoctorW 20:42, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing! I agree that it's too broad to belong to a specific theory, but I think deletion is actually overkill in this case. Redirected it to Human development (biology)#Physical stages of human life. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:39, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Drv for List of extraordinary diseases and conditions

An AfD for this article, which you participated in, was recently closed as "no consensus." I have request a deletion review here [1].Bali ultimate (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I made some further contributions to that article, and I would enjoy continuing that in the future as well, if it is permitted to remain. However, I think I actually better refrain from participating in further discussions regarding any deletion, because my creation of the article in the first place probably gives me some inherent bias towards wanting to keep it. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

On second thought, after having seen the actual development of the article, I proposed deletion there. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:41, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

MfD nomination of Wikipedia:WikiProject Haystack

Wikipedia:WikiProject Haystack, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Haystack and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Wikipedia:WikiProject Haystack during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Kleinzach 04:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I support deletion of the page (see discussion). Mikael Häggström (talk) 04:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

OoK

I was scanning the recent wikiproject proposals and your Project Haystack caught my eye. It occurred to me that you might be interested in the Outline of Knowledge WikiProject. We aim to create outlines of all the major areas of knowledge on Wikipedia so that users can easily and quickly find the basic articles about a topic and more in depth articles, while getting an idea of how they are related. The "final" goal skeleton outline can be found here and a specific outline that's reasonably far along can be found at outline of biology. To address one of the particular scenarios you raise in your introduction, if you had 2 minutes to learn about AIDS, at some point in a few months you could go to the Outline of AIDS and find out where you needed to go quickly. The user who is coordinating the project is The Transhumanist and they are very enthusiastic. I'm sorry that the project didn't work out; it looked like you put a lot of effort into it. On an entirely unrelated note, I love your photographs from Tibet. Made me nostalgic for bod-ja and yak dung fire. :-) --Gimme danger (talk) 06:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like a good project! Not exactly the same as the Haystack one, but I may have a look at it later when I got time. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have Häggström granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 05:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Surely I will use it with care. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

diagrams in svg

Just found Michael's diagrams in SVG. Cool! I will be using them in my Human Biology class. still need tobacco side effects and MDMA side effects. Anything in the works? Linda Baney

I'm glad you liked them! Right now I'm working on making a better tutorial to avail anybody to help themselves to whatever they want. But at least tobacco side effects is a likely candidate for another diagram, so you may well come back later and see if any is added. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Blood values (change to the combined)

An image created by you has been promoted to featured picture status Your image, File:Blood values sorted by mass and molar concentration.png, was nominated on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, gained a consensus of support, and has been promoted. If you would like to nominate an image, please do so at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Thank you for your contribution! Makeemlighter (talk) 22:38, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• Please see my note on the nomination page. Thanks :) Makeemlighter (talk) 22:40, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
• One more message: I did not replace the pictures in the articles with this newly-promoted one. It's already in a few. I leave it up to you to decide if you'd like all the articles where there are 2 separate pictures to instead have the combined picture. I'll gladly make the change if this is the case. I just wanted to make sure first. Makeemlighter (talk) 22:44, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• Good! And, for sure, it's better to have the featured picture where there currently are both the mass and molar ones. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done I ended up changing some of the colors in the captions. Maybe it was a rendering problem on my part, but they didn't match what was in the image. Also, I found that Creatine kinase, Serum total protein, and Globulin only appear in the mass part. I changed those images anyway, but I thought you might like to know in case you wanted to add them. By the way, the more I looked at this image, the more amazed I was. Great work! Makeemlighter (talk) 07:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! It's true I've changed the colors on some boxes, so extra thanks for correcting those. It's also true that some values only appear in the mass part, but I'll perhaps derive the molar values for those as well later. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:49, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Pregnancy table

Dear Mikael, I would like to create a Hungarian version of this picture: File:Prenatal development table.svg. Can you please possibly send me a version that has text layers in it? Alternatively, I can send you the Hungarian text and you can insert it into the picture. Many thanks in advance! Viktorhauk (talk) 06:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure a Hungarian version would be really useful! I'm not sure, however, about the text layer function, but the text is completely editable in Inkscape in that .svg version, so you could try that first. If downloaded incorrectly, Firefox sometimes want to save it as a non-editable .png-version. Still, if it fails, you could send me the Hungarian text.

Side-effects for psychoactive drugs

Where did you get the information for all the side-effects you list in your pictures on psychoactive drugs. The information is false 90% of the time and focuses on negative without positive effects. These images function as scare tactics.

The effects are the most common ones, which means that not everyone of them necessarily appears after each dose. The information, when not specified by any other reference in the image caption or information page, was reflecting the information in the article. If there is a picture that seems unacceptably incorrect, I could improve the references for it. Also, bodily effects of psychoactive drugs tend to be side effects. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:36, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Well for example, the picture on the Oxycodone page cites side-effects that are not mentioned in the text, and that are not known in medical literature. For example, the image cites "Seizures" as a side effect, but seizures are not listed anywhere in the text, nor are they known to occur in medical literature with regards to oxycodone. The images also don't have citations or sources at all. I don't know if you're aware of this either, but I have personally seen these images around my university, and if you are indeed the creator of these images, I would be upset with whomever is distributing your work for profit.
