Barnstar!

		The Original Barnstar
		Thank you so much for your work on improving The Double (Seattle Mariners). I didn't know the article existed until I saw a link at your page. It brought tears to my eyes to read it and hear that recording of Dave Neihaus. Tom Hulse (talk) 00:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much sir. I shall display it with pride. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 13:47, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sting Ray injury

Thank you for your response to my suggestion to add "fungal infection " to the possible consequences of a ray sting. It appears my response was truncated, so I will try again here. I apologise for cluttering the site. At your request, i found a link associating fungal infection with a sting ray injury.

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/229163466_Preliminary_investigation_on_antimicrobial_and_proteolytic_property_of_the_epidermal_mucus_secretion_of_marine_stingrays.

I received a classic sting ray injury on 06JUL12 in Kenya and after initial testing from swabs was advised that the site had a fungal infection by my local medical practice in early AUG12 after returning to Queensland. On 03OCT12, the Infectious Diseases (ID) unit of Nambour General Hospital advised that the fungus was a plant pathogen called Lasiodiphlodia theobromae. Treatment using Vfend(r) had commenced on 29AUG12 and clinical progress has been noted. Next check up is on 22OCT12. The Mycology reference lab of South Australia has not published a paper nor has anyone from the ID dept as far as I'm aware. The only good thing that has come out of the experience was that it's an unusual and interesting case. The reason for publishing this info for awareness. I was lucky to have been in a first world country, my ulcer had developed to grade 111 and the outcome could have been devastating if untreated as antibiotics had not worked. If of interest, see my comments under my short Youtube clip titled "Kenya:Stingray attack".

Here's a link involving the transfer of another pathogen by ray to a wound site: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm200003163421118. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ukunda (talk • contribs) 06:30, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And another link that provides date on a fungal infection from a stingray. See notes 'Heimenz Jahr, Kennedy B, Kwong-Chung JC about 2/3rd of the way down: http://www.toxinology.com/fusebox.cfm?staticaction=marine_vertebrates/ns-stingray_injuries.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ukunda (talk • contribs) 13:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Responded at Talk:Stingray. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 13:46, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the update. At Specialist Registrar involved with my treatment for the fungal infection will apparently write up a case report. Will provide a reference in due course, if it is published.(Ukunda (talk) 13:10, 23 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Earnest Killum Jr.

Earnest Killum Jr. was a rising basketball star before his life was cut short by heath issues, I need help creating a page for him because his story is so relivant to our community.

I'll take a look when I have some more time, but this individual must meet the notability criteria for inclusion in order to have a stand-alone article about him. Collegiate athletes generally do not meet the notability criteria solely for playing at the collegiate level, so we need to consider how much non-trivial coverage he has gotten in reliable sources, both during his lifetime and since. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:49, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you re: Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange

Thank you for your recent edit on the article Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. It complies with Wikipedia policies such as WP:CRYSTAL. I can tell you that there is an endemic problem in articles under the care of WP:Catholicism that WP:CRYSTAL is violated quite often by other editors. If you want the extra work (and feel free to say no) please take a look at WT:CATHOLIC for discussion about episcopal appointments and how they really work according to canon law and Church regulations. There are many, many bishop's and diocese's articles which are afflicted with the misconception that a bishop's reign begins with his appointment, and it unfortunately does not. I am slowly working through a backlog of old articles and trying to watch all the new ones, but it is rather larger than one person to stop. I have considered bringing it to WP:ANI or perhaps WP:BLPN first, and soon, because every week brings more appointments from Rome and more cleanup that I have to do to conform with Wikipedia policy. Thanks again for your edit, and have a nice day! Elizium23 (talk) 05:53, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at the relevant discussion at WT:CATHOLIC and while I support your position I don't want to commit to additional work at this time. If you do report this at ANI or BLPN drop me a line and I'll see if I can contribute anything to the discussion. If I come across articles on bishops and/or dioceses with incorrect info in the course of my normal browsing/editing I'll go ahead and correct them. Thanks for helping to improve Wikipedia! —KuyaBriBri^Talk 19:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Amccreath

From the nomination instructions: "Users must be logged in to complete steps II and III. An unregistered user who wishes to nominate a page for deletion should complete step I and post their reasoning on Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion with a notification to a registered user to complete the process."

WT:MFD hasn't had a single edit in two weeks. The suggestion to post a notification there is a stupid one imho. Why not just do it via an editsemiprotected request on the talk page? I'm always doing it that way btw. I don't mindlessly adhere to instructions which make less sense and are less viable than available alternate solutions.

At any rate, I've completed step I and since you agree and we already have a valid and clearcut deletion rationale (WP:UP#NOT: "Writings, information, discussions, and activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals"), I'd very much appreciate it if you would unbureaucratically complete steps II and III. Otherwise, I'll simply instate another edit request at the article talk page for someone else, someone who understands the folly of taking the time to post a comment pointing to "correct" process rather than taking the same or probably much less time to just quickly twinkle the userpage up for deletion. No offense, but policy wonkery makes limited sense. --87.79.231.4 (talk) 15:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
