Doubled and quadrupled commas

Hi, I noticed your use of Doubled and quadrupled commas, a notation which I have never seen before. If you invented this notation, I am interested in its genesis. It reminds me of Jacqueline Kennedy's letter-writing style (she tended to avoid periods). Perhaps you might illuminate its meaning for me? What I thought of when reading the edit, was that you were thinking multiple phrases that you were intending to fill in later, but then you cut your edit short, leaving the commas. --Ancheta Wis   (talk | contribs) 16:30, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply] 

 I will amend such irregular comma proliferations in the future, I thank you for bringing it to my 
 attention--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:55, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes



ebola article 2, Navarro College ,Texas/(cover)

Might that not be better placed, due to the low relevance of a singe college in Texas in relation to the wider epidemic, in the U.S. sub article instead section "Call for suspension of visas"? As an example of how (not) to quarantine the virus? Also it doesn't fit with the timeline since the letter was dated to 2 October per Slate.--Alcea setosa (talk) 22:22, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, This source is not reliable. It uses Wikipedia as a source. Read it carefully. --Max24 (talk) 13:16, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

you are correct--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:26, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can we be friends?/ ebola

I wanted to make sure there weren't any hard feelings about the Ebola article. You're clearly a WP:Good-faith editor, and I don't want to upset or wrong you. The new information about the Liberian infection rate was important and useful, and I hope you don't mind my revising it. I was trying to improve it according to WP:TONE and WP:MOS, as I have needed other editors to fix my own edits.

As to allegations of sockpuppetry, I recognize that I've been unusually active for a new-ish user (evidently I need more of a life). I can totally see where you're coming from, and going to an admin seems like a great response. You're welcome to go through my past and future edits, and follow instructions on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations to report me if you find evidence of misbehavior. Thanks for your efforts!

I wish you the best, and apologize again for any offense I've given you. FourViolas (talk) 02:47, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RE/ Hemopurifier [5]/(wikiproject med)^

Hi Ozzie I researched this. a) it's an early stage product which may never come into general use ( http://www.aethlonmedical.com/products/hemopurifier/index.htm ) b) it must be attached to a kidney dialysis machine - not many of those in W Africa !! ( http://m.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/14/aethlon-hemopurifier-ebola/ ) c) the patient was receiving multiple therapies and his viral load was already in decline ( http://m.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/14/aethlon-hemopurifier-ebola/ ) Cheers, Bob. Robertpedley (talk) 15:22, 15 November 2014 (UTC) Hello again, Ozzie! Please don't take my edits personally. I spend an average of 1 hour researching before I make any edit. I'll only add material if it enhances the value of the article to the reader - it's important to maintain the reputation of WP and of the Ebola pages. I'll remove any edit which doesn't meet WP guidelines or is not relevant to the page. Robertpedley (talk) 11:32, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CONAKRY Hi Ozzie The BBC lead says "Clinical trials to try to find an effective treatment for Ebola patients are to start in West Africa next month." The serum trial hasn't started yet.Bob Robertpedley (talk) 15:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ANI(decision)That's a content dispute. ANI isn't for content disputes.

[6] reviewing this diff though you are correct that his stance is not logical. The material in question was the USA answer and precautions to the Epidemic in west Africa. So it is related and belongs in the article. But that is only my opinion. I think they are suggesting you should put it Ebola virus cases in the United States. This isn't unreasonable. You really just to get with them and talk. Take it to the talk page. If that don't work open an RFC or take it to the appropriate noticeboard. There are plenty of ways to get a consensus.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 17:08, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because you've climbed quickly to a respected position on the most highly read page on Wikipedia, and I want to make sure you stay safe. Hang on to WP:AGF (and WP:ATWV!) when you feel knocked off balance by other editors.
And, of course, let them use the mountain too, even if it's inconvenient to share the path. FourViolas (talk) 13:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RE/Dyslexia (wikiproject med) [7]

Hi Ozzie10aaaa

Due to my own dyslexic issues my copy editing skills are next to zero, but i can help provide links to supporting citations and and worldcat IDs for books. I found out about my poor copy editing abilities when i tried ot edit the dyslexia article back in 2009 - 2010. There was a Dyslexia prject set of pages with a few suggested future updates. Not sure if it si still accessable. best wishes dolfrog (talk) 12:08, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is slightly dated but some of the ideas may be useful Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia and my most recent set of dyslexia links including some research papers can be found on my new Useful Dyslexia links web page which represents more my personal perpsective. Currently I am busy elsewhere but i will try to keep up with your progress with the article dolfrog (talk) 18:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would be honored to assist,thank you --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of Dyslexia

Hi Ozzie10aaaa,

While it's true when it comes to dyslexia the diagnosis is clinical and scientific, the treatment is educational.

That's why my hope is to find a home for the NICHD definition of dyslexia. In 1994 and again in 2002 the IDA lead the Definition Consensus Project in partnership with the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The resulting definition helped align the professional community and laid the groundwork for important public policy initiatives going forward.

Todayl, this definition is the cornerstone for important legislation in the U.S. that is leading to early screening, evaluation and help. It took an extraordinary commitment from a large dedicated team to reach this important milestone and it would be great to find a place on Wikipedia for this important information.

Please advise.

Best,

Dyslexia/GA2

Thanks for the thanks! Have just noticed: what does "sounding out words" in the second line of the Lead mean? ~ P-123 (talk) 12:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

P-123 dyslexics go by different routes of learning they need "sounds" to ascertain what it is they are saying or being said...in this case it simply means an emphasis on the word..example -the train is coming,,,a dyslexic would say - t-h-e t-r-a-I-n I-s c-o-m-I-n-g to get a full appreciation of the sentence, it isn't easy , thanks for asking--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:49, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I thought that is what it meant. ~ P-123 (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think "sounding out words" in the second sentence is clear enough for the general reader, but I cannot think of a better way to say it the moment. ~ P-123 (talk) 15:30, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

thank you, for informing me on this controversial med subject--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:16, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

west Africa/ebola

Hi Ozzie.. I think that Perhaps these 3 do need a little rearranging.. Guinea with the lowest cases, but the index case has to stay first, Sierra Leone second sounds good, with Liberia last Mostly because of the total case counts. The daily Case counts must be viewed cautiously, how many times has it happened that case counts slow, just before it resurfaces in a new region. Also i'm concerned about the 'Suspected case' counts that are still increasing, as well as the slowness of reports coming out of Liberia. Then again it wont move to "Contained" until WHO confirms... So I see no real problem with a little reshuffle.. GremlinSA 13:30, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note update.. Looking at latest released figures from Liberia.. Feb 28th http://www.mohsw.gov.lr/documents/Sitrep%20289%20Feb%2028th%202015.pdf - suspected:4354 Probable:1877 Confirmed:3149, and March 5th http://www.mohsw.gov.lr/documents/Sitrep%20294%20March%205th%202015.pdf suspected:4479 (+125) Probable:1879(+2) Confirmed:3149... thats 127 cases in 5 days.

I agree, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 11:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MEDDATE /(wikiproject med)^[12]

You cite MEDDATE in a lot of discussions, so I wanted to take a moment to clarify that "rule". It's meant to be a rule of thumb, rather than an absolute requirement. It doesn't say just "five years"; it says "five years or so", and those last two words matter. It also says that the rule was written for subjects that receive the most attention, like Hypertension, and not for rare diseases or other subjects that don't see much research attention.

What you really want is to consider the last few high-quality secondary sources, which (depending on the subject) might be professional-level books or review articles. We want to take advantage of what MEDDATE calls the "full review cycle": Alice published a review, Bob published a primary study, and Chris read both Alice's and Bob's papers and wrote a new review. If it took ten years to get through a full review cycle, then MEDDATE actually wants ten years, not five. Conversely, if you get three good review articles every month, then MEDDATE would rather than you used this year's or last year's best publications, instead of going back to anything that was no more than four years and 364 days old.

Humans and the Environment

Hi Ozzie10aaaa. A notification came up that you asked me a question[13], but I then saw you reverted it so assumed you changed your mind. I only just now noticed that you asked it in another format. I know Jytdog gave an answer at WT:MED#Safety of genetically modified foods, but since that thread is getting quite long and relatively stale I though I would give my 2 cents here. Feel free to move it back there if you think that appropriate.

The interactions between GMOs and the environment then the environment and humans are complicated so a straight answer may be difficult. Some of the main environmental concerns covered at the controversies page are; insects developing resistance, horizontal gene transfer to other plants, death of non-target organisms, loss of biodiversity and secondary pests becoming more prominent. The effect of these on the environment are hard to accurately predict, let alone whether they will have any indirect effect on human health. Glyphosphate-resistant weeds resulting from gene flow are unlikely to develop outside of crops as they do not provide any selective advantage in the wild, but insect resistant ones might. Loss of biodiversity is a problem with all agriculture and so is the death of non-target organisms. Everything is interconnected in some way so I can't honestly say something occurring to environment through genetic engineering will never effect human health at some point. I feel that would be true for any technology though. Most people when thinking about human health and GM food are more concerned with the direct relationship. If I eat this will it be harmful to me. I think the article is better off distinguishing between the environment and human health the way it does.

You gave an example that increased pesticides used on GM crops may lead to increased risk of cancers.[14] The theory being that GMO crops have increased pesticide use and high levels of pesticide are a risk factor for some cancers. Currently there are two main groups of GM crops on the market (Bt crops and glyphosphate resistant crops). Bt crops actually use less pesticide since they are modified to be insect resistant (so need less synthetic pesticide). The Bt toxin itself has been shown through multiple studies to be harmless to humans and even non-target insects[15][16][17]. Glyphosphate is relatively safe to humans (see Glyphosate#Human toxicity) compared to other herbicides. Any chemical application is going to be regulated under various governmental acts designed to keep toxicity levels below a certain level and this will apply to all crops including GMO ones. You also have to take into account that most toxicity studies are done using straight round-up or a similar product, whereas in practice the final food product will at most have only residue of the chemical and in most cases virtually none of the pesticide will remain. Again all this is all regulated (with-holding periods and the like) and not unique to GMO.

Anyway, I am not trying to convince you to become a supporter GM. I don't even really know where you stand on the issue. I personally see huge potential and most of the risks as being speculative, especially those related to human health. I knew a group of researchers that were trying to put vaccines in bananas. One idea being that they could be used to vaccinate kids in regions with unreliable or no power. I think this factor and many other similar ones get overlooked and the discussion is dominated by Monsanto's involvement and much of the opposition is because of them.

Waid's note.../ebola

Ozzie, I've had your page on my watch list because we work on the Ebola article together. I noticed that you deleted Waid's note. Was it by accident? I've known Waid for years and can hardly say how many times I've gone to her for advise. IMO, she's one of our best editors and I've never seen her to display the arrogance and lack of good intent that is not uncommon for this project. If she tried to help me I'd consider it an honor that she was willing to spend the time on me, a less experienced editor. Gandydancer (talk) 14:50, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

actually it was to place inline cites on articles that need it, which I will,(some individuals simply have a different way, though she is professional), ,,BTW now that I have your attention I wanted you to know its always been a pleasure to work with you (and I spoke with Brian he added some info to the article...he's OK), --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:58, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help on Post Ebola Eye image/ebola

Hi, I've uploaded an image to commons for this article, but being new to this stuff I wasn't able to provide necessary information on the copyrights status. The image actually is all around the internet and I'm fairly sure it's free. An admin on the commons told me that my only chance is to contact the original creator and ask for permission. I traced the image to here.(NYtimes article attributes it to them) But I was unable to find the image on that site, nor could I find the creator of the image.(though I found who the eye belonged to) I'm overwhelmed by the amount of work this needed and I feel like it's a newbie mistake. Is there an easy way to do this? The image obviously not essential, but I think it would be nice to have it. Hope you have time, thanks in advance.

Shielding lotion Clinical Studies/(wikiproject med)^

Thanks for taking time to reach out to me regarding my article. I do have a question regarding the Clinical studies section. I happen to have the clinical study documentation on hand, but I'm not sure these have actually been published online. How do I cite this properly? Can I just include the study title, ref number date and company that conducted the study? Thanks for your help. James Schultz (talk) 15:14, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just read the article about Medical Citations and it stated that studies where animal test subjects are used do not qualify as a "Clinical Study" and should be referred to as "Pre-Clinical Studies". Each of these studies were conducted on laboratory animals. Should I list them as "Pre-Clinical" rather than "Clinical"? Thanks James Schultz (talk) 15:20, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

James Schultz (in response to both posts) ...yes you may list them consistent with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles but first it needs to be PubMed indexed, (it needs to not be a primary study only with exceptions, are they included per Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)), any article (journal) needs to be a review or meta-analysis thus a secondary source (I should point out that it is important that you not have a conflict of interest with the article either as primary, secondary or corresponding author)....you may also use a source such as a position statement from CDC,WHO,HHS,NIH and so forth or a medical textbook, please feel free to ask should there be any questions, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:33, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ozzie10aaaa. Don't quote me on this, but I believe the initial studies referred to were primary studies conducted for a particular manufacturer. In any event, I have removed them and found some on ClinicalTrials.gov. I only used completed studies with documented results. Thanks again for your help. If you have further suggestions to improve the article, I'd really appreciate it. James Schultz (talk) 16:01, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with DYK nomination of West African Ebola virus epidemic

Ozzie10aaaa, I just had to remove the transclusion of a non-existent nomination template for this article from the DYK nominations page. You'll want to consult the DYK instructions for nominators and follow the steps there. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. You have seven days to complete the nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:52, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind: I've restored it—I just saw your post on the DYK talk page, and fixed the nomination template. I'm still not sure how you managed to get one name for the template page and another inside that very same template, but it's all set now. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:03, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]



thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:08, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]


DYK for West African Ebola virus epidemic

On 17 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article West African Ebola virus epidemic, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/West African Ebola virus epidemic. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, West African Ebola virus epidemic), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Review of article? Draft:Dan Riskin/(wikiproject med)^

I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and would like to ask for advice from a top medical contributor. The page I've been editing is Dan Riskin. I think the page is ready to move out of draft space. Would you be willing to help me by reviewing it, providing feedback as needed, and moving it out of draft space if you think it's ready? I've been seeing a lot of bad information on people involved in value-based healthcare and would like to put up real, fact-based content. If I'm successful in this one, I want to move on to other key figures in the field. Thank you so much for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NimbleToad (talk • contribs) 23:52, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

have commented on draft/talk, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:50, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you so much for your comments! I'm only related in that I also work in value-based healthcare and am frustrated by how many people are claiming credit for hard work from a relatively small group of people. I'd like to put up pages for key people. I'll work on adjusting the article so it reflects why the figure is notable and only lists fact-based commentary. If those changes are made, is it a reasonable next step to move it out of draft space?NimbleToad (talk) 03:00, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


as long as there is consensus on the talk page[30], thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:48, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you! Your revisions are great and make the page much more readable. I updated formatting and added citations where missing. I don't see any objection on the talk page. Could I ask you to please help in moving this out of draft space? NimbleToad (talk) 23:46, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


will respond at talk/article, thanks--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 01:14, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks. I've asked colleagues and they feel the information is balanced and represents important history as we go through rapid changes in health policy and clinical data use. Unfortunately, I don't know other Wikipedia editors to leave comments. I haven't seen any objections to move the page out of draft space. Once this is done, I'd like to go on to work on John Halamka, another influential individual in the field. Thanks for helping me to learn the process! NimbleToad (talk) 23:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Sorry, I should have been more clear. I don't have permission to move this out of draft space. You offered to move it out of draft space as long as there is consensus on the talk page. You've made the article much stronger and there have been no objections in talk. Could you please help with the move out of draft space? Thanks!

I understand(Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine)/(med wikiproject)^

...the esteem with which Doc is held at WP Medicine, and I share it. But when entering a complex discussion, is it not better to fully understand the issues involved, before taking a side (even with as easy as voting and side-taking is here)? Your work on the various of your editing projects makes clear you are capable of sophisticated and subtle understanding. The issues of our allowing self-published medical imagery (and the associated matter of our seeming lack of concern for patient consent) are things that could sink the ship. Please, if engaging there, read through the arguments and examples, and them vote. Thank you. Le Prof 73.210.155.96 (talk) 18:00, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. This is just a friendly reminder that you should try to use edit summaries more often. For instance, in these edits you added and removed over 30,000 bytes.

Facto Post – Issue 1 – 14 June 2017

Facto Post – Issue 1 – 14 June 2017

Editorial

This newsletter starts with the motto "common endeavour for 21st century content". To unpack that slogan somewhat, we are particularly interested in the new, post-Wikidata collection of techniques that are flourishing under the Wikimedia collaborative umbrella. To linked data, SPARQL queries and WikiCite, add gamified participation, text mining and new holding areas, with bots, tech and humans working harmoniously.

Scientists, librarians and Wikimedians are coming together and providing a more unified view of an emerging area. Further integration of both its community and its technical aspects can be anticipated.

While Wikipedia will remain the discursive heart of Wikimedia, data-rich and semantic content will support it. We'll aim to be both broad and selective in our coverage. This publication Facto Post (the very opposite of retroactive) and call to action are brought to you monthly by ContentMine.
