Hi Arcadian. I hope you don't mind, I've removed the line breaks (separating virus and virus classification) in the template; since size seemed to have been the major concern for splitting it, I figured making it a little more compact wouldn't hurt. If you think it's clearer with the line breaks, please feel free to revert my edit. Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 19:39, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian,
I noticed in the history of edits on "Neuroblastoma" there have been a lot of external links added and removed. I understand that a "general" pediatric fundraising organization or support link for pediatric cancer is not appropriate for this page. I also noticed you put "protected external links" in the edit history so thought you would be perfect for my questions.
So I wondered two things. Right now there are two external links just added (Post Pals and Alex Lemonade Stand) that clearly do not meet the requirements for an appropriate link and they have been added and removed before repeatedly. Can you prevent that?
The other question is I do not know if the link I added to the neuroblastoma conference videos is appropriate. The organization sponsoring the NB Conference is a non-profit also raising money for NB research. They have a unique focus on "parent education" and the video presentations by neuroblastoma experts are excellent. Video presentations from the 2007 conference are also forthcoming.
What do you think? Thanks so much! DMLudwinski ( talk) 15:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your very good edits to the page. It was a slap the head moment when I saw some of them.
This stuff is actually very time consuming and hard if one wants to do a good job, I really appreciate the help.

Well, I didn't add a plaintext version as you can see
here. And last time I checked, vandalism is defined by a deliberate attempt to compromise Wikipedia. If you think that's what I'm up to simply because I added it once (without reverting mind you!), go fuck yourself and put your blocking threats where the sun never shines you're wrong. Please assume good faith, brush up on your knowledge of what vandalism is and is not, and learn to assume good faith.

I don't believe using the term "impaired" human cognitive ability is entirely accurate, as the drugs are proposed as substances that improve this regardless. Whether they work or not it in question, although their more legitimate use does seem to be in cass where impairment has occurred (e.g. Alzheimers). Perhaps it would be better to rephrase this to reflect this. Halogenated ( talk) 19:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

02-Feb-2008: I have created a typical "/doc" subpage to describe the parameters and show an example with " Template:Infobox_Brain/doc" as standard documentation. The doc is displayed only when the full template page is displayed, not included, by using "{{template doc}}" which boxes a doc subpage in that narrow institutional-green documentation box. The example text had to be narrowed by 2 characters to fit within the green doc box. The doc is in draft form, and more parameters should be described. You might want to contact a brain-anatomy person to expand that documentation. Thanks. - Wikid77 ( talk) 21:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Freund Publishing House, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Freund Publishing House seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Freund Publishing House, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the

hi,
1. though i enjoy the site traffic, maybe www.progenetix.net is not the first place for coding information 2. but if you use it without noticing me, deep-linking may produce problems:
http://www.progenetix.de/~pgscripts/progenetix/
is now
http://www.progenetix.de/progenetix/
and directory links should be used instead of "casetable.html" (deprecated); e.g.
http://www.progenetix.net/progenetix/I95103/
links to ICD-O 3 9510/3.
I would try to fix the Wiki entries, but have no clue about the nested links.

A tag has been placed on Template:MedlinePlusEncylopedia2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

It is nice to make your acquaintance. I had wanted to mention to you that there had been an extensive deletion to the above noted article.
I don't know if you've had your Psych classes and upper classman rotation, but would hope that, if so, you might drop by to take a look at the article and strike out anything that you know to be false and add in, under references, the relevant texts you have been assigned or books or articles you have sought out yourself.
I know you have limited hours (and limited sleep if you are in your 3rd or 4th year), but if you could browse over the article and, even if you don't have the time to add in any citations, any contribution you might add to the talk page would be appreciated.
I was tickled to see that you are not only quite interested in the Neurosciences (as am I), but that molecular and cellular microbiology is too (in college, as I was? It was my major).
I rather hope you specialize in Neuropsychiatry (or Psychoneurology). My niece has wanted to be a psychiatrist since she was in 6th grade and is now nearly in her senior year and still just as anxious. I keep sending her articles in psych-related neurology (and primatology), wanting her to keep her enthusiasm up by recognizing what an exciting growing field she is entering. She will have tools and knowledge that my psychiatrist husband never had. Back then, they were taught that children could not be depressed - that only older adolescents and adults were capable of depression.

Dysphagia is a symptom, not the same as "difficulty in swallowing". I know the online references and the print references say "difficulty in swallowing", but that should be understood in the context that it is used generally as a symptom. Schlesinger. & Fordtran’s Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease explains this well. That source is more authoritative regarding GI disease than the dictionaries, or from examples where the term is misused in the medical literature. Please see the discussion regarding dysphagia as a symptom in the talk page. Stephen Holland, M.D. Kd4ttc ( talk) 21:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

30-March-2008: Hi, Wikid77 here. I have shifted Nerve coloring to more yellow. Thanks for taking time to contact me: I feared distracting you from the impressive med articles. My focus has been to polish typesetting with 50% wider text, more space for images, and smoother colors, plus documentation for the templates: Infobox_Brain, Infobox_Bone, Infobox_Muscle, Infobox_Nerve.
The dreaded yellow is culturally marked in the USA for yellow-marker pens used to "hilite" textbooks, so I was seeking a dimmer yellow to also avoid the USA 1970s fashion of red+yellow clothes, plus the artistic problem of complementary colors causing eyestrain: opposites split from R-G-B cause psycho-afterimages, with wiki-blue links directly opposing yellow (Red+Green) as a mental glare to many. The dimmer yellow adds blue as RGB=#FFEE77 and also avoids red-green colorblindness or even yellow colorblindness by merging some blue. Again, I did not want to distract you from the awesome med articles which are always timely (until the ice caps melt!), and I just wanted to adjust typesetting & color hues for a wider audience. - Wikid77 ( talk) 00:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian, regarding 'your' article on cladinose, I think the classification as "hexose deoxy sugar" is clearly wrong, it would be rather something like "methyl ether of a branched heptose dideoxy sugar" but I'm not sure how chemists usually refer to such substances.

Hi Arcadia. If you could spare a bit of your time I'd like to request your help for the Hip dysplasia (human) page. I came across the Hip dysplasia page while researching a related topic for a client and decided to "adopt" the topic. So far no one else has contributed. This may be partly due to the fact that the medicine links still go to the canine page. (At least the ones I haven't found or where the editor reverted the correction because I'm not a "properly certified expert".) I'd like to bring the page "into the fold". However I'm encountering some issues there. There seems to be no template "developmental diseases(conditions?) of the musculoskeletal system". If I'd link it to "congenital" I'd feel a bit as if I was linking an aricle about Galileo to "flat planets". As most sources agree that the description of hip dysplasia as "congenital" is outdated. Only "Beukes dysplasia" could possibly be considered congenital. I also checked the box someone put at Hip dysplasia and most of those link to the medicine library numbers for humans. (But again under "congenital"}. What do you think? Should I copy the box from the canine page? Would you have enough clout to request a new template? I'm currently working on getting a "background/development" section going. I had hoped that I could link to existing pages there, but things have not been generated yet. So I'll just put in some stuff that could maybe serve as starters for new stubs later. I know the femur and the pelvis/acetabulum develop from the same group of cells (mesenchyme if I got it right) But I haven't found a source yet that tells me whether the femur and acetabulum develop as one unit that then gets separated by scavenger cells or start of separate. If you know a good wikisafe source I'd be delighted if you could pass it on. Do you think "Concepts in Fetal Movement Research by Joyce W. Sparling" is an adequate source or could you recommend something better. Sorry for bothering you, glad if you could help out. Thanks. -- Lisa4edit ( talk) 03:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)oops-- Lisa4edit ( talk) 06:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours.

I read the article on anaplastic thyroid cancer, and other thyroid cancer articles, too. I was just beginning to wonder that there was very little mention of factors that result in such different manifestations from the (presumably) same cell of origin--papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, and anaplastic carcinoma. But, that's not what made me reach here. I just logged in to the history of that page and realized that almost the entire article was singularly created and expanded by you--I was very impressed. I went on to your contributions' page, I was further impressed by the vastness of your knowledge; then, I went to your user page, I don't know what do we call getting impressed to the degree that I had got. I was just bowled over by its simplicity.
I too am a medical student (legally, already a doctor), but I don't know if I do possess knowledge in the same depth as you do.

I'd created an article, rather a stub-- clone (cell biology), wherein I'd try to convey the definition and implications of "cells derived from the same cell through asexual division"--quite particularly in immunology. But, the article was prematurely redirected to clone (B-cell biology), which is quite different in its treatment of the subject, and may I add, also inadequate.
I undid the redirection once, but beyond that wasn't allowed, as it created some "editing conflict". Can something be done about it?
Basically, I wanted to expand upon the article B cell, which I think, does not convey the ideas of clonality and clonal selection well enough. But, that's not provide the scope to explain the concepts. A separate article for the purpose would have been quite justified, and hence the attempt.
I'd be happy if you could go through an article I completed recently polyclonal response.
I also realized that somehow there isn't any article/section that adequately deals with secondary immune response (i.e., the fact that it is more specific and more intense). The section on affinity maturation deals with it, but not to my satisfaction. I'm bringing all these points to your attention as I believe to resolve all of them, an article on 'clone'/'colony' as it applies to immunology is really required.
Looking forward to your reply.

Would you like to participate in the development of the Wikiversity School of Medicine? Please join our discussion regarding the content of our first curriculum. As a medical student, your input would be very much appreciated.
Hello, I noticed that you are the original creator of the article Robert Half Internation. However, a lot of changed have been made since then, and now the entire article looks like spam. No information for encylopedia purpose has been posted, except that the RHI Highlights sections from their corporate website is copied and pasted. I have added db-spam header to it. Please have a look, and see if you can fix the article or rather have it deleted. Thanks. NocturnalA6 2.7 ( talk) 16:19, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Arcadian,
I see you are one of the authors of a template(?) on several Wikipedia pages, e.g. this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy, where an "infobox" appears on the right side of the entry, containing a number of references to various medical databases and classification systems (e.g. OMIM, ICD9, ICD10, DSM-IV etc.). I see on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Medical_external_link_templates that there are several templates, perhaps authored by many different people, which generate such links from medical Wikipedia pages.
My question is, how is this done, exactly? are you adding these after the page is initially created? Do these 'templates' actually serve as applications, mining the page entry for codes like ICD9 stuff using some articulated syntax?
Thanks in advance for your attention to this. i work at the New England Journal of Medicine and we are very interested to see how this works.

You recently edited Gait abnormality, with summary "split out types". Do you plan to revisit this article soon? Much information and many references in the section "Specific abnormalities and examples of causes" and elsewhere have gone missing, with no way for the reader to know what the abnormal types are, and where their names and descriptions have been split off to. -- CliffC ( talk) 18:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

It is fine to be bold, Arcadian, but I think that you were high-handed to in moving the "Accelerated aging disease" page to DNA repair-deficiency disorder without even inviting discussion. I have made a number of edits intended to reconcile the move and explain the differences, but I think that you really should have started a DNA repair-deficiency disorder page from scratch rather than remove the "accelerated aging disease" entry from Wikipedia. Almost all of those diseases show DNA repair defects, but DNA repair deficiency diseases often show mostly a disposition to cancer (and in a few cases nothing but lethality or disposition to cancer). Although there is overlap, I think these should be independent topics. -- Ben Best ( talk) 23:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.
Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader,
geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at
geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!
The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

I just deleted your edit. Yes, it has been used according to a communication.
Anecdotal communication: N=2;
Erratum missing; Later discussion is controversial;
Later review of this use on more cases comes to conclusion that this is a dangerous practice, lacking scientific study and evidence, is ineffective.
So it is by no means an accepted clinical practice, but more an attempt, which later got rejected. I believe the clinical uses should have a broad and accepted evidence base and be accepted practice. To also include everything which has once been tried, proposed or speculated is dangerously misleading and also lacking notability. 70.137.181.232 ( talk) 08:31, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian. I was wondering if you'd mind my merging Flupenthixol decanoate into Flupentixol, following the Zuclopenthixol example?
I was also hoping we could standardize the drug navboxes to use {{ ·}} instead of hyphens as separators. Several navboxes already use interpuncts, and using hyphens as list separators goes against the Manual of Style. How do you feel about it? Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 21:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian,
I noticed in the history of edits on "Neuroblastoma" there have been a lot of external links added and removed. I understand that a "general" pediatric fundraising organization or support link for pediatric cancer is not appropriate for this page. I also noticed you put "protected external links" in the edit history so thought you would be perfect for my questions.
So I wondered two things. Right now there are two external links just added (Post Pals and Alex Lemonade Stand) that clearly do not meet the requirements for an appropriate link and they have been added and removed before repeatedly. Can you prevent that?
The other question is I do not know if the link I added to the neuroblastoma conference videos is appropriate. The organization sponsoring the NB Conference is a non-profit also raising money for NB research. They have a unique focus on "parent education" and the video presentations by neuroblastoma experts are excellent. Video presentations from the 2007 conference are also forthcoming.
What do you think? Thanks so much! DMLudwinski ( talk) 15:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe using the term "impaired" human cognitive ability is entirely accurate, as the drugs are proposed as substances that improve this regardless. Whether they work or not it in question, although their more legitimate use does seem to be in cass where impairment has occurred (e.g. Alzheimers). Perhaps it would be better to rephrase this to reflect this. Halogenated ( talk) 19:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

02-Feb-2008: I have created a typical "/doc" subpage to describe the parameters and show an example with " Template:Infobox_Brain/doc" as standard documentation. The doc is displayed only when the full template page is displayed, not included, by using "{{template doc}}" which boxes a doc subpage in that narrow institutional-green documentation box. The example text had to be narrowed by 2 characters to fit within the green doc box. The doc is in draft form, and more parameters should be described.

It is nice to make your acquaintance. I had wanted to mention to you that there had been an extensive deletion to the above noted article.
I don't know if you've had your Psych classes and upper classman rotation, but would hope that, if so, you might drop by to take a look at the article and strike out anything that you know to be false and add in, under references, the relevant texts you have been assigned or books or articles you have sought out yourself.
I know you have limited hours (and limited sleep if you are in your 3rd or 4th year), but if you could browse over the article and, even if you don't have the time to add in any citations, any contribution you might add to the talk page would be appreciated.
I was tickled to see that you are not only quite interested in the Neurosciences (as am I), but that molecular and cellular microbiology is too (in college, as I was? It was my major).
I rather hope you specialize in Neuropsychiatry (or Psychoneurology). My niece has wanted to be a psychiatrist since she was in 6th grade and is now nearly in her senior year and still just as anxious. I keep sending her articles in psych-related neurology (and primatology), wanting her to keep her enthusiasm up by recognizing what an exciting growing field she is entering. She will have tools and knowledge that my psychiatrist husband never had. Back then, they were taught that children could not be depressed - that only older adolescents and adults were capable of depression.

30-March-2008: Hi, Wikid77 here. I have shifted Nerve coloring to more yellow. Thanks for taking time to contact me: I feared distracting you from the impressive med articles. My focus has been to polish typesetting with 50% wider text, more space for images, and smoother colors, plus documentation for the templates: Infobox_Brain, Infobox_Bone, Infobox_Muscle, Infobox_Nerve.
The dreaded yellow is culturally marked in the USA for yellow-marker pens used to "hilite" textbooks, so I was seeking a dimmer yellow to also avoid the USA 1970s fashion of red+yellow clothes, plus the artistic problem of complementary colors causing eyestrain: opposites split from R-G-B cause psycho-afterimages, with wiki-blue links directly opposing yellow (Red+Green) as a mental glare to many. The dimmer yellow adds blue as RGB=#FFEE77 and also avoids red-green colorblindness or even yellow colorblindness by merging some blue. Again, I did not want to distract you from the awesome med articles which are always timely (until the ice caps melt!), and I just wanted to adjust typesetting & color hues for a wider audience. - Wikid77 ( talk) 00:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Arcadia. If you could spare a bit of your time I'd like to request your help for the Hip dysplasia (human) page. I came across the Hip dysplasia page while researching a related topic for a client and decided to "adopt" the topic. So far no one else has contributed. This may be partly due to the fact that the medicine links still go to the canine page. (At least the ones I haven't found or where the editor reverted the correction because I'm not a "properly certified expert".) I'd like to bring the page "into the fold". However I'm encountering some issues there. There seems to be no template "developmental diseases(conditions?) of the musculoskeletal system". If I'd link it to "congenital" I'd feel a bit as if I was linking an aricle about Galileo to "flat planets". As most sources agree that the description of hip dysplasia as "congenital" is outdated. Only "Beukes dysplasia" could possibly be considered congenital. I also checked the box someone put at Hip dysplasia and most of those link to the medicine library numbers for humans. (But again under "congenital"}. What do you think? Should I copy the box from the canine page? Would you have enough clout to request a new template? I'm currently working on getting a "background/development" section going. I had hoped that I could link to existing pages there, but things have not been generated yet. So I'll just put in some stuff that could maybe serve as starters for new stubs later. I know the femur and the pelvis/acetabulum develop from the same group of cells (mesenchyme if I got it right) But I haven't found a source yet that tells me whether the femur and acetabulum develop as one unit that then gets separated by scavenger cells or start of separate. If you know a good wikisafe source I'd be delighted if you could pass it on. Do you think "Concepts in Fetal Movement Research by Joyce W. Sparling" is an adequate source or could you recommend something better. Sorry for bothering you, glad if you could help out.

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry.

I read the article on anaplastic thyroid cancer, and other thyroid cancer articles, too. I was just beginning to wonder that there was very little mention of factors that result in such different manifestations from the (presumably) same cell of origin--papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, and anaplastic carcinoma. But, that's not what made me reach here. I just logged in to the history of that page and realized that almost the entire article was singularly created and expanded by you--I was very impressed. I went on to your contributions' page, I was further impressed by the vastness of your knowledge; then, I went to your user page, I don't know what do we call getting impressed to the degree that I had got. I was just bowled over by its simplicity.
I too am a medical student (legally, already a doctor), but I don't know if I do possess knowledge in the same depth as you do.
Your work is really amazing, and the link you provided to your encounter with Wales was interesting as well as inspirational.
Congratulations, again. Bye. Take care. (Hope you get to read my message in the vast swarm of messages that you get.)

I'd created an article, rather a stub-- clone (cell biology), wherein I'd try to convey the definition and implications of "cells derived from the same cell through asexual division"--quite particularly in immunology. But, the article was prematurely redirected to clone (B-cell biology), which is quite different in its treatment of the subject, and may I add, also inadequate.
I undid the redirection once, but beyond that wasn't allowed, as it created some "editing conflict". Can something be done about it?
Basically, I wanted to expand upon the article B cell, which I think, does not convey the ideas of clonality and clonal selection well enough. But, that's not provide the scope to explain the concepts. A separate article for the purpose would have been quite justified, and hence the attempt.
I'd be happy if you could go through an article I completed recently polyclonal response.
I also realized that somehow there isn't any article/section that adequately deals with secondary immune response (i.e., the fact that it is more specific and more intense). The section on affinity maturation deals with it, but not to my satisfaction. I'm bringing all these points to your attention as I believe to resolve all of them, an article on 'clone'/'colony' as it applies to immunology is really required.
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards (and you deserve the credit I gave you).

Hey, thank you for referencing and otherwise improving Infantile neuronal ceroid lipfuscinosis. I knew about enough from looking over doctors' shoulders to start an article, but not to shore it up all proper.

Hi there!
Me and another user have recently made some big chances to an article called zygomycosis (previously mucormycosis) and I noticed from the history that you had some prior input on the article. I was wondering if you could take a look at the changes and see what you think?
Thanks. Regards, CycloneNimrod Talk? 22:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. When you create new drug articles, you should also take note of the IUPAC name, chemical formula, and molecular weight. If not in your browser favorites, please add this Lists of Recommended and Proposed INNs.
By the way, the IUPAC name and chemical formula for boceprevir is on List 59 [1] of the RECOMMENDED International Nonproprietary Names List. :-) Carlo Banez ( talk) 16:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I noticed the move of oral pathology to Stomatognathic disease. Why the move? There are 9 recognized specialties, as the infoxbox at the bottom of the article shows, and the names of the specialties recognized by the ada defines this specialty as "oral and maxillofacial pathology." It would seem inconsistent to me to list the specialties, but change the name of one of them. I did not want to support a move of the article without hearing your thoughts. Thanks. - Dozenist talk 16:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I was going to add acute aortic syndrome to {{ Circulatory system pathology}}, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. Is it a symptom or a condition (or, duh, a syndrome?) Anyway, I'll have a go at expanding AAS a bit more but as usual any comment, suggestions, advice, correction or direct editing are welcome. WLU ( talk) 22:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that your a pretty active editor of the ICD pages so I thought you would have an idea about this, the UN and WHO use Oxford spelling as standard on their publications (I think) but I'm having trouble finding anything concrete written about this. Do you know what spelling the ICD document follows? British English/Oxford English/American English etc... I'm creating a spell checker and looking to incorporate sections of this document as a source. Thanks. Andrew.Ainsworth ( talk) 20:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Can you explain to me please how what i added is advertisment?! Can you show me 1 advertisment in the pdf i posted? Please... find just one... I can't wait to see you pull this off! PLEASE RE-POST MY COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE ARTICLE!!! AND IF YOU BEG TO DIFFER LETS LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE!!!!!!!!-- unsigned, User:Number631
I did, everything seems perfectly on par, my material was completely relevant, scientific data, and no hyperlinks or links at all to any other website! No ads or anything related to ads, just scientific data! you got problems with anything specific or are you just mad with power? Can you get one of your fellow colleagues to check out what i posted, because no offense but you seem to be a plain jerk! OR tell me exactly what your problem is because i'll be honest EVERYTHING seems perfecty legitimate, its just you!
Why do you keep changing the title to "fuc*@n kidding me"? Are you that bitter? I really don't care if you wanna act like a baby... grow up kid!
what about what i wrote after that? I'm still waiting for the answer to that... since you seem to be in the mood for answering! Thats your job as a moderator isn't it... to answer? Or do you only answer when you feel like it? Maybe you have a boss i should talk to...
Thanks for the title-change you did to "{{ Lymphatic flow}}"—that was most appropriate. Of course, if you do get the time, kindly make as many improvements in lymphatic system and the related articles; they all are in a need for serious overhaul. Sorry to see that a sincere contributor like you is being blamed so mercilessly (in reference to the thread immediately above).
Have a nice day. Take care. Regards.

Hi! I was very impressed with this template. I believe you'd started it. I'm writing in to you to point out that the article Pancreas, and the articles related to Childbirth also need serious changes. So, you're invited to contribute if and when you find time.

Hello, I noticed that you are the original creator of the article Robert Half Internation. However, a lot of changed have been made since then, and now the entire article looks like spam. No information for encylopedia purpose has been posted, except that the RHI Highlights sections from their corporate website is copied and pasted. I have added db-spam header to it. Please have a look, and see if you can fix the article or rather have it deleted. Thanks. NocturnalA6 2.7 ( talk) 16:19, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Arcadian,
I see you are one of the authors of a template(?) on several Wikipedia pages, e.g. this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy, where an "infobox" appears on the right side of the entry, containing a number of references to various medical databases and classification systems (e.g. OMIM, ICD9, ICD10, DSM-IV etc.). I see on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Medical_external_link_templates that there are several templates, perhaps authored by many different people, which generate such links from medical Wikipedia pages.
My question is, how is this done, exactly? are you adding these after the page is initially created? Do these 'templates' actually serve as applications, mining the page entry for codes like ICD9 stuff using some articulated syntax?
Thanks in advance for your attention to this. i work at the New England Journal of Medicine and we are very interested to see how this works.

You recently edited Gait abnormality, with summary "split out types". Do you plan to revisit this article soon? Much information and many references in the section "Specific abnormalities and examples of causes" and elsewhere have gone missing, with no way for the reader to know what the abnormal types are, and where their names and descriptions have been split off to. -- CliffC ( talk) 18:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

It is fine to be bold, Arcadian, but I think that you were high-handed to in moving the "Accelerated aging disease" page to DNA repair-deficiency disorder without even inviting discussion. I have made a number of edits intended to reconcile the move and explain the differences, but I think that you really should have started a DNA repair-deficiency disorder page from scratch rather than remove the "accelerated aging disease" entry from Wikipedia. Almost all of those diseases show DNA repair defects, but DNA repair deficiency diseases often show mostly a disposition to cancer (and in a few cases nothing but lethality or disposition to cancer). Although there is overlap, I think these should be independent topics. -- Ben Best ( talk) 23:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.
Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader,
geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at
geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!
The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Well done for uploading those Orphanet journal images. I have, however, temporarily removed some galleries from articles like thymoma and rheumatoid arthritis. In my mind, these galleries are unhelpful unless every image has a caption describing the image. Let me know what you think. JFW | T@lk 10:25, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I just deleted your edit. Yes, it has been used according to a communication.
Anecdotal communication: N=2;
Erratum missing; Later discussion is controversial;
Later review of this use on more cases comes to conclusion that this is a dangerous practice, lacking scientific study and evidence, is ineffective.
So it is by no means an accepted clinical practice, but more an attempt, which later got rejected. I believe the clinical uses should have a broad and accepted evidence base and be accepted practice. To also include everything which has once been tried, proposed or speculated is dangerously misleading and also lacking notability. 70.137.181.232 ( talk) 08:31, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Arcadian. I was wondering if you'd mind my merging Flupenthixol decanoate into Flupentixol, following the Zuclopenthixol example?
I was also hoping we could standardize the drug navboxes to use {{ ·}} instead of hyphens as separators. Several navboxes already use interpuncts, and using hyphens as list separators goes against the Manual of Style. How do you feel about it? Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 21:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm completely confused about what happened with this edit [2].

Hey, you recently uploaded some great images from a Creative Commons-licensed journal (was it Orphanet J Rare Dis?)
