Italic textHi everyone, I am new which I assume you can tell! I really need a mentor as I am disabled and have serious trouble absorbing information I read which is long. I thought that maybe this site can help me stimulate my brain and teach me how to use this kind of site.
I have been lurking ever since Wiki made it to the newsgroups which I am sorry to say hasn't had very nice things at time about this site. I am not looking for trouble, which is usually not in my personality. I have looked at the the help stuff but I am having trouble retaining the information or understanding. I think I would be good with help with someone with patience.
I do have an idea of what I would like to put on my page. IBD (Iritable bowel disease is a monster in my opinon and there is no cure for it but unfortunately I have other medical problems that there is no cure for either so I have to take a lot of medication to keep things controled. If there is a mentor with a lot of patience I would really appreciate anyone help.
Thank you for listening to my babble, I hope to hear from someone soon. But I would love to give this all a try. I hope I am welcomed to do this. If there isn't a mentor who can help a disabled person learn, I really do understand, so be honest and tell me so.
Thanks again, 03:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Crohnie 03:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Hi, sorry for this mess. I am trying to understand but this is all new to me. If someone could delete my errors I really would apreciate it. I thought having an account kept personal info private but it is my faulty because I forgot to sign in. I really do want a mentor though that has patience with me, sorry don't know how to request one but I think it's on the main page but it's late now for me so I need to get to bed. Would deleting all of this make it easier or not? Anyways, I look forward to hearing from someone (s). Thanks again.

Hello. I'm sorry, but my plate is too full right now for me to be really useful to you as a mentor. You might want to look at WP:ADOPT, which is a more formal way to match new users up with more experienced ones who can help them out. Take a look, and if you're interested, go to your user page, edit it, and type {{Adoptme}} (in double-curly braces) at the top, then save it. That should bring a mentor your direction. Best of luck. MastCell 04:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I noticed your addition to the Crohn's disease talk page and see that you are looking for someone to adopt you. I'd be glad to help out, though my schedule for the last few months has meant I'm not around as much. Feel free to ask me questions on my talk page or through e-mail if you prefer. It might take a day or two (at the most), but I'll try to point you in the right direction! InvictaHOG 18:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
A quick welcome again to the wiki! Hope you enjoy being here. I'm a gastroenterologist who treats Crohn's disease, and it's a pleasure to have you aboard. Feel free to pop around WP:GI if you are looking for ways to help out! -- Samir धर्म 02:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I think I need to first learn how to respond. I don't think I am doing this right. Any help by anyone is always welcomed. Please be patient with me as I don't remember things well. Thanks again.-- Crohnie 11:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I saw your note on Talk:Pyoderma gangrenosum and left you a response there. Thanks for the offer! Peace, delldot | talk 08:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I am willing to take help anyway I can. I do have someone who has adopted me though and would like to give it a try with him/her. But if I make a mistake please don't hesitate to jump in to help. I have pictures on my computer but have no idea how to send them (I am allowed to share them) to you (they are very graffic and I still haven't learned how to put any kind of links in. I am not real technical and science is not in me but I would like to edit a few minor things on the crohn's page that I know is incorrect. Thank you for your time, -- Crohnie 11:48, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but how do I post without having blockquote? When I don't use it I end up with a pink box with a long string comment. Thanks,-- Crohnie 11:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
If you haven't read some of the information on how to contribute, this link is a great place to start as far as the mechanics. As far as the block quote - you do not need to put that tag with each post. You simply need to start your comments at the far left side without any spaces. When you put a space in front of your post, it puts it in the little box. If you'd like to indent, use a colon like this : InvictaHOG 15:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, Ilena's editing behavior in areas where she has an obvious conflict of interest has confused many people. It may be settled in Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Barrett_v._Rosenthal, where the only remedy discussed so far is banning Ilena for six months. Just try not to let her get on your nerves and don't assume her behavior is appropriate. -- Ronz 00:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, it just gets confusing with the editing, put it in, take it out, you know. I thought the talk pages were for disagreements. -- Crohnie 13:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, it just gets confusing when the feuding and stuff starts. I am a calm person and really don't want to get involved in that kind of stuff so I think it makes me hesitant. -- Crohnie 14:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I hear Ya! That is funny, it doesn't bother me as much because I have an Italian mother who ranted and raved most of my childhood:) I eventually learned that she was yelling because nobody was listening to her;) I also figured out that just because my mom and dad never agreed on anything, didn't mean either one was right. Remember, all we are here to do is report from verifiable and reliable sources and let the reader decide. You seem to have a good sense of fairness. Hold on to it. -- Dēmatt (chat) 16:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks I'll give it a try. I only use outlook for newsgroups so I don't know if it will work with office. To be honest, I wasn't worried about being deleted by anyone, and if I am oh well. I am new so mistakes happen. I would never delete someone elses edits at this point unless it was clearly vandelism. The only deletion I have done so far is when I first started, I deleted my name on an article. :)-- Crohnie 14:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
My page is getting long, and the links to help me I have saved in my favorites so I would like to make this page a little smaller. Is it too soon to do this? Archiving is the way to do this right? Thanks for any information. -- Crohnie 14:09, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Can you tell me exactly how to do this? I tried move and it sends me to a page I don't understand and it doesn't look like the right location for me. I read the archive stuff, but it is way over my head right now. Is there a way to automatically get old threads archived so I don't have to deal with it though it's probabably better that I learn how to do it. -- Crohnie 18:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Just a friendly Hiya from another Newbie. Hope you are enjoying your Wiki experience. It's kind of fun, Yes? I haven't made many edits because my learning curve is more on the down rather than up. Catch you later. Emilydcksn 08:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Here is what people have learned: as long as you don't say what you mean, you can later deny what you meant. I think that you are a very perceptive person; when you read what people write, you get what they mean and not just what they say. This is why you are picking up on the cruel undertones of the bitter storm churning right now on the edges of science. If I knew how to bring about a compromise that would satisfy people on both sides of these issues, I would. I'm sad about the way things are, too. But for right now, I'm not sure how to satisfy both sides. I think it will take some time before it becomes clear how this will be resolved. In the meantime, keep doing the good work that you do. This encyclopedia exists for and because of people like you, who are willing to put in the hard work to improve important articles like Crohn's disease. Very soon I'd like to be able to return to focusing on the content instead of bitter talk-page disputes, as well. Talk to you soon. Ante lan talk 02:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I left a note on my talk page for you. I have no idea what is upseting you? Please clarify on my talk page. To simplify, can we keep this discussion on either my page or yours? Please let me know. Anthon01 ( talk) 17:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I've seen a lot of editors make bad faith assumptions of others, mostly as a method of baiting and gaming the system. I recommend you get a third party involved when this happens, or at least make a mental note that they're acting from the perspective of assuming bad faith on your part. They're just trying to escalate conflicts, making the conflicts personal, to create an excuse for their own incivility. Best to keep cool and calm. -- Ronz ( talk) 18:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I took a quick first pass over the lead and made some edits for readability. One thing I don't think I did a good job on was "skip lesions" which probably should have its own article. I know next-to-nothing about this particular condition, so if any of the edits I made introduce misconceptions or incorrect wording, please feel free to edit them mercilessly. ScienceApologist ( talk) 00:10, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I wish I could see it from your POV, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with this section. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthon01 ( talk • contribs) 20:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Orangemarlin, I know complaints against you are plenty because some don't feel you are civil. I am curious though, how do you feel about what is going on in many location about Scienceapologist. I don't know you very well, other than our brief comments a while back and I didn't know anything about SA until recently. If you prefer to take this to email, please don't hesitate. I find that there is a lot of drama over the way editors state things. I am not the sensitive type that gets angry and runs to boards. If I have a probem or a question I go to the editor. Lately I've been spending my time reading the ANI board, ARB. amd other boards like this which seems to me to be totally out of control on some of the complaints and problems. Remember, just curious, you do not have to answer if you don't want to! :) -- CrohnieGal Talk 00:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I put in the template. I have it so that it archives anything over 7 days old, and puts it into a new archive once an old one reaches more than 60 KB. Let me know if you'd like anything changed about that. I may have done it wrong, since I've never done it before. Hopefully it will start working soon, let me know if it doesn't. I assume it will work on the stuff that was already here, but I'm not actually sure. Anyway, let me know how it turned out either way! Peace, delldot on a public computer talk 02:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, it's not doing anything and on my talk page it doesn't have this [4] which I think it should be on the top of my talk page. Boy, they could make it much easier to use these things couldn't they? Anyways, I know you are watching my page so I am letting you. Please give me your thoughts. -- CrohnieGal Talk 14:49, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey Crohnie, great work. Some suggestions:
I was very nitpicky in order to provide the most info. Basically your edits look good, I can tell you worked hard on them! The article is lucky to have you working on it :) delldot on a public computer talk 02:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for stopping by WLU, I responded to you on your talk page because I don't know if you are set up to see my page. Delldot, I deleted what you stated and since the title Pregnancy and Crohn's disease got deleted I put in a paragraph that I think reads better and falls in with policy. [6] I am ready for anyone thoughts as I am really trying hard to do this right. -- CrohnieGal Talk 00:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Delldot, I am not getting frustrated at all and I really appreciate advice from others. I am learning things I did not know like the post above from WLU. I am working an article that I know I have strong POV about and not a lot of science or medical knowledge except personal experiences. So having others eyes on me is all 'good' to keep it honest and it also helps me learn and try to think things through a little better. So I do like all help and if I feel stressed about anything I will take a time out first before allowing this to make me ill. I'm having fun so far. Thanks, -- CrohnieGal Talk 12:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Crohnie, what EBDCM is saying there is that anything that treats pain is affecting the nervous system, which is part of the brain. Since we know that the brain affects health, it should follow that treating pain affects health because it affects the nervous system which affects the brain. You pretty much already know this, as when you are feeling pain you have a difficult time concentrating and everything in life is less enjoyable, this is what we mean when we say health and well-being. IF we can find a way to decrease pain, we can improve health and well-being. The controversy, of course, is whether chiropractic really does this. That is why the effects of spinal manipulation is such a controversial issue, first we have to prove it affects the nervous system, then we can make claims as to its affects. The problem is that spinal manipulation has been around since before scientific thinking. The last 30 years have been spent proving its value in decreasing pain. The question that has to be proven now is that, even if there is no pain, does spinal manipulation improve health through some other mechanism besides pain relief. There is some primary research that says there might be some affects, but the jury is still out. But overall, the least that chiropractors are doing is decreasing pain, which I am sure everyone agrees has some value. I'll email you about your son. -- Dēmatt (chat) 17:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Regards this edit, since this is a page about a medical condition, 'Joe random website' is not a suitable source for anything (it's why we have WP:MEDRS). Also, if you would have preferred the text removed, you are within your rights per WP:PROVEIT. Fact tagging is OK if you wish to assume good faith, but if you think it's bunk (and I do), then it can be flatly removed. On the other hand if you think there's merit, then the page would be improved by replacing the information sourced to a reliable document. WLU ( talk) 19:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey but I wikstalk nicely and politely! :) I don't have Firefox on my computer. My hubby keeps track of my computer and programs and so forth and I don't think he would allow me to put it on my computer to be honest. I have a way of getting myself in trouble when I put things on my computer!:) My computer is mostly Microsoft stuff. Using Microsoft outlook works ok for the types of things I do for spell checking anyways. You are still an enjoyment to me when I hear from you. You are a lot different in style then anyone else I have met here. So please don't disappear on me completely! -- CrohnieGal Talk 15:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to see it is a very "personal" issue then. Looked at User page too. It is funny, I actually know someone who was on the original drug-discovery team for Adalimumab, before they were bought by giant Abbott, but I met him while looking to buy a Used Car (his license plate read "HUMIRA", which I found astonishing).

I hope people are watching my page anyways! :) My computer will be shut down tomorrow as it is moving day. I thought I would be shut down already but as you can see, here I am. It should take a couple of days to get everything set up with our computers and setting up new accounts with a new server. I hope I am missed a little! ;) (grinning) I maybe able to come check on things with hubby's lap or mom's computer. But anyways, play nice (joking sorta ;)) and I'll miss you. Please, if anything is going on that I should be aware of or that you think would be of interest to me, please post it on my page so I am aware. I am kind of a junkie here I guess, who isn't! I hope those of you I know haven't being feeling well are now feeling great. Those of you who I email with or anyone who wants to email me still can with the e-mail this user. I will be able to access this account for a little while. Well I am babbling, sorry. I've been in hyper drive now for a few days trying to get this and that done. So my final comment until I return is this, I wish all of you happiness, good health and no edit problems. Please take care, -- CrohnieGal Talk 21:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey Crohnie, I'm taking a month-long wikibreak, I'll be back April 18 (It's gonna suck! I have to see how addicted I really am to Wikipedia. More details about that on my user page). I can ask someone to take over as your mentor for the month if you want, just email me. If that doesn't work out, you can post questions to the help desk or ask any admin. You can also email me, but I won't be editing at all for the month :-( I'll miss you, but see you in a month! Peace, delldot talk 11:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC) By the way, I loved your note the other day! I smile every time I think of it!

I made it through another year still being vertical! It's been a long hard year for me but I have to say that I am very pleased and have lots of love in my heart for everyone who has help and supported me here and with my family!
Again I would like to thank everyone for helping me when I needed it (and even when I didn't know I needed help.). Thank you everyone and good health and happiness to all of you. -- CrohnieGal Talk 19:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC) PS: I figured I would practice using the images.
Hi Crohnie,
Regards this diff, check WP:ENGVAR - authorisation is a valid spelling, but in the UK and former colonies. Engvar is pretty vague, but basically if it's an article that's mostly about a US subject, it gets the 'z'; if it's mostly british, 's'. This is only a bit of interesting info - I think your change to natalizumab was suitable as it's mostly a drug developed and approved in the states. WLU ( talk) 14:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Crohnie,
I read your post on talk:natalizumab, which dealt with side effects. My vague recollection was that you had a citation and write-up for the non-PML and liver side effects of natalizumab that is more specific than the current 'fatigue and allergic reactions' (i.e. rash, etc). I have a part request, part suggestion - I think it would be very good for you as an editor to be bold! and add both the expanded list of specific side effects and the citation to the page. The best way to learn on wikipedia is to do, that is, to edit. The page has active oversight from several experienced editors, so if you do make an error, it will be noticed in short order and corrected (myself, being an admitted wikiholic, will probably notice it within a couple hours).
You don't have to, you've said before that you don't want to add stress because of wikipedia. Though engaging on talk pages is a big part of wikipedia, it just isn't as fun as editing a main page. Errors can be reverted, and I've no doubts of your good intentions. I also have no doubt that your careful analysis and excellent writing skills would be an asset to mainspace as well as talk pages. I could probably add the info myself fairly easily, but as I said, practice is instructive and invaluable. If you'd prefer, you could draft a section based on what you already have on your sandbox, and I could gander at it to let you know if there's any adjustments I think would be beneficial, then you could paste it yourself into the page.
My efforts in this are not solely for your benefit - wikipedia needs knowledgeable editors who can interpret and apply sources and policy, as well as being able to work with other editors calmly and civily. Wikipedia's not that scary, and there's always an undo button, please be our Obi-Wan and help us! WLU ( talk) 17:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
<undent>Locked out of editing and an angry spouse. Sounds like my Tuesday night :) I frequently fight over the computer and feel your pain. Sometimes they just don't realize how important wikipedia is :P A friend of mine sent me this a while ago. I think it captures my hobby perfectly.

Nope, looks like I'm going ahead. Will RFC/U instead, possibly tomorrow or Monday. In the meantime, I'll be building a case here. Feel free to add if you'd like, please separate into your own section though. WLU ( talk) 17:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
This is in response to your note at Natalizumab: Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a new set of paperwork for the US FDA. You basically explain why your drug, even though it's not perfectly safe, is worth keeping on the market. An approvable REMS is expected to say something like "Hardly anybody uses this drug anyway, they're all going to die if they don't get our drug, the nastiest side effects are rare anyway, and besides all that, if the doc runs this test every month, then the problem will be caught early, while it's still reversible" -- or something like that, except that you say it at much, much, much greater length, and with the details depending on the actual problems with the specific drug in question.

Hi Crohnie, I was going to post a long explanation of what a diff is, but then I reviewed your carefully thought-out prose and relized I was reading too quickly again and had missed the point. So the only thing I'll say here is the easiest way I've found to check through diffs is to load up the contribution history of the individual in question and use WP:POPUPS preview feature. Popups are great and very useful in general, though not as good as Hodgepodge (which unfortunately doesn't work very well with internet explorer). WLU ( talk) 14:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Crohnie,
I've never used twinkle, sorry! No real advice. You said 'OE', I assume you mean 'IE', internet explorer? That's the terrible abortion of a program I am forced to use as well. I have installed Popups, from what I've seen it's less useful than Twinkle but I still find it very handy.
If you install popups (as easy as going to preferences > gadgets > click the Popups box, in my day it was harder, and you really appreciated it when it worked! Damn kids with their cellphones and their easy gadgets clickboxes...) then it allows one-click reverting. When you hover the cursor over the 'diff' in watchlist, or over a specific edit in the history or mainpage during a diff, it'll give you an option 'rv' (it's pretty cramped in my version - it shows up as
Play around with popups on your talk page or a sandbox for a bit until you get used to it - it's not hard to figure out at all, but a bit of practice will save you reverting to the wrong version. I'm still figuring things out with it, and it's pretty handy. I'm not sure how it works, but there's also an option to rollback which is one-touch and quicker than a revert. See WP:ROLL.
Really, to fully take advantage of the tools you pretty much have to switch to Firefox. If you have the option, I heartily recommend it, I've always found firefox much better than the Windows equivalent. WLU ( talk) 14:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
(undent) Sorry, I don't know. You could bring it up at image use policy. I really kinda doubt it though, but when it comes to images I'm very reluctant to say anything concrete just because I HATE IMAGE USE and find it very confusing. I don't think I'm a stupid guy, but I start reading copyright information and the left hemisphere of my brain starts to beat up my right hemisphere in a desperate attempt not to die of boredom. How d'you feel about doing this yourself as a learning exercise? Because (and I don't know if I've mentioned it) I HATE IMAGE USE. WLU ( talk) 17:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
<Outdent> No, I got a picture sent to me from a website to my email. I have the picture on an attachment to an email from a friend who took it from the N website. Now what do I do? -- CrohnieGal Talk 10:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
WLU I think I figured out how to put a picture in. I did it with the PG here [8] (Warning graphic picture) (now to get it into the article, hmmm!) What do you think? If I were to put the N picture in, what category would I use? I think it would be worth a try to see if it will stay in or not. Thoughts? -- CrohnieGal Talk 12:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
<outdent>Please keep me informed. It figures they would say no, you saved me time putting together an email to request the use! -- CrohnieGal Talk 19:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi sweetie, pleasure to hear from you again. Hmm, I'm not sure we'll be able to use the photo. Who took it? The copyright belongs to the person who took it, so they would have to release it under a free license, which I can help with. Even if the person who took it is willing to release it, if it's been published on the web, we'll have to get permission from the site (or from an email address associated with it). I'm glad to help with this. I may not be able to be around much today, but I'll be able to help some time this weekend for sure. delldot talk 13:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
<outdent> No problem, I will when I get a chance to email them about the other. Still empting boxes and such from the move. Thanks as always, -- CrohnieGal Talk 18:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I had started making some changes, but stopped in case I missed something. The guidelines at Wikipedia:Layout#Standard appendices and descriptions and WP:MOS indicate that "External links" belong in their own section, not the "See also" section. But I wanted to ask if there's a medical/disease specific formatting guideline that I may have overlooked. Can you help clarify? To be safe, I won't change any further articles until this is confirmed one way or the other. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 15:00, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello Crohnie. Could you also take a look at the Codex Alimentarius talk page if you get time? DivaNtrainin has removed what I consider to be a perfectly good reference (from the Guardian, a major British newspaper), saying that "this is not a quality reference." The Guardian easily qualifies as a reliable source WP:SOURCES with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy and I would really welcome your opinion on this, if possible.
In addition, on the health freedom movement article, DivaNtrainin has reworded a key sentence in the 'Ideology and objectives' section to read as follows:
"The belief that supplements and vitamins can demonstrably improve health or longevitiy is not backed by evidence-based medicine, nor is it widely accepted in the orthodox medical community or the alternative medical community, because there is felt to be insufficient evidence to support such claims."
Spelling errors aside, and rightly or wrongly, the belief that supplements and vitamins can improve health or longevity is actually widespread in the alternative medical community. More to the point, the reference cited by DivaNtrainin does not even support this rewording. I've already reverted DivaNtrainin's edit once, to correct this clear error, but DivaNtrainin immediately reverted back. I would therefore really welcome your opinion on this too, if you have time. Many thanks! Vitaminman ( talk) 20:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, many thanks Crohnie! I will do as you suggest with the Codex Alimentarius article. (I didn't write it, the fact that it looks like my writing is probably just due to the fact that I have done a fair few bits of rewriting on it here and there. Glad you think that the Health Freedom Movement article is looking a lot better. I agree that more work is needed, any help that you can offer will be great. And yes, you take care too, I'll try to drop in a little more often to say hello! Vitaminman ( talk) 13:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Hiya Crohnie,
Thanks for the vote of confidence; ResearchEditor is very aware of me and my editing habits, we've a long, acrimonious history, and RE has recently been banned from editing SRA and Michelle Remembers (which you've seen on the Admin's noticeboard). The problem isn't that RE and Arthur Rubin are unfamiliar with me, the problem is with another editor (who was banned).
As part of my contribution to your wiki-learning, may I venture the following: though your comment was very kind and I'm flattered, it's only really going to be helpful in situations in which another editor is unfamiliar with me. It would be the ideal comment for a request for adminship or were my actions under review (for instance, were I in RE's position or were people taking his/her comments about my own approach or POV issues seriously). Generally there's no harm to saying what you did, but there can be a danger of getting sucked in to an ongoing dispute or harrassed if the other editor is stupid enough to do so - wikipedia is nothing if not a schoolyard rife with grudges. A third opinion or comment on the sources or links might also have been helpful as it indicates a third party has reviewed them and finds them lacking, or fruitful. Another possible danger is accusations of meat- or sockpuppetry; since you've a long history on wiki and lots of good contributions, I don't think that'd be a concern.
And allow me to venture a "shucks, y'all made me blush" :)
Regards the Wikipedia:Tag team essay you've asked me about before, I'd say it should be policy were it not for the huge problems with interpretation. The key word for me is "disruptive" editing. Cesar Tort and I could be accused of tag-teaming on the satanic ritual abuse page, but for the recent AN and NPOV discussions that thoroughly and heartily dis-endorsed ResearchEditor's approach to editing. However, since we were defending, rather than interfering with, consensus, and since we were opposing a single editor rather than another group, it's not really a concern. That being said, I am quite aware that were CT and I not well supported by multiple very good sources our actions would have been extremely questionable. Even still I'm uncomfortable with it and prefer an exception basis rather than a regular pattern of working with a single other editor to revert pages (plus, Cesar and I didn't plan it, we're just regularly on wikipedia and monitored SRA a lot in the past weeks).
Again, the key is disruptive - if the goal is to push an agenda, if it's organized, if it's against consensus, if it's to make a fringe position appear mainstream, then it's a problem. However it's a fine line and subtle distinction, which often depends on the POV of the person/people doing the reverting. I'm not surprised at all that it's seen as both problematic and a current problem. Civility parole I've not heard of, do you have a link? WLU ( talk) 19:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your note on my talk page; nice to see you (and others e.g. Shot Info) are still active on WP. I'm doing well (relatively speaking) & enjoying the company of good friends, nice weather and the occasional overhead mirage (aircraft). How are you doing these days? Avb
Hello again!!
Would you take a look at the Codex Alimentarius article if you have time? There's an external link in the article that I'm sure doesn't belong there ( Conference of Rima E laibow, 2008) but the editor who added it there has reverted my undo. I'm sure that it fails WP:RS and WP:EL. Very sorry to read that you've been having a hard time with your health. I hope that you're feeling better very soon. Vitaminman ( talk) 19:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Having suffered with IBS for some 18 years a wide spectrum antibiotic treated my illness.
The reseasrch that followed and the suggetions to others suffering from Crohns showed 100% improvment.
Intestinal Problems and Parasites
Once you get over the 'it can't be that simple' and hopefully it works...
It truly beyond belief, but then again look at the Cigarette Industry...

i laugh now, but for some 18 years I was similar to you, your situation is more serious. I thought I was dying, so I spent my time, trying to create....i created a philosophy 'thinking in colors..."
Then i finally sat down and tried to put my attention on my health problem and was shocked to find a cure...by accident.
i still cannot believe how we are being deceived about these 'intestinal problems'...
Good luck...

Hi Caesar, I welcome anyone to comment at my talk pages. I am sorry but I do not agree with you or your website about cures for Crohn's disease or IBS. I have lived with these diseases myself for a very long time. I try alternates too but have not found that eating good bacteria helps me at all. I have not had but an 8 month remission in my CD in the over 8 years that I have CD and still resulted multiple surgeries. If you can find RS that are V then post them at the proper article. Our personal beliefs don't belong here. I ask a trusted editor to help me when I edit in an area that I know I have strong POV. I know you believe what you post but Wikipedia isn't for Truth nor is it for soapboxing your personal ideas. You seem to feel there is a vast Conspiracy theory going on but really there isn't. I hope you understand that your run for truth will not be allowed here, sorry but this is a fact. We all have to follow all the policies when editing here. If you have reliable sources that can be verified with another source then by all means post it to the talk page for discussion but so far I haven't seen any. Sorry, have a good, healthy day. -- CrohnieGal Talk 18:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Probiotics by themselves won't help, you are at advanced stages of infection. People who have tried the three report great improvements. Good luck...
-- Caesar J.B. Squitti: Son of Maryann Rosso and Arthur Natale Squitti (talk) 00:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
When taking fiber, you may have to add Omega 3 or 3/6/9 to help the digestive track.
You are correct, everyone is different, so someone can take 'fresh garlic' some can't.
Again there are many 'faceets' to the problem so you have to address them all at once. The 'parasite' will redevelop and cause further problems.
Good Luck.
-- Caesar J.B. Squitti: Son of Maryann Rosso and Arthur Natale Squitti (talk) 14:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
You don't take antibiotics, well as for antibiotics, they were given to me for a lung infection. since i did not have drug plan, i was given an old wide spectrum drug, (erthomycin) very inexpensive, but still very good. (today the modern anitiobiotics are more specific, which creates a problem when you can't find the specific infection)
So what can i tell, you, 'the system' did not find and treat the infection, it was mere ...i would like to think a grace from god...18 years ?
See what happens when you place your faith in the 'system'...

The way the categories were linked meant that your user page was in the categories, rather than simply linking to them. With a ":" place right after the first brackets, that pulls your page out of the category and creates a normal link of the page. Cheers. -- Izno ( talk) 13:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Crohnie, I undid the revert you made to the Serial killer article. I am not vandalizing the page. I am cleaning it up because it has been selected by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team for inclusion in Wikipedia 0.7, and they asked members of the Serial Killer task force to assist with article cleanup and improvement. Please leave an edit summary in the future when making reverts. Thanks, -- *momoricks* ( talk) 22:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi CrohnieGal,
per your recent edit summary on IBS, I'd like to invite you to comment on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#Value_of_Epocrates_external_links.
Also, I was wondering, since your user page states that you have a combination of medical problems and are presumably taking at least some pills, I was wondering if you could take picture of them (if those pictures don't exist already) and upload them to Commons.
Also, I was wondering if you could provide a description for Image:Crohnie Pyoderma gangrenosum.jpg: is this on a leg, and if so, which side?

In your recent post to Chris Heimerdinger:Talk you argued for the removal of New York Times and Public Library sources as references to support the existence of certain films. Are these not considered Reliable Sources? Or do the listed items simply not require supporting citations. If these are unreliable, could you be so kind as to point me towards a source superior in reliability to the NYT's or a public Librarys card catalog for supporting the existence of a work?

I got bit big time by a bug I got on the administrators board, thus my computer is down and probably will have to be rebuilt. Please hold off on any emails and the such for a little while until I let you know I have access. I am borrowing a laptop at the moment for this message but can not use my own computer. I hope the idiot who thought they were cute enjoyed themselves. Talk to you soon, maybe. -- CrohnieGal Talk 10:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Crohnie, kudos on your cool-headed attempt to gain clarity on GDB's talk page. You may be interested to note the case definition page. Also, regards the ME vs. CFS/IBD vs. IBS, I don't believe this is a comparable circumstance. IBS and IBD are different conditions, with different definitions, symptoms, treatments, scopes, etc; IBS diagnosis requires exclusion of IBD from what I can see. ME and CFS are essentially the same thing (from what I know, I could be wrong and if I am I wish someone had shown me the reference before). From what I've read, ME is used interchangeably, but essentially describes the same condition as CFS. Some describe CFS and ME as lying on a continuum, with ME being the more serious condition (in the "4 out of the following 12 symptoms" versus "10 out of 12") but much of the criteria overlapping. But I could be wrong, from what I've read they are pretty much interchangeable. WLU (t) (c) (rules - simple rules) 17:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
First, thank you for your interest in this article. I also appreciate the work you have done on wikipedia. Concerning pyoderma gangrenosum, I want to place it under "Erythemas" as per the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Dermatology_task_force/Categorization, a categorization scheme that was developed after extended discussion at the main wikiproject medicine page. I believe pyoderma gangrenosum does appropriately fit under erythemas, this based on how it is described and categorized in: James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005). Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology (10th ed.). Saunders. ISBN 0721629210, specifically pages 139 and 147, also being found in the chapter entitled, "Erythma and urticaria." Regardless, ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Skin diseases is now depreciated, with ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Cutaneous conditions being used now. Therefore, would you reconsider allowing the categorization of pyoderma gangrenosum under "Erythemas"? kilbad ( talk) 14:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Hola,
This would be a revert based on WP:ELNO, not WP:ENGVAR - ENGVAR is for people who alternate or 'correct' between British and American spellings. WLU (t) (c) (rules - simple rules) 22:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, appreciate your frustration, but generally IPs anons get the message with a block of a few hours and go away. This one returned same/next day, and in same manner of being disruptive - so I've blocked for over a day hoping they will finally get the message... let me know if they return and I'll ramp up the exclusion for this vandalism-only account :-) David Ruben Talk 14:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a note to say thanks for your efforts to keep some of the articles related to the crime projects from vandalism, additions of trivia and irrelevant content. Keep up the good work! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 00:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Apparently I've rubbed someone the wrong way when I removed a newly started trivia section in this article. Or maybe it was that I was super annoyed that someone started it, and worded my hidden note too strongly. In any event, he's raised the issue on the talk page, and I've responded. Would you please look at the discussion at Talk:Susan Atkins#Pop culture reference and (hopefully) support my opinion? Thanks! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 22:20, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Italic textHi everyone, I am new which I assume you can tell! I really need a mentor as I am disabled and have serious trouble absorbing information I read which is long. I thought that maybe this site can help me stimulate my brain and teach me how to use this kind of site.
I have been lurking ever since Wiki made it to the newsgroups which I am sorry to say hasn't had very nice things at time about this site. I am not looking for trouble, which is usually not in my personality. I have looked at the the help stuff but I am having trouble retaining the information or understanding. I think I would be good with help with someone with patience.
I do have an idea of what I would like to put on my page. IBD (Iritable bowel disease is a monster in my opinon and there is no cure for it but unfortunately I have other medical problems that there is no cure for either so I have to take a lot of medication to keep things controled. If there is a mentor with a lot of patience I would really appreciate anyone help.
Thank you for listening to my babble, I hope to hear from someone soon. But I would love to give this all a try. I hope I am welcomed to do this. If there isn't a mentor who can help a disabled person learn, I really do understand, so be honest and tell me so.
Thanks again, 03:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Crohnie 03:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Hi, sorry for this mess. I am trying to understand but this is all new to me. If someone could delete my errors I really would apreciate it. I thought having an account kept personal info private but it is my faulty because I forgot to sign in. I really do want a mentor though that has patience with me, sorry don't know how to request one but I think it's on the main page but it's late now for me so I need to get to bed. Would deleting all of this make it easier or not? Anyways, I look forward to hearing from someone (s). Thanks again.

Hello. I'm sorry, but my plate is too full right now for me to be really useful to you as a mentor. You might want to look at WP:ADOPT, which is a more formal way to match new users up with more experienced ones who can help them out. Take a look, and if you're interested, go to your user page, edit it, and type {{Adoptme}} (in double-curly braces) at the top, then save it. That should bring a mentor your direction. Best of luck. MastCell 04:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I noticed your addition to the Crohn's disease talk page and see that you are looking for someone to adopt you. I'd be glad to help out, though my schedule for the last few months has meant I'm not around as much. Feel free to ask me questions on my talk page or through e-mail if you prefer. It might take a day or two (at the most), but I'll try to point you in the right direction! InvictaHOG 18:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
A quick welcome again to the wiki! Hope you enjoy being here. I'm a gastroenterologist who treats Crohn's disease, and it's a pleasure to have you aboard. Feel free to pop around WP:GI if you are looking for ways to help out! -- Samir धर्म 02:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I am willing to take help anyway I can. I do have someone who has adopted me though and would like to give it a try with him/her. But if I make a mistake please don't hesitate to jump in to help. I have pictures on my computer but have no idea how to send them (I am allowed to share them) to you (they are very graffic and I still haven't learned how to put any kind of links in. I am not real technical and science is not in me but I would like to edit a few minor things on the crohn's page that I know is incorrect.

Sorry but how do I post without having blockquote? When I don't use it I end up with a pink box with a long string comment. Thanks,-- Crohnie 11:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
If you haven't read some of the information on how to contribute, this link is a great place to start as far as the mechanics. As far as the block quote - you do not need to put that tag with each post. You simply need to start your comments at the far left side without any spaces. When you put a space in front of your post, it puts it in the little box. If you'd like to indent, use a colon like this : InvictaHOG 15:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, Ilena's editing behavior in areas where she has an obvious conflict of interest has confused many people. It may be settled in Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Barrett_v._Rosenthal, where the only remedy discussed so far is banning Ilena for six months. Just try not to let her get on your nerves and don't assume her behavior is appropriate. -- Ronz 00:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, it just gets confusing when the feuding and stuff starts. I am a calm person and really don't want to get involved in that kind of stuff so I think it makes me hesitant. -- Crohnie 14:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I hear Ya! That is funny, it doesn't bother me as much because I have an Italian mother who ranted and raved most of my childhood:) I eventually learned that she was yelling because nobody was listening to her;) I also figured out that just because my mom and dad never agreed on anything, didn't mean either one was right. Remember, all we are here to do is report from verifiable and reliable sources and let the reader decide. You seem to have a good sense of fairness. Hold on to it. -- Dēmatt (chat) 16:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks I'll give it a try. I only use outlook for newsgroups so I don't know if it will work with office. To be honest, I wasn't worried about being deleted by anyone, and if I am oh well. I am new so mistakes happen. I would never delete someone elses edits at this point unless it was clearly vandelism. The only deletion I have done so far is when I first started, I deleted my name on an article. :)-- Crohnie 14:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
My page is getting long, and the links to help me I have saved in my favorites so I would like to make this page a little smaller. Is it too soon to do this? Archiving is the way to do this right? Thanks for any information. -- Crohnie 14:09, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Can you tell me exactly how to do this? I tried move and it sends me to a page I don't understand and it doesn't look like the right location for me. I read the archive stuff, but it is way over my head right now. Is there a way to automatically get old threads archived so I don't have to deal with it though it's probabably better that I learn how to do it. -- Crohnie 18:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Just a friendly Hiya from another Newbie. Hope you are enjoying your Wiki experience. It's kind of fun, Yes? I haven't made many edits because my learning curve is more on the down rather than up. Catch you later. Emilydcksn 08:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Here is what people have learned: as long as you don't say what you mean, you can later deny what you meant. I think that you are a very perceptive person; when you read what people write, you get what they mean and not just what they say. This is why you are picking up on the cruel undertones of the bitter storm churning right now on the edges of science. If I knew how to bring about a compromise that would satisfy people on both sides of these issues, I would. I'm sad about the way things are, too. But for right now, I'm not sure how to satisfy both sides. I think it will take some time before it becomes clear how this will be resolved. In the meantime, keep doing the good work that you do. This encyclopedia exists for and because of people like you, who are willing to put in the hard work to improve important articles like Crohn's disease. Very soon I'd like to be able to return to focusing on the content instead of bitter talk-page disputes, as well. Talk to you soon. Ante lan talk 02:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I've seen a lot of editors make bad faith assumptions of others, mostly as a method of baiting and gaming the system. I recommend you get a third party involved when this happens, or at least make a mental note that they're acting from the perspective of assuming bad faith on your part. They're just trying to escalate conflicts, making the conflicts personal, to create an excuse for their own incivility. Best to keep cool and calm. -- Ronz ( talk) 18:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I took a quick first pass over the lead and made some edits for readability. One thing I don't think I did a good job on was "skip lesions" which probably should have its own article. I know next-to-nothing about this particular condition, so if any of the edits I made introduce misconceptions or incorrect wording, please feel free to edit them mercilessly.

Hi Orangemarlin, I know complaints against you are plenty because some don't feel you are civil. I am curious though, how do you feel about what is going on in many location about Scienceapologist. I don't know you very well, other than our brief comments a while back and I didn't know anything about SA until recently. If you prefer to take this to email, please don't hesitate. I find that there is a lot of drama over the way editors state things. I am not the sensitive type that gets angry and runs to boards. If I have a probem or a question I go to the editor. Lately I've been spending my time reading the ANI board, ARB. amd other boards like this which seems to me to be totally out of control on some of the complaints and problems. Remember, just curious, you do not have to answer if you don't want to! :) -- CrohnieGal Talk 00:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I put in the template. I have it so that it archives anything over 7 days old, and puts it into a new archive once an old one reaches more than 60 KB. Let me know if you'd like anything changed about that. I may have done it wrong, since I've never done it before. Hopefully it will start working soon, let me know if it doesn't. I assume it will work on the stuff that was already here, but I'm not actually sure. Anyway, let me know how it turned out either way! Peace, delldot on a public computer talk 02:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok, it's not doing anything and on my talk page it doesn't have this [4] which I think it should be on the top of my talk page. Boy, they could make it much easier to use these things couldn't they?

Thanks for stopping by WLU, I responded to you on your talk page because I don't know if you are set up to see my page. Delldot, I deleted what you stated and since the title Pregnancy and Crohn's disease got deleted I put in a paragraph that I think reads better and falls in with policy. [6] I am ready for anyone thoughts as I am really trying hard to do this right. -- CrohnieGal Talk 00:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Delldot, I am not getting frustrated at all and I really appreciate advice from others. I am learning things I did not know like the post above from WLU. I am working an article that I know I have strong POV about and not a lot of science or medical knowledge except personal experiences. So having others eyes on me is all 'good' to keep it honest and it also helps me learn and try to think things through a little better. So I do like all help and if I feel stressed about anything I will take a time out first before allowing this to make me ill. I'm having fun so far.

Hi Crohnie, what EBDCM is saying there is that anything that treats pain is affecting the nervous system, which is part of the brain. Since we know that the brain affects health, it should follow that treating pain affects health because it affects the nervous system which affects the brain. You pretty much already know this, as when you are feeling pain you have a difficult time concentrating and everything in life is less enjoyable, this is what we mean when we say health and well-being. IF we can find a way to decrease pain, we can improve health and well-being. The controversy, of course, is whether chiropractic really does this. That is why the effects of spinal manipulation is such a controversial issue, first we have to prove it affects the nervous system, then we can make claims as to its affects. The problem is that spinal manipulation has been around since before scientific thinking. The last 30 years have been spent proving its value in decreasing pain. The question that has to be proven now is that, even if there is no pain, does spinal manipulation improve health through some other mechanism besides pain relief. There is some primary research that says there might be some affects, but the jury is still out. But overall, the least that chiropractors are doing is decreasing pain, which I am sure everyone agrees has some value. I'll email you about your son. -- Dēmatt (chat) 17:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Regards this edit, since this is a page about a medical condition, 'Joe random website' is not a suitable source for anything (it's why we have WP:MEDRS). Also, if you would have preferred the text removed, you are within your rights per WP:PROVEIT. Fact tagging is OK if you wish to assume good faith, but if you think it's bunk (and I do), then it can be flatly removed. On the other hand if you think there's merit, then the page would be improved by replacing the information sourced to a reliable document. WLU ( talk) 19:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I hope people are watching my page anyways! :) My computer will be shut down tomorrow as it is moving day. I thought I would be shut down already but as you can see, here I am. It should take a couple of days to get everything set up with our computers and setting up new accounts with a new server. I hope I am missed a little! ;) (grinning) I maybe able to come check on things with hubby's lap or mom's computer. But anyways, play nice (joking sorta ;)) and I'll miss you. Please, if anything is going on that I should be aware of or that you think would be of interest to me, please post it on my page so I am aware. I am kind of a junkie here I guess, who isn't! I hope those of you I know haven't being feeling well are now feeling great. Those of you who I email with or anyone who wants to email me still can with the e-mail this user. I will be able to access this account for a little while. Well I am babbling, sorry. I've been in hyper drive now for a few days trying to get this and that done. So my final comment until I return is this, I wish all of you happiness, good health and no edit problems. Please take care, -- CrohnieGal Talk 21:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey Crohnie, I'm taking a month-long wikibreak, I'll be back April 18 (It's gonna suck! I have to see how addicted I really am to Wikipedia. More details about that on my user page). I can ask someone to take over as your mentor for the month if you want, just email me. If that doesn't work out, you can post questions to the help desk or ask any admin. You can also email me, but I won't be editing at all for the month :-( I'll miss you, but see you in a month! Peace, delldot talk 11:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC) By the way, I loved your note the other day! I smile every time I think of it!

I made it through another year still being vertical! It's been a long hard year for me but I have to say that I am very pleased and have lots of love in my heart for everyone who has help and supported me here and with my family!
Again I would like to thank everyone for helping me when I needed it (and even when I didn't know I needed help.). Thank you everyone and good health and happiness to all of you. -- CrohnieGal Talk 19:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC) PS: I figured I would practice using the images.
Hi Crohnie,
Regards this diff, check WP:ENGVAR - authorisation is a valid spelling, but in the UK and former colonies. Engvar is pretty vague, but basically if it's an article that's mostly about a US subject, it gets the 'z'; if it's mostly british, 's'. This is only a bit of interesting info - I think your change to natalizumab was suitable as it's mostly a drug developed and approved in the states. WLU ( talk) 14:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Crohnie,
I read your post on talk:natalizumab, which dealt with side effects. My vague recollection was that you had a citation and write-up for the non-PML and liver side effects of natalizumab that is more specific than the current 'fatigue and allergic reactions' (i.e. rash, etc). I have a part request, part suggestion - I think it would be very good for you as an editor to be bold! and add both the expanded list of specific side effects and the citation to the page. The best way to learn on wikipedia is to do, that is, to edit. The page has active oversight from several experienced editors, so if you do make an error, it will be noticed in short order and corrected (myself, being an admitted wikiholic, will probably notice it within a couple hours).
You don't have to, you've said before that you don't want to add stress because of wikipedia. Though engaging on talk pages is a big part of wikipedia, it just isn't as fun as editing a main page. Errors can be reverted, and I've no doubts of your good intentions. I also have no doubt that your careful analysis and excellent writing skills would be an asset to mainspace as well as talk pages. I could probably add the info myself fairly easily, but as I said, practice is instructive and invaluable. If you'd prefer, you could draft a section based on what you already have on your sandbox, and I could gander at it to let you know if there's any adjustments I think would be beneficial, then you could paste it yourself into the page.
My efforts in this are not solely for your benefit - wikipedia needs knowledgeable editors who can interpret and apply sources and policy, as well as being able to work with other editors calmly and civily. Wikipedia's not that scary, and there's always an undo button, please be our Obi-Wan and help us! WLU ( talk) 17:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
<undent>Locked out of editing and an angry spouse. Sounds like my Tuesday night :) I frequently fight over the computer and feel your pain. Sometimes they just don't realize how important wikipedia is :P A friend of mine sent me this a while ago. I think it captures my hobby perfectly. As for lockouts, they rarely last longer than a minute - just keep hitting edit/save until it goes through. WLU ( talk) 17:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Nope, looks like I'm going ahead. Will RFC/U instead, possibly tomorrow or Monday. In the meantime, I'll be building a case here. Feel free to add if you'd like, please separate into your own section though. WLU ( talk) 17:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
This is in response to your note at Natalizumab: Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a new set of paperwork for the US FDA. You basically explain why your drug, even though it's not perfectly safe, is worth keeping on the market. An approvable REMS is expected to say something like "Hardly anybody uses this drug anyway, they're all going to die if they don't get our drug, the nastiest side effects are rare anyway, and besides all that, if the doc runs this test every month, then the problem will be caught early, while it's still reversible" -- or something like that, except that you say it at much, much, much greater length, and with the details depending on the actual problems with the specific drug in question.

Hi Crohnie, I was going to post a long explanation of what a diff is, but then I reviewed your carefully thought-out prose and relized I was reading too quickly again and had missed the point. So the only thing I'll say here is the easiest way I've found to check through diffs is to load up the contribution history of the individual in question and use WP:POPUPS preview feature. Popups are great and very useful in general, though not as good as Hodgepodge (which unfortunately doesn't work very well with internet explorer). WLU ( talk) 14:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Crohnie,
I've never used twinkle, sorry! No real advice. You said 'OE', I assume you mean 'IE', internet explorer? That's the terrible abortion of a program I am forced to use as well. I have installed Popups, from what I've seen it's less useful than Twinkle but I still find it very handy.
If you install popups (as easy as going to preferences > gadgets > click the Popups box, in my day it was harder, and you really appreciated it when it worked! Damn kids with their cellphones and their easy gadgets clickboxes...) then it allows one-click reverting. When you hover the cursor over the 'diff' in watchlist, or over a specific edit in the history or mainpage during a diff, it'll give you an option 'rv' (it's pretty cramped in my version - it shows up as
Play around with popups on your talk page or a sandbox for a bit until you get used to it - it's not hard to figure out at all, but a bit of practice will save you reverting to the wrong version. I'm still figuring things out with it, and it's pretty handy. I'm not sure how it works, but there's also an option to rollback which is one-touch and quicker than a revert. See WP:ROLL.
Really, to fully take advantage of the tools you pretty much have to switch to Firefox. If you have the option, I heartily recommend it, I've always found firefox much better than the Windows equivalent. WLU ( talk) 14:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
(undent) Sorry, I don't know. You could bring it up at image use policy. I really kinda doubt it though, but when it comes to images I'm very reluctant to say anything concrete just because I HATE IMAGE USE and find it very confusing. I don't think I'm a stupid guy, but I start reading copyright information and the left hemisphere of my brain starts to beat up my right hemisphere in a desperate attempt not to die of boredom. How d'you feel about doing this yourself as a learning exercise? Because (and I don't know if I've mentioned it) I HATE IMAGE USE. WLU ( talk) 17:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
<Outdent> No, I got a picture sent to me from a website to my email. I have the picture on an attachment to an email from a friend who took it from the N website. Now what do I do? -- CrohnieGal Talk 10:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
WLU I think I figured out how to put a picture in. I did it with the PG here [8] (Warning graphic picture) (now to get it into the article, hmmm!) What do you think? If I were to put the N picture in, what category would I use? I think it would be worth a try to see if it will stay in or not. Thoughts? -- CrohnieGal Talk 12:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
<outdent>Please keep me informed. It figures they would say no, you saved me time putting together an email to request the use! -- CrohnieGal Talk 19:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi sweetie, pleasure to hear from you again. Hmm, I'm not sure we'll be able to use the photo. Who took it? The copyright belongs to the person who took it, so they would have to release it under a free license, which I can help with. Even if the person who took it is willing to release it, if it's been published on the web, we'll have to get permission from the site (or from an email address associated with it). I'm glad to help with this. I may not be able to be around much today, but I'll be able to help some time this weekend for sure. delldot talk 13:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
<outdent> No problem, I will when I get a chance to email them about the other. Still empting boxes and such from the move. Thanks as always, -- CrohnieGal Talk 18:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I had started making some changes, but stopped in case I missed something. The guidelines at Wikipedia:Layout#Standard appendices and descriptions and WP:MOS indicate that "External links" belong in their own section, not the "See also" section. But I wanted to ask if there's a medical/disease specific formatting guideline that I may have overlooked. Can you help clarify? To be safe, I won't change any further articles until this is confirmed one way or the other. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 15:00, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba ( talk) 01:00, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Crohnie. Could you also take a look at the Codex Alimentarius talk page if you get time? DivaNtrainin has removed what I consider to be a perfectly good reference (from the Guardian, a major British newspaper), saying that "this is not a quality reference." The Guardian easily qualifies as a reliable source WP:SOURCES with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy and I would really welcome your opinion on this, if possible.
In addition, on the health freedom movement article, DivaNtrainin has reworded a key sentence in the 'Ideology and objectives' section to read as follows:
"The belief that supplements and vitamins can demonstrably improve health or longevitiy is not backed by evidence-based medicine, nor is it widely accepted in the orthodox medical community or the alternative medical community, because there is felt to be insufficient evidence to support such claims."
Spelling errors aside, and rightly or wrongly, the belief that supplements and vitamins can improve health or longevity is actually widespread in the alternative medical community. More to the point, the reference cited by DivaNtrainin does not even support this rewording. I've already reverted DivaNtrainin's edit once, to correct this clear error, but DivaNtrainin immediately reverted back. I would therefore really welcome your opinion on this too, if you have time. Many thanks! Vitaminman ( talk) 20:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, many thanks Crohnie! I will do as you suggest with the Codex Alimentarius article. (I didn't write it, the fact that it looks like my writing is probably just due to the fact that I have done a fair few bits of rewriting on it here and there. Glad you think that the Health Freedom Movement article is looking a lot better. I agree that more work is needed, any help that you can offer will be great. And yes, you take care too, I'll try to drop in a little more often to say hello! Vitaminman ( talk) 13:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Hiya Crohnie,
Thanks for the vote of confidence; ResearchEditor is very aware of me and my editing habits, we've a long, acrimonious history, and RE has recently been banned from editing SRA and Michelle Remembers (which you've seen on the Admin's noticeboard). The problem isn't that RE and Arthur Rubin are unfamiliar with me, the problem is with another editor (who was banned).
As part of my contribution to your wiki-learning, may I venture the following: though your comment was very kind and I'm flattered, it's only really going to be helpful in situations in which another editor is unfamiliar with me. It would be the ideal comment for a request for adminship or were my actions under review (for instance, were I in RE's position or were people taking his/her comments about my own approach or POV issues seriously). Generally there's no harm to saying what you did, but there can be a danger of getting sucked in to an ongoing dispute or harrassed if the other editor is stupid enough to do so - wikipedia is nothing if not a schoolyard rife with grudges. A third opinion or comment on the sources or links might also have been helpful as it indicates a third party has reviewed them and finds them lacking, or fruitful. Another possible danger is accusations of meat- or sockpuppetry; since you've a long history on wiki and lots of good contributions, I don't think that'd be a concern.
And allow me to venture a "shucks, y'all made me blush" :)
Regards the Wikipedia:Tag team essay you've asked me about before, I'd say it should be policy were it not for the huge problems with interpretation. The key word for me is "disruptive" editing. Cesar Tort and I could be accused of tag-teaming on the satanic ritual abuse page, but for the recent AN and NPOV discussions that thoroughly and heartily dis-endorsed ResearchEditor's approach to editing. However, since we were defending, rather than interfering with, consensus, and since we were opposing a single editor rather than another group, it's not really a concern. That being said, I am quite aware that were CT and I not well supported by multiple very good sources our actions would have been extremely questionable. Even still I'm uncomfortable with it and prefer an exception basis rather than a regular pattern of working with a single other editor to revert pages (plus, Cesar and I didn't plan it, we're just regularly on wikipedia and monitored SRA a lot in the past weeks).
Again, the key is disruptive - if the goal is to push an agenda, if it's organized, if it's against consensus, if it's to make a fringe position appear mainstream, then it's a problem. However it's a fine line and subtle distinction, which often depends on the POV of the person/people doing the reverting. I'm not surprised at all that it's seen as both problematic and a current problem. Civility parole I've not heard of, do you have a link? WLU ( talk) 19:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your note on my talk page; nice to see you (and others e.g. Shot Info) are still active on WP. I'm doing well (relatively speaking) & enjoying the company of good friends, nice weather and the occasional overhead mirage (aircraft). How are you doing these days? Avb
Hello again!!
Would you take a look at the Codex Alimentarius article if you have time? There's an external link in the article that I'm sure doesn't belong there ( Conference of Rima E laibow, 2008) but the editor who added it there has reverted my undo. I'm sure that it fails WP:RS and WP:EL. Very sorry to read that you've been having a hard time with your health. I hope that you're feeling better very soon.

Having suffered with IBS for some 18 years a wide spectrum antibiotic treated my illness.
The reseasrch that followed and the suggetions to others suffering from Crohns showed 100% improvment.
Intestinal Problems and Parasites
Once you get over the 'it can't be that simple' and hopefully it works...
It truly beyond belief, but then again look at the Cigarette Industry...

i laugh now, but for some 18 years I was similar to you, your situation is more serious. I thought I was dying, so I spent my time, trying to create....i created a philosophy 'thinking in colors..."
Then i finally sat down and tried to put my attention on my health problem and was shocked to find a cure...by accident.
i still cannot believe how we are being deceived about these 'intestinal problems'...
Good luck...

Hi Caesar, I welcome anyone to comment at my talk pages. I am sorry but I do not agree with you or your website about cures for Crohn's disease or IBS. I have lived with these diseases myself for a very long time. I try alternates too but have not found that eating good bacteria helps me at all. I have not had but an 8 month remission in my CD in the over 8 years that I have CD and still resulted multiple surgeries. If you can find RS that are V then post them at the proper article. Our personal beliefs don't belong here. I ask a trusted editor to help me when I edit in an area that I know I have strong POV. I know you believe what you post but Wikipedia isn't for Truth nor is it for soapboxing your personal ideas. You seem to feel there is a vast Conspiracy theory going on but really there isn't. I hope you understand that your run for truth will not be allowed here, sorry but this is a fact. We all have to follow all the policies when editing here. If you have reliable sources that can be verified with another source then by all means post it to the talk page for discussion but so far I haven't seen any. Sorry, have a good, healthy day. -- CrohnieGal Talk 18:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Probiotics by themselves won't help, you are at advanced stages of infection. People who have tried the three report great improvements. Good luck...
-- Caesar J.B. Squitti: Son of Maryann Rosso and Arthur Natale Squitti (talk) 00:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
When taking fiber, you may have to add Omega 3 or 3/6/9 to help the digestive track.
You are correct, everyone is different, so someone can take 'fresh garlic' some can't.
Again there are many 'faceets' to the problem so you have to address them all at once. The 'parasite' will redevelop and cause further problems.
Good Luck.
-- Caesar J.B. Squitti: Son of Maryann Rosso and Arthur Natale Squitti (talk) 14:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
You don't take antibiotics, well as for antibiotics, they were given to me for a lung infection. since i did not have drug plan, i was given an old wide spectrum drug, (erthomycin) very inexpensive, but still very good. (today the modern anitiobiotics are more specific, which creates a problem when you can't find the specific infection)
So what can i tell, you, 'the system' did not find and treat the infection, it was mere ...i would like to think a grace from god...18 years ?
See what happens when you place your faith in the 'system'...
-- Caesar J.B. Squitti: Son of Maryann Rosso and Arthur Natale Squitti (talk) 21:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
The way the categories were linked meant that your user page was in the categories, rather than simply linking to them. With a ":" place right after the first brackets, that pulls your page out of the category and creates a normal link of the page. Cheers. -- Izno ( talk) 13:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Crohnie, I undid the revert you made to the Serial killer article. I am not vandalizing the page. I am cleaning it up because it has been selected by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team for inclusion in Wikipedia 0.7, and they asked members of the Serial Killer task force to assist with article cleanup and improvement. Please leave an edit summary in the future when making reverts. Thanks, -- *momoricks* ( talk) 22:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your question. I don't remember making any edits to the Zodiac killer article. Oh, and about the he/she thing. You used he or she so I was just letting you know which one I am. :) -- *momoricks* ( talk) 23:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
No worries. I'm just glad that I'm not going crazy. :) -- *momoricks* ( talk) 03:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi CrohnieGal,
per your recent edit summary on IBS, I'd like to invite you to comment on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#Value_of_Epocrates_external_links.
Also, I was wondering, since your user page states that you have a combination of medical problems and are presumably taking at least some pills, I was wondering if you could take picture of them (if those pictures don't exist already) and upload them to Commons.
Also, I was wondering if you could provide a description for Image:Crohnie Pyoderma gangrenosum.jpg: is this on a leg, and if so, which side?

I've replied, so our e-mail communication line seems to work. It's a pleasure working with you! -- Steven Fruitsmaak ( Reply) 15:41, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the note. I try to put the tags there to give editors a chance to incorporate them into the references. Now that I think about it, I'll start putting a note about it on the article's talk page. Your link cleanup looks great. I think it's fine to keep the link to his artwork considering it's some of the best-known serial killer art. Best, -- *momoricks* ( talk) 15:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
We'd love to have you on the Serial killer task force. Wildhartlivie and I seem to be the only active members right now. momoricks talk 05:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Ooops. Sorry, I'm not able to spend as much time editing as I'd like at the moment and seem to be making a few mistakes. Thanks for cleaning up after me and not getting angry. I'm sure that I was putting it back though :s weird. Verbal chat 20:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm currently at work with limited internet access so I can't view the URL link, but I'll take a look at it when I get home in about 5 hours. Talk to ya soon, momoricks talk 03:02, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Crohnie, like Wild said, don't worry about it. None of us is perfect. You were trying to improve the article, that's what counts. I really appreciate your help in improving these articles. I've been bouncing back and forth between Serial killer and Aileen Wuornos for weeks and still feel like they are far from Feature Article status. All we can do is just keep plugging away at them. Best, momoricks talk 10:48, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
In your recent post to Chris Heimerdinger:Talk you argued for the removal of New York Times and Public Library sources as references to support the existence of certain films. Are these not considered Reliable Sources? Or do the listed items simply not require supporting citations. If these are unreliable, could you be so kind as to point me towards a source superior in reliability to the NYT's or a public Librarys card catalog for supporting the existence of a work? Thanks! 76.238.22.59 ( talk) 18:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba ( talk) 16:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I got bit big time by a bug I got on the administrators board, thus my computer is down and probably will have to be rebuilt. Please hold off on any emails and the such for a little while until I let you know I have access. I am borrowing a laptop at the moment for this message but can not use my own computer. I hope the idiot who thought they were cute enjoyed themselves. Talk to you soon, maybe. -- CrohnieGal Talk 10:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Crohnie, kudos on your cool-headed attempt to gain clarity on GDB's talk page. You may be interested to note the case definition page. Also, regards the ME vs. CFS/IBD vs. IBS, I don't believe this is a comparable circumstance. IBS and IBD are different conditions, with different definitions, symptoms, treatments, scopes, etc; IBS diagnosis requires exclusion of IBD from what I can see. ME and CFS are essentially the same thing (from what I know, I could be wrong and if I am I wish someone had shown me the reference before). From what I've read, ME is used interchangeably, but essentially describes the same condition as CFS. Some describe CFS and ME as lying on a continuum, with ME being the more serious condition (in the "4 out of the following 12 symptoms" versus "10 out of 12") but much of the criteria overlapping. But I could be wrong, from what I've read they are pretty much interchangeable. WLU (t) (c) (rules - simple rules) 17:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
First, thank you for your interest in this article. I also appreciate the work you have done on wikipedia. Concerning pyoderma gangrenosum, I want to place it under "Erythemas" as per the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Dermatology_task_force/Categorization, a categorization scheme that was developed after extended discussion at the main wikiproject medicine page. I believe pyoderma gangrenosum does appropriately fit under erythemas, this based on how it is described and categorized in: James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005). Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology (10th ed.). Saunders. ISBN 0721629210, specifically pages 139 and 147, also being found in the chapter entitled, "Erythma and urticaria." Regardless, ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Skin diseases is now depreciated, with ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Cutaneous conditions being used now. Therefore, would you reconsider allowing the categorization of pyoderma gangrenosum under "Erythemas"? kilbad ( talk) 14:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Hola,
This would be a revert based on WP:ELNO, not WP:ENGVAR - ENGVAR is for people who alternate or 'correct' between British and American spellings. WLU (t) (c) (rules - simple rules) 22:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, appreciate your frustration, but generally IPs anons get the message with a block of a few hours and go away. This one returned same/next day, and in same manner of being disruptive - so I've blocked for over a day hoping they will finally get the message... let me know if they return and I'll ramp up the exclusion for this vandalism-only account :-) David Ruben Talk 14:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a note to say thanks for your efforts to keep some of the articles related to the crime projects from vandalism, additions of trivia and irrelevant content. Keep up the good work! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 00:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Apparently I've rubbed someone the wrong way when I removed a newly started trivia section in this article. Or maybe it was that I was super annoyed that someone started it, and worded my hidden note too strongly. In any event, he's raised the issue on the talk page, and I've responded. Would you please look at the discussion at Talk:Susan Atkins#Pop culture reference and (hopefully) support my opinion? Thanks! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 22:20, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
