If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a
wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to
be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at
How to edit a page, or try out the
Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

Sorry, but I fail to see the logic behind your post on my talk page. To begin with, your revert was not encyclopedic, and it appeared to not follow WP:NPOV. Also, your revert 1 included a removal of the article's sources. These must remain on the page as per Wikipedia policy. Please do not Assume Bad Faith against me, there is no reason to complain. If you disagree with the article bring it up on the talk page before making any significant edits. I will keep your edit for now, but the sources must remain.

Thank you for starting discussion on the talk page. I have been privately contacted by Mr. Gray via email and was prepared to side with him until I realized what the issue was. I hope that he chooses to respond to your comments on the talk page in a WP:CIVIL way. I urge both of you to follow the policy I just linked to in your dispute. If your attempt at communication doesn't work, we have the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution process.
I realized that no one had welcomed you yet, so I did so above. You will find a number of helpful links, although you seem to be doing a great job figuring stuff out on your own. On the talk page for Telectronics, linked above in my section header, you wrote the date and your initials. It is faster, and standard in Wikipedia, to sign comments by using tildes; I've explained it at the end of the welcome above. If you want to make a new section, bracket the section title with equals signs, e.g. ==Title==. Wikipedia is formatted likea block style letter, so single carriage returns do not produce a new line. To insert a single line break type: <br>. If you want to make a second paragraph, like this one, put two carriage returns making a blank line between the two. If you edit this page, you will see what I mean. The tutorial and how to edit links I left above will cover this. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. — WAvegetarian• CONTRIBUTIONS TALK• EMAIL•20:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
You don't have to say who the last editor was and apologetically edit the article (Telectronics [1]. I know that you had a rough start here, but be bold. You can just say wording change. SJ's contributions are no more valuable than your own. I will admit that the apologetic nature of you summary is only my opinion, but that is how it came off to me. Also, as a logged in contributor, you have special benefits, like being able to mark your edits as minor. Just above the "Save page" button there is a little check box that says "This is a minor edit;" checking this box marks your edit with a minor edit mark, saving you the trouble of writing it yourself. If you click on the history tab for this page, you will see two examples of the minor edit mark (my previous two edits). — WAvegetarian TALK CONTRIBS EMAIL 05:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

First, go to Telectronics/rewrite. Here you will find a copy of the current article. I would like you to change whatever it is that you want added to the current article here. If all goes well and the article is improved, then we will change the actual Telectronics article to the rewrite edition. I'm signing off for the night, but I will be back on to check up.

Geoffrey, unfortunately I am not in a good position to look into your case, as I'm incredibly busy these days. I recommend you have a read of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration - you may find answers there. Sorry I could not be of more help. Cnwb 06:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, regarding this comment that you posted, please read WP:NLT. I know you are upset about this, but if you are indeed in the right, and have reliable sources that back up your viewpoint, consensus and/or arbitration will eventually take place that will lead to a ban against this other editor should he refuse to cooperate.
Thanks for understanding. -- Chris (talk) 14:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I've noticed that you've been editing medicine related articles -- from your contributions. We have a place where the medically minded people hang out: WikiProject "Clinical Medicine". You are invited to join or just browse the talk page, which is also known as the doctors' mess.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Other helpful people are Samir (an internist), QRS (a retired Aussie cardiac surgeon -- that's around occasionally), Ksheka (a cardiologist), Dlodge (a cardiac surgery resident) and Jfdwolff. Nephron T| C 06:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Welcome. I hope you enjoy using Wikipedia.
One suggestion, rather than posting your email on your user page (where the spambots can find it), there is a Wikipedia form people can use to send you email. This is the link and an example of the form:
You need to allow users to send you email in your preferences by selecting the "Enable e-mail from other users" box (and saving your preferences).

Hi, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
I moved Victor Parsonnet. Details on how to move a page are here --> WP:MOVE. The short of the long of it is-- every page has a tab cross the top that says "Move". If you click on that you can move the page in most circumstances.
If you see something that is wrong... you can be bold and just do it. If someone disagrees... you have a discussion and come to an agreement. Any case, on the topic of Cardiac resynchronization therapy -- it would be best to do a redirect -- WP:redirect. A redirect is the proper way to deal with something for which there are several names. If you're curious about whether a redirect has been created for a given article-- click on the "What links here" in the 'toolbox' on the right. As an example-- here is the link for CABG --> Special:Whatlinkshere/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery.
I'm interested in things cardiac and, actually, I published a paper on the hemodynamics of CABGs a while back... but I'm tied up with other things now-- a nephro paper I started... med school... trying to get a residency spot (in radiology)-- which is up in the air at the moment.
Feel free to continue posting on my talk page if you have questions... if you're okay with sometimes things taking a while. I do usually respond. That said, I'll point-out that you can also post on WP:CLINMED's discussion page... someone is always around there and odds are you'll find someone that is willing to help-out. WP functions because most people are good... and interested in writing a good encyclopedia.
As for the breast implant bit... I wouldn't see it some much as "taking flack". Any case, you can see that (1) being tolerant of a diversity of view points is an asset and (2) you can learn from people that have a different perspective. I'll point-out that the issue is complicated... and if you look at the RFC ( WP:RFC) related to it ( Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Jance)-- you can, perhaps, also learn something about how WP functions. Nephron T| C 15:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
For some reason, the link still doesnt work, so I just searched for google and found it. I'm not sure what you mean by collaberation, but I have added the document as a reference to dust devil. Feel free to contact me any time, though right now I am more focussed on school than Wikipedia. - Runningonbrains 05:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the info about the pacemakers. Dailly Rubbings 00:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. As far as copying the definition from that link I don't think it would be appropriate for a couple reasons. Obviously there is the initial concern about plagiarism (the page does have a copyright) but mainly Wikipedia is not a dictionary so I think adding all of that to the disambiguation page wouldn't be proper. The good news is that the sister project wiktionary is a dictionary. What might be best for the composite materials page would be to link to the wiktionary page, this can be done by adding [[wikt:matrix|matrix]] ( matrix) rather than a normal piped link. The wiktionary page could then be improved to the desired level. I'll have a look at matrix as well, disambiguation pages aren't my specialty but if it just needs a little TLC...
Also, the tip on my user page you mentioned is actually just a template that changes every day (what excellent timing). You can add {{totd}} to your own user page if you would like it to be displayed there as well. I hope this answers your question (in a round about way) and if you ever have any other questions about wikipedia feel free to ask, I'd be happy to help if I can or at least point you in the right direction!

Copyedit from my "talk" page: "Seems we both have more than a casual interest in aviation ! I felt that I should talk with you about the edits I made & your reversions. The changes I made were with best intent; to clarify a few points for better understanding by readers less familiar with sports aviation than you or me. To the various points: The "claim" of being easy to fly. This claim was contained within brochures received by an SAAA member who sought my counsel in the late 70's. My opinion was not supportive of the claim. I suggest that later experience showed the original design, and even the later variants, to be not easy to fly. "Most popular aircraft in modern history", which I changed to "most desired, albeit unproven, light aircraft". I suggest that the most popular a/c in modern history is probably the 747; hence my qualification "light aircraft". Re "Most popular" it was probably the 'most unpopular' experimental cat. a/c among those who purchased kits; but as evidenced by the sales volume it was certainly the "most desired". Re my words "albeit unproven", the record shows that it was definitely an unproven design that was offered. Re "decidely fast" or my words "far too fast", this is mainly semantics, I think 'far too fast' gives a better understanding to the layman. Re "rewarding, if demanding', to which I added "to the pilot" because that is where the decision about any a/c being "rewarding, if demanding" lies. Go kindly Geoffrey Wickham 05:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)."
I have updated the article on fire whirls. I haven't gotten into vortex dynamics, although I do intend to expand it to include such information. If you're still interested, feel free to give it a review and make any improvements as you see fit. One thing that is definitely needed is differentiating between flame vortices (small to larger scale) and whirlwinds that form without flame or even outside the fire area, since different processes are involved. I've found publications scant on fire whirls, unfortunately. Evolauxia 23:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
A knowledge of HTML isn't required for editing Wikipedia. We use our own custom wiki-markup language. Just edit the article you wish to add the image to, and include the following
[[Image:NameofImage.jpg|right|thumb|Caption]]
replacing the filename and caption accordingly in my example above. That's all there is to it. It might pay to read over Wikipedia:Image copyright tags if you wish to release your own photographs. -- Longhair\ talk 01:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Experimental vortex.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
You can now just copy and paste the following into the article. Note that the image name is case sensitive, hence .JPG is needed in this case to match your given file name.

Hi Goeffrey,
With regard to the Artificial pacemaker article, feel free to post on WP:CLINMED. It isn't an exclusive club. All comments, questions and suggestions are welcome. On cursory glance, the article looks good. Nephron T| C 07:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
re:
Regarding your suggestion that I make the changes - the material is way over my completely nominal knowlege of the subject (my only other edit was to add the x-ray image, which I found on the Commons). However, the changes to the text you suggest should not be too difficult for you to make.
First, select the article and then the tab "Edit this page". The wiki-syntax text of the entire article will be displayed in an edit box at the bottom of an image of the article. Read to find the section that you want to modify. Using the basic functions of your browser you may select and cut text and 'then click and paste to place it elsewhere as desired. New section headers are lines that begin with one or more equal signs, with text and the same number of terminating signs as, e.g, "==Section head text==" which will be rendered with a logical indent level defined by the number of "=" signs used - this also determines the font size and weight used. Alternatively, if the new section is to immediately follow its source you may edit just the one section, forming a new section at the bottom.
Regarding the illustration, I centered and widened it to accommodate the long title, but now think that it would be better to restore its original size and text and title it with "Click on image for explanation", perhaps you would like to make that change also.
Remember, preview your changes, and once you preview and wish to continue your edit do not use the back button, always perform modified edits with the new text box at the bottom of the preview page.
Feel free to ask any further questions as needed.
Best wishes, Leonard G. ( talk) 04:55, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Greetings:
I reverted your POV based deletion, since stating that the REVAi/G-Wiz is the "...top selling electric car..." is not a point of view, it is a statement of (alleged) fact. I have tagged it as requiring a reference.

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ( speak to me) 12:10, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Any case, you can see that (1) being tolerant of a diversity of view points is an asset and (2) you can learn from people that have a different perspective. I'll point-out that the issue is complicated... and if you look at the RFC ( WP:RFC) related to it ( Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Jance)-- you can, perhaps, also learn something about how WP functions.

For some reason, the link still doesnt work, so I just searched for google and found it. I'm not sure what you mean by collaberation, but I have added the document as a reference to dust devil. Feel free to contact me any time, though right now I am more focussed on school than Wikipedia. - Runningonbrains 05:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the info about the pacemakers. Dailly Rubbings 00:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. As far as copying the definition from that link I don't think it would be appropriate for a couple reasons. Obviously there is the initial concern about plagiarism (the page does have a copyright) but mainly Wikipedia is not a dictionary so I think adding all of that to the disambiguation page wouldn't be proper. The good news is that the sister project wiktionary is a dictionary. What might be best for the composite materials page would be to link to the wiktionary page, this can be done by adding [[wikt:matrix|matrix]] ( matrix) rather than a normal piped link. The wiktionary page could then be improved to the desired level. I'll have a look at matrix as well, disambiguation pages aren't my specialty but if it just needs a little TLC...
Also, the tip on my user page you mentioned is actually just a template that changes every day (what excellent timing). You can add {{totd}} to your own user page if you would like it to be displayed there as well. I hope this answers your question (in a round about way) and if you ever have any other questions about wikipedia feel free to ask, I'd be happy to help if I can or at least point you in the right direction!

Copyedit from my "talk" page: "Seems we both have more than a casual interest in aviation ! I felt that I should talk with you about the edits I made & your reversions. The changes I made were with best intent; to clarify a few points for better understanding by readers less familiar with sports aviation than you or me. To the various points: The "claim" of being easy to fly. This claim was contained within brochures received by an SAAA member who sought my counsel in the late 70's. My opinion was not supportive of the claim. I suggest that later experience showed the original design, and even the later variants, to be not easy to fly. "Most popular aircraft in modern history", which I changed to "most desired, albeit unproven, light aircraft". I suggest that the most popular a/c in modern history is probably the 747; hence my qualification "light aircraft". Re "Most popular" it was probably the 'most unpopular' experimental cat. a/c among those who purchased kits; but as evidenced by the sales volume it was certainly the "most desired". Re my words "albeit unproven", the record shows that it was definitely an unproven design that was offered. Re "decidely fast" or my words "far too fast", this is mainly semantics, I think 'far too fast' gives a better understanding to the layman. Re "rewarding, if demanding', to which I added "to the pilot" because that is where the decision about any a/c being "rewarding, if demanding" lies.

I have updated the article on fire whirls. I haven't gotten into vortex dynamics, although I do intend to expand it to include such information. If you're still interested, feel free to give it a review and make any improvements as you see fit. One thing that is definitely needed is differentiating between flame vortices (small to larger scale) and whirlwinds that form without flame or even outside the fire area, since different processes are involved. I've found publications scant on fire whirls, unfortunately. Evolauxia 23:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
A knowledge of HTML isn't required for editing Wikipedia. We use our own custom wiki-markup language. Just edit the article you wish to add the image to, and include the following
[[Image:NameofImage.jpg|right|thumb|Caption]]
replacing the filename and caption accordingly in my example above. That's all there is to it. It might pay to read over Wikipedia:Image copyright tags if you wish to release your own photographs. -- Longhair\ talk 01:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Experimental vortex.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
You can now just copy and paste the following into the article. Note that the image name is case sensitive, hence .JPG is needed in this case to match your given file name.

Hi Goeffrey,
With regard to the Artificial pacemaker article, feel free to post on WP:CLINMED. It isn't an exclusive club. All comments, questions and suggestions are welcome. On cursory glance, the article looks good. Nephron T| C 07:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
re:
Regarding your suggestion that I make the changes - the material is way over my completely nominal knowlege of the subject (my only other edit was to add the x-ray image, which I found on the Commons). However, the changes to the text you suggest should not be too difficult for you to make.
First, select the article and then the tab "Edit this page". The wiki-syntax text of the entire article will be displayed in an edit box at the bottom of an image of the article. Read to find the section that you want to modify. Using the basic functions of your browser you may select and cut text and 'then click and paste to place it elsewhere as desired. New section headers are lines that begin with one or more equal signs, with text and the same number of terminating signs as, e.g, "==Section head text==" which will be rendered with a logical indent level defined by the number of "=" signs used - this also determines the font size and weight used. Alternatively, if the new section is to immediately follow its source you may edit just the one section, forming a new section at the bottom.
Regarding the illustration, I centered and widened it to accommodate the long title, but now think that it would be better to restore its original size and text and title it with "Click on image for explanation", perhaps you would like to make that change also.
Remember, preview your changes, and once you preview and wish to continue your edit do not use the back button, always perform modified edits with the new text box at the bottom of the preview page.
Feel free to ask any further questions as needed.
Best wishes, Leonard G. ( talk) 04:55, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Greetings:
I reverted your POV based deletion, since stating that the REVAi/G-Wiz is the "...top selling electric car..." is not a point of view, it is a statement of (alleged) fact. I have tagged it as requiring a reference.
Best wishes,

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ( speak to me) 12:10, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
