Welcome!
Hello, Killdec, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Bank of England. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Again it's you that's wrong about U.S. Foreign Policy. The goal of the Mujahadeen was to expel the Soviets from their country. The US merely saw this as an opportunity "to create a "Vietnam" for the USSR." That doesn't mean we created the Mujahadeen. It also doesn't mean we created the Taliban and Al-Qaida simply because some people who joined the Mujahadeen later became part of the other organizations. That'd be like saying that if you support the Boy Scouts of America you also support the Hitler Youth, because a few dumb ones get suckered into neo-Nazi politics. And Ron Paul does NOT tell it like it is, He doesn't know his ass from a hole in the wall when it comes to foreign policy. ---- DanTD ( talk) 05:02, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
No worries, it's always a pleasure to copyedit well-sourced additions. Good work yourself!
If you're ever up for a challenge, Mutant needs a lot of work...

You are listed in the Category:WikiProject Sociology members, probably due to the use of "This user is a member of WikiProject Sociology" userbox, but you have not added yourself to our official member list. This prevent you from, among other things, receiving our sociology newsletter, as it acts as our newsletter mailing list (you can find the latest issue of our sociology newsletter here). If you'd like to receive the newsletter and help us figure out how many members we really have, please consider adding yourself to the official member list. Thank you, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 12:51, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Your edits to aspartame controversy and related discussions crossed a line with assumptions of bad faith, accusations of others' violating Wikipedia policy without any substantial evidence to back up your claims, and so on. I have blocked you for 31 hours. If you wish, you ay contest your block by using the {{ unblock}} template; please read the advice at WP:GAB before doing so. Please consider this a warning—next time you engage in such disruptive behavior, the block won't be nearly as short. NW ( Talk) 01:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Killdec,
Your talkpage was still on my watchlist following our conversation above, and seeing the flurry of 41 edits here in one day, I thought I'd see what was up. It's a bit sad to see you blocked, as you seemed like a sensible sort when when I first came across you at Genetic code. If you want to talk to someone uninvolved, well, I'm still watching this page.

p.s. When Georgewilliamherbert pointed you to WP:SANDBOX, I presume he meant WP:SOAPBOX.
Hi. Once the author has removed the prod tag from this article you're not supposed to put it back. I've moved it to AfD and you're most welcome to !vote there andy ( talk) 23:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Jmpunit ( talk) 00:38, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Killdec, I am simply an editor who thinks some of the immunology articles on Wikipedia are far from complete and the quality can be easily improved. I'd love to do it all by myself, but it'd be even better to do it in a team, to be more efficient as well as to get a wider viewpoints (from the medical, molecular and cellular viewpoints for example). If you are interested, please go to here and just start editing. The purpose of the page (it's a new page) is simply to get everyone together and collaborate, as to ensure there's editors for different topics. I look forward to working with you soon, any help would be greatly appreciated. Kinkreet ~♥moshi moshi♥~ 01:03, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
The first edition of The Pulse has been released. The Pulse will be a regular newsletter documenting the goings-on at WPMED, including ongoing collaborations, discussions, articles, and each edition will have a special focus. That newsletter is here.
The newsletter has been sent to the talk pages of WP:MED members bearing the {{ User WPMed}} template. To opt-out, please leave a message here or simply remove your name from the mailing list. Because this is the first issue, we are still finding out feet. Things like the layout and content may change in subsequent editions. Please let us know what you think, and if you have any ideas for the future, by leaving a message here.

Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce
This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you * sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've ( CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as
Dutch,
Polish, and
Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not
MEDRS (
Polish,
German,
Romanian,
Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]
