Why are you changing all the matrices to boldface? That does not seem very useful.

Hi Neparis, just wanted to let you know that I moved the reference in gadolinium back from "external links" into a new "general references" section. If something is described as a reference, it means the author of the page used it in writing the article, but an external link is not. It may sound trivial, but it begins to matter when the article goes up for GA or FA and people say, "most of this article is unsourced". Thanks for formatting the other ref.

Hi there, seems that you are getting active in editing chemistry article and best wishes continued fullfillment there. Now about this afford thing. Professional chemists use the word "afford" widely because it is useful. It avoids the verb "create" which has a god-like de novo connotation and it avoids awkward applications of the words "make" or the slightly better "form," which imply human involvement.

Cleary the category is needed, but I'm not really sure where to draw the line for inclusion. My first thought is that Wikipedia has a number of definitions of a vector which aren't all related by some category or another. So I added vector (spatial), row vector, column vector, vector space, and other sundry possiblities. Then you populated the category with some other definition-related articles, and some other interesting selections like Poynting vector. I guess an inclusion-criterion might be various definitions of vectors and vector-like objects, and particular vectors that are of importance to mathematics and physics. Perahps this is too broad?

I know the guidelines (although it was perfectly fair for you to point them out). Sometimes removing the red links is just the best way to find out if anyone else currently thinks they're seriously plausible topics for future articles. (And no, I didn't reply on my own page. I think watching someone else's talk page in case they choose to respond is inefficient. Likewise, I don't think it's useful for me to watch somebody else's talk page on the chance that they might feel like replying to me.) Wryspy ( talk) 02:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on XAD (resins), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Dear Neparis,
Yes I came across it while studying for my medical board exams in Kaplan USMLE Steps 2 and 3 Notes: Internal Medicine, Hematology, pages 176-177. Author: Dr. Conrad Fischer, MD, Assoc Program Director, Internal Medicine, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences Center at Brooklyn, Brooklyn New York. Edition 2007. Kaplan Medical.
I was surprised since I always connect Basophillic stip. with Pb poisoning. However, in Vit B12 and Folate def, you'll also see hypersegmented neutrophils.
Anyways, thanks for the message and back to the books for me.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader,
geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at
geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!
The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. |

Cleary the category is needed, but I'm not really sure where to draw the line for inclusion. My first thought is that Wikipedia has a number of definitions of a vector which aren't all related by some category or another. So I added vector (spatial), row vector, column vector, vector space, and other sundry possiblities. Then you populated the category with some other definition-related articles, and some other interesting selections like Poynting vector. I guess an inclusion-criterion might be various definitions of vectors and vector-like objects, and particular vectors that are of importance to mathematics and physics. Perahps this is too broad?

I know the guidelines (although it was perfectly fair for you to point them out). Sometimes removing the red links is just the best way to find out if anyone else currently thinks they're seriously plausible topics for future articles. (And no, I didn't reply on my own page. I think watching someone else's talk page in case they choose to respond is inefficient. Likewise, I don't think it's useful for me to watch somebody else's talk page on the chance that they might feel like replying to me.) Wryspy ( talk) 02:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on XAD (resins), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Dear Neparis,
Yes I came across it while studying for my medical board exams in Kaplan USMLE Steps 2 and 3 Notes: Internal Medicine, Hematology, pages 176-177. Author: Dr. Conrad Fischer, MD, Assoc Program Director, Internal Medicine, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences Center at Brooklyn, Brooklyn New York. Edition 2007. Kaplan Medical.
I was surprised since I always connect Basophillic stip. with Pb poisoning. However, in Vit B12 and Folate def, you'll also see hypersegmented neutrophils.
Anyways, thanks for the message and back to the books for me.
Cheers,

The huge set of unreferenced articles from June of 2006 is finally completed. Thank you for your contributions. The new focus at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles is Category:Articles lacking sources from July 2006 which as of May 28 is only 1,322 articles and should go much quicker.

Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.
Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader,
geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at
geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!
The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.
Thank You, Sam4bc ( talk) 17:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Hello, just to let you know I have had a warning about vandalism from you dated 8th February. I haven't done any vandalism, but this keeps happening for some reason.

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. |
