A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.
Please consider taking our survey here.
This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.
We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

I just came across this committee, after finding a well-referenced article, with 53KB overall and 38KB prose, tagged with a big ugly tag on the article page. I saw your name there. Does that committee know how to calculate prose size, realize that the technical limitations are old, and understand that citing requirements have changed since the old 30KB limit? If they are going to be tagging everything over 32KB, that would probably be most FAs. It seems a very misguided effort to be tagging articles that have 38KB prose - I wish they'd go calculate the prose size on History of Russia or Hugo Chávez, and focus on those, rather than an article with 38KB prose ( Psycho (1960 film)). Mostly, I hope they understand how to calculate prose size, and realize that keeping a well-referenced, comprehensive FA-quality article below 32KB would compromise quality.

Bainer, I don't know what your issue is taking sides here. I feel that I have already dispelled the argument that OSNews is unreliable because user-submitted. It is, in fact, peer-reviewed, and the author of the article has written 28 reviews for the site. All of this is in the second AfD nomination.

Hiya, i'm looking to start working on the SexSel article again, i'd like to add examples of the process working in plants. If you have any examples or references please let me know.

In most instances I'm content to get a page up to GA level. In the case of the above mentioned article, I was going to see if I could bring the Supernova page up to FA level (with the history at GA). — RJH ( talk) 15:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
What's with this no jacket required / quit business? If the east coast's anything like here, full winter outfit required. Maybe take a wikibreak and relax away from the Christmas frenzy, have a guid Hogmanay. ... dave souza, talk 22:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd like this article to keep its star, and it's not in such bad shape, but this isn't really my area and I doubt I'll have time to give it justice within the FAR time limits, especially since I'm going out of town for the holidays this weekend. I suspect you're much more knowledgeable about this field than I am, and Aranae had some useful comments on improving and updating it - wondering if you had any plans for or interest in this?

Hiya, i'm looking to start working on the SexSel article again, i'd like to add examples of the process working in plants. If you have any examples or references please let me know. Also, in the articles discussion I hacked out some of the proofs and models on geometric progression. It's very rough, if you have any input let me know, I think if it can be presented in an articulate way its worth being in the main article. -- Mike Spenard 05:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. Influenza is going to be on the main page on Jan 1st, could you semi or fully-protect its images and templates before then? Thanks! TimVickers 15:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
