Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you marked Image:Gastric Bypass, Roux en-Y.jpg as being a creative commons license image, but you also said on the image's page that it was used by permission. This caused me to put the "permission" tag on it, which means it will be deleted soon unless you can document that the image was actually released under a CC license, and not a "Wikipedia has my permission to use this image" license. The latter is not allowed; we only use images here that have been released under the GFDL, have fallen into the public domain for one reason or another, or have a legitimate fair use argument. Thanks - Tempshill 22:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi--I just got round to your comments on the talk page, and I really do appreciate your last attempt. You've made a number of points more dispassionately than a number of others who attempted same, particularly re: the MAGIC decrypts. There is a reference to MAGIC in "Support then and now", which was placed there two years ago by a user who wasn't as clear and objective as to their contents. Especially since MAGIC keeps coming up, the article needs to deal with it. I'll keep your comments in mind. -- ishu 05:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

207.193.126.66 has been blocked from wikipedia, it is not a permanent block, because it is a school IP adress, it is a 6 month block. I hope there is less vandlism now. -- Drestros power 14:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Drestros power
Hey man, i'm going to rewrite the Richard I of England article and i noticed your comments on name confusion. Very good point and thanks for the heads up, it is the most awkward area of 1173-1189, darn confusing. Hopefully my version will be less baffling! -- Tefalstar 13:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
P.s. Henry II was King because of his Mother's claim. His son would have been Henry III and was crowned, but because his Father outlived him, the young Henry was never regent in his own right. That's why we know him as The Young King over here. So when the next Henry came along in the family some years later, he was called Henry III, because he ruled England alone, in his own right. Hope that's clearer! :)
According to your userpage, you're a doctor. People who are not doctors do not know medical terms and comorbidities was not wikified before so it should be. William Ortiz 04:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Topnife,
I have a question for you about an image you upload:
I disambig'ed Roux-en-Y and wrote an article about the Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Feel free to leave your mark there-- I'm sure there is room for improvement.
Take Care,

I've been researching the culture of Arabia/Islam for several years. I recently conceived a question about the practice of creating Eunuchs (based upon my surgical background). I found that the article is actually less informative than what I have already learned, particularly with respect to the nature of Eunuchs. There were actually two degrees of Eunuchism, the one mentioned in the article as "castration", meaning the removal of the testicles and scrotum. This was the lesser form practiced, but the one not mentioned, for the Eunuchs used to guard harems, for example, was the more extreme form, where the penis, testicles and scrotum were all removed, a small tube of bamboo (mentioned in the article without purpose) being inserted into the urethra, around which a scar would form, providing an outlet for urine. Such a eunuch would squat to urinate, and would obviously be no threat to the master of the harem, with regard to unwanted sexual activity, having no penis (although not ruling out pleasurable sexual stimulation of the female inmates). I also note in passing, that Eunuchism is treated with reference to many societies, from several Chinese dynasties, thru Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and Burma, while no mention of the Muslim dynasties other than the later Ottoman is included, despite these being the source of hundreds of thousands of Eunuchs from the earliest centuries of the Islamic slave trade, which was the dominant source of black slaves imported from both East and West Africa, for several centuries (before the Atlantic Slave Trade even existed). Why is that? I learned very little from this page.
