Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for stopping by and helping with Osteochondritis Dissecans. I saw the Diagnosis had changed while looking over the article this morning and checked edit history. I just wanted to let you know that I am attempting to move the OCD article to Good Article status in the coming months as part of my AP Biology Class's WikiProject - Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008. If you want to learn more then please stop by my user page or my class's WikiProject page and take a look! Cheers! --FoodPuma (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah yes I cannot login there with my wikipedia login... --WS (talk) 16:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

You can create a new account on Commons and since recently you only have to sign into one project owing to WP:SUL. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 19:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice, I already used the single user login but I thought that it was only for other language wikipedias :-) --WS (talk) 22:12, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Osteochondritis dissecans

"Dr. Smillie believes" was simply an intro to the information presented and conclusion of Dr. Smillie's study on patients with Osteochondritis Dissecans. Would you mind if we work together to reword this and reinsert the information? Thanks for taking the time to look over the article though, gald to know people are checking over my work! Cheers! Food_Puma 22:53, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

At the very least it needs to be reworded as these four sentences were word for word taken from the used reference. Also it is better to reference to a book itself rather than to a review of it. And one doctor believing something is not something that should be in an encyclopedic article, unless there is wider consensus about his beliefs. Aside from these points, if dr Smillie (who is he? no wikilink, no explanation) believed something in 1960, then there probably is some evidence if it is true or not by now. So without better, preferably more recent, references I don't think it should be reinserted. --WS (talk) 10:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Back to the mills it is! I shall see to it that "Causes" is expanded this weekend with more credible information. Food_Puma 10:57, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I thought images taken from published medical journals were Creative Commons license. Every other medical image I've found that came from a journal found on pubmed used Creative Commons 2.0 without any special acknowledgments or permissions. Also, the image for the infobox image has permission, I've forwarded a copy of the email I received granting permission to use the selected material on to OTRS. Food_Puma 20:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Copyright policies differ per journal, but most of the articles and images are unfortunately not licensed under the CC license. Of course if the copyright holder gave permission to use an image that image can be used, and the permission should be noted on the image' page. --WS (talk) 20:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! I will see if I can't find a way to contact them and ask for permission. On a side note, since I am not familiar with copyright laws, if the information at the bottom of a page says (for example) "© 2000 - 2007", than may I use their photos without asking for permission? In other words, has their copyright on the information expired and that image is now free to use? I goggled this query but did not return any definite answers. Food_Puma 21:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

No that does not mean the copyright has expired. I am no copyright expert either but I think that means it was initially copyrighted sometime during that interval. It takes a very long time for copyright to expire (typically something like 50-70 years depending on the material and local laws). --WS (talk) 21:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

See also Wikipedia:Copyright_assistance and for questions about specific content to be used Wikipedia:Media copyright questions --WS (talk) 21:31, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for those links, they sure do clear up some of that confusion! If you would be kind enough to check back on Osteochondritis dissecans and see how it looks (when you get the time). Also, if I could get your thoughts on the legitimacy of my use of the image found in {{infobox_disease}}. I believed it was property of the U.S. Federal Government as it was from Walter Reed Army Medical Center (Army is part of the Department of Defense and even has it's own option for licensing on wiki commons). If this is not true, and I violated their copyright please tell me right away! I truly believed I was in the right this time, but I want to make sure! Thank you! :-) Food_Puma 20:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Heh

I had no idea you were an administrator. You learn something new everyday :) —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 13:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, there appears to one small typo in the WPMED template regarding the neurology section. The sentence that says:

"This article has been rated as low-importance by the neurology task force"

Has to have a capital N at the beginning of neurology task force, otherwise it shows up as a redlink. Any chance you could fix it? Thanks :)

why be afraid? Pectus can cause severe heart and lung impairment? Who will help?????????????

I have seen multiple doctors over the years and have been miss diagnosed with the issues arising from Pectus Excavatum!!!!!!!!!! I am angry Doctors and surgeons have put me here and insurance does not pay unless you are in immediate distress and basically dieing at least that is what i have been told!!!!!! Please someone give me hope!!!!!!!!plus they only seem to use reports on children and not really adults,when there is clearly documentation that says it gets worse (in some) as we age,expecially in puberty! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.76.53 (talk) 05:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Pharmacologic categorization

I have started a discussion of categorizing pharmacology articles at WT:PHARM:CAT and would really appreciate your input. Also, could you please pass word of this discussion to any other editors you think might consider contribution to the conversation? kilbad (talk) 05:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Osteitis fibrosa cystica could use your help!

Strombollii from the Wikipedia:WikiProject AP Biology 2008 could really use your help on his current project: Osteitis fibrosa cystica. He has had trouble finding suitable information (in both verifiability and quantity) for the topic and is relatively unfamiliar to the style and formating for medicine articles on Wikipedia. As a friend, I told him I would gladly message those who I respected as fellow wiki-editors and who I believed could add to his medicine related article. You, of course (from your help and critizim in Osteochondritis dissecans), were one of my choices. So if you can spare the time, I am sure your help would be much appreciated. Again, thank you for your own help in my article... without you and several other editors, I would have never made GA. Cheers! Food_Puma 23:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Osteochondritis dissecans ready for FA?

I am at a loss for how to improve the article as it stands. Recently my edits have mainly been focusing on minor copyediting, and at this point I feel as though it's time to jump the cliff and hope for the best. I was advised by my teacher (JimmyButler to wait until my diagram images have passed OTRS verification. At that point, would you support a move for FA?

diverticulosis

Hello I wonder if we can find common ground over the article on diverticulosis which I had changed ( this is my first foray into Wikepedia) . I have worked as a clinical gastro-enterologist on divericlosis all my professional life both in the clinics and in the lab. I felt that the previous and now restored article did not reflect the complexity of the subject. I was sorry to see that my revison was shifted off. Can we communicate.

PVPS

Hi Wouterstomp,

PVPS is an acronym for Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. It is not clear why you moved the article to Post-vasectomy pain syndrome. I would like to move it back if that's alright with you.

With best wishes, Giancoli (talk) 03:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

See my response on your talk page. --WS (talk) 07:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Wouterstomp,

Thank you for posting a reply. I understand now why you changed the title. However, the wikipedia guidelines state that proper nouns and names that would be capitalized in running text should be capitalized in the title. Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome is a proper noun like Northwestern University and it is capitalized in running text. If you don't mind, I would like to revert to the original title for this reason.
