[edit] RC patrol
Hi, I just noticed this revert - I think the user is correctly cleaning up a number of AfD tags after the AfD noms had been withdrawn. AvB ÷ talk 23:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Okay; thanks for pointing that out. I'll post a message on the user's talk page. Sorry about that. joturner 23:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Email
FYI, I've sent you an email. JoshuaZ 03:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, resent then. JoshuaZ 21:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

- I've removed the warning. I'm sorry I took your well-intended edit for an experiment. You can revert to your version if you want to, or discuss your change on the TA Spring talk page. AvB ÷ talk 07:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shaken baby syndrome
Thanks for restoring back the article to a properly footnoted system and including the additional edits. I was pretty annoyed after all my hard work fixing the citation/footnotes to have it reverted and the anon user instruct me on my talk page to leave the article alone. I had reverted back once (which was instantly re-reverted), but as I generally try to follow 1RR, I thought it then best to see if other editors might join in the discussion. Hopefully the additional comments by JDW on their talk page plus Alteripse and your involvement will help encourage the anon to accept there there are common approaches taken to citating, and of the need to work in collaboration with other editors rather than trying to "own" articles. David Ruben Talk 23:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
David Ruben has accused me of owning the Shaken Baby article. I was upset as to how he was restructuring the footnotes yesterday. I took great pains to keep them in a medical/scientific format and looking profesional. He was color coding and making the page look like a Christmas tree including the references. In addition, to adding extra junk into in the citations. I would not have objected to the change in reference listings, except the format and the information does not need to be changed. I tried to take out one of the color changes and totaly screwed up the references and reverted to an older page to keep the page from being screwed up.
I see that he has removed all of the references for Dr, Viera Scheibner, including a quote from her paper "All examples of what Caffey considered "typical battered baby" fractures and periosteal bleedings in his papers, are in fact typical scurvy fractures and bleedings." Her paper reviewed all of Caffey's papers and additional papers and studies. Caffey even has acknowledged that scurvy was found in his first six cases that had fractures and subdural hemotomas. Apparently he was not educated as to the signs of scurvy and did not attempt to educate himself. His ignorance concerning scurvy and others is no reason to delete this information that has been medically and scientificaly documented for for close to 90 years from this page. All the Shaken Baby Syndrome has been based on in Caffey's own words is a "theory" and "a variety of circumstances."
David also deleted the reference for the Ommaya study (1968)in conjunction with the US Department of Trnsporation. I posted a link to Pub Med and the citation for the journal article, as numerous scientic articles that are posted on line, for validation. He has also delected the "and lactose intolerance" for the 2nd time. Some one else put it back and he deleted again; this needs to be listed.

[edit] Shaken Baby
Is there any way to ask David for the 2nd time not to change the format of the references? PLEASE I sent him the following note:
May I ask why you are changing the references and moving the years? Apparently you have no idea what the proper format is for medical and scientific refences. Other pages posted on Wikipedia have the correct format and the format that I posted. Why don't you go to the medical library or look at other medical papers available on the internet or the papers that I have posted to see the correct format.
Thank you 70.171.229.32 07:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- My original attempt at editing the article was to move the non-associated full citations from the manually mantained reference section, to the coresponding points in the article where inline links occured. As far as I can tell, this did not involve removing any of the citations already present - see edit history. The only External link to move was that of (Oral 2003) which was placed in the Signs and symptoms section at its previous first mention as a Harvard link (anyway Harvard links are supposed to refer to an entry in a Reference section not an External link). On looking at the edit difference, in the Prevention section "lactose intolerance" indeed got accidentally left out of the displayed text, but only because it was placed inside the opening < ref > tag for its reference:
- Hence had : <ref>"Lactose Intolerance," Better Health Channel, Victorian Government, Australia [http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/BHCV2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Lactose_intolerance?OpenDocument "Lactose Intolerance"]</ref>
- Instead of: Lactose Intolerance<ref>Better Health Channel, Victorian Government, Australia [http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/BHCV2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Lactose_intolerance?OpenDocument "Lactose Intolerance"]</ref>
- As for correct location of years within a citation, Template:cite journal is not my creation, and other articles are not "incorrect" for using it. Please also see User talk:70.171.229.32 for some further comments I made. David Ruben Talk 00:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- User 70.171.229.32 was editing in good faith but responded badly to being reverted and criticized. S/he complained to several (mostly uninvolved) users. I think JFW's response was rather appropriate. AvB ÷ talk 09:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prostatitis ext links
I notice that you have edited the Prostatitis page previously. I have been engaged in a discussion on the external links with User:Skoppensboer at Talk:Prostatitis#Links removed and replaced. I would just appreciate another pair of eyes looking at the issues. I think I'm ready to back off on this, but I'm not sure if I should. TIA, -- Mwanner | Talk 22:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Concordia Newsletter
NEWSLETTER
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
[edit] Help out now!
- Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
- Give people the Civility Barnstar.
- Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
- Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
- Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
[edit] Decision Making
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
