Hi Rhd, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your great edit at Iris.

Thankyou for finding the time to sign up and contribute to our little project. If you're in doubt about anything, you might want to check out some of these pages:

It's also a good idea to sign the new user log and add a little about yourself.

When contributing to a talk page, you can sign your name by typing four tildes after your comments, like this: ~~~~. Some people do not pay attention to unsigned comments. An important note: Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to me at my talk page, or at the Help desk or Village Pump.

But above all, make sure you be bold when contributing, and have fun!

[edit] Correspondance

Hi, thanks for your note. I believe, that, in theory, questions about specific articles belong on the article's Talk page, but realistically, since I sometimes edit over 100 pages per day, most of which I never revisit, any questions about my edits will more likely be seen on my Talk page. I agree that Talk pages can be chaotic, but since more experienced Wikipedians have left comments on the bottom of my Talk page (which I have now archived, so you won't see the >32K message), I believe that is the convention. Anyway, I am more than happy to answer any questions anyone has about my edits. Niteowlneils 15:33, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Virgilia

I guess the 'copyvio' comment was mostly based on the dictionary-ish structure of the original version--the '(n proper name)', etc. [or whatever it was] seemed like it might have been cut & pasted out of a dictionary or encyclopedia. The way you've split and re-worded them totally takes care of the issues I had with the original entry. Some disamb pages do have (disambiguation) as part of the title, but that's generally when one usage is largely predominant, and takes the ()-less form, such as Chicago. In this case neither seems more predominant, so the current structure I think is perfect. If it did need the "(disambiguation)", the way to do it would be to use the Move tab to move "Virgilia" to "Virgilia (disambiguation)". I did tweak the intros of the articles to be a little more standard, but otherwise, they're great entries, and I appreciate the work you've done to contribute to the project. I also created a redirect for the alternate spelling you cited for the person, so someone looking under that name will also find the article. Niteowlneils 19:16, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hi doc

Hi Rhd, you may be interested in joining WikiProject "Clinical medicine". This is were the wikidocs hang out. Your anatomical expertise is much appreciated, especially since there has been non-stop edit warring over iridology with its results spilling over into the adjacent articles. Please drop a line sometime. JFW | T@lk 22:55, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The problem with iridology was not its own article but the effect it had on many other ophthalmology articles. In fact, both the ophthalmology and histopathology articles could do with a lot of improvement. Had I only listened to my mother (who is an ophthalmic histopathologist with an interest in conjuctival melanomas). JFW | T@lk 21:28, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
