[edit] G'day!
G'day there, Robotsintrouble, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!
We've got a few pages you might find helpful, such as:
It's all best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down.
If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Wikipedia:Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh? Happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trichloroethanol image
I just wanted to let you know that I replaced your image of the chemical structure of trichloroethanol with another that I created. The structure you drew had one too many carbon atoms. Thanks for your contributions to chemistry related articles; if you're interested, we would welcome participation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals. --Ed (Edgar181) 18:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
I'm a newly registered user, so I am unfamiliar with uploading images. If I add a rationale to Image:Ffaamack.jpg and Image:Ffakkreuk.jpg, can I get rid of the disputed fair use tag? - Rts freak 07:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Can we keep it a secret between us about these images if I remove the tag? If we can't then plz don't tell anyone I suggested this otherwise I'll be hunted down and killed ;). Well thanks anyway, goodbye! Rts freak 08:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Invite to CLINMED et al.
I've noticed that you've been editing medicine related articles -- from your contributions and that your user page states you are a med student. We have a place where the medically minded people hang out: WikiProject "Clinical Medicine". You are invited to join or just browse the talk page, which is also known as the doctors' mess.
If your interests are in nephrology, radiology, GI or pre-clinical medicine-- there are projects specifically for those things.
If you're looking for info on how to do references see WP:CLINMED/Writing_medical_articles. I look forward to more of your edits. Nephron T|C 01:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is a pleasure to help people learning the stuff they need to become effective. :)
- I don't really know enough about medicine yet to join the full clinical medicine project...
- You don't need to know anything. It is just a place where the medically inclined people hang-out.
- I've seen the project sites before but haven't figured out an effective way to turn that into good contributions, as opposed to just editing my own way.
- The project sites are for coordinating edits and discussions. If there is disagreement with an editor you think is full of hooey, it is a place to recruit back-up/ask for comment. Seeing how you're a first year... based on another post-- there is an anatomy project. You might find the discussion about naming interesting... if you're in the mindst of studying anatomy.
- Two little questions: Why do some people add spaces on both sides of their headings (the ones you make with equals signs)? Does it change anything?
- The Manual of Style doesn't specify how it should be done and I don't think it matters. So, do it however you like. Nephron T|C 02:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Howdy
It's great to meet you. From your comments above, it sounds like you're as timid as I was when I first started on Wikipedia. No worries, that'll pass. :-) Happy wiki'ing, and if there's anything I can help out with, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, David Iberri (talk) 01:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Eyes
Hi there; In the UK the spelling is Hemianopia, which is to say, without the "s". I have, naturally, not touched the article. Is this a UK/USA spelling difference, of which there are a multitude?--Anthony.bradbury 22:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- It appears to be one of those.. and you are quite astute to note it, since I have now discovered that we are in need of merging several articles. See Bitemporal heminopia and Bitemporal hemianopsia! Is the spelling "Bitemporal heminopia" correct? (note the lack of an "s" and an "a" in the former article title). Robotsintrouble 22:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

- In this neck of the woods (UK) the correct spelling is "hemianopia". With an "a", without the "s". But if the US spelling is with the "s" then fine; wiki policy is to leave unaltered UK/US spelling variations. But "heminopia" is wrong everywhere. I will go and fix it.--Anthony.bradbury 23:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Right, done that. Before we start looking at merging two quite similar articles, could you please confirm that in the USA "hemianopsia" (with the s) is the correct spelling?--Anthony.bradbury 23:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've found that this may not be a USA/UK difference, though I assumed it was because I was working off a gross anatomy noteset with hemianopsia. See the following links:
http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/PublicWebsite/public_rnib003656.hcsp http://www.umassmed.edu/strokestop/glossary.html
- So it appears to simply be an alternate name in both the USA and UK, not necessarily a regional difference. Robotsintrouble 23:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

- Fair enough, and well researched. I qualified in 1968, and it may be that the usage has shifted a bit in the last 38 years!--Anthony.bradbury 20:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Limb bud creation
And now, 5 minutes later, I'm still laughing at that page's initial edit labeling it a "stub":) DMacks 20:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know what the "stub" edit designation means...it's when there's just a tiny start of an article about something, not quite fully developed or expressed into its mature form, etc. Kinda like a limb bud is to its eventual limb? Awfergeeddit, maybe I'm over-tired. DMacks 20:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Rain day
No problem, everybody's got to start somewhere, eh? In case you didn't know, there are some pretty easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions at WP:AFD (I can never remember exactly what to do, so I always find myself going back there, too). If you already knew that, no problem. See you around! Heimstern Läufer 03:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Listing
Hi,
I'd like to make some promotion for the Medicine WikiProjects again, as Nephron did before here. They're useful places where you can ask questions, as you did about the pictures of your dean. Consider listing yourself as a participant, which will allow to contact if someone needs somebody that fits a specific profile, e.g. related to medical biochemistry or something, in your case.
--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Welcome to the projects!
- If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy!

[edit] Merging metabolism
I like your efforts to try an merge to gether all these rag tag articles into something more coherent. this is something i have been meaning to attempt for a while. Feel free to ask for support or advice as your get going. Another possible idea for a template is the metabolism one based on the italian wiki. See a copy of it below. This too might be useful here in the English wikipedia. David D. (Talk) 18:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Although we do already have a metabolism template Template:Metabolism, we might be able to combine their style and content ideas. David D. (Talk) 18:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
