[edit] Water-related stuff, e.g. Shallow water blackout

I removed the template as the article is up to A+ standards. Good work on Wiki, your edits are really beneficial. Ksenon 14:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asphyxia through hypobaric, Altitude, conditions

Hello and thank you!. Very interesting suggestion. It will however take some research since i'm not familiar with the biological mechanism that causes unconsciousness under hypobaric conditions. It will have to classify as asphyxia (aka. an overall reduction in oxygen in the body) to be included in the article. Unconsciousness due to acceleration, does not for instance count as asphyxia if we use that definition. But i'll see what I can do! ---Marcus- 08:20, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion

I noticed that you tagged the page WAP (disambiguation) for speedy deletion with the reason "adds no value and is misleading". However, "adds no value and is misleading" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 11:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

  • No probs, I've now used a AfD and it looks like its on the way out anyway Ex nihil 03:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Therapeutic horseback riding and Great Strides Therapeutic Riding, Inc.

I saw your comments about Great Strides Therapeutic Riding, Inc. Could you please take a look at the articles Therapeutic horseback riding and North American Riding for the Handicapped Association and make any changes or additions that you think appropriate? TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 05:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Therapeutic Riding is just fine, I couldn't improve on it and don't know the subject. I think the comment you referred to was probably deleted after I read these. The problem is only with GSTR, if GSTR has additonmal information this should sit in THR. Ex nihil 06:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SWB3 temp.jpg

Hi. Nice pic. On Talk:Drowning the question came up if the image is staged (I assumed so). Could you please clarify, preferably also on the image page. Many thanks! -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Image is staged I am happy to say as it is my daughter. Ex nihil 08:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Agree, User:FoxSportsRadio smells like a troublemaker or at least needs a lot of info about copyrights. I found the sources for two images Image:Drowning 1st.jpg and Image:Drowning 2nd.jpg and added them to the image pages. They are copyrighted by the french red cross. -- Chris 73 | Talk 08:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disambiguation pages

hey, i randomly picked a user from the list of disambiguators, so i hope you don't mind answering my question. i've got a spot where i need to create a disamb. page, but in my searching i can only find out how to FIX disamb. pages, not create them. can you point me in the right direction? cheers! Murderbike 21:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry not to reply earlier, Murderbike. I am working in Dili, Timor Leste on an Australian capacity building project and getting reliable enough bandwidth on the internet to continue things like Wiki is very, very trying. There is a template for disambiguation but I can't get around the Wiki site fast enough to find it for you, just open a good example in edit mode and cut and paste the template with suitable changes.

[edit] Drowning

Hi. I have no problem with the image being staged, and it illustrates the situation very well. Also, the image has a proper license. What i am concerned with are the 4 other images with unsuitable free-use license added by another editor. Sorry for the misunderstanding --. Chris 73 | Talk 07:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ex Nihil, regarding those comments about "vandalism" about the reversed image, what's the difference. There has been a great deal of controversy over the image, and even if this doesn't totally help, this is meant to give a new angle to the drowning staging. It is not vandalism. Catherine Woods 02:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, Catherine Woods. I took the picture to try to show people exactly what a victim of SWB looks like. Floating on the ceiling doesn't really convey the right image of what's happening. I appreciate your interest in the article but I would be really, really grateful if you could let it rest. Apart from anything else I am here in Dili, Timor Leste on an aid project and my internet bandwidth and access is extremely limited and unreliable. I am not able to cope with a lot of activity on my principal pages until I get back to Australia, it's about as much as I can do to download my watchlist and it's kind of stressful. I guess if the picture is going to get adjusted we'll just have to pull it but I think it's useful and it balances of the other one in deep water blackout. The picture is also there with the permission of the lady who helped me stage it, and I need to keep her happy that the image is being used as it was originally intended. Please help me to do that. Ex nihil 02:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I like the new caption a lot better. Cheers! Jzerocsk 16:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cut and paste moves

I just noticed your edits to Wireless Application Protocol and WAP. It is very important that we keep the edit history for an article in one place and don't split it across multiple pages. When people contribute content to Wikipedia they retain copyright on their contributions so it is important that we can see who contributed what. By copying and pasting content from one place to another, you make the edit history less clear.

I've fixed the edit history on that article, but in future if you want to move an article either use the "Move this page" function or if that is not available please ask an Administrator.

Thank you. AlistairMcMillan 05:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

  • OK, no probs, thank you for pointing that out. Ex nihil 08:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
