Hi Huji - I see you are busy working on systematic review etc. I reckon some sort of link is needed between meta-analysis and systematic review. You do or I do? --Hugh2414 16:24, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] To boldly go...
It was very good of you to prepare a draft on talk:dilated cardiomyopathy, but I think it could just as well have gone into the article space. The stub sitting there at the moment is not satisfactory.
I was thinking of moving the content myself, but as you wrote it you might as well move it. Be bold is an important Wikipedia policy :-) JFW | T@lk 18:24, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- How I noticed the page? Goodness, I can't remember. It may be that dilated cardiomyopathy was on my Watchlist; in that case, edits to the talk page also show up. Alternatively, I may have seen your message on someone else's talk page (it could have been Ksheka's. Anyway, I'll see if I can add anything to your fine new creation!

[edit] Correct PKL?
I don't call it the CORRECT PKL. I'm ashamed of seeing my country's Standard Institute suggesting a CORRECTed PKL, without following the basic concept of typists ease of typing!

- Hi!
- For software to customize your keyboard see here.
- I think you will change your mind once you spend some time with the "standard" keyboard. It actually works great.

[edit] Decimal separator
Hi Huji, I was reading the article Decimal separator and noticed some countries with sizeable populations not listed in the sections ¨Dot countries¨ and ¨Comma countries¨ including Iran. So I thought I´d look up an Iranian Wikipedian and suggest that you add Iran to which-ever category it belongs. Thanks, AussieDingo83 08:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hello again. Thank you for your help. Hopefully there will be some feedback and the article can be made more complete. P.S. The way I found you was the page Category:Iranian Wikipedians (this is an internal link, I just couldn´t get the link to work properly), which you were automatically added to due to your ¨This user comes from Iran¨ userbox. These automatic categories created by userboxes are a great way to find people that might know something about a particular subject matter, such as countries, languages, certain TV shows or movies, history, science, religion, etc. This is a great argument for these handy little things that some people seem intent on getting rid of. Anyway thanks again. AussieDingo83 03:23, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Decimal separator
Hi Huji,
The reason I removed the stub tag is that the article looked too long to be a stub to me. However, I understand your point concerning Arabic and Persian languages. In such cases it is often best to create a section about this certain sub-topic and then mark it as a section stub. But, I guess with this article that won't be possible, since the article isn't split up by languages. So, if you feel, that it would be appropriate to mark it as a stub, go ahead. By the way: it is better to use {{math-stub}} or something even more specific than the generic {{stub}}.--CarabinieriTTaallkk 19:43, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup processes
Hi, and thanks for offering your help.
- No you don't have to be an admin to participate in Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion, but you should have an understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
- You can find open tasks here, or here or you can have SuggestBot suggest pages for you to improve.
- I don't know whether you must be an admin if you want to join the cleaning department, but feel free to ask them on their talk page. --Zoz (t) 17:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I agree with what Zoz said. I'm not an admin. My understanding of Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion is that anyone can vote on a proposed deletion. I don't know anything about the "Cleaning department", actually I had never heard of it before your message on my talk page. Perusing their project page, it does seem that for at least some of the tasks they are talking about you do have to be an admin. However, you may wish to help out at the Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce. That is quite different from the "Cleaning department". As I understand it, the "Cleanup Taskforce" deals with, essentially, editing articles for style, spelling, grammar, and factual accuracy. That does not require you to be an admin. --Mathew5000 22:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How can I help more?
Beland, I'd like to get more involved in Wikipedia, and I'm interested in maintenance tasks. But I've never done them before, and the help section pages have confused me rather than showing me where to start. I'd be glad if you can offer some guidance. huji—TALK 10:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- I notice that you have a physician userbox; you may be particularly interested in the new "maintainence by topic" pages, specifically Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Health science. This is a consolidated list of health-related articles with various problems. Basically, you can start here to find articles you might be interested in that need improvement. If you improve an article enough to fix the problem indicated, you can remove the cleanup tag from that article. (There's a short list of cleanup tags at Wikipedia:Cleanup resources.) If not, you can leave it for future editors. You can also apply a more specific tag, which is sometimes helpful. There are sometimes hints about why someone added a tag in the edit summary they left in the article history, or sometimes they leave notes on the article's talk page. If you remove a tag from a health-related article, it will disappear from the listing the next time it is updated. (Which may take a few weeks, but you don't have to worry about keeping the list updated yourself.) Category:Articles that need to be wikified has good instructions on how to wikify if you haven't done that before. It also has thousands of backlogged articles to be wikified that are sorted by date and not by topic (if you are interested in helping with the massive wikification drive which is currently ongoing). The only other important term which may be unfamilar is "stub". This is simply a descriptor for short articles; once they get a little longer, the stub tag can be removed or possibly replaced with an {{expand}} tag for a particular section. Good luck and thanks for your interest! -- Beland 02:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About Category:User_templates
Hello Huji...Every once in a while you might want to go there and check to make sure that it stays clear of user pages. Other than that, it should be okay. It is clear for now. Thanks for the offer!

[edit] about "Category:EBM"
Hi, Huji, and thank you for invited me to write something on EBM. I am glad if I can contribute some items to wikipedia. I started learning EBM in the last decade and I really like it.
I saw there is a discussion on if we should merge “Category:EBM” into “Category:Medical informatics”. From my point of view, I prefer we have an individual category for EBM. Now, in this category, there is only four items. But I think later we will see more because EBM is a exciting field.
I don't want to make my timetable too messy, So, if I have time I will add something to this category. Good luck to you. User:Ph.eyes—TALK 7:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Two Articles in need of your attention
There are two entries at Wikipedia, which have falsely created -- they are Turco-Persian and Turko-Persian Tradition. Both entries are factitious. I have requested the entries to be deleted. My reasons are:
- The term Turko-Persian Tradition (or Turco-Persian) does not exists academically and it is a factitious entry! Check the Encyclopaedia Iranica to confirm -- The correct name for that culture is the Persianate culture not the "Turko-Persian". Turkophones (mostly of mixed race and Persianized in culture) only spoke in Turkic dialects and were in the military. That is not enough participation in creating and forming the culture to deserve the name "Turko-Persian Tradition" – This is misinformation. All the elements in that area, which have to do with tradition and culture, were drawn from the Iranian culture (Persian, Kurdish, Azari, Baluchi, Tajik, Luri, Gilaki, Talishi, Mazandarani, etc.), and the Islamic faith, not much Turkic elements (like shamanism, yurts etc.) were incorporated in. That is what makes the name "Turko-Persian" an imaginary one and therefore the entry should be deleted.
Any contributions would greatly appreciated. Bā Sepās Surena 02:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TrayLayout
Hi. We don't have the source code of TrayLayout, nor we have any rights to reverse-engineer it I guess. If you put it somewhere else, I'll be happy to link to it. —behdad (talk) 09:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AWB
Will AWB support right to left languages like Arabic or Persian? huji—TALK 18:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- It should, as far as I know. Try it out, and let me know :-) —Mets501 (talk) 19:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I checked it out. These wikis are not listed on the Language dropdown: fa, ar, he. I'm afraid no check pages are available on those wikis as well. I'm thinking of extending AWB's source code to be usable for Farsi wikipedia. I've downloaded the source code. Any recommendations? huji—TALK 07:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Teacher's Day in Iran
- Hi, this is Bahar from the Turkish Wikipedia. I've been translating the article Teacher's Day into Turkish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teachers%27_Day#Iran Here at the end for Iran it writes commemorating the ai on May 2, 1980; but it's not specified what or who ai is. If you can help, it would be great. Thank you for sparing your time. You may find me on my Turkish talk page. --Bahar (Spring in Turkish) ✍ 08:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would like to thank you for doing my favor. So in Iran Teachers' Day is celebrated on May 2 while Morteza Motahhari died on May 1 or that is stated by mistake I believe. My name Bahar is a Farsi originated word but is concordant with the 2 rules in the Turkish language for a word to be Turkish but the sound 'ha' doesn't originally exist in Turkish. You may ask help from me about Turkish (Wikipedia). Happy editing, tr:Kullanıcı_mesaj:Bahar101, --Bahar (Spring in Turkish) ✍ 17:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC) Oh, before I leave I wondered whether there are any Iranian biographies you would like me to add to the Turkish Wikipedia who you think that everybody must get to know him. From my user's page you may look at what articles I've first started in an alphabetical order, which mostly contains biographies. I will add Morteza Motahhari for sure. You may find the Iranian people's category here: tr:Kategori:İranlılar
[edit] Someone please help me
I'm unsure if a photo taken from a paper bill can be published on wikipedia or not (for example to show how a £2 bill looks like.)
- While it may not be copyrighted as it is a government work, (not positive this applies to UK, try asking on the help desk), it may violate counterfeiting laws. Find the relevant webpage of the UK government that deals with counterfeiting. There will proably be restrictions on size and color for reproduction, even digital. Sorry if this isn't very helpful. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 22:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you for the reply. I wasn't actually addressing a UK bill. I gave that as an example, and to ensure I'm not going to get the same answer I would get for a US bill (for which I know the copyright restrictions.) I wanted to know if there are any concerns except for the local rules of the country of interest, which should be met. Thanks again. huji—TALK 22:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
