[edit] Kalachakra mandala on Shambhala page

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the image of the Kalachakra mandala on the Shambhala page appears to be of 'commercial quality' so to speak, as it contains some serious mistakes/omissions. For example, the orientation of the mandala is incorrect; the black/blue side should be turned to the bottom (east), and a part of the very center of the mandala is missing.

Rudy, Thanks for noticing. I know the Kalachakra it is nothing special (even for naive observer it may look beautiful). I still appreciate the work of the monk. From 'artistic-labor' perspective it is a lot of hours given the environment in Sera. When I was there I felt so much, and particularly regrets, I could not leave more from me there - for the Tibetan people. Unfortunately, most of money I spend to reach Tibet, where left in Chinese hands, but not in Tibetan people. Anyway, Tibet will always be in my heart and wait for me. Look at my other pages I put together about Tibet and Buddhism, and tell me what do you think? I plan to make many more...with time... With great sadness for Tibet and Tibetan people as well as appreciation of the past! With Compassion! regards, kosi

Which other pages did you make? rudy 22:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plantar fasciitis

Thanks for great additions to Plantar fasciitis. I thought though most of the description was on the plantar fascia itself rather than the condition of its inflammation. I have therefore moved the anatomy & biomechanics to the previous stub of an article plantar fascia.

The biomechanics section in particular refers to research, studies and measurements but fails to cite the sources for this. You clearly will have the sources for this information, so could you please add the reference/citation details to plantar fascia - if you need any help using footnotes (WP:Footnotes) or marking-up citations, then please do ask - I'm happy to help.

David,

Thanks for doing that and for your desire to help. I was planning to add references. Was looking for a easy way to display a table.
You probably removed the Magnetic section? There is plenty of evidence for its efficacy. Don't you like the subject (holistic direction)?
Let me know,
kosi
Magnetic section previously removed by User:Bitparity (this edit). That said:
  1. Much of historical background info would be better in Magnetic therapy article itself, rather than this one condition article.
  2. Comercial plug for obtaining the TheraP Magna-Dots seems inappropriate/spamming
  3. As for magnetic therapy in plantar fasciitis, there are two levels of details that need verifying - firstly if a non-trivial number of people try to treat the condition this way (needs WP:Reliable sources such as a national newspaper article) - if can be so verified then I have no problem with articles mentioning that an alternative medical technical is tried by some people. However secondly is whether or not the technique actually works - very careful citing from WP:Reliable sources is required for such controversial alternative-medicine claims in order to WP:Verify.

As for tables - see Help:Table, in essence:
{| border="1"                            If miss border parameter no separating lines
|+ Caption                               Caption is optional
|-
! Col 1 !! Col 2 !! Col 3 !! Col 4       Columns headed if use "!" instead of just "|" 
|-
! Row A                                  Rows headed again with "!" and a new line
| 1 || 2 || 3
|-
! Row B 
| 2 || 4 || 6
|-
| Row C || 3 || 6 || 9                   Rows not headed if use just pipes "|"
|-                            In essence start a new row with "|-" line and 
| Row D || 4 || 8 || 12       then a "|" before 1st cell and "||" between each subsequent cell
|}

Gives:

Caption
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4
Row A 1 2 3
Row B 2 4 6
Row C 3 6 9
Row D 4 8 12
The markup up gets more complex for merged rows & columns etc - so again just ask if need help. David Ruben Talk 17:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

D: Many thanks!/k
