[edit] Just a heads up

I just wanted to let you know that I had to revert your edits to the Userboxes page. It wasn't entirely relevant ot the subject matter. – ClockworkSoul 18:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: edit to Template talk:User mental health consumer

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users." Please keep this is mind while editing. Thanks,Sorry, I shouldn't have posted that. You didn't attack anyone personally.

I'll assume that someone else got hold of your account. I think you'd better remove it, and protect your account more closely in future Herostratus 19:44, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Publunch, Thank you very much for being civil, but: wrong answer. This is the first thing I've seen on Wikipedia that actually made me angry. Co<ngratulations. Your comments were extremely and egregiously insulting. You apparently are unable to understand why the term "LOONY" is insulting, and I do not have time to teach you enough about this subject for you to understand why this so. If you are truly interested in becoming an informed commentator on the subject, there are many resources, such as the village pump or a library.

Your userpage does not link to this template. I therefore especially question why you wish to make extended comments on the subject.

You did say that you changed the first sentence, but you didn't, presumably an oversite. I have removed your entire edit. You may restore it if you wish. I don't think that you should.

Your refusal to delete your comments would, in my opinion, justify a second formal warning. I have not done this.

You are of course free to edit the template yourself, if you wish. Since you do not link to it, one might question your motivation if you did so. You are also free to nominate the template for deletion.

Cheers, Herostratus 21:34, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Publunch, sorry about being so icy-cold and nasty. I don't take back that I think your post was not-so-good, but I was being way too mean, and I was out of line. I'm not quite myself, I'm asjusting my meds (seriously). OK, I do totally see what you're saying, "mental health consumer" -- that does sound kind of over-the-top PC, and WTF does it mean anyways?

I think the person who made the template, first they made they template for "mental health provider", and yeah while no one can really provide mental health, it just means psychiatrist, psychologist, whatever, it's a pretty standard designation, at least in the USA. So then, they made a template for people who use the services of a mental health provider, and I guess they figured provider / consumer, you know?

LOL about your one comment -- yeah we've all got ex-girlfriends who could consume the mental health of everyone in the room just when they start in to talk...

Anyway, yeah, maybe it should say something different, you know? I dunno what, though. I don't think user is any better, really.

And yeah, loony, whatever... I would have no problem with a seperate template that says This user is stark raving loony, but if this one were to be changed, it should still be pretty formal and all... I mean, my brother-in-law has schizophrenia, and it's no day in the park, believe me. I think if you tried calling him a loony he might get mighty upset. For all I know he might even use the term among his fellow-patients, but it's just like gay people call each other "queer" and black people call each other "nigger" sometimes, but if you're NOT one and you try doing that... watch out!

Yeah and "health" is difficult to define in terms of "mental health", but if you've ever had a loved one who is compulsive or psychotic or was a suicide or whatever, you know it when you don't see it.

Anyway, sorry for getting all pissy on you and making a tempest in a teapot, I see that you have made many useful contributions here, and that's what counts, and it's appreciated. Friends, or at least not enemies, I hope? Herostratus 10:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Paroxetine tablets.png

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Paroxetine tablets.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] New Wiki

Hi Publunch, I hope all's well with you, not seen you for a while... I stopped by because I'm looking for people who might be interested in a new wiki I'm working on. It's for people with depression, and I hope it's going to be a real resource for everyone affected by the condition - there is a lot of work to do before it's at that stage though :) It's over at Wikicities, Jimbo and Angela's wiki hosting project. I'd love it if you would take part (and can bribe you with instant adminship over there ;) The url is http://depression.wikicities.com and it would be great to see you there. *patpat* to Muddypaws too, best wishes -- sannse (talk) 11:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology

Don't be a jerk. Walking into an article and introducing yourself with, "this article sucks..." isn't going to win other editors over, and wikipedia is about collaboration. -Smahoney 00:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trickle up effect

Do you have any sources that show use of this phrase consistent with the article? Gazpacho 02:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Osteopath disambguation

I agree that it needs disambiguating, but there is already an Osteopathy (disambiguation) page, perhaps the two should be merged? Also, what do you think should be done about the pages that currently link to osteopath? Just throwing my opinion in... --User24 02:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

ok, cool good idea, I've added the old links from Osteopath to Osteopathy (disambiguation) --User24 03:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I changed the redirect on Osteopath to Osteopathy in keeping with the redirect from Osteopathic physician to Osteopathic medicine. --apers0n 13:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Prozac.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Prozac.png. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 11:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Pom (program)

An editor has nominated Pom (program), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pom (program) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.
