[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, RJ1001!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Five pillars
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

[edit] Sculptra
The article looked pretty good; seemed reasonably npov so I removed the advert tag and wikified it a bit. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speech AND Language Pathology
So I suppose the one thing I won't help w/ is proofreading. Thanks for fixing the title and my apologies for that.
Cheers, -RJ1001 04:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Hahaha. I am afraid I am rather good at proofreading which is why most of my wikipedia contributions have been typo corrections. Absolutely no worries and in fact I really appreciate your proactive organizing. Thanks muchly for writing up the merge proposal... a terrific idea, and hopefully someone else will come by to comment some time. I might even drop some notes on the talk pages of some of the earlier contributors if I have a moment. Another thing: I noticed that there is a phoniatrics page too. I am not sure if that should be merged too. What do you think? --Slp1 02:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Nice catch--seems like this topic is strewn all about the place. To be quite honest, I had never heard the term "phoniatrics." Looking at the entry and a dictionary of mine, it seems appropriate to merge as well. In addition, I found the synonymous term "phoniatry"--thankfully it has no article, but it should be a redirect. This lengthens the list of redirects that need to be made (the nation-specific one you've already made+phoniatrics+phoniatry). I've placed the appropriate flags on Phoniatrics. We'll see what happens.

Okay, well it seems like we have 1 comment now, thanks to your message!!! I have left messages for another 11, people who have made substantive contributions to the articles in the last while and who still seem to be active. Maybe a few others will give their opinions too! In the meantime I notice that the Speech-Language Pathology is lifted entirely from the American Speech and Hearing Association website, [[1]] with no permission, I presume. It may make the process simpler in a way!
Have a happy Labour Day weekend.

[edit] Medicine nav bar
Hi, I'm not clear why you are lumping nursing, dentistry, etc. in on the physician navigation bar. These are separate professions. If you are going to do something like that, you need to treat them equally with physicians and list each specialty, which would be cumbersome. I'll go ahead and remove nurse and nurse practitioner from the list. -THB 02:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. My view is that the nav bar is for the medical profession. There's also a medicine portal. There's a health portal that includes nursing and I started working on a nursing portal last week. No need to blur the lines between the professions. Traditionally medicine has dominated the health care field but in numbers there are a lot more nurses, not to mention other professionals and paraprofessionals. I suppose you could do a separate nav bar for all the health professions together giving each of them equal weight but I don't see a purpose in that as there is already a category for it. -THB 04:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why not to merge Cardio / Vascular / Thoracic surgery categories.
Hi. I added a comment on Talk:Cardiothoracic_Surgery you might be interested in regarding splitting cardiothoracic surgery into cardiac and thoracic surgery. From reading your to do list, it sounds like you have the same opinion as myself. I have started editing some of the cardiac surgery pages and I'm hoping to edit a lot more in the near future.
