re linking to your own website:

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Blom singer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blom singer.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tracheo oesophageal puncture

Hi again. Thanks for creating the article. Clearly though "Tracheo oesophageal" is an adjectival abbreviation used by ENT to describe a specific proceedure, which on reading the 1st paragraph would seem to be formally known as "Tracheo oesophageal puncture". I have therefore moved the article to Tracheo oesophageal puncture.

From your choice of spelling, I presume you follow British English, so I have created the redirect of Tracheo esophageal puncture for our American friends.

I've had a go at adding section headers, adding caption to the picture and relocating it, plus work up the references using Template:Cite journal and PubMed abstract links. However the article currently reads like a medical text book entry rather than at a knowledgeable lay reader (e.g. what is a "trans nasal oesophageal insufflation test", and what does it show - I think I can guess, but the general readership will be mystified) - a fault all us doctors initially are at risk of in working on wikipedia :-). As a GP I was interested in reading the details, but unsure how to perhaps rephrase or re-tone. Could you perhaps have a relook at the article :-)

Finally an invite (not that any is needed) - Doctors and others interested in medical topics meet up at the clinical medicine project (WP:CLINMED]]) and the "doctor's mess" is the discussion page (WT:CLINMED). David Ruben Talk 00:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
