Wow, thanks. Some drawings would be great! Neurogeek, your the best.

[edit] Middle ear/Tympanic cavity

First, I want to thank you for helping to straighten out the articles on the Auditory system. I wanted to get your opinion on something. I agree with this edit of yours, and I just found another closely related article at Tympanic cavity that might need similar treatment. But I wasn't sure which direction the merge should go, and it sounds like this is your area of expertise. For now, I just added links on Middle ear and Tympanic cavity to the other, but if you could take a look at them, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again for your contributions. --Arcadian 15:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


Thanks for the acknowledgement. Sometimes I don't know where to start with these pages.
In this specific case, I think that people use "middle ear" to refer to both the volume between the tympanum and cochlea, and to the ossicles and muscles within it. Specifically, I found that usage on Pujol's page about the cochlea (Promenade Around the Cochlea). So, I edited Middle ear to reflect this usage, and need to adjust the link from Cavum tympani to Tympanic cavity.
Do you know whether the Latin or the Anglicized versions of anatomic terms are preferred in the Wikipedia? I personally would prefer the Anglicized names because it is an English encyclopedia. Neurogeek 18:15, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
I think in most cases, the Anglicized term is used, unless the Latin happens to be more commonly used by lay audiences. --Arcadian 18:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diisopropyltryptamine

Hey, you say that you're pretty involved with the auditory system? Do you have any idea why Diisopropyltryptamine messes up hearing so much? I think that the answer to the question "why?" would be a very nice addition to the article. Thanks, it's not every day that I come across an auditory-studying dude. -- Kevin (TALK)(MUSIC) 03:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ipswich Town F.C. external links

Hi. Wondered if you fancied explaining why you introduced a bunch of external links to the Portman Road article which referred to the KC stadium in this edit? I've removed the section altogether because it's unnecessary at the moment but I was curious why you thought KC stadium links were relevant... all the best... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I am still learning Wikipedia style, but I think this modification was correct given my lack of subject-matter knowledge.
That was intended to be a revision to a previous version of the page. Recent Changes showed that someone deleted some of the external links. The deleted links were links to the stadium's web site, while the remaining link was a third-party web site. I noticed it because it came up in Recent Changes; I know almost nothing about this subject. I considered deleting all of the third-party links, but I don't know enough about the subject to determine whether they are relevant. Neurogeek (talk) 18:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Not to worry. Just for your information, the KC stadium and Portman Road are very different indeed. That's why I've removed the section. Good luck with future editing, all the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 18:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
