Gedday Nick, there are a few of us here from time to time. Drop by the doctors mess to see what we're all up to. best wishes Erich 06:10, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Don't worry too much about the protocols. The best thing Wikipedia is that it is extremely easy to undo any change. That's why it survives. You'll find that any "mistakes" you make are quickly corrected by someone else. It's all amazingly powerful and flexible... and fun really. I'm a bit of an addict. Tinkering with existing pages is a simple way of starting, but you'll soon get the hang of it. I'm happy to steer you in the right direction if you have questions (or you can ask the eclectic mix at the mess). ARDS has been getting a bit of a massage lately, thanks mainly to User:Aside. The 'don't publish original researh' policy is mainly to stop crack pots... "my research conclusively show asthma is caused entirely due to the use of underarm deoderant by mothers..." that sort of thing, I think. If you've got some research that has been published then that would be received well. I've been dropping a few articles into category:pulmonology as I find them. (to put an article in a category you just type [[category:pulmonology]] at the bottom (or [[category:medicine]] etc to put articles in another category. cheers Erich 00:34, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
