[edit] Chicago

Because of your work with the WikiProject Cities I'd like you to take a look at the Chicago article if you have the time & desire. It is currently up for Peer Review (see Chicago Talk) and I would enjoy hearing your feedback to help guide the growth of this article. Jasenlee 01:14, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ship rates

Hi, I take it you didn't see my comment at Talk:Rating system of the Royal Navy - I think you're making a hash of what was a reasonable design that linked well. Since I don't want to summarily undo all your work, please respond at that talk page before going too much further. Stan 06:28, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Plague in NYC

I can't access that .pdf article for some unknown error reason (Microsoft sucks?). In my Epidemiology courses I've been told that plague occured in small outbreak in NYC during a garbage-collector's strike in the 80s. I'm sure I had a reliable web-source somewhere too. Due to the sudden increase in garbage on the streets, rat numbers, and their plague infected fleas, grew dramatically and their contact with humans grew greatly - resulting in several cases of bubonic-form plague. I'll try and find a source during the week. I'll leave it until then. --ZayZayEM 04:01, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] T'ai Chi tree.

Greetings Petersam. Nice work on the T'ai Chi tree. I've been remarkably busy lately and unable to contribute in any major way, unfortunately. I have added a caveat to the bottom of the tree. Yang Zhenduo (Yang Chengfu's son) has publicly stated that the shorter forms appended to his branch of the tree are not to be considered Yang style, so I thought to mention that. I may start a new article soon on how forms are judged for wushu competition (if I ever get any time off) which you may find interesting. Regards, Fire Star 16:44, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] New ship table template

I've spent the last few days working on a new ship table template to enable us to centralise the editing of things like weapons outfits for a particular class of ships in one template (so with the Fletchers or Gearings or other big classes you only have to edit in one place to alter a mistake rather than in dozens or hundreds). Please have a look at the WikiProject Ships page's talk section and see what you think. I haven't written the instructions for using it yet, and I want to see whether there are any table cells people would like me to include that aren't present yet. There are two example tables, one with all the optional cells present, and the other with some excluded. David Newton 14:10, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PMID template

Hi there -- thanks for your diligent removal of {{PMID}} references, even on my user subpages. :-) It's much appreciated. Best, David Iberri | Talk 09:02, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Civil Air Patrol

Hello, I noticed that you supported Civil Air Patrol for FA; I just wanted to say thank you. I'm currently a cadet, and I've got ideas of going into the Air Force. This article is my first major commitment on Wikipedia, and I'm proud to know some people are voting for it.

After looking at your user page, it came to my attention that you were in the Navy. Would you be interested in listing yourself on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by military branch?

Once again, thanks for the vote! Linuxbeak 20:47, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Protected page

Greetings Petersam! I have protected the T'ai Chi Ch'uan page temporarily to discourage the spammer(s) who have been working over the external links section. If you want it unblocked in the meantime for editing, let me (or another admin if I'm offline) know, I'll be happy to do so for you. Fire Star 04:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Oakland Chinatown

I'd just like to commend you for the time you've been spending on the Chinatown, Oakland article (and the Oakland article as well). --Andy M. 19:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gangtok map

I personally don't think that Gangtok's relation to India (as opposed to Sikkim) should be highlighted, but anyways I've replaced the Gangtok location map. Regards,  =Nichalp (Talk)= 15:50, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Category

Placed category physician on your userpage. --Nomen Nescio 10:04, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alpha Phi Omega wikipedians category.

There is now a Category set up for Alpha Phi Omega wikipedians at[1]. See the page for how to add yourself into this category.


[edit] Medical record

There is a suggestion to merge Medical record, that you have previously contributed to, with Medical records. There is a big difference between what makes up an individual clinical record (history, examination, investigations, correspondence) and all the administrative/legal aspects (keeping, disclosing vs confidentiality, auditing of records). Merging may may create an article that is too long, but separately the names are too cofusingly similar. There is also some comments about moving the details of examination to Physical examination. Please click on here if you would like to contribute to this discussion. David Rubentalk 23:46, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Paid Editing Project

Hi: My name is Tess and I work for a global independent research firm in New York. I am interested in hiring you for a Wikipedia editing project, based on your technology and medical experience and expertise. I attempted to email you through your user page. If you received it, please read it over and contact me with any questions. If you did not receive this email, please let me know and I would be more than happy to tell you more about this project. (You can call 512-651-1797 or email tfurman@glgroup.com). Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon! Tess - Gerson Lehrman Group 19:39, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ken Kutaragi

I'm requesting your opnion about this dispute. Lot of POV-Pushing, the article is currently blocked. --GroundZero 00:01, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scouting

Noted Scouting is listed on your userpage, give a look at User:Kintetsubuffalo/workshop/Template:User Scout. YiS, Chris 23:17, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] holly near & oakland!

Hey fellow oaklander—glad to see you've been reading your oakland magazine. However, I'm not sure if Holly Near really gets the Oakland stamp of approval, as she's a native of the north bay and currently resides outside of sebastapol. her record label (redwood) used to be here, and she still records here, though. I haven't seen the article in the magazine yet, so I won't delete her from the list BUT I do have a close family relationship with her, and I know she doesn't really consider herself an oaklander (although she loves the town). Of course, she is an oakland kind of girl! Keep up the great work! Reggaedelgado 23:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent change to the main page

As explained in the history, I changed one link, [[Curious Labs Poser]] to [[Poser|Curious Labs Poser]] in an attempt to render some redirects useless. I hope you don't mind, and leave a comment on my talk page if you do. PirateMonkey 23:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category

Added you to category physician, hope you don't mind. Sincerely Holland Nomen Nescio 12:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add cat to my user page, thanks Petersam 23:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


  • Hi Dad....its DAVID :)

[edit] Chinatown, Oakland

I've removed the many many many links in the Chinatown article, but instead of deleting them I've moved all would-be-deleted info to User:Daniel Olsen/Chinatown Cleanup. If you're still working on the article, that's where you can find the links. Happy Editing! --Daniel Olsen 23:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taichung City

I am new on WikiProject Cities. I have added considerable content to the first city I am working on, which happens to be the city of my residence, Taichung City. Would you mind taking a few minutes to look it over and leave comments on how you think I can make it better to bring it up to WikiProject Cities standards in a section of the discussion page for the city’s article page that I have set up.

Thank you. Ludahai 03:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

I've noticed your contributions to Bay Area-related articles, such as, notably, Chinatown, Oakland, California, and the fact you're a local. With that,

You have been invited to join the WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area, a collaborative effort focused on improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Bay Area. If you'd like to join, just add your name to the member list. Thanks for reading!

[edit] Friends: A Love Story

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Friends: A Love Story, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Dismas|(talk) 20:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zile

Hi, Can you copy edit the article when you have time? Thanks--Ugur Olgun 17:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation in Arcadia Publishing

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Arcadia Publishing, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Arcadia Publishing is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Arcadia Publishing, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moore Dry Dock Company

You've found some nice stuff for this article. I don't doubt the authenticity of the Jim Crow Shipyards article, but there's no information about where and when it was published, etc. Can you put some of that information in the article or the reference? Lou Sander 01:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

GREAT stuff on Moore Dry Dock! I created the article because I was doing articles on Attack cargo ships, and Moore was one of the yards that built them. I didn't know much more than the name of the yard. You've really expanded on it in a positive way, especially with all the links and references. If I may ask, what's the source of your interest in the subject? Lou Sander 08:39, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Oakland resident and Navy vet who recently visited Rosie_the_Riveter/World_War_II_Home_Front_National_Historical_Park#Lucretia_Edwards_Shoreline_Park and found out about Moore there. Petersam 01:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Interesting. I'm also a Navy vet (see THIS). During its lifetime, our ship always had one medical officer aboard, plus a few corpsmen. Two or three of the corpsmen, plus a bluejacket or two, went on to become MD's themselves, which I think was a remarkable accomplishment. Lou Sander 11:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Your interests may be compatible with improving another article I started: Naval Supply Depot, Oakland. Lou Sander 18:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

I wasn't aware you were back! You're still welcome at WP:MED - there's always a need for more hands. I'm not sure what has happened to our other family physician Badgettrg (talk · contribs), but your input is as welcome as ever. JFW | T@lk 01:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of tuberculosis victims

An editor has nominated List of tuberculosis victims, 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/List of tuberculosis victims 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. BJBot (talk) 16:29, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
