Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
• To sign your name on a talk page, please finish your comments with ~~~~ (four tildes). The wiki will insert a link to your userpage and the timestamp.
• Not every subject needs its own page. Sometimes it is wiser to deal with certain subjects together on one page. See Wikipedia:Merge and Wikipedia:Redirect for some background. You may want to review Avoiding common mistakes to get started quickly.
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

I found the current URL for the NCI link which had "died" in the Asbestosis article, so updated and returned it, ok? Wikityke 23:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please stop advertising your own blog, such as on polycythemia? On the whole, references to journal articles are probably more useful than non-peer reviewed case discussions. JFW | T@lk 07:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry that you feel that way about my addition of a clinical case in the external links section of the polycythemia article. I believe that clinical cases and images add a significant value since they provide a "true-to-life" description of a particular condition but, of course, they are not (and are not meant to be) the best level of evidence.

ClinicalCases.org is a project supported by physicians at the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, and is not a blog.

I respect your opinion and appreciate your corrections since this is the only way to make Wikipedia better.

Please do not be discouraged. I recomend reading the following:[[1]], [[2]]. This should help in clearing up any problems in future edits. Rsm99833 06:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mean to offend you in any way, and do not disagree with the value of the Clinical Cases site (sorry I mistook it for a blog). However, I don't think case reports are useful for readers of Wikipedia. I suggest we discuss this issue on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine. I will leave a message there and hope other contributors will give their views as to whether the Clinical Cases site is useful for Wikipedia. JFW | T@lk 11:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

We need a few second opinions on the Feingold diet page. It started out as a crib from QuackWatch, and was re-written by Shula and me. It's now pretty much in the Feingold camp. What we need is some fresh eyes to get it encyclopedic and balanced. Hope you can help. --Slashme 07:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you'd uploaded the diagram Incretins and DPP 4 inhibitors.jpg as a JPEG image. Since it wasn't very difficult, I went and redrew it as an SVG vector image and uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons as Incretins and DPP 4 inhibitors.svg. In the future, you might want to consider uploading any diagrams you draw directly to Commons in SVG format; that way, they retain the highest quality possible and can be most easily improved and, for example, translated by others. It seems that Gliffy can export drawings directly in SVG format, so this shouldn't even be difficult to do. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 23:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Central Line Equipment 1.jpg, which you've attributed to http://note3.blogspot.com/2004/02/central-line-placement-procedure-guide.html. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
