Felix: At first glance, I'd say that your RTA page looks awesome. Very complete & accurate. I'm away at a meeting and will take a closer look this weekend. Thanks for soliciting my advice. -Dan
Nephro templateeditI think the nephrology template (Template:Nephrology) may need a tiny bit of clean-up. Also, the renal tubular acidosis article overlaps a bit with Hyperchloremic acidosis article. Nephron T|C 03:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Hari image suggestioneditFelix, While I'm on the Hari image topic, you mentioned that you had doubts about copyright status of Image:Johann Hari.jpg. If you really wanted it, I would bet you could ask the photographer to release it, but if not, you might consider marking the image for deletion (with the {{db-author}} template). Thanks! TheronJ 14:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Your noteeditI put the small lock icon on the page when I protected. Crum375 13:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Circle-A/Red staredit![]() If you want to use that image (or the other one) for any reason at all, feel free to. They're licensed under CC and GFDL, so you can use them freely anyway, but I only just realised that you might have been hinting at that earlier. I was placed on the autistic spectrum when I was a newborn, so I'm not always able to tell when people are hinting things like that, and communicating in text only makes it harder. But if you want to use any images I've created, or want me to create/design a new image, you're welcome and I'd be glad. I know they'd be seeing good use. George GallowayeditPlease see my comments here so we can attempt to move on and unprotect this article. Thanks.--Jackbirdsong 00:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Felix, I apologize if I had your e-mail and lost it, but could you turn on e-mail, or e-mail me using the "e-mail this user link" from my talk page with an e-mail address I can contact you at? If you are concerned about confidentiality, please feel free to set up a dummy e-mail at the e-mail service of your choice.

Thanks, Dave
Hi Felix... come on over... It's not fair of us to leave the entry gridlocked forever. Other users want to participate David r from meth productions 23:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Please try to make some progress on the Johann hari pageeditthe current freeze on the page for over six months is grossly unfair to other wiki users. If you've lost interest in editing the page just say and we'll carry on without you. - Dave —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.143.158.38 (talk) 16:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

membranoproliferative glomerulonephropathy & membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis?editQuick question for you-- Are membranoproliferative glomerulonephropathy and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis the same thing? Nephron T|C 01:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Renal tubular acidosiseditThe article Renal tubular acidosis you nominated as a good article has failed UserboxeditHello: I created a Userbox for the nephrology project. If there is strong feeling about changing the appearance, we can discuss that on the project talk page. The template is at: Template:User WikiProject Nephrology. To post it on your user page, paste {{User WikiProject Nephrology}} . —Gaff ταλκ 20:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Renal tubular acidosiseditI have the sense you changed your mind a couple of times. At first, I reasoned that the acidosis in RTA refers to a (plasma) pH imbalance and described it as such in this revision:
I suspect the condition was named RTA 'cause it classically presented with (systemic) acidosis. Later someone discovered that people with the same defects (that lead to the classic clinical syndromes -- but perhaps more mild) can actually have a normal systemic acid-base balance. At that point one can debate whether the acidosis refers to (1) systemic acidity (as classically described) and technically is a misnomer (by new knowledge) -- OR -- (2) the acidosis is redefined as an abnormal acidity of the renal tubules and the name of the collection of syndromes is consistent. The questions in my mind are--
Nephron T|C 16:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC) I notice that you indicated on this page's talk page several months ago that you thought it should be nominated for deletion. I agree, and have decided to bite the bullet and do it - please offer your support or otherwise at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emergence phenomenon. Cheers. --John24601 16:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC) RTA article selected on the Medicine PortaleditCongrats on the RTA article being selected on the Meidcine portal. You deserve 92.7% of the credit! Dan Levy 20:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC) No forced pixel counts please...editPlease don't add forced pixel counts please per WP:MOS - ie, typing 400px for example. It is unecessary, and it can be really annoying as it overrides people's preferences for picture size. If you want to see large pics, then set your preferences to 400px. thank you Merbabu 12:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Note to reviewing admin. This is a BLP article with continuing concerns, largely caused by this user, which have resulted in OTRS complaints. Vassyana 09:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Since it looks like you played a key role in developing Band 3, care to chime in on the current discussion on its talk page? Cheers, AndrewGNF 04:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC) WithdrawaleditHi Felix, I notice that you've lost interest in the Johann Hari page, understandably given your treatment at the hands of the indefatiguable Dave R. I joined the discussion in September but only got round to getting a username recently and i'm trying (possibly to no avail) to get a more balanced, less hagiographic entry. There looks to be the potential for progress, but we'll see. It would be good if you could pitch in at some stage - the fact that you've felt compelled to withdraw while Dave continues seems wrong.

If you are interested in coming along take part in the discussion over at Wikipedia:Meetup/London7. The discussion is going on until tomorrow evening and the official location and time will be published at the same page late Thursday or early Friday. Hope to see you Saturday, Poeloq (talk) 01:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Takoma logo.gifeditThanks for uploading Image:Takoma logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC) RhabdomyolysiseditHi there. Thanks for your expansion of rhabdomyolysis. I spent some time, together with WhatamIdoing (talk · contribs), improving this article recently. Apart from mentioning PD as a reasonable option in resource-poor setting, do you have any other comments. I am minded to work this article up for WP:FA status. The only things that are definitely missing are outlined on Talk:Rhabdomyolysis. Do you have any further recommendations (e.g. expansion of the "pathophysiology" section, more specific treatments in addition to the ones already mentioned). JFW | T@lk 07:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC) Oversensitive editor? Rx=tuffenthafukup, STATeditHi Felix, I was having a crap day, so I probably was being oversensitive about your comments. I had this whole idea of overhauling the article ,and was pleased with my plan, even though actual progress was slow. So it really gave me the shits to have you seem to blow it off. Normally I'd just say "Well F___ you matey!" and be about my business. But I'd still point you to wp:civil. Anyhow, just wanted to say that I have no problem with you piping up if you have concerns, thanks for offering. Cheers! Mattopaedia (talk) 04:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Jack the Ripper editeditI was wondering why you didn't discuss this edit beforehand. I don't think the usage of the term was meant as a pejorative descriptor. By your reasoning, someone being called a Ripperologist (a largely fallacious title) would also be used as a negative. I think that some conspiracy theorists revel in the title. I am not going to revert you, but perhaps you could come to the Discussion page and explain your reasoning, so someone else doesn't revert it. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 20:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC) BlockeditI have blocked you for three months for your antics on Johann Hari. The faux naïf comment doesn't wash well. There is a template at the top of Talk:Johann Hari, and you would have done better to bear it in mind. Tolerance shown in the past has not led to any improvement, it seems. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Despite having time on your hands, I think you haven't troubled to read WP:BLP. "Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space. (Para) Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. An important rule of thumb when writing biographical material about living persons is "do no harm"." I think you have shown yourself to be clueless about this. Does it say "factually correct edit"? Is that within the range of terms in which the policy is phrased? You have decided it is your job to posit some connection between Hari and Jeffrey Archer. And it is not our job. So out you go for a while. Bear in mind that another contributor to the same page has picked up an indefinite ban for similar disregard of BLP policy. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Back to square one, then. You've appealed, and got the same answer back from a "second opinion", no connection with me. So let's go back to the start. I said faux naïf; another way to look at it would be that this is misdirection on your part. If you bang on about "contentious" in the fullish quote I gave from the policy (to avoid selective quotation issues) and completely ignore the "titillating" aspect of what you were pushing on the page, that would be misdirection. If your query is "polite" but betrays lack of comprehension, that "lack" is the problem and the civility issue fails to come into it at all. Anyway, think over what we - the project, Wikipedia - sre doing with our policy here. It may start making sense to you that peripheral additions irrelevant to articles connecting journalists with jailbirds are going to be frowned upon. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC) You are using this template in the wrong namespace. Use this template on your talk page instead. Survey requesteditHi, Thank You, BCeagle0312 (talk) 15:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in Londonedit![]() Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008 Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month. If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too. The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required! Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along. Yours, James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC) Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite! I was hoping to send you an email, but it seems the email bit in preferences is empty.

This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:Gilad Atzmon.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 09:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC) I wanted to know if you (or any friends of yours) are interested in dermatology, and would be willing to help me with the WikiProject Medicine/Dermatology task force? Kilbad (talk) 15:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC) Hi Felix-felix, was wondering if you could have a peek at HRS if you had a chance. I have added a lot to it, but honestly it has a marked GI-bias (was the literature I was more familiar with). Thought it could use a good read-through and copy-edit from a renal man. Best regards -- Samir 15:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC) FascismeditI am contacting you because you commented on this topic a while ago. Following a recent RfC, there is currently a proposal regarding the issue of whether or not it is appropriate to characterise fascism as "right-wing". Even if you don't have much to say, it would be useful if you could let your view be known in order to help guide the discussion towards some sort of conclusion. Please take a look: here. |
