Julian C. Stanley copyvio

While press releases are a good source of biographical information about people, they're still copyrighted by their actual authors. Wikipedia can't accept material that you don't own, even press releases. So I've removed the middle, copyright-violating portion of the Julian Stanley article you contributed. (The page is very timely, though!) --Quuxplusone 03:30, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

For commendable contributions to the featured article Multiple sclerosis.

Emergency department vote

The above article is likely to be selected as next weeks choice at Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive if it receives a few more votes. It is of interest to Wikipedians in general, and would improve the profile of medical-related topics on Wikipedia. To vote, click on WP:AID and sign your name in the Emergency department section.--File Éireann 18:53, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Adding references

I have never previously seen the article on The Impossible Syndrome - however I did add an edit to the Clinical Medicine's talk page re using a bookmarklet to use a PubMed PMID number converting tool to add full reference citations. Unfortunately this has just been archived ! So, as per your sensible suggestion, I have copied and clarified the details to WikiProject Clinical medicine project page under the section about references: Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine#References

Hope this helps. David Ruben ^Talk 02:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Prostate-Answers.com is link spam?

I've spent countless hours on creating that site for prostate cancer patients and their families. I treat cancer patients for a living and see on average 37 patients a day with prostate cancer each on a 9 week prescription. I have been a radiation therapist for the past 10 years and have done my fair share of research and have real life experience on the subject of prostate cancer. I know when patients come for treatment they are often uninformed and overwhelmed. I felt that I could contribute and answer some of their questions they might have and provide some information not filled with technical jargon that is hard to understand. Being diagnosed with cancer and then being tossed from doctors office to doctors office, alot of things are said that someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer might not absorb right away. I know patients often come for their first treatment or even simulation for radiation therapy and have no clue why they are there. Of course they have been told but it doesn't sink in. Seeing this over the years has given me the idea for my sites. But I suppose you are the #1 authority on the subject leading you to believe you can just pull my work.

If your removing my site because of the Google Ads then why not remove http://www.urologychannel.com too?? I make about enough money to keep my website running. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bilransom (talk • contribs) 16:54, 25 February 2006 (UTC).

Re: Malignant Histiocytosis

Thanks for the information on that article, Rewster. I guess it must only have been created recently, otherwise it would have wound up on the list of Veterinary Stubs when I was cross category searching while proposing the veteriunary stubs for inclusion.

“Medicine” on MCOTW

After a bit of inactivity, Medicine has been selected as the new medicine collaboration of the week. I am taking the unusual step of informing all participants, not just those who voted for it, since I feel that it is important that this highest-level topic for our collaboration be extremely well-written. In addition, it is a core topic for Wikipedia 1.0 and serves as the introduction to our other articles. Yet general articles are the ones that are most difficult for individuals to write, which is why I have invited all participants. I hope it isn't an intrusion; I don't make plan to make a habit of sending out these messages. — Knowledge Seeker দ 02:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Biography

Can you justify as to how My Biography is Vanity, before recommending that for deletionDoctor Bruno 05:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• There are no commercial links.
• There are no Vanity links.
• There are no Vanity photos.
• There are no Vanity text edits.

On the other hand, I invite your attention to the following guidelines

• An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia
• Lack of fame is not the same as vanity.Doctor Bruno 05:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Author's Biography

I have ALREADY read the guidelines and have given the key points above. Hence your advice of asking me to read the guidelines is not needed. It is perhaps you who should read that

If what you say is correct, then NO author can be allowed an entry in Wikipedia as that will amount to promote the books. You have made a hasty judgement in that page and now trying to justify that. I have listed evnough reasons as to why this is not Vanity. There are authors with less number of books who have an article. But you do not give any valid reason for your point. And this is not comprehensibleDoctor Bruno 05:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Attention Please

I request your kind attention to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Using_the_subject_as_a_source check that the article in question does not contain any unsourced or poorly sourced criticism. If it does, delete it. Hence, I guess, as per policies, I have every right to delete an article about me I don't want guys who have NO (I repeat NO) knowledge about Indian Books pass judgement about my merit unnecessarily. The article was proposed for deletion first on notability. When I proved notability, it has changed to Vanity. I guess it is some one who does not like me trying to tarnish my name Doctor Bruno 14:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC) The debate is not a vote; please make recommendations on the course of action to be taken, sustained by arguments. The very fact that you have not given any arguments, and also falied to answer my points prove that you have malicious intention in defaming meDoctor Bruno 16:17, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Why are you against me

I have proved as to how my page is not vanity. You can disprove me. Instead why are you hell bent on defacing my arguments. This gives me an impression that you are biased. How can you delete an article without hearing all sides.Doctor Bruno 01:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I have placed the proof on your talk page. If you feel otherwise, you could have refuted that based on the Guidelines of Wikipedia. I have proved that why the Article does not come under vanity as per Guidelines. You did not answer that (may be because you don't have any valid points). But you are very particular as to devalue by arguments.

I have written 6 books out of which 5 has been published by reputed publisher. One user has conveniently ignored the 5 and has taken out the lone book which has been self published and is using that as an argument for notability. Should not I point it out. Why are you biased. It is because you gave a hasty decision and your ego prevents you from going back on your initial mistakeDoctor Bruno 06:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Rating article question

I just noticed that you rated the Leslie Charteris article as a stub. I'm curious as to why, since my understanding is stubs only contain a minimum amount of information and once they go past a certain length they are no longer stubs. Based upon its length and amount of information, this should be a Start class at minimum and possible one grade higher. 23skidoo 02:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. There's no doubt a lot of work needs to be done on the article, but I just felt it had a bit more content than a stub. Cheers! 23skidoo 02:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

• Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
• Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
• If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Society of Teachers of Family Medicine moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
