Welcome

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

Hi Rodrigja

I have proposed that Category:Pathologists Nobel laureates, which you created, should be merged to Category:Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine and also made into a list.

Your comments woukd be welcome in the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 25#Category:Pathologists_Nobel_laureates. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:09, 25 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Westenhöfer

edit

Dear Rodrigja You are doing a great job with the article on Westenhöfer! I (Renato Bender) planned to do something similar, but I did not have the time to do it. My wife Nicole Bender wrote a MD thesis on his life and work http://www.aquatic-hypothesis.com/subsites/pdf/Nicole_Bender_MD_Dissertation.pdf

Please let me know if you need something about him. We have most of his publications (although not most the Spanisch articles and books). I am writing right now an outline of his Aquatile Hypothese in a PhD thesis in Witwatersrand University. After the PhD we could help to expand the article on Westenhöfer. Cheers, Renato — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torrubirubi (talkcontribs) 07:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Reply


Thanks, but actually other authors did the main work. I've added some historical information and will add some medical references about him. Also, I placed him in the list of notable pathologists. Thanks for sharing your wife's thesis with more info about his work. All the best. Rodrigja

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
