WikiProject template on Talk:HomeopathyHi Blueraspberry, I noticed your addition to the subject talkpage. I'm not sure there's any reason to consider homeopathic "remedies" as nutritional supplement. Usually they contain just water, alcohol, sugar, or an inert binder. LeadSongDog come howl! 15:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Few minor changesHey Blue made these few changes here [1]. Per WP:MEDMOS we do not typically state patient but say person. One can also typically state this stuff as fact rather than prefacing with "Medical societies recommend" IMO anyway.

Filmmaker friendI would love for you to put me, as someone out of work with a film degree, in touch with her. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 15:36, 16 April 2013 (UTC) Indian cabinet ministersIdeally each ministry would put up a list of their cabinet ministers on their website; sadly this isn't so. And AFAIK there is no reliable source that lists all historical cabinet ministers. However I have pieced together lists of ministers for a few major cabinet offices—namely, Home, Finance, Defence, Foreign and Railways. The last two are complete and cited (you can find a reasonably reliable source at the bottom of the articles), but I cannot vouch for the comprehensiveness of the first three.—indopug (talk) 03:24, 18 April 2013 (UTC) Please help!Can you please help me adding reliable sources to my article? I have no idea how to start. I would appreciate your help. Thanks Anna Karolina Heinrich (talk) 18:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
embryonic germ disc = germ layer?Thanks for your offer! I have one pressing question is a germ disc the same as a germ layer? One of my students got ahead of me and started an article in the appointed sandbox here User:Thelmadatter/Sandboxes_Group_2/Embryogenic_germ_disc However, I cannot understand it. I poked around on the web for other explanations of what a germ disc is and eventually got to the various articles on embryo growth in Wikipedia. If he has to start with whole new topic, I need to know ASAP.Thelmadatter (talk) 01:50, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Nice to meet you at GLAM bootcamp!Let's talk some more! Klortho (talk) 14:40, 26 April 2013 (UTC) iPrEx articleHi Bluerasberry, hope you and your hamster are doing good. My name pis Pedro Goicochea (pgoicochea@gladstone.ucsf.edu) and in charge of iPrEx communications and community relations. I have been following your article on iPrEx once every year since the announcement of study results on November 23rd, 2010. In 2011 we re-engineered iPrEx communications looking forward to the open label extension phase "iPrEx OLE" (www.iprexole.com). There has been a lot of developments in the study since then, there has been updates of study analyses, on top of Time magazine, Science has considered iPrEx one of the 10 most important trials in 2010. My intention yesterday was to update the article with more accurate information. The www.globaliprex.com does not exist, ti links to the www.iprexole.com, the study results sub page does not exist any more so that the references to the fact sheets you have posted are not linking appropriately, and we in iPrEx want to highlight that PrEP is effective if taken. A recent analysis done with iPrEx data and the STRAND study data and published in Science Translational Medicine (Anderson, Peter, Glidden, David et al) confirms that PrEP could be more than 99% effective if taken daily and 96% when taken 4 days a week. I have not updated that because I feel that I am not very savvy when it comes to edit in Wikipedia. So, please let's work together in updating this article in a more accurate and comprehensive way. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgoicoch (talk • contribs) 16:15, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Your friendCould you put me in touch with your filmmaker friend, since I'm struggling with a film degree? Thanks. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 17:23, 27 April 2013 (UTC) OER policy articleHi Lane, User:Peteforsyth suggested I come to you to have a look at a first draft of an article I've been working on as part of the CommOER project. Many of our team members feel that an article on OER policy is needed, but no one has BEEN BOLD enough to start this so I gave it a whack myself at a mini-edit-a-thon here in Houston. It is currently at User:Snarfa/sandbox/policy and I believe it should reside at /open educational resources policy. We were wondering if you would take the step of reviewing, editing as needed and possibly moving this into article space. There are then 5 or so OER practitioners I will alert to its presence, as well as posting a general note on the OER talk page. Thanks SO MUCH for your help with our class. - Sara FB (talk) 14:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Per your requestPer your request at enWS, I'm cross posting a link to your Wikisource welcome message. It was very nice to meet you yesterday at the GLAMWiki Boot Camp and let me know if there's anything I can do to help on Wikisource related matters or anything else. --Doug.(talk • contribs) 19:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (File:Metrostarlogo.png)Thanks for uploading File:Metrostarlogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Nice hamsterSorry if I seemed harsh at RSN, I see you are doing great things for Wikipedia/Consumer Reports collaboration. And nice hamster. --GRuban (talk) 15:14, 31 May 2013 (UTC) your RfA rationaleI saw one editor disagreeing with your RfA rationale (at Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Mattythewhite_2, but I'd not only like to support it, I'd go further. I once wrote about this, but I cannot find the relevant edits, but in a nutshell, I'd like to see a change in the way the community approaches an RfA. I think editors ought to "sign up" to examine specified aspects of the user's contributions, so a few editors (shouldn't be just one), agree to review all AfDs, a few others look at other XfDs, a few others look at contributions to AIV and other notice boards, yet others examine blocks of content edits, other look at talk page interaction etc. I hadn't considered user page design, but I would put it on the list. Of course, anyone can review all or random selections as they choose, but if we had a more organized approach, it would be more obvious if certain areas were being reviewed, and editors could choose to concentrate on a particular area, confident that other areas have been covered.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 20:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC) User pages, my 2¢I respect your feelings about the subject of user pages, and I intend to revisit one sticky bit on my own user page with those issues in mind. But your approach bothers me. This isn't a new view for you, but from what I've seen, all you've done to raise the issue is to bring it up in RfX votes. (Note the "what links here" on your essay.) That may be pragmatic in the short run, but it comes with some costs. To me, it seems to reject as pointless any signficant form of community discussion (user talk pages, the village pump, RfC). And it puts candidates in a no-win situation: Either appear to simply submit to policy proposals that come up during their RfX, or appear to take a strong stand against said policy proposal before it has had a sensible conversation within the community. This hurts the RfA/RfB process. Pursuing user page reform through RfA/RfB votes might, in the long run, be less effective than trying to pursue your goal more broadly. Some of the harsher criticism you're getting here may be coming from a sense that this is a form of blackmail, and people tend to react negatively to that, even though I doubt it's your intent. I hope you'll consider these concerns. Love the hamster! Have a great weekend, --j⚛e deckertalk 21:10, 31 May 2013 (UTC) A barnstar for you!
UserpagesHello Bluerasberry. I've seen you !vote in some RfAs based on userpage designs, which is really an interesting idea. Do you mind taking a look at my userpage? It was re-designed 10 days ago. Mohamed CJ (talk) 08:23, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Your rationale for supporting the RfAI saw the comments above, and just wanted to chime in that I mostly agree with your rationale. It seems to me that if a user demonstrates that they are competent, trustworthy, and nice, they should be given whatever permissions they want. I'm just not sure that just a good userpage would adequately demonstrate that. For one thing -- it would be too easy to game. Klortho (talk) 02:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi thereWould you mind rewording a tiny bit of your statement on addshore's RfB? Just for clarity that it's not a policy but your own essay. Just a suggestion in word-choice but "according to the policy here." compared to "according to the criteria in my essay"? Cheers Blue, — -dainomite 19:37, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
!votingHi there. I think it was a good idea to make some adjustments here. What I came here to say was I think it would be a good idea to point out the specific part(s) of your essay that you feel the candidate's userpage violates, rather than leaving it up to them to dig through your page and try to find out what you're looking for. If you pointed out what part(s) of the candidate's userpage you found to contradict (a) specific point(s) in your userpage essay/criteria and convince them why it would benefit them and others if they changed their userpage directly in the !vote, it would save them a lot of headache and you would be more likely to get a response or even positive action from the candidate. If you just leave them a link to your criteria and tell them that they need to change their userpage based on your criteria if they want a support !vote from you, the candidate and probably the closing bureaucrat will just overlook your !vote. This is just my suggestion to you.

Laker, and I was wondering if you would be able to review this for me. Just as with the Guide article, I've written this new article on behalf of the company and submitted it to AfC for review. Also, to avoid any potential confusion I should point out that there is already a Freddie Laker article, which is about the father of the Freddie Laker I have written about. Please take a look if you are interested. It would be great to get your feedback again! Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 22:37, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 6Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited British Orthopaedic Association, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
