Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas, Hordaland. (Hope that's culturally appropriate!) It's been nice collaborating with you this year. Anthony (talk) 02:40, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, Anthony, and the same to you. Appropriate, yes. Twelve hours from now we'll be unwrapping presents, slowly. Looking forward to it! --Hordaland (talk) 05:34, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Second wind (sleep)

I don't know how to suggest an article for deletion; can someone tell me how? This one is poor, repeats tips which belong in 'Sleep hygiene' and could as well belong in Wictionary. Thanks, --Hordaland (talk) 15:20, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The simplest way is to "prod" it, by placing a template {{subst:prod|Neologism with no reputable sources}} at the top of the talk page. (The part after the vertical bar is an explanation, which you can alter as you please.) Any editor is free to remove the prod tag, but if nobody does for a week, the article will be deleted. The alternative is to nominate the article for deletion via the AfD process, but that involves a lot more work -- I'll give you further pointers if you like. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 15:30, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Looie. Done. Hordaland (talk) 15:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

A new medical resource

Please note that there is a new freely accessible medical resource, MedMerits (to which I'm a medical advisor) on neurologic disorders. A discussion on ELs to MedMerits and medical ELs in general is currently in progress ("Wikipedia and its relationship to the outside world"). Presto54 (talk) 18:24, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about contacting you

I didn't know there was a problem with contacting people as I did and have stopped, having been duly cautioned. You're right in that MedMerits does not offer total coverage of sleep or neurology in general because of licensing restrictions. But it does have a very large selection of neurologic content, including sleep. MedLink has an excellent sleep section. It's a fee-based site, but you can get a guest pass by writing to its medical director at [e-mail] if you want to check it out. Presto54 (talk) 19:05, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that information. --Hordaland (talk) 22:02, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
