Skiing in LebanonThank you for your advice but myself and some other people working on the topic are tired with this. We give up. Some editors know better than we do how wikipedia works and for some reason are vandalizing our work. Lebprofiler (talk) 23:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Lebprofiler I agree with your comment regarding the article about skiing in lebanon. Maybe you coud finf somebody to speed the deletion process or do it yourslef. This article was the reason for many anger between people who are virtual! Actualy I am surprised how people can be addicted to this. I only care about wikipedia with regards to my articles. But honestly I am astonished by how people are getting crazy about subjects they never heard about before. I believe scientist have a lot to learn about Wiki Internet addiction.

Nk.sheridan Talk 22:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC) Trouble SleepingI can help you with this if you like then maybe you can sleep instead of attacking me :-). I am serious about the offer to help - you are being disturbed by something called Jinn and there are methods for stopping this from happening. It is not a medical condition as you may think. For starters place red and purple (cloth) near your head at night as these colors have a calming effect on the Jinn. The rest you may contact me if interested. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesMMc (talk • contribs) 21:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Quick to ActYou seemed to punce on the subject of Onion Juice Therapy with noe apparent expertise on the subject whatsoever. You have nonetheless made a valid point that there was no refrence and that has been fixed as seen below. Onion Juice Therapy has been prescribed for hundreds of years by natural practioners such as Sufi healers. Evidence for the long history of onion juice therapy in fighting cancer can be found in books like Natural Medicines, Traditional Sufi Healing Methods which is reprinted on the web with permission under the title Introduction to Natural Healing, .[2] Kindly remove your warning. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesMMc (talk • contribs) 21:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Winter of terrorI'm not sure I agree. The article clearly states that the avalanches are thought to be caused by climatic conditions, not geological activity. Avalanches are not studied by geologists and, since by my understanding they only travel over snow, don't even cause sedimentary deposits which a geologist might study (which would be a push for including this article in the category anyway!) Cave diving is a tenuous one which I did consider removing but one could envisage an argument that it's a technique employed by speleologists, or that caves are geological features. Hope you can see my point, Verisimilus T 09:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC) TopoQuestThe CSD A7 tag was added because the website name got only 9 google hits. I have listed it under afd instead. -- Roleplayer (talk) 23:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC) MobilityI think it can be given a non-administrative close, if you have done one before. Want to be the person that closes it? I was thinking that DHartung is right and the target for redirect should be "economic mobility".

Re: Collegiate secret societies in North America
hey there sheridan, I know it is not typical protocal, but these society pages bring alot of competion. it is just best in this case to have a clean start, there was just a mix-up and we are all better off to start it off clean, so many people have put so much work in getting these society pages where they should be.

Hi there, I've done some work on this article, to turn it into a broader introduction to a set of related and more specialized articles, such as DNA, gene and genetics. Tim Vickers (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Bjaco18Thanks a lot for your comments on this user's talk page.

You're right, the reference to periods originally referred to a period of time. Thanks for pointing that out, I will update the article. Anyway, the book article mentions heightened emotions and more frequent crying during and before the menstrual cycle, as opposed to the inter-menstrual period.

Crying as DYKHey, there! I've been looking for a new pet project for a while, and I've had my eyes on crying for a few months now. I've been thinking about trying to expand it in the same way I did smoking. Since you seem interested in working on this, how about we try getting the article on the mainpage as a DYK by expanding it extensively in one go? We could collaborate on a temporary page for a while and after there is enough content to expand the article fivefold or more, we could make a DYK request. The only source available to me right now is Lutz, but on the other hand, it's a very good summary of the existing research on crying. Peter Isotalo 16:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Rwiggum (Talk/Contrib) 19:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC) Re:Bjaco againYeah, I couldn't agree more- his heart's in the right place, he just isn't quite ready to be a heavy contributor to Wikipedia yet. Yeah- he asked whether I knew if Weird Al had an account on Wikipedia. In my last talk archive, less than a month's worth, there are nearly 30 headings from him- most of which are questions about being an admin, barnstars, WikiProjects and the like, rather than questions about policies and content. Just a little over-eager, which is tiring, but when combined with his refusal to take advice, becomes a little too strenuous.

Ralbot (talk) 07:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC) notabilityFrom basic criteria: A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. And Any biography * The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them. * The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. Now, like it or not I have been interviewed and published many times over the years, from radio, to newspapers, to the internet on a number a subjects, and as far away as Japan. There have been front page pictures on our National Newspaper, as well as editorials and editorial cartoons. This is all a matter of public domain. I co-founded a FEDERAL election party, in and of itself part of the history of my country, you can't possibly believe that not to be part of the 'enduring historical record'. If you don't think that's a notable feat you start a federal level political party. My use of the internet for social activism was cutting edge at the time, and definately an innovative use of new technology. Didn't I read someplace that events notable then should maintain being notable now? You really have no valid arguements, as this seems to be a matter of perception. Do you actually attempt to validate any of the information? There have been no peer complaints, and i'm sure there would be none either way in the ridiculous 5 day period established. Tell you what, delete the whole page and I'll add myself to the list of Wiki detractors. I thought this was a glorious idea until a number of hours ago. It started a number of hours ago to fill in a dead link from within a wiki page. Has it dawned on you that if the original pages content was valid and notable, then the individual parts of the content should also be notable? Your logic is flawed. Your page on our ridings voting history itself contributes to the historical record of our country AND at the same time validates notability. Isn't that the entire point of wiki?!? Do you even understand my arguement? If you see COI point it out. If you see self promotion point it out. The idea is to let it stand and be improved by others, is it not? You are not my peer in my subjects of specialty so by definition not qualified to speak on relevance. Deleting a page because of suspicion of COI or suspicion of non-notability is ridiculous, especially when the page contains supporting links. I have not read anywhere that the original draft has to be complete by the original poster. Again, it seems to me that the business of flushing out the page should be the area of my peers and wiki users. Wouldn't it be easier to paint a picture of self promotion if I posted links to every letter, editorial, and picture of relevance of myself. Delete it or not, I don't care anymore. Pathetic. Stambo2001 (talk) 00:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.72.87 (talk) 00:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC) §§ missed the shift for tilde key Now i've spent the last few minutes researching wiki detractors and found an interesting paragraph by a fellow named Jason Scott. It perfectly describes my experience of the last few hours and why now I'll tell people to avoid wiki. Here it is: "This is what the inherent failure of wikipedia is. It's that there's a small set of content generators, a massive amount of wonks and twiddler, and then a heaping amount of prodecural whackjobs. And the mass of twiddlers and procedural whackjobs means that the content generators stop being so and have to become content defenders. Woe be that your take on things is off from the majority. Even if you can prove something, you're now in the situation that anybody can change it. And while that's all great in a happy-go-lucky flower shower sort of way, it's when you realize that the people who are going to change it could have absolutely no experience with the subject whatsoever, then you see where we are." And that is where I am exactly. I began today as a potential new content generator. But then along came first a wonk and twiddler who moved me up to a procedural whackjob...neither of which have any experience whatsoever in the matter at hand(clap, clap, clap) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stambo2001 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
BJinsectThanks for the heads up- clearly a sock, and with practically no useful contributions, but sticking with Bjaco's old ways (meta nonsense, trying to get a bot, ignoring copyright, Jimbo worship, inability to spell 'you're', believing that the Wikipedia space needs to be filled with things about insects in Brisbane and even contacting his old account) shows that he has learnt nothing. I've blocked him, and I suspect he will request an unblock as soon as he realises. J Milburn (talk) 22:19, 29 June 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for June 30, 2008.

Ralbot (talk) 05:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC) Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 NoticeHi, As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid. We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded. You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

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 :)
