Carboplatin

Could you help provide an image from the following link http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/acsdisplay.html?DOC=HomeMolecule%5Carchive%5Cmotw_carboplatin_arch.html

Nattu

Abetalipoproteinemia & OMIM

I was following the recommended citation style that is presented by OMIM itself (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/omimfaq.html#citing_omim). I would actually prefer to use the source's preferred citation method when using a record as a reference as opposed to merely putting in a link to the resource. I take it, though, that you object to that, yes? Courtland 22:45, 2005 Mar 26 (UTC)

Responded on your talk. JFW | T@lk 06:41, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Missing arachnoid

Jfdwolff and Bryan Derksen, as the first two people with self-described interests in medical articles that I noticed in the page histories of some brain-related articles I just dab'd [take a breath], I thought I might ask you to contribute to an omission I came across. In creating an article on Arachnoid (astrogeology) for the new Featured Article Venus (planet), I came across Arachnoid, which was just a redirect to Meninges, which linked to Arachnoid again. This seemed odd to me, because the other two meninges layers, dura mater and pia mater, had their own articles, however brief. Anyway, I changed Arachnoid into a disambiguation page with three meanings and dab'd the old references into Arachnoid (brain) for about a dozen articles. Could one or both of you create a short article to fill in the missing layer? Thanks. — Jeff Q (talk) 05:46, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Biweekly special article

Dear Fact and Reference Check member,

After many months, the biweekly special article has been brought back! The article we will be referencing is Titan (moon). Please do your best to help out!

I'm asking all members to verify at least three facts in the article, and I'd really appreciate it if you could try and help with this. We have about 19 members, so if even 3/4 of us try and fulfil this 'dream', that'll be 45 references!

If you need some information on how to use footnotes, take a look at Wikipedia:Footnote3, which has a method of autonumbering footnotes. Unfortunately, they produce brackets around the footnotes, but it seems to be our best alternative until they integrate the footnote feature request code into MediaWiki. You may be interested in voting for the aforementioned feature request.

Cheers,

Request for assistance

Hi, can you check in on Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption for me? There is a factual dispute and I am trying to cite and use the relevant scientific sources, but the other user seems to want to stick to one source. The article's external link is a summary of some of the relevant literature. I have pulled the abstracts, but none of the full text seems to be available. I don't know when I will be able to go to the library to actually check them out. I'll have to warn you, the talk has gotten messy because I have been unwilling to let this guy have his way without providing sources to back it up. Thanks - Taxman 17:31, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Done. Please report which articles I should review, and I'll try. JFW | T@lk 19:44, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ablution in Judaism

There's a question at Talk:Ablution in Judaism; I wonder if you wouldn't mind weighing in? Jayjg ^(talk) 17:48, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and if you have a chance, would you mind taking a look at the current debate at Talk:Israel Shahak? Your opinion would be welcome. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:32, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The term is un-Jewish. We have no ablutions, we have netilath yadayim. I have stated this on the talk page. JFW | T@lk 19:44, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Radio Islam

I've made some major revisions to the Radio Islam page; I was hoping you might look them over. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:41, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

AIDS

I'm concerned about the motives of User:Sci guy, who has been heavily editing AIDS, HIV, and other related articles. He's been removing a lot of information. I know you have a medical background.. I'm sure you're busy, but would you mind looking over the articles? Thanks. Rhobite 23:42, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Saddam Hussein

Dear Jfdwolff,

Since you are an administrator could you revert some vandalism on the Saddam Hussein article. I would do it yet a good section of the article is missing. Could you please change this. Thank you --ChanochGruenman 12:10, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Messiah article

I'm having a disagreement with User:Eliezer on the Messiah article; would you mind giving your opinion? Jayjg ^(talk) 15:50, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for supporting my adminship — I vow to use my super powers for good not evil. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:07, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

External link(s)

Enough people told me that it shold always be External links even if there are only one as a matter of policy that it was pretty standard. That appears to be what most people have used over the last year. The Wikipedia:External links article now says singular, but I note that that was only changed on March 18 and the person who put it there was an anonymous user. Based upon the comments on the talk page saying that it should be plural even when there is only one, and there being no contradiction to this elsewhere except by this one anon user, I removed what the anon user said from that page and changed it to what it always used to be. If this is not correct someone else on that page will no doubt correct it or raise the issue for discussion there again. I do know that it has overwhelmingly been links even in singular instances over the year and a half I've been here registered and unregistered. DreamGuy 14:55, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Noted Talmudist

Our friend User:Eliezer now wants to include Schneerson in the list of "noted Talmudists" in the Talmud. Care to voice your opinion? Jayjg ^(talk) 17:12, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hasid-stub nominated for deletion

Hi Dr. Wolff: I have nominated {{Hasid-stub}} (Template:Hasid-stub) for deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion#Template:Hasid-stub [1] for reasoning and for your input. Thank you. IZAK 07:39, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Robert Maxwell

Hi Doctor: you may want to look at some pathetic "editing" at Robert Maxwell. Thanks. IZAK 08:25, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)++

Charlie

I am a misandronist and a philogynist. My interests offend others too easily. I have been told," Charlie, no one understands you, and your curiosity must come from Satan. I feel sorry for you." At "Bible" I added only 3 words, and people went nuts. Thanks, Doc. I don't think being a wikipedian would be healthy for me now. I prefer my privacy. The Greatest Magician in the world, Martin Gardner, is my teacher and friend. But I am certainly not THAT SMART! I'm a grunt and a misfit. 14 Apr 2005

God, protect Wikipedia. Charlie Turek is back. JFW | T@lk 14:11, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hypothyrodism

I thought that the two changes I made actually improved the page - even if my style was incorrect. AltSupportThyroid is the best ex link that I have seen. As for the other change it just loops back on itself as it stands today (try it) - not sure what we should do about it... Unsigned by User:Mome-Rath

Usenet groups having their own homepage... Heavens. Wikipedia does not need external links about diseases apart from the following purposes: (1) As references (e.g. FDA data on levothyroxine prescriptions in the USA), (2) When internet-based information has contributed significantly to the public perception of a problem (these are very rare). "Support groups" do not need links from Wikipedia. In fact, many of these support groups push their own bias and implicitly violate WP:NPOV. Since arriving at the project I have been removing irrelevant or irresponsible external links, and I will continue to do so. JFW | T@lk 14:11, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I beg to differ - my partner was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, and our immediate instinct was to find information. In all our research AltSupportThyroid had the most relevant and detailed information. I do not think they have any specific bias per se. Have you actually looked at the website? Anyway, as you will understand, I am just trying to add some value (albeit clumsily).

The page still has a redirect back to itself. Unsigned by User:Mome-Rath

I'm not going to fix the redirect now. Perhaps later.

You seem to misunderstand. The fact that a page is good is not enough reason to link to it from Wikipedia. Notability and quality are distinct parameters (sometimes a notorious page is more worth linking than a good one). JFW | T@lk 09:53, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Modern Orthodox Judaism

Hi Jfdwolff. The discussion is getting a little heated in Talk:Modern Orthodox Judaism; would you mind giving your opinions on the issues being discussed there? Jayjg ^(talk) 20:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Chicago revert

Jfdwolff, the reason I speedied the Chicago article is because I am going to move Chicago, Illinois there. See Talk:Chicago, Illinois for more info. Thanks, Dralwik 23:57, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

THANKS

Thank you sincerely for the Chicago move. Dralwik 00:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry about the redirects. I'm already changing them. It would be a great help if you assisted, too. Dralwik 00:06, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm already changing the redirects, so the double-redirects should turn up on the bottom of the list as the redirects are deleted. Dralwik 00:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I just found and fixed Chicago Illinois and Chicago, Il. Dralwik 00:21, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Here's one bad one (several links): Chicago, IL.

All done with Chicago, IL. Dralwik 02:17, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
