Talk:Seldinger technique

replies: text: It was rather nicely written up in the Lancet. I hadn't heard of Dr Seldinger but they dug up his biography :-). I really enjoy making medical articles more historical. JFW | T@lk 08:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I've never used a sheath. I use this procedure to place central venous catheters, hemodialysis catheters, pulmonary artery catheters, and have assisted with electrophysiological studies. In that context we have never used a sheath. The guidewire itself is used to insert the catheter or introducer. Perhaps your sheath is our introducer? When placing a central line, the line itself is placed over the wire.  Also, I have never seen this used with chest tubes. I suspect we have a totally different way of doing things. DocJohnny 17:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought sheaths were being used for coronary angiography, which is why I said it's used occasionally. The Lancet article focused on intravascular procedures, such as electric ablation of varicose veins, and I suppose this is when a sheath is most useful. JFW | T@lk 08:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Sheaths

message: How exactly is the Seldinger technique an improvement over earlier techniques?
This article implies that earlier techniques use a "sharp trocar", which caused complications.
But the Seldinger technique also uses a "sharp trocar", so I fail to see the improvement.
Please make it more wp:obvious.

message: I've reverted a lot of work done here by an IP editor, 70.160.125.46, and I'd like to explain why. The additions were not done using good English language - which I would be happy to fix up, except that when you claim "famous for onions", "busiest sea port", "famous in the country" - these kind of claims need to have reliable sources where someone can check to see if this is true. Preferably these would be in English language, although there are lots of Spanish speakers here too, who would be able to verify the claims.
Also, plain links to pictures on other websites are not allowed, if you have a picture which can be used freely, please upload it onto Wikipedia itself.
70.160, you did a lot of work here to improve this article, maybe there is a way you could put your suggestions here so we can make them work? Or maybe you can make your changes one at a time so we can all be sure it fits with the way Wikipedia works? I'm sorry that I just removed all your work, please keep helping out so that we can make this a good article! Franamax (talk) 07:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Malacca Sultanate

message: The early history of the Sultanate here is poor, giving information which may not be very accurate or even true. There are other sources, and should be added so that a better picture can be presented. There are a lot of the history which are uncertain (for example how many rulers they are - different sources give different number and names), and the article should not present them as clear facts. Hzh (talk) 00:32, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need to rewrite early history 

message: So the only acclaimed historian I can find so far using the term empire to Malacca is Peter Borschberg from NUS. So while I think we can use the term, it should be used sparingly as its still not a conventional term in books/journals. Its usually called Malacca Sultanate and not Malaccan Empire even though I think its still technically correct. I changed the short desc since the editor is still correct in saying that it's not just on the Malayan Peninsula, just my thoughts on this. I removed bits that mentioned empire but I won't be averse if someone would include it sparingly and in the correct context  Danial Bass (talk) 09:55, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why 6° increments? 

message: The various images for astronomical twilight don't seem to match the description.  The description seems to imply that it is "basically fully dark", differing from true night-time only in that some of the very faintest phenomena will be hidden. But the images seem to be showing a much brighter sky.  I'm particularly suspicious of the "Astronomical twilight in Goa" pic in the gallery, as the actual description of the picture doesn't say anything specifically about astronomical twilight.  In fact, the description of the pic says that it was taken at 12 January 2011, 18:43:18, which according to this calculator should be after twilight has ended, so I would expect the sky to be even darker.  Am I misinterpreting something, or are the pictures and/or their descriptions incorrect? Iapetus (talk) 15:43, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Astronomical twilight: Descriptions vs. images 

message: I'm suspicious of the second image (at right) at the "Astronomical twilight" section. It appears to be an underexposed photograph of a civil twilight rather than an astronomical twilight, especially because no stars can be seen and because of the distinct colours.

I also think that 'flaming' might be an old term used by drug users to describe the effects of hallucenogens. I honestly have never done LSD or magic mushrooms, so I wouldn't know.
I always thought the song was about smoking marijuana ("Alone in the clouds all blue, lying on an eiderdown"), and that would
certainly explain the 'flaming' part.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.149.234.180 (talk) 15:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  meanings 

message: For some reason, whoever wrote this article used some shorthand, which I don't think is appropriate for an article page on Wikipedia. But, anyway, the shorthand used is 'b/w' which can mean 'between' or 'black and white'. Not trying to sound stupid or anything, but I am having trouble clarifying the sentence. It is used in the following sentences in the introduction: This U.S. single was released in place of "Apples and Oranges" b/w "Paint Box" which had just recently failed to break into the U.K. charts. It was the first of two U.S. Pink Floyd singles released on the Tower Records label that were not released on a single in the U.K. The other U.S. single not released in the U.K. was "Let There Be More Light" b/w "Remember a Day" (Tower 440). Can someone clarify and fix this? I don't know if the writer is trying to say 'before' (as in the song mentioned coming before another on an album) and used the wrong abbreviation. This is not one of my pages I edit. I just came to this page as I'm listening to Pink Floyd's early music. Thanks so much. CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 08:55, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: :Add any additional comments
* To take a (very!) tongue in cheek analogy, we don't name the Homosexual article to "Faggots" or "C***suckers", or move Lesbian to "Muff divers", even though many people might feel these are more familiar terms. :) The reason is the same:  because homosexuality and lesbianism cover a lot more than just the sexual act, and also labelling such people by reference to their sexual acts is considered derogatory and offensive, and hence POV. FT2 02:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the definitions, it's more like redirecting "gay" to "anal sex". We have had this debate before. The problem is, there is, as a matter of objective clinical and social fact, a subject called zoophilia. Its scope is "affinity and attraction for animals". This article documents it. Bestiality does not have the same meaning as zoophilia either in the dictionary, or clinically, or socially. So the subject matter of zoophilia would be incorrect to list under bestiality. What it sounds like you are asking for is another, separate article, specifically on bestiality, because the material here would be incorrect to put there. But wikipedia policy expressely states that when two subjects cover similar ground, there isn't always a need for both. Thus, as people have said, there are several reasons why it's been covered here instead. FT2 06:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee stated that he was not to return to this article, and that they were not throwing the book at him "this time".
I think you're the same person back again.So the next thing that needs to happen, ShadowH, is either:
:* If you ARE "Ciz" then you need to leave this article and subject NOW.
:* If you ARE NOT "Ciz", you need to say so NOW so I don't ask ArbCom to deal with it.
Either will be okay. Let me know which it is. 
If you post on the subject of zoophilia again, and have not posted a statement that says you are not "Ciz", then I will assume you are and go direct to ArbCom without further discussion that same day.
Apologies for being unsubtle this way, but I think it's important to clear up this possible matter first. The reason for this notice and for not going direct to "Request for Administrator Enforcement" or "Request for Arbitration" is to give you a chance to state your side.
