Talk:Periodic paralysis

message: I thought when I first came across the title that it was about the type of paralysis I have, which is brief and transient. But it turns out it's its own disease. Oh well. So how does hyperthyroidism lead to temporary paralysis? - Cyborg Ninja 10:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that depends on if you have thyrotoxicosis or TPP (thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis). Extremity weakness often accompanies thyrotoxicosis, along with cardiac symptoms. In general, thyrotoxicosis leads to hypokalemia. This decrease in serum potassium prevents the Na+/K+-ATPase from properly maintaining ionic gradients and establishing the resting membrane potential (RMP). Thyroid hormones also modulate the levels of many ion channels. This along with aforementioned RMP alterations leads, presumably, to gradual depolarization to the point where voltage-gated channels can't recover from inactivation, at which point you're in a world of suckage. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis works in essentially the same way, though with and underlying channelopathy instead of concomitant thyrotoxicosis. If you want to know more about TPP you can contact me via email (from my user page). --Dpryan 19:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Finally, somebody is acknowledging that potassium isn't a "cure". Why can't docs understand that it's a cellular distribution problem? I have Periodic Paralysis but did not improve from potassium therapy, and nothing else has been done thus far. I am now 30 years old and have permanent muscle weakness. I am taking this page to my doctor pronto. Thank you.

Talk:Emergency service/EL

message: Hi Gunnar
I added a link to the emergency services page and some other pages related to emergency services, which you have since deleted as a spam or commerical link.
The link takes people to the international index of emergency service site which allows emergency service worker share expertise.  I realise on reflection that I should have put my added article in a bit more context although I feel the link was as relevant as the NREMT which appears within wilkipedia on a number of pages and is as relevant to the link I inserted.  The only difference between many of the link are they are American based and the other is not, this is the case of the Index link, which caters to a broader population than the US.
There was no intent to spam.  I will re-think about how I should write an additonal piece so it can not be view as an "advert".
I am happy to discuss this further and comply to your rules.  I am sorry if this has caused some distress.
In conclusion I think my addition to Emergency Services should be re-considered and the link is relevant to all who work in emergency services.  If the link I proposed is considered inappropriate, then organisations such as commerical builders of ambulances (which appear on the ambulance page) and the National Register of EMTs should also be removed to ensure equity.
Look forward to further discussion

: The NREMT is an established registry established by the American Medical Association, and many other established organizations, founded after recommendation by a presidential commission. If you have a comparable international association link, feel free to link it, but discuss link inclusion on the talk pages of the relevant articles, and I suggest trying to get your link accepted to Paramedic first, without trying in other articles.
: Your website seems like one of many catalogue services, and it is not scheduled for publication untill 2007. I did a search for some selected high-population countries without finding any people. On closer inspection, I see that sending an application costs 100 USD minimum, which is expensive for what is only a resume database — a service that is usually free of charge for resume-holders. First-year membership in the AMA, for example, is 210 USD, but that is a full proffesional association, with lobbyists and lots of member activities. 
: If you can find a better international site, I'd be happy to see it included. Thank you. --GunnarRene 09:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Dion did a music "video" of The Wanderer, 20 years before MTV came along. I've seen it once, on some talk show that had Dion on as a guest. It was in color and he was singing on an airplane with dancing stewardesses. (They weren't flight attendants back then.) IIRC, he said the record company didn't think films like that would catch on so they put it on a shelf... Would be interesting to know what those guys were thinking by 1982.

Talk:Joseph Andrews

message: This is a terribly outmoded statement that would have been suspect in the 1950s and should simply be deleted. How can Joseph Andrews be one of the first novels in the English language when even the most conservative critic views Defoe as a novelist, and he was writing novels in 1719? English novels exist in the 1680s, and even earlier. A novel published in 1742 is not one of the first! Moreover, this entire article is riddled with inaccuracies and comes across as written by a person with no background in 18th century novel studies. It is very, very bad. I do not have the time to correct it, but someone needs to correct it or to put a disclaimer above it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.177.236.160 (talk) 15:43, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing up a few of the inaccuracies, and I will concede that I know little about the print culture of the day, so please do add something. However, you have the wrong end of the stick on the other point, and seem to be misreading pretty standard rhetorical devices at face value. It shouldn't be necessary to punctuate every sentence with 'perceived,' 'supposed,' or 'in Fielding's opinion,' but I've added a couple where there was the most ambiguity.Alanmlny (talk) 05:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Four Musketeers (1974 film)

message: I'm sure the source is the movie itself and anyone who is willing to watch it can prove everything said to be true. If I knew how to reference movies on here, I would. No other website gives info detailed enough, and if info from wikipedia must be obtained from another website, then that makes wikipedia useless for people who haven't seen the movie but still want to talk about it, in the case that no other website has that info. It's funny how wikipedia strives for accuracy, yet my history teacher didn't trust it cause it said Hitler was born in 1945, which in reality was the year he committed suicide. This article was even categorized as a stub. It needed an accurate plot summary, and I was probably the first person in the world to write a plot summary for it (not counting the ones who planned it and wrote the script). I made sure every little detail in it was accurate. If another person watches the movie, verify the accuracy of the plot summary here on discussion page. Deleting the plot summary will transform it back into a stub, so whoever tagged it here is torn between their obsession with getting info from other websites (which is a serious weakness if no other websites exist) or how utterly useless stub articles are. Hopefully they pick the right path. Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 03:03, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I didn't add the Notability|biographies template, but let's discuss it. WP:BIO says "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." At present we have citations of coverage by Cynthia Karena and Liz Tay focussing primarily on Waugh, together with Rodney Gedda on Waugh Partners business activities. Where is the notability problem here? Reliability or independence? (I am not committed to the POV that Waugh is notable, but anti-notability arguments also need to make their case.)

Talk:Ohio State Route 67

message: Regarding this reversion, I can definitely see how, out of context, it looks like it's only being used as a shield. However, it is consistent with the signs the county posts for its county and township highways (blue for state, green for county, white for township).  As in several other Ohio counties, the county and township routes are marked by route shields that double as street name signs. But unlike those other counties, Wyandot County doesn't seem to refer to them as "shields" per se, as far as I can tell from a quick search. So I've modified the caption to just refer to it as signage. There's plenty of precedent for road articles being illustrated with street name signs. I hope this addresses your concerns. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 06:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure it's worth adding the image to the article. I had to really hunt for these signs in StreetView.

message: Japanese phonology is relevant to the discussion of Conan Doyle's supposed misspelling of the name, because the art is represented in the Holmes stories as being Japanese in origin; "Bartitsu" couldn't be a Japanese word and couldn't be the name of a Japanese martial art.  The article's uncited speculation about how he "was vaguely aware of Bartitsu and simply misremembered or misheard the term" is no more relevant than that.

How is this relevant to the description of the station? This is supposed to be an encyclopedia article, not a press release or news feature. While it is indeed highly unusual for a President to attend an opening of a metro station, especially the one that is obviously not considered any priority, it still does not reflect on the station as such. The fact could be mentioned in the misc section at the end but not at the very beginning of the article as if it is almost more important than the station itself. Opinions?--Sascha.

Talk:Petty cash

message: In the film "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, there is $3,000 available in petty cash. As the movie takes place in 1990, that would be $4745.539177657099 in 2006 real dollars. This is based on the April 1990 consumer price index of 128.9 and an August 2006 CPI of 203.9. 
However there is some abiguity here. During a scene in the movie the date of an office computer is displayed as March 22, 1989.
(IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101757/)
Using a March 1989 CPI of 122.3 the real dollar value is $5001.635322976288.
However if we discount this as a "goof" but instead used the Producer Price Index as a measure of inflation the value is $4142.248722316865. (April 1990 PPI of 117.4, August 2006 PPI of 162.1).
Suppose we were to assume that this money was used to purchase several barrels of oil... its worth in August 2006 would have been $11305.28148578062. (http://www.ioga.com/Special/crudeoil_Hist.htm)
