Talk:Craig retroazimuthal projection

message: Who Craig was came from The Correct Qibla, and that's about all it was good for. It's an odd thing, pointing out a bunch of mistakes "everyone else" makes, dismisses Craig as distorted (which it is, but not as much as Hammer), and ends up advocating a projection (azimuthal equidistant) showing direction from Mecca  as showing direction to Mecca!! (To get the direction to Mecca one would have to measure the angles formed by the radius with the graticule lines, and then try to account for nonconformality. It would not be my choice.) I guess you can be a  member of ACM and NSF and still mess up. 142.177.125.172 21:57, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.
The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.
Please discuss agreement or objections over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you.

Talk:Hydrocortisone

message: There is already a cortisol (which is a synonym) page. What to do with it ? One of them should probably be a link. Mykhal 22:00, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The infobox states that that hydrocortisone is a POM in the UK, which is incorrect. It's certainly possible to buy 1℅ topical HC cream from pharmacies without a prescription, and I suspect the regulatory position is similar to Australia.

thread_title:  question: why do we use IMF data over World Bank and UN data? 

message: There has been serial vandalism of the economy pages for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Japan, Malaysia and Morocco. The vandalism has involved repeated reversions of correct GDP data from the IMF 2023 GDP (nominal and PPP) estimates--the citations are never changed, just the figures and the denomination. For example, Germany's IMF 2023 nominal GDP estimate is USD$4.308 trillion; the edits changed it to EUR and increased it to €5.011 trillion. I have reverted these changes, all made by the same unregistered user (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A00:23C5:980:B601:991F:665A:31CA:ECA4).

Talk:Left-wing politics/Archive 2

message: Within Left-wing politics#Leftism, Pacifism and "War on Terror", I've now edited sections Background and Immediate reaction to the attacks to a point where I feel I no longer have a POV dispute about them. Cab88, do you still have POV issues about these sections? And MathKnight, do any of my edits in these sections raise POV issues for you? Assuming you are both happy (and unless someone else wants to weigh in), I think we can agree that the dispute is now confined to the sections currently entitled Anti War movement and Criticism. -- Jmabel 23:23, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
I hope my recent edits down to and including the list of various reasons for opposition to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq will prove relatively uncontroversial. MathKnight, Cab88, can we agree that we are out of NPOV territory down through that, or are there things I've introduced that you consider a problem? -- Jmabel 01:43, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)

message: Like almost everything in Wikipedia, this article could get more work, and like a lot of articles it could probably use some refactoring, but I think we are now out of NPOV-dispute territory. My edits sufficiently satisfy the issues I raised to bring it within the pale as far as I'm concerned. MathKnight, is it also OK by you? If so, feel free either to respond here or just to kill the NPOV label on the article, and we can take it from there like any other (controversial) article. -- Jmabel 02:06, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)
: As far as I concern, yes. But I'm intending to add the "criticism" part a section that will deal a little with European left and anti-war movement. The Maariv article that I translated may hint was it is the main criticism is going to be. However, I want to wait a while until I can hear more comments of European locals, mainly from France, on the article and the Filipetti affair. MathKnight 17:20, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Guaifenesin protocol

message: I have attempted to improve the NPOV of this article in the following ways: 
# Moving the criticism below the description in the lead
# Instead of saying that the study "rejected" the protocol, saying that the study "cast doubt" on Guaifenesin (since the study covered only guaifenesin use).
# Changed from saying that the theory "remains strictly theoretical; there is no conclusive evidence. . ." to that it "remains theoretical; there is no clinical evidence. . ." 
I also added a ref to St. Amand's rebuttal. I hope this article now simply presents the facts, as can be agreed on by both proponents and opponents of the protocol. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have moved the NPOV pendulum a little further than "cast doubt on Guaifenesin", but not so much that worth getting fussed over - so seems fine :-) David Ruben  Talk  14:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no evidence for the efficacy of the guaifenesin protocol.  The single, quality, double-blinded clinical trial, overseen by St. Amand, himself, was completely negative.  Only after the trial came out negative did St. Amand come up with the trace salicylate idea.   So, yes, to be NPOV, the pendulum needs to swing a bit more away from, for example, calling it a treatment for fibromyalgia. Desoto10 (talk) 03:36, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
