Talk:McGrigors

message: I created this article as a stub, and see that an article with the same name was deleted previously.  If it was the same firm, then I am not sure why that was.  McGrigors is the second largest law firm in Scotland, and surely notable enough for its own article (particularly given some of the much less well known British firms that have articles). --Legis (talk - contribs) 18:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Narrative medicine

message: I see lots of articles on WP about fringe subjects on the cutting edge of human awareness that dont do justice to the subjects. if we cant write about a subject like this using NPOV, then its not ready to be an article. this subject, since a book was written about it, can have an article, i believe. i may try to rewrite it, give it better structure.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 00:48, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  complete rewrite 

message: It seems that this article was previously marked as POV - its issues clearly remain. I am willing to partially rewrite this article or a section of it or provide more specific criticism but will likely do so later in the week. However, I believe that many of its neutrality issues are rather clear and egregious, and so likely I do not need to detail them explicitly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikevcowsky (talk • contribs) 06:33, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Prevention of dementia

message: "The effect of alcohol on the risk of dementia is a J-shape." What is this supposed to mean? I'll have to read the reference to find out, but if anyone else has, please change this. Math-wes (talk) 03:36, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It refers to the shape of the data on a graph where the curve of that data falls below its starting point and then rises to be higher than the starting point; making it vaguely j-shaped.  I.E There is a moderate risk without alcohol, a reduced risk with a light or moderate consumption of alcohol and a high risk with heavy alcohol consumption.

message: Hi, I'm afraid you've confused your groups here, plus you've vandalized this page. The Brothers are not the same group as The Burn Brothers. You may want to create a separate page for The Burn Brothers. In doing so, however, please do not vandalize others' work. As required by Wikipedia, I'm issuing you a warning not to do so. If you persist in doing so, I will advise the Wikipedia administrators.

Talk:Van Halen 2007–2008 North American Tour

message: They're calling it Fall 2007, but it runs into Winter 2008. (The Elfoid (talk) 12:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it definitely needs to be renamed. Maybe rename it to "Van Halen 2007-2008 North American Tour"? Abog (talk) 06:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I doubt it's a new tour, considering there's only a three-and-a-half week gap, and they're still performing in the same kinds of venues (large arenas) in the same country (U.S.).  Usually it's only a new tour if they change the theme, the type of venues, the country/continent, or if there's a significant gap in time (several months). Abog (talk) 18:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it's all going to be part of the same tour. So, I think probably delete the World Tour 2008 article for now, since it is speculation. And leave this one as is until we hear otherwise. It seems to me that they're just taking off for the holidays before resuming the same tour. Van Halen has taken longer breaks before. I don't see why we need to have three articles about the same tour. Abog 17:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Four Women (song)

message: There's a pretty interesting hip-hop cover of the song by Reflection Eternal, or Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek, which is a hidden track marked in the CD insert as "For Women." Kweli took the lyrics of Simone and built around them, although the music doesn't seem very based on the original except in terms of style. Anyway, if anybody ever makes a "covers" section or anything, they should probably add that one. Peace.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.96.148.51 (talk) 19:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sutton's law

message: I disagree with this definition.  It isn't the most obvious (q.v. "walks like a duck"), the most likely (q.v. hoof beats, "common things are common"), nor the most elegant/parsimonious (q.v. Ockham's razor).  
It is the highest yield, both in terms of veracity and relevance.  
It is why we do ECGs, hCGs, test for fecal occult blood and sometimes limited labs (bedside glucose/hct) on nearly every adult who comes in with syncope.  The most common causes (orthostatic, vasovagal) are not going to be identified by this evaluation, and we are looking several reasonably likely/common life-threatening disorders (e.g. ruptured ectopic pregnancy, massive GUI bleed, cardiac dysrhythmia, AMI, hypoglycemia, ruptured AAA, SAH) because that's where the money is.
Also consider the complaint (or worse, solicited response to someone asking if it is) "worst headache of their life".  Every SAH I have seen where the person could still speak was having a wicked-bad headache. 
Of course, nearly everyone who walks in to the ED with this complaint has a migraine/cluster type headache or the garden variety viral meningitis (the self limiting echoviral type--not the herpesvirus, equine encephalitis, or rabies type).  
Sutton's law says we need an LP (usually after CT, maybe even repeating LP in a while if <6 hours of symptoms)--rules out the bad things (bacterial meningitis, SAH, pressure problems, and more serious viral/aseptic meningitis).  
Since most of these people (with either benign or odious etiology) also have significant nausea/vomiting, and we know that usual therapy for migraines makes some people with SAH feel better (and I have also seen marked symptomatic improvement in viral meningitis as well), we also give them a dose of a phenothiazine or butyrophenone at the same time, since that is where the money is.
So, it also isn't just diagnostic, as the same approach applies to therapeutic decision making (also think about patients with CHF, HTN, DMII, ASCAD, ESRD, COPD and pulmonary hypertension--these all too common--where you invoke Willie's wisdom with every episode of severe dyspnea/hypoxia).

Category talk:Medical terminology

message: I'm confused by two aspects of the "Category:Medical terminology", namely:
#Why its several subcategories don't include one for an enormous list of terms, to wit, "Category:Surgical terminology".  For example, we do have a list article for the many "-otomy" terms, which would possibly (probably?) be better served by belonging to such a category.
#More fundamentally, why we have any "Category:<foo> terminology" at all, given that:
*The articles in "Category:<foo> terminology" will almost certainly belong to a "Category:<foo>" as well, and
*Any article that merely defines the meaning of a term in "Category:<foo>" quite obviously is a candidate for transfer to Wiktionary instead.
So I guess I'm asking whether every "Category:<foo> terminology" is an instance of over-categorization, which I believe we want to avoid.
To me, the gold standard for the existence of any (reader-facing) category is that it helps the reader find articles that interest them.  (I do understand that some, tho' relatively few, cats may exist solely to ease the task of administering articles, categories and projects.)
I'm also posting this section to "Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories".  Yoyo (talk) 01:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Doctor Who logo

message: I dont understand... It is an article about the logo of a television program not a group or person? Mrmccollough 19:11, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A whole article abotu the logo itself probably isn't needed; rather, information about the logo can certainly be aded to the main Doctor Who page. Wizardman 19:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

text: But there was nothing on the logo on the page, so it doesn't decrease the Kb. Other things could be split, but an article on the logo of one tv series is not encyclopedic. --OZOO (What?) 20:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The Afd closed as no consensus but it also could have closed as a merge or a transwiki. The merge was suggested to both Doctor Who and History of Doctor Who with the history article having substancial support, both of these options have size considerations. The alternative was to transwiki to TARDIS wiki, this was suggested late in the discussion and didnt obtain anything in response to the suggestion. Closing the AFD as no consensus has left the options open to be resolved by the editors of this article, a renomination could reasonably be expected in the future if issues raised in the afd arent addressed.

thread_title:  Merge / transwiki 

message: Seeing as Wikipolicy bans the use of images in this context, it rather renders this article useless, don't you think? 23skidoo (talk) 06:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I note also that there is now a Doctor Who Logo article on the TARDIS wiki (). It was created on 20 Oct 2007, the day after discussion ended on this article. It is also much better written than this article, contains images for all logos and was created by Mrmccollough, who was the main apologist for this article. I would therefore support a proposal for deletion of this article. Perhaps to ensure consensus we could make sure there is a link on an appropriate wikipedia page. I suggest History of Doctor Who. (I would propose deletion myself, but haven't done such a thing before and might mess up.) Klippa (talk) 01:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Follicular dendritic cells

message: I think it is not a good idea to say they "share appearance and function" with dendritic cells. they have dendrites and present antigen to lymphocytes, but that is where the similarity ends. they present a totally different antigen to a different type of lymphocyte in an unrelated manner, they are not really related to dendritic cells despite the similar morphology and confusing name and they are not considered a subtype of dendritic cell.--KX36 (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:American Agriculture Movement

message: What is missing here and in Tractorcade is the Background section for the motivations for the attempted organization of Farmers, and the farmer's "march" on D.C.. What were the farmers organizing for? What was the Tractorcade protesting? The Tractorcade page mentions that the protestors left D.C. when Carter promised to stop the foreclosures. Is the present text sufficient to imply that the rash of farm foreclosures was the reason for the AMM and Tractorcade? Is that implication accurate?  Yes, there was a rash of farm foreclosures, but that is not sufficient, IMO. Why was parity an issue? IIRC, farmers had leveraged on their property value at first to expand operation, then to finance operations in following years of low yields and low prices. Real estate interest shot well over 10% and land prices collapsed, and underwater farmers were foreclosed on. This would not be easy to do accurately; a start at least would be to chart foreclosure rates in the 70s and 80s. IveGoneAway (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Nicholas D. Wolfwood

message: Regarding the meaning of Wolfwood's 'middle name' (alternately stated to be other things, e.g. 'Dangerous', by the creator)- the previously referenced source, providing Nightow's 'Creator Comments' from the Puff Magazine interview, doesn't in fact state that it means 'Daily Cigarette Intake'; this can clearly be seen at the link to be a separate 'question' with its own answer; Nightow doesn't provide a meaning since he knows the people interviewing him would understand what it is, namely a Yakuza threat, as explained here: http://myanimelist.net/character/722/Wolfwood_Nicholas_D. This misunderstanding seems to have been prevalent online for years now, always stemming from that same page and whoever it was first misread it back then.

Talk:Aegipan

message: Since you feel the need to include one of those worthless subsections aspergeroidally listing trivial pop-culture references because no Wikipedia article is complete without one, but unfortunately the only post-medieval example you can think of is a casual mention of the word in a Poe story that doesn't involve classical mythology at all, might I suggest that you add Arthur Machen's tale "The Great God Pan"?
At one point somebody examines horrifying drawings of "Fauns and Satyrs and Ægipans" which he later discovers were drawn from life by someone who had actually met the mythical servitors of Pan. I consulted this entry because I was reading that tale and I didn't know what ægipans were. Although they don't directly appear in the story, it establishes that they really exist and take part in orgies too terrible to describe involving some of the main characters. Isn't that a better example than a story in which they feature only as an item on a list of things a certain person likes to read about in very old books? 31.51.234.243 (talk) 15:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
