2009-02 fires and heatwave

Hi Camw. I thought I did provide an informative edit summary. I wrote something in the Talk page too and will continue this discussion there. Robin Whittle (talk) 02:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I support Camw's revert (But shouldn't have been treated as vandalism as it's not) as the content you added was original research even though you used images as sources. You should wait until the BoM releases it's report of the fires which could be a few weeks or a few months time. Also the ground movements of the fires can't be supported by the radar images as the radar is only seeing the smoke from a few 100 metres above the ground were the wind direction is lagged (IE: SW change can move though on the surface but can take a few minutes to a few hours to change above the surface) and also major fires do create there own weather (as what was proven with Canberra back in 2003) by making it's own winds as well as thunderstorms which is what happened. But as I said it's best to wait to have a written report then trying to base it on images. Bidgee (talk) 02:08, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Bidgee, thanks for replying on my behalf, you are right that it should not have been treated as vandalism but I do not think I treated it as so. Looking at the edit, Robin you are justified in saying that the edit probably should not have been reverted without further discussion/explanation and I'm sorry if I have put you offside. I may have been a bit too quick to judge the edit as this article has undergone serious frequent changes and vandalism (not yours). Camw (talk) 03:33, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

2009-04 Inge King

Hello Robin, by accident I saw the image that was made from Inge King's work Rings of Saturn. For a year now I create articles on leading sculptors from the Netherlands and internationally (like Australia's Meadmore) on nl.wikipedia. Unfortunately the article on en.wiki is illustrated by some other works from Inge King, which are not free for other wikis than en.wikipedia (Fair Use). Strangely enough there is freedom of panorama in Australia and the Fair Use Template is totally unnecessary. However the images cannot be transferred to Wikimedia Commons.

Robin, is there a possibility that you or somebody else make photographs of some other works by Inge King and upload them directly to Wikimedia Commons? I should be very grateful and hope to hear from you. Greetings from the Netherlands,--GerardusS (talk) 07:16, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi GerardusS, Thanks for your your message. I am glad you have used the "Rings of Saturn" image on http://nl.wiki.x.io/wiki/Inge_King. You have a more complete list of her public works than we have at http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Inge_King . I have some photos of Forward Surge but I need to choose one and try to find one without people in it, or without too-detailed images of people. I will take a photo of Sun Ribbon next time I am at Melbourne University. Likewise the Shearwater sculpture in Southbank (south of the main central business district of Melbourne) and some others: Sentinel by the Eastern Freeway and one of the Rings of Jupiter at the National Gallery of Victoria. I will mention any new images here. Please email me (rw@firstpr.com.au) - I don't always check this Wikipedia page, so email is the best way to communicate.

2009-05 Listing articles contributred to

Hi Robin. Links to articles on en.wikipedia or Commons should not be external links. I have made a simple example on your Userpage of how to list the articles you have contributed. Please delete my contribution if not wanted. Greetings, Gerard.--GerardusS (talk) 06:37, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi again Gerard, thanks for doing this. I removed the old way of linking and am keeping the better way you did it. Cheers Robin Whittle (talk) 07:33, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Robin, thank you for listening. I gave my response in a new subject in order to get an index on top of the page. Greetings, Gerard.--GerardusS (talk) 07:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Redshift

You were previously involved in a discussion on this article which has resurfaced. Since you appear to still be active on wiki, I thought you might be interested in commenting.Landed little marsdon (talk) 10:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Refs go after punctuation

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

1. Use high-quality sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed.
2. Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
3. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
4. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
5. Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
6. Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
7. Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
8. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
9. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
10. Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
11. Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us. Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

Thanks Doc James. I moved the references in my changes to the Pathophysiology of hypertension article.
