User talk:Hfwd

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy your stay here and use your editing powers wisely. Feel free to drop me a message at the "talk" link beside my name. Good luck! --Merovingian ↕ Talk 06:06, Mar 23, 2004 (UTC)

Hfwd, your edits reveal a medical background. Care to join the Wikiproject "Clinical medicine"? JFW | T@lk 19:24, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I got the impression you were a doctor. Nothing is "expected" of you, but it would be nice if we could consult you on technical matters. What is your field of expertise/interest/both? There are a lot of biochemistry topics on Wikipedia in dire need of coverage!

AMYLOID! If you're in the UK you're in the Royal Free, otherwise I don't know. JFW | T@lk 23:57, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"talk" in the tagline is something I've set up a long time ago, and I'm not sure how I did it :-). It's done by messing with Special:Preferences - I've replaced my nickname with JFW]] | [[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>. You could simply replace JFW with Hfwd.

Did you know has been updated and a fact from the article Miliaria, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

You're very welcome. I hope you're having a nice time here. --ℛyan! | Talk 02:20, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

Congratulations, short bowel syndrome has been included in the latest DYK update! [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 11:12, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

On ageing as a disease: Well, if it is a disease it's certainly a common one. Some people, such as biogerontologists, think it's a disease. Most people aren't accustomed to thinking of it as a disease. Does a condition have to be called a disease by a lot of people before it actually is one? I doubt it ..it either is or it isn't. The question is, should something that most people don't yet recognize as a disease yet be listed under "diseases" in Wikipedia? Maybe not. It would be nice if a tag could be put on it to signify that it's not generally viewed as one. If you have a problem with it, feel free to delete it. Personally, I don't have a problem with an encyclopedia that reveals minority opinion, as opposed to one that just rehashes information that the general public already knows. Your call. (RJII)

tapeworm infection

I wanted to let you know that I made some big changes to your new article on tapeworm infections. Some of the information was too general, so I fixed it. For example, cysticercosis is caused by the pork tapeworm, and the symptoms, prognosis, and diagnosis are totally different from the symptoms of infection by tapeworm adults. If you want to work together on this article, I'd be happy to. Dave (talk) 01:25, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article tungiasis, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Melasma suprarenale

This article needs editing for style and flow. I've put some of the author's other pages up for deletion, as they did not meet inclusion criteria. JFW | T@lk 19:33, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Wehmer should be asked what on earth he thinks he's doing, e.g. on his talkpage. Entries that are inventions belong on VFD, and those that have factual issues get a {{fact}} tag. If he appears to be pushing a particular view, {{NPOV}} is the word. If he carries on, a RFC may be necessary. JFW | T@lk 18:30, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
