Vfd 2005 Charter Change in the Philippines?
So, are you ready is we go ahead with deleting? I'll investigate according to policy. Regards,--Jondel 06:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Guidelines for writing the Ethnic Groups of the Philippines Article
Noypi! We're discussing guidelines in writing the Ethnic groups in the Philippines article in the Tambayan. Would appreciate your inputs! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:TAMBAY#Guidelines_for_writing_the_Ethnic_Groups_of_the_Philippines_Article--Nino Gonzales 14:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll join and input, when I am certain and already sure. Ethnicity has many definitions, and social scientists in the Philippines do not have as many a consensus as I hoped. What is worse is that we have few experts, and ordinary contributors can have alot of misunderstandings. For the meantime, I will just read up what was discussed, and I will ask around. :)--Noypi380 14:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Template:RegchangeRP
Why did you revert my changes? First, I corrected the grammar; secondly, I corrected a hyphen between dates to an n-rule; thirdly, I centred the heading; fourthly, I corrected the presentation so that dates were presented in the correct Wikipedia style (so that they show up correctly according to readers' preference-settings). It's not clear why you object to any of that; perhaps you could explain before reverting again. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:45, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, Lets talk in the talk page of the template. :) --Noypi380 16:47, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Mike Abundo
That was not vandalism, but is actually the truth. Do a search on the name "Mike Abundo" or my full name "Noelle De Guzman" and you'll find some forwarded messages and other blog entries about the uproar in the Philippine cosplay community caused by Mr. Abundo.

That article is quite the vanity article, though. It was created by Mike Abundo himself and in the version you reverted to, he's non-notable. Noelle De Guzman (talk) 14:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, :) --Noypi380 03:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Template:Formula One teams
Hey mate I noticed here you changed "Super Aguri" to "Aguri", "Red Bull" to "RBR" and "Toro Rosso" to "STR" in the team names. Is there a specific reason you did this, because in my opinion it would be pretty difficult for a relative newcomer to F1 to know what RBR or STR stood for if they are looking up the teams. AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 08:16, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed it based on the labels used from an official TV network of F1 during qualifying. Actually, I also saw "Sauber BMW" instead of "BMW Sauber". As I recall the naming of the cars were "STR Cosworth", "RBR Ferrari" "Sauber BMW", and "Aguri Honda", despite the official names of the teams. For example, the car Ferrari is called that despite the fact that the official name is "Scuderia Ferrari Marboro". The reader can just click the link to read more on the details. But if you really believe that it should be changed back, I don't mind. :) --Noypi380 09:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Wiki essays
Hi Noypi!

Do you like essays? I was looking for a wiki in the web where you could write essays (of whatever topic), get feedback from readers the community (just like Wikipedia), and continuously improve the essays; but I couldn’t find any. Would you like to start something like this? Do you think Wikicities would be a good place to put this? I made an FAQ to explain it more:

What are Wiki essays?
Wiki essays are essays posted in a wiki.

What are essays?
According to Wikipedia,
 * An essay is a short work that treats a topic from an author's personal point of view, often taking into account subjective experiences and personal reflections upon them. Essays are usually brief works in prose, but works in verse are sometimes dubbed essays (e.g. Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism (1711) and An Essay on Man (1733-1734). Many voluminous and famous works refer to themselves as essays (e.g. John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690), Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798)).
 * Virtually anything may be the subject of an essay. Topics may include actual happenings, issues of human life, morality, ethics, religion and many others. An essay is, by definition, a work of non-fiction, and is often expository.

What are the differences between Wiki essays and Wikipedia?

 * 1) You don’t need to be NPOV, although you can be
 * 2) Essays don’t have to be verifiable, although they will be more believable if they are
 * 3) Essays can be written in the first person
 * 4) Essays are personal; therefore, changes should only be made by the writer and those allowed by him (who, if he wants, could be everyone in the world)

What are the differences between blogs and Wiki essays?
--Nino Gonzales 01:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Blog entries are (generally) static. Wiki essays receive feedback from readers in terms of content and writing (just like Wikipedia), and could be continuously improved by its author/s.
 * 2) Blogs are (generally) biographical journals. Essays could also be biographical, but perhaps not as commonly as blogs.
 * Sorry... had a wikivacation... I proposed the wiki but I never got a response (I submitted another proposal after which got turned down)... and got too busy to fight for it... I'm sure some smart guy from silicon valley will think of how to make money out of it one of these days... I suppose I could just wait for that... and I'm not sure if there are too many people who write essays for fun and want to get merciless feedback about their writing... hehe... thanks for the support :) --Nino Gonzales 01:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar!

Proposed changes to Status of religious freedom in the Philippines page
Hi, I see that you have recently made a number of improvements to this page. I infer that you may have some close interest in the style/formatting/organization of the page. It seems to me that the page has some stylistic and section-organization problems, though it may be that I just misunderstand Wiki page organization. The root of the problem which I believe I see is the way the References section on this page is used. I propose the following changes: If there is some reason not to do this or reason to do it differently let's discuss this on either my talk page or yours. Barring objections, I will make suchlike changes in the near future. -- Boracay Bill 00:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) rename "References" to "See Also"
 * 2) rename "External Links" to "References" and put a <references/> area in it for footnote targets
 * 3) add <ref> tags where appropriate in the page text
 * 4) if needed, add an "External Links" section containing links which are not footnotes targets
 * 5) physically reorder these sections as Reference, then Exterrnal Links, then See Also

Need discussion and/or some help
Having seen no objection to the above, I began the changes. I made the initial changes in two steps (see the article's History page). The first step was to redo the "References" and "External Lnks" sections and to redo the Estrada vs. Escritor footnoting. I think that went well.

The second step was to redo the prior footnoting, footnote-by-footnote. I ran into trouble here. I began by redoing the Sison footnote and references to it. I thought that went well until I started redoing the Schumacher footnote and references to that one. I soon ran into what looks like a reference to the Sison footnote which I had missed (search the page text for "Constitutions is missing (5)" to see that missed Sison reference). It would have been easy enough to pick that missed reference up, but I then realized that I would be pretty much guessing about which footnote references go with which footnotes as that information is not clear to me from reading the page text. The next footnote reference occurrance, for example, reads "(489)" -- I am not at all certain which footnote that refers to.

So -- the current status is that the task of redoing the references and the footnotes is partially done, and I am doubtful that I can continue it alone with introducing some mismatches between references and footnotes.

Could someone who is familiar with the reference material take a look at this and either finish the footnote revisions or let me know which footnote references go with which footnotes? -- Boracay Bill 06:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll work on it soon. :) --Noypi380 10:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Leaving this mostly-undone page revision in place bothers me. I still have my concern about probably introducing cite vs. footnote mismatches, but I'll go ahead and finish this with my best guess at which cites refer to what footnotes. That will get most of the grunt-work out of the way; correcting mismatches, once those are identified by someone who is familiar with the reference material, will not involve much further editing work. -- Boracay Bill 01:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I've completed the basic grunt work of reorganizing the footnotes into a wiki-style References section. I have no doubt mismatched some cites with the wrong footnotes, and this needs straightening out. See the articles discussion page for more info. Sorry about adding to your workload. -- Boracay Bill 03:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Haha, no worries, and good work. If ever there are any errors, someone will correct it. :) Help whenever I can, and as soon as I find out any errors, I'll fix it. :) --Noypi380 07:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Huh?
Read you response. Exactly, the name change is politically correct as you explain, and worse, has weakened the article beacaue it won't be found. The article rename is simple woeful and will ensure it doesn't get many hits. But if that is what is desired, at least people looking for sensible information on the status of "separation fo church and state" in the Philippines won't look at (and certainly won't be able to find by specific search) the article bizarrely called "religious Freedom" on wiki. I'm not sure this is what you want? In my opinion, this is the effect this renaming will have. You entirely miss my point about China and Iran as contrasts. These are areas where the title the article now has (actually the same as their own State ideologies) is really comic to specialists who know anything about their constitutions which guarantee "freedom of religion" (not). By the way, you imply I am Philippino, and you are not correct. While I largely agree with your judgment on the tendency to bias in Philippino articles, you are wrong about where I come from. I have visited the Philippines, but am an Australian of Causasian background. My speciifc academic qualifications are in Theology and Philosophy, my work is the secular [Australian Broadcasting Corporation] as a religion specialist. This name change for the article is retrograde. My point is that people OUTSIDE the Philippines will not look at this article because its new name makes no proper sense. It is not relevant to international understandings of the debate about what is generally known as "separation of church and state". This is what Americans, Australians, the British, Canadians, Indians, the Irish (just in the English speaking world) call it. The equivalent stands in other European languages as well. I really think you should reconsider this. The point is not to make the article obscure and hard to find after being politically correct so as to avoid offending a muslim minority by using the word "church". They have heard it before. Really, they have. They don't need to be patronised. If you really HAVE TO - call the article "separation of Religion and State" - but even that will not be very searchable online. "Separation of church and State" is the sensible and historic title- particularly in nations like the Philippines where there is a Christian majority. Cor Unum 10:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The constitution of the Philippines guarantees Freedom of religion clearly. Did you also see the infobox in the bottom of the article? :)--Noypi380 13:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Pls read Worldwide view, systemic bias, Neutral point of view, and the series of articles below. Thanks.

--Noypi380 11:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Disputed NPOV
Amusing you should point out the NPOV link. Further to my comments above, I have now read the article more carefully, and frankly it is as far from a neutral point of view as it could be without being downright silly (which it is not). The article is full of anti-Church views which are not based in fact and are  unbalanced. I mean really, the references to Urdaneta are shamefully distorted. He wasn't just a priest- he was one of the worlds' great navigators, and the article merely refers to him as if he was there to subjugate the natives. Talk about black-armband history! Cor Unum 11:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree with all your unfounded, false claims and other comments about me 100%, but I have no interest in responding to you anymore. Is it really necessary for you to raid my talk page too? Be bold and edit articles! BTW the article includes the Filipino Muslims, who are entitled to have their data and POV accomodated and added in the article, irregardless of the Christian majority. :) --Noypi380 13:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Let's vote for Mariano Trias
Hey there Noypi380! I would like to ask for your vote for the article of Mariano Trias in Wikipedia's Article Creation and Improvement Drive.

I believe that this article still needs a bit of clean-up and expansion. I hope you would vote for the article in this link.

Thanks a lot!!! Kevin Ray 08:38, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Blood Compact/Sandugo and Sandugo Festival
Please comment on whether there is a need to make a separate article for the Blood Compact/Sandugo and a separate one for the Sandugo Festival.--Pinay06 08:32, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Best to merge the two, but blood compact english article is a separate article for all blood compacts, even non-Philippine ones. :) --Noypi380 12:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * If blood compacts are separate for all English articles I think they should be separte in this case too. :)--Jondel 07:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. but there is no blood compact yet . :) --Noypi380 10:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all the input, you guys! Sorry, I did not see these until now. My bad...Rest assured that your points will be taken into consideration. BTW, I did a separate article for Sandugo from Sandugo Festival. You might like to post more comments in Talk:Sandugo. Thanks.-Pinay06 06:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, :) --Noypi380 10:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, Blood Compact is a redirect to Sandugo for now ...--Pinay06 19:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Just letting you know that there is now a separate article on Blood compact to encompass all blood compacts, including Magellan-Lapu-lapu, Chinese Kungfu movies, etc. Please feel free to contribute. --Pinay06(Talk•Email) 23:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Garci scandal
Hello! I just read the Hello Garci scandal article. Very impressive! It is well written and the flow is good. I would like to see some more sentences on the results of the SWS and Pulse Asia surveys, too. Maybe just percentages especially on the Net Satisfaction ratings of President Arroyo. (It looks like to me that her net satisfaction ratings have continued to go downhill since. See Social Weather Stations, especially the Media Releases starting 1 July 2005 and 15 July 2005. --Pinay06 06:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. :) On adding survey data, please go ahead in editing it, I would appreciate any contribution you can add to Hello Garci scandal :0 . --Noypi380 11:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I have inserted the following in the Public Opinion section of Hello Garci scandal, as follows:

 * The Social Weather Stations or SWS June 28-30, 2005 Metro Manila poll results yielded that 59% say GMA told the Comelec official to cheat and 84% support full airing of tapes. In the same survey, President Arroyo received a rather poor net trust rating of -31 while the COMELEC's net trust rating was -27.

 * According to the SWS July 12-14, 2005 Metro Manila Poll: GMA should resign, say 62%; or else she should be impeached, say 85%. President Arroyo's net trust rating was still poor at -33. Incidentally, President Arroyo's net trust rating has stayed low (negative) since then.

Please check.--Pinay06 20:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Ingat. --Pinay06 (Talk*Email) 08:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I had to revise previous analysis of Pulse Asia pre-election survey because I just realized I was looking at Table 1 page 2. We need to change or add Table 1 Page 1 because that will show the magic 12 senatoriables as of survey date...--Pinay06 (Talk•Email) 02:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Workday, Inc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pastordavid (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175
Dear ,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  10:33, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Red blood?
Blood vessels in the eye are red. They are red because there is no significant tissue to change or override the color. Scattering is not the reason for blue. Perception problems exist in the mind. Photographs show that veins in the arm are blue, and veins in the region of the sclera of the eye are red. The veins in the arm are larger, with thicker walls. Generally, muscles contain myoglobin, even venous muscular walls. What color is deoxygenated myoglobin? If anyone knows of anyone who has some evidence for the color of deoxygenated myoglobin, I would pay you for it.Anothersamespace (talk) 05:12, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Blue blood?
Blood in normal individuals is always a shade of red, light for oxygenated blood and dark for deoxygenated. The blue color of veins and tissues in cyanosis is due to the light-scattering effects of surrounding tissues. The same scattering effect also causes the blue color of the sky and large bodies of water. Blue is more lightly to be scattered while red absorbed. Deoxygenated blood is prone to this due to its dark color (less red penetrates the tissue). I have edited the article to reflect this fact, where it previously seemed to say that deoxygenated blood was blue. Xiphoris (talk) 08:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't have a formal reference for saying that cyanosis is a sign of choking or asphyxiation, but every AMA reference card or bookshelf medical guide I've seen has referred to that. I'll see if I can track down one of the books, and if anyone else can expand this article or add more references, please do. Jeeves 10:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You're correct. JFW | T@lk  15:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Poisoning
I'm not a doctor but I heard certain poisonous agents cause cyanosis.. cyanide? CO2? May be someone better qualified could put these in the article. 86.144.47.154 23:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Solution/Cure
Is there a solution/cure for this skin discoloration problem?

In a word "Yes." In 2002 I developed cyanosis in my left arm, the first symptoms were a white hand, grey tinge to the knuckle and base of the nails on my hand. Thinking that I was cold I put a long sleeved top on. That was about 3pm. I was working on writing a scientific paper and didn't pay any attention to my hand, arm etc. I reached a point where I could stop about 6pm, and I noticed my left hand palm was a deep shade of red - similar to burgundy. I was puzzled and it was then that I noticed that the back of my hand was coloured blue. My first thought was my watch strap was too tight, so I removed it, only to discover that the blue colour continued under where my watch strap had been, I pulled my sleeve up my arm and as I did so I noticed that the blue colouring continued up my arm. It finally stopped about 1 inch - 25 mm below my left elbow. I was puzzled and sat for a few moments wondering what was wrong. Out of the recesses of my mind the word "Cyanosis" jumped at me. Now I knew I needed help and fast. I ended up in hospital for a week strapped to a pump which pumped 600 milli-litres of Heparin - a blood thinner into me. I had three times daily blood tests and was eventually put on a blood thinner tablet called "Plavix Clopidogerol" which I will have to take for the rest of my life. No one to this day (2013) can tell me what happened but since childhood if I was cut my blood clotted very quickly - had I been living with "thick" blood all my life, I don't know but what frightened me more was being told that if I hadn't sought help that day I would at best have lost my arm at the shoulder and more likely suffered a massive fatal heart attack. So yes there is a solution - thin blood carries oxygen a lot easier than thick blood, the actual cure is raising the oxygen saturation levels. I should have recognised the symptoms having been aircrew in the RAF where the causes, effects and cure for hypoxia is taught, oh and you can also be affected if you venture in to the the high mountains - mountain sickness are all caused ny hypoxia which results in cyanosis. Trust this helps.The Geologist (talk) 15:19, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Blood Colour
Blood is always red, whether that be dark red or a lighter red. How does blood cause this blue effect, known as Cyanosis, if blood is red? I can only presume it is the same reason veins appear blue. Tainted Deity 16:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Hemoglobin (Hb) is a tetramer (4 protein chains + iron) found within RBC's. When the Hb is deoxygenated, I believe it is the iron content within the Hb that causes the RBC to adopt a blueish colour (I could be wrong, just going off my memory).

But reason I am here is at the end of the first paragraph it says "When signs of cyanosis first appear, such as on the lips or fingers, intervention should be made within 3–5 minutes because a severe hypoxia or severe circulatory failure has induced the cyanosis." Should it read hypoxemia rather than hypoxia? Cyanosis is an artefact of inadequate oxygenation of hemoglobin ie hypoxemia. Hypoxia, as is seen in anemia will generally result in pallor (paleness) rather than cyanosis (blueness). I am under the impression hypoxemia is classified as some as a form of hypoxia, so technically it may be correct in some cases, but using hypoxia rather than hypoxemia makes it unnecessarily ambiguous... 49.2.10.223 (talk) 06:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Argyria
How about argyria? It is also about blue coloration of skin. --Hartz (talk) 18:50, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Editing needed
This sentence doesn't make sense:

Also, the more blue the color is more difficult to detect on deeply pigmented skin. Pollifax (talk) 18:13, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Hello, I agree with you. I believe we can rephrase it in the following way: The blue discoloration of the skin may be difficult to detect on people with darker skin pigmentation.Joshua Cho28 (talk) 02:49, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

The need for pictures representing cyanosis in people with darker skin pigmentation
There is a general lack in Medicine when it comes to the appearance of certain conditions such as rashes in the skin of individuals with darker skin pigmentation. In this article about "Cyanosis", it behooves us to provide pictures representing the appearance of cyanosis in people with darker skin pigmentation, in order to better educate the public. Depending on whether it is central or peripheral cyanosis, we can look at different locations on the body: oral mucosa/tongue vs. nail beds respectively.

I suggest using pictures found online. However, I do not know if there are any copyright issues. Furthermore, those pictures are the only pictures available online. Joshua Cho28 (talk) 02:45, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

More extensive editing needed:
I propose the following edits to the headings of this article:

 * Definition
 * Pathophysiology
 * Causes
 * Evaluation
 * Management
 * History
 * Society and culture

Peer Review by WikiProject Student
Good job on the article, Josh! The content is appropriate, up to date, and neutral. Most of the sources are linked correctly and are secondary sources. The content added helped the article to be more complete. Below are some suggestions for improvements.

Lead
 * Please consider including an introductory paragraph to briefly summarize the definition and each of the section for readers who just wanted a concise summary of the article.

Pathophysiology
 * Why does a high concentration of deoxyhemoglobin cause the blood to appear blue? What makes arterial blood red? Perhaps discuss the different factors that affects oxygen delivery to end organs.

Differential cyanosis
 * This section can be difficult to understand from just text and description. It would be helpful if there is an anatomic diagram of the condition. It would help to visualize the PDA’s location relative to the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid trunk, and left subclavian trunk. Also, perhaps it would be wise to explain under what conditions a pressure overload of the right ventricle would occur.
 * Citations are missing in this section

Central cyanosis
 * Citations are missing in this section.

Peripheral cyanosis
 * Citations are missing for some sentences.
 * Why is there an increased concentration of deoxyhemoglobin on the venous side of peripheral circulation causing peripheral cyanosis?
 * Consider restructuring this sentence to be more readable; lay person may not know what anemia is: “Since cyanosis is dependent on the concentration of deoxyhemoglobin, patients with severe anemia may appear normal despite higher than normal concentrations of deoxyhemoglobin, whereas patients with increased amounts of red blood cells (e.g. polycythemia vera) may appear cyanotic even with lower concentrations of deoxyhemoglobin”

Evaluation
 * Maybe expand a bit by explaining which tests should be used for which conditions.

Management
 * This section seems a bit sparse. Please consider talking about different common conditions that can cause cyanosis and discuss management for each condition.

Images
 * Some images are situated in the middle of the article instead of to the side, which can be distracting.

Future Sections Suggestions Checkoutchek (talk) 19:24, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Prognosis/Outcome
 * Special Population – Cyanosis in children and cyanosis in newborn

 * Hello Checkoutchek! Thank you for your review. I have since made some changes in response to your suggestions:

 * Moved images to the right side of the article to improve readability
 * Added citations in the "Causes" section
 * Added a diagram of the heart anatomy to illustrate the pathophysiology behind the effects of a patent ductus arteriosus
 * Modified that long sentence to: "In other words, cyanosis is dependent on the concentration of deoxyhemoglobin. Patients with severe anemia may appear normal despite higher than normal concentrations of deoxyhemoglobin. On the other hand, patients with increased amounts of red blood cells (e.g. polycythemia vera) can appear cyanotic even with lower concentrations of deoxyhemoglobin." However, I did not define anemia as a link to the "Anemia" Wikipedia page was provided.

Thank you very much! Joshua Cho28 (talk) 12:37, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Blue Fugates
Is the condition of the Blue Fugates, who had methemoglobinemia, an example of cyanosis? I don't feel qualified to write a section about them, but it would be interesting to add such a section to this page. SnappingTurtle (talk) 18:27, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

peer Review by wiki project / NMT OMEN Palestine
The main edits in the introduction were linking the medical terms to other Wikipedia pages which made it better.

The origin and meaning of the word cyanosis should've been explained within the 1st few sentences.

The addition of the last sentence is good.

The correction of the “vs” to “and” is right.

he article is relatively clear and organised. However, the history section could've been put earlier after the introduction. Also, there are many bullet points that could've been changed to organised schedules. As for the content, it's also very good but maybe the causes could've been explained simpler. Overall, its balanced, yet I find sections like causes or treatment more important to focus on than the pathophysiology as readers tend to be looking for them. The tone is also appropriate.

There was almost no edits on the References part but the mentioned facts were  appropriately supported with good resources.

The article maintains its original organization. The addition of the new reference improved the content's comprehensiveness. However, the vocabulary remains a bit complex, especially in the introduction and the Evaluation sections. The amount of medical language used may not be easy to digest by the reader. It is also recommended to increase the amount of references to further substantiate the topic.

as we mentioned earlier, the new article doesn't differ much from the original one. Only slight minor changes were done. It could be enriched with further information and citations to become more informative. At the same time, all the minor edits that were done are good and succeeded to make it simpler.

Talk:Domain theory

Conflicting definitions?
"Computations that have not yet returned a result" are *not* "The 'result' of a computation that never ends." Does the bottom in domain theory denote "insufficient information about a computation (that is guaranteed to terminate)" or "divergence, never ends."? These are completely different things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.82.44.193 (talk) 22:00, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

No definition of domain?
The lead of the article alludes to "special kinds of partially ordered sets (posets) commonly called domains", but the article never seems to specify what a "domain" is later on. There is a section about "motivation and intuition", followed by a "guide to formal definitions", but I can't see anywhere a clear explanation of what a domain is. On the other hand, Giez et al. give a definition on p. 54 (a domain is a dcpo that is continuous as a poset). I am not familiar with that field, but would like to get a better idea about it. Shouldn't there be a clear def of domain somewhere in the article? PatrickR2 (talk) 07:55, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Semantic Challenges Could Be Explained In A More Accessible Way
I find the sentences “Such a model would formalize a link between the lambda calculus as a purely syntactic system and the lambda calculus as a notational system for manipulating concrete mathematical functions. The combinator calculus is such a model. However, the elements of the combinator calculus are functions from functions to functions; in order for the elements of a model of the lambda calculus to be of arbitrary domain and range, they could not be true functions, only partial functions.” to be impenetrable. Is LC’s need for a semantics any different from other formalisms like FOL? Can the CC be a model for LC? Why isn’t CC also a “purely syntactic system”? The last sentence is especially difficult, in that the part after the ; is not obviously related to the however part, and moreover makes statements (“could not be…would have to be…”) without explanation or justification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.238.169.75 (talk) 02:58, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Computations and Domains
I would prefer this section to actually talk about the main requirement from Computations, namely that the functions involved be partial recursive, or recursive (when total). Also when are the sets recursively enumerable? Domain theory introduces many mathematical constructs, such as these "compact" elements which are not even finite. So explain the connection with recursion theory to actually connect with computations. RoyMWiki (talk) 17:00, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Melanorosaurus

Melanorosaurus (meaning "Black Mountain Lizard", from the Greek melas/μέλας, "black", oros/ὄρος, "mountain" + sauros/σαῦρος, "lizard") is a genus of basal sauropodomorph dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period. A omnivore from South Africa, it had a large body and sturdy limbs, suggesting it moved about on all fours. Its limb bones were massive and heavy like the limb bones of true sauropods.

Description
Melanorosaurus had a skull which measured approximately 250 mm. The snout was somewhat pointed, and the skull was somewhat triangular when seen from above or below. The premaxilla had four teeth on each side, a characteristic of primitive sauropodomorphs. The maxilla had 19 teeth on each side of the jaw.

Melanorosaurus was around 8 m long, with a weight of 1.3 MT.

Discovery and species
The type specimens, syntypes SAM 3449 and SAM 3450, were discovered, described and named in 1924 by Sidney H. Haughton. They were collected from the Triassic Lower Elliot Formation, dating to the early Norian, on the north slope of the Thaba 'Nyama (Black Mountain) in Transkei, South Africa. The first complete skull referred to Melanorosaurus, NM QR3314, was described in 2007. However, this specimen comes from the Upper Elliot, unlike the Melanorosaurus type material and NM QR1551, rendering its referral to the genus untenable.

Melanorosaurus thabanensis was named in 1993 by Gauffre, based on holotype MNHN LES-16, a femur found in the Upper Triassic lower Elliot Formation. However, a recent review of the material demonstrated that the femur, along with six other bones, can't be referred to the genus Melanorosaurus, and a new combination (Meroktenos thabanensis) was created.

Classification
Melanorosaurus was once classified as a prosauropod, but Prosauropoda no longer appears to be a natural group. According to some definitions of Sauropoda, Melanorosaurus is an early sauropod. However, these definitions also take in many other former "prosauropods", and Adam Yates has proposed a definition of Sauropoda that will specifically exclude Melanorosaurus (Sauropoda as all sauropodomorphs closer to Saltasaurus than Melanorosaurus). This definition would allow Sauropoda to retain its traditional concept.

The following cladogram shows the position of Melanorosaurus within Massopoda, according to Oliver W. M. Rauhut and colleagues, 2020:

Talk:Virtual crime

Untitled
Interesting article, but I think some of the claims need to be substantiated:

"Some countries have introduced laws and special police investigation units to cover such crimes, classing some of them as no different to their real-life counterparts". This looks wrong, particularly the last bit. I accept distinctions can get blurred, but crimes that are purely virtual are qualitatively different from real world crimes and I'm quite sure the Korean justice system continues to reflect this. If real money is being extorted online then that's a crime, if coinage that has no value outside the game is being extorted then it's not (though a different "real world" offence may sometimes apply such as harassment or threatening behaviour)

Similarly "known cases" conflates crime that is virtual (the Korean example) with virtual world events that led to crime in the real world (the China example)--Cjnm 10:42, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the intro may be a little ambiguous. It refers to the legal situation, in that the theft of virtual property is increasingly being seen as punishable in the real world, as per "normal" theft, and not necessarily that the punishment is equal.  As for the known cases example, it shows that virtual crime can lead onto real world crime, something that is certainly relevant. violet/riga (t) 15:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I have adjusted the intro - so that it still says that police forces are starting to take "virtual crime" seriously, but no longer that laws have been introduced to deal with it. There are no examples of the latter in the article as yet—indeed the section on "Ownership" and the Chinese example suggest the opposite. Hope that's OK. --Cjnm 14:57, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Actually, this article, as it stands, is mainly unsubstantiated rubbish.
 * Which is completely referenced. violet/riga (t) 15:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm just going to throw this out there, to see if anybody objects, but a lot of this article is just copy and paste from Virtual economy. It seems like this could probably be merged with that, although to me, that ought to be dependant upon the veracity of the article, which strikes me as a little fantastic. Junjk 15:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This one, virtual crime, that is, is the one that seems fantastic. Junjk 15:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * This is about virtual crime, something common in the news recently and definately on the up. It includes some details from virtual economy simply because that info is required for context.  As more countries follow South Korea's lead there will be more information to go here.  As it is, most of the information will be from that country, and thus not too available in English. violet/riga (t) 15:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Virtual Prostitution?
I can't imagine why an article on virtual crime does not have an entry on virtual prostitution? --YoungFreud 16:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The "Evangaline" case is perhaps the best known one, and I'm still looking for some (more) decent references for it. If you can suggest some, or some for other occurances, then that would be great. violet/riga (t) 17:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That's the big one. I have heard that there was a practice going on before that called, IIRC, "Bomba" in which players would whore themselves out for furniture. I'm currently playing Second Life and I've run across escorts and virtual whorehouses in the middle of nowhere.

 * For more information on the Evangeline case, I'll refer you to the Alphaville Herald interview, now the Second Life Herald. In fact, you might want to read through the Alphaville Herald archives and gather various news sources about it.

 * BTW, would the sweatshops associated with "Chinese Adena Farming" be considered a virtual crime or just a violation of civil rights?--YoungFreud 17:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In-game vs. out-of-game but related to the game...
This distinction is not made in the article. ...after stabbing and killing fellow The Legend of Mir 3 gamer Zhu Caoyuan... is a case that happened out of the game, and so shouldn't be called "Virtual crime", though it was related to the game. Do these police task forces investigate "crime" inside games (ie. a player tricks another into giving them an item, then doesn't pay), or outside games (ie. through eBay)? Confused is I. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 18:46, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * That example is of a virtual crime (not returning the item) leading to a real-world crime. The police forces investigate any calls of virtual crime, and thus both ones you mentioned.  The fact that Zhu sold the sword on eBay is part of the case and thus part of the in-game crime. violet/riga (t) 13:22, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Virtual sweatshops
I mentioned this under the virtual prostitution section as "Chinese Adena Farming", but I've got a source on some of this behavior from this article on 1up.com. One of the leading profiteers is a programmer with the alias Smooth Criminal, who apparently caused the big credit dupe in SWG that lead to getting large number of players banned. Another one was Lee Caldwell, whose company, BlackSnow, employed workers in a Tijuana sweatshop to "farm" gold. --YoungFreud 6 July 2005 23:38 (UTC)

Talk:Henri Milne-Edwards

Author spelling
Should this article be at Henri Milne Edwards? In all the citations I have seen of animals he has named, there is no hyphen between "Milne" and "Edwards". Note that there is also no hyphen in the French Wikipedia's article. --Stemonitis 10:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I saw a hyphen in the citation I was looking at, and found some on google. I don't know for sure though, so I added a redirect at that location. If anyone knows otherwise, they could move the page. --Mathwizard1232 19:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

This statement derived from the Petymol biographies I believe is wrong: " In taxon authorship, the hyphenated name "Milne-Edwards" is most often used for both father and son ". A search in WoRMS shows 1738 records where the author is given as "Milne Edwards" and 208 articles where the author is Milne Edwards (plus some with "Milne Edwards" as the authority name for a species name in a title). Father Henri signed himself Milne Edwards, son Alphonse used Milne-Edwards. The page should thus be renamed as suggested by Stemonitis (I don't know how) Pherusan (talk) 04:11, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Does the Milne element indicate a connection with a French or Belgian resident family of Milnes? If so, which one?94.194.2.204 (talk) 00:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Maine Central Railroad

Untitled
So apparently at some time, the Boston and Maine Railroad owned a majority of Maine Central stock. Does anyone know the details? Did the B&M's 1919 bankeuptcy end that? --SPUI (talk) 10:45, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It some thing to that fact, i will look it up. also where are the refances for this page? Lazarus-long 05:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Does this article really belong under the category "Defunct railway companies of Canada"? CanadaGirl
 * I would suppose so, since the MEC did serve the province of Quebec. Since it regularly did business in Canada and since it's out of business (more or less) I would argue that it does in fact belong in the defunct Canadian railways category.--Foxhound 06:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Portland gauge
I have restored information deleted by reversion on 30 September for the following reasons. Although User:Oanabay04 asserted "gauges were clearly spelled out and linked to proper Wiki pages," existing descriptions were ambiguous and confusingly referential to Indian gauge. Although the Wikipedia article on 5-foot-6-inch gauge is entitled "Indian gauge" in recognition of the magnificent Indian railway system of today, the same article can be reached by the more appropriate redirect Portland gauge. Subsequent references to broad gauge reach the unnecessarily ambiguous article referring to anything wider than standard gauge, while the actual lines involved were all Portland gauge.

The Portland gauge was decided upon in 1848, a year prior to the Indian gauge decision in 1849. Portland gauge was a significant aspect of early Maine Central Railroad development as a manifestation of the competition between the port cities of Portland and Boston, and is an important element in Maine Central Railroad history. It is misleading to assert "confusion" about the action of the Eastern Railroad with respect to gauge differences in support of Boston business interests in their rivalry with Portland.Thewellman (talk) 18:13, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I concur with the above. Centpacrr (talk) 19:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Your point in the second paragraph is excessive detail that the casual reader — who is the target audience for broad articles about an railroad — will get lost in. It is not necessary for this discussion. The Portland gauge ultimately became Indian gauge, which is why the article on Portland redirects to Indian. Plus, the text that was readd is poorly written and needs to be tighter. Purposely reverting an edit to list a term that is going to redirect is considered WP:TE.Oanabay04 (talk) 19:11, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

I propose to restore my edit following User:Oanabay04's second deletion. I disagree with the assertion Portland gauge became Indian gauge. Portland gauge was replaced with standard gauge. Indian gauge is irrelevant to the Maine Central article beyond naming the Wikipedia article about 1676 mm gauge as "Indian gauge" on the basis of modern prevalence. The Portland gauge redirect exists to avoid confusion when describing the 1676 mm gauge railway network historically serving Portland. I would be surprised to find widespread support for interpretation of this use of a redirect as tendentious editing.

I also disagree with the inference reasons for the gauge difference would be beyond the interest and comprehension of readers of this article. I propose to tighten up the wording as suggested and restore my modification of the misleading statement about Eastern Railroad action.Thewellman (talk) 07:50, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Lead Section
I have restored information deleted by User:Oanabay04's reversion on 30 September because without such restoration the article's lead section lacked a reference citation, failed to explain notability, and did not adequately summarize key points of its contents.Thewellman (talk) 18:41, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I concur with the above. Centpacrr (talk) 19:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The lead article is too lengthy and suffers from WP:LEADCLUTTER. Lengthy paragraphs and over-specific descriptions should be avoided, since greater detail is saved for the body of the article (WP:MOSINTRO). The notability is covered by saying it was a former Class I railroad. The citation will be restored, but otherwise, it will be left with the revised version.Oanabay04 (talk) 19:24, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

I propose to restore my edit following User:Oanabay04's second deletion. Two mileage conversions important to understanding notability are the only parenthetical details covered by the cited Wikipedia style definition of clutter. Removing the conversions would sacrifice clarity to shorten the paragraph. The 160-word paragraph is not unduly long, and provides a summary of main line and branch line rail service to Maine cities for elaboration within the article. The most important points covered in the article are summarized in such a way that the lead section can stand on its own as a concise version of the article as suggested by the Wikipedia style manual. I suggest the second paragraph of the lead section should actually be expanded to include a sentence summarizing Maine Central's post-1970 history and present status within the Guilford/Pan Am system. I propose to request a reference citation for the statement about former class I status, since the Peters source was published before that status was revoked.Thewellman (talk) 07:50, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

 * That sounds more than reasonable to me and I support the language's restoration. Centpacrr (talk) 08:13, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Mileage
Thewellman - please explain the source of the mileage you have added. My source say that at the MEC's peak in 1929, it clocked in at 1,121. This is what the MEC owned, not what they leased or operated as a subsidiary (that mileage would be listed in the corresponding RR Wiki entry).Oanabay04 (talk) 19:28, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The source of the mileage figure was cited at both locations as Peters: "By the time the federal government took over the operation of all U.S. railroads in 1917, Maine Central operated 1,358 miles of railroad, the greatest in its history." I don't know why your source indicates mileage peaked in 1929, because operations on the Quebec Division and Belfast Branch had been terminated in 1925. While I suggest your concern about leasing or operating as a subsidiary may be excessive detail for an alleged target audience of casual readers, I might point out leasing and subsidiary operations persisted on the Beecher Falls branch until 1931, on the Bucksport branch until 1935, on the Foxcroft branch until 1939, on the Mountain Division until 1943, on the Rumford branch until 1946, and on the main line east of Bangor until 1955.Thewellman (talk) 22:16, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The source stated is promotional and subjective at best. The author, Bradley L. Peters, was the Vice President of MEC. The book was more of a booklet that MEC executives gave to its stockholders. It was not copyrighted but had a date stamp of 1976. (see link here - trainnet.org). I would not consider this a reliable source WP:NOTRS.

 * The overarching argument is that you are splitting hairs on all arguments and not being objective, a serious problem with many Wiki Railfans. WP:DETAIL accurately describes the level of detail needed for an article such as this. I think you will find that other editors who are not entrenched in the subject as you and Centpacrr are will take a more broad approach and not whittle down to excessive details. If you like to discuss further, I suggest you post a request at WP:DRN.Oanabay04 (talk) 15:08, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't know why you would consider information about the MEC's mileage taken from a publication of that company would be "unreliable". What possible reason would you have to say that? This number is not a "promotional statement" but a simple statement of fact made by the company that is the primary source of the information. On what basis do you claim that your source (presumably "The Historical Guide to North American Railroads") should be considered more reliable than a publication of the MEC? I also find puzzling your implication that editors such as myself who you say are "entrenched in the subject" would not be "objective" which you posit as being a "serious problem among "Wiki Railfans" (whatever that is). I have been a professional writer for more than 45 years, am the author or author/editor of four published books on North American railroad history (which together total over 1,200 pages), the owner and creator of BMLRR.com (an extensive online illustrated history of the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad), and since February, 1999 I have been a principal contributor to the now over 10,000 webpage railroad history internet site, the The Central Pacific Railroad Photographic History Museum. (See here) While I am not an author/contributor of the MEC article on WP, I am certainly entitled to my opinion in support of the position of Thewellman in this matter.

Alan Moore's Hypothetical Lizard

Alan Moore's Hypothetical Lizard is a comic book adaptation of the World Fantasy Award-nominated short story "A Hypothetical Lizard", written in 1988 by Alan Moore for the third volume of the Liavek shared world fantasy series. The story was later reprinted in "Words Without Pictures", a 1990 book of prose stories by comics writers edited by Steve Niles, but then went out of print. In 2004 Avatar Press published the first issue of Alan Moore's Hypothetical Lizard as a comic book adapted by writer Antony Johnston.

The story describes the life of Som-Som, a prostitute in the House Without Clocks - a brothel designed to service rare and exotic tastes. Som-Som has undergone a corpus callosotomy, severing the connection between the two hemispheres of her brain; this, in conjunction with the porcelain mask attached to the right half of her face, and the thick glove on her right hand, destroys the connections between her thoughts and actions. Therefore, she can see and hear, but not speak of or act on, any secrets her wizard clientele may inadvertently reveal in the throes of passion. Consequently, Som-Som can only watch as her transsexual friend Rawra Chin is slowly destroyed by an abusive relationship.

Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre

The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is a museum in the village of Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire, England. Children's and short story writer Roald Dahl lived in the village in Gipsy House for 36 years until his death in 1990.

Overview
The museum was officially opened on 10 June 2005 by Cherie Blair and open to the public on 11 June 2005. It is housed in an old coaching inn and yard, which has been converted into a museum at a cost of £4.5 million. Funding was provided by the Dahl family, Dahl's publishers, charitable foundations and corporate and private donors. The museum houses all of Dahl's main papers: his manuscripts, business and personal correspondence and his "Ideas Books". It also offers regular workshops and hosts events that help to enhance creativity and writing skills. It is run by an independent registered charity.

In 2008 the museum won the "Best Small Visitor Attraction" award from Enjoy England, the website of the country's official tourist board.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Podcasts

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous.

I count 13 "delete" votes and 9 "keep" votes (2 new users, 1 unsigned vote discounted. The delete voters clearly cited Wikipedia policy which explicitly states that Wikipedia is not a list of links.  The keep voters argued that this is merely a "list of ..." article and we have a precedent of accepting those articles.

One could argue that this is a drill-down article from Podcasting - that it provides examples which expand upon the text of the article. Reviewing podcasting, I note that it already has a few examples in the text and, further, that the podcasting article is not so large that additional examples would be burdensome to that article. Talk:Podcasting, however, explicitly talks about the difficulty that they have had keeping the article from turning into a linkfarm (and, incidentally, provides several additional opinions supporting the perspective that a list of links is inappropriate in Wikipedia).

Looking at the current version of the article, I am compelled to agree that this is a list of links, not a list of encyclopedia topics. Every item in the list is linked externally. None are linked to Wikipedia articles.

I am going to exercise my discretion on this one and decide in line with the stricter reading of WP:NOT. Notable or historically significant podcasts should have a Wikipedia article written on them first and then be linked directly into the Podcasting article. Rossami (talk) 22:59, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Addendum: I am explicitly keeping Talk:List of Podcasts because some of the facts presented on that page were relevant to this decision. Rossami (talk) 23:04, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

List of Podcasts

 * Delete This isn't the point of an encyclopaedia. If you aren't convinced by that, also note that it would be impossible to have a meaningful list of podcasts now, you might as well have a list of 'popular TV shows' or 'popular bicycles'. Check 08:24, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Why delete thee? Let me count the ways. WP:NOT a list of links, not encyclopedic, can never be complete and we'll run out of not paper trying to complete it. If someone wants to create a podcast directory, link to it from podcast. FCYTravis 10:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep If i read podcasting and want to find out more, i can go to list of Podcasts and learn what it is first hand. People expect more from wikipedia these days than just an old-fashioned encyclopedia. Wikipedia is used as a place to kick of one's investigation of a topic, and a list of podcasts complete or otherwise helps people investigate the podcasting topic. The bellman 02:05, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep If we're going to delete this list, then we need to delete all other lists on Wikipedia. We can't be selective in what listings we delete and which ones we keep. Do a search on "List of" and you'll see all the various lists that Wikipedia has. I think Wikipedia has the best chance for a NPOV listing of useful and/or entertaining podcasts that places like Google or other Podcast directories just can't compete with. And plus, it's very useful in discovering podcasts that search engines won't have listed. Noah 01:48, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

That is why the listing of podcasts was removed from the main article... so it doesn't dwarf the main article. I have found the links useful. JasonBourne

 * Weak Keep But i also thing there should be a Wikilink...
 * Keep It provides a valuable illustration to the article; why not simply add a title/subtitle explaining it as such? It's the equivalent of adding a movie poster to the article about a movie, except here, the poster is a little too large to be appended to the actual article page.  Throw in a disclaimer saying that this list is by no means a comprehensive list but simply one meant to be illustrative, and I think it's a fine addition. jsomethingk 01:14, 17 June 2005

Image Tagging Image:ST-The AS.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ST-The AS.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.96.252 10:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:ST-The AS.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ST-The AS.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.96.252 10:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ST-The AS.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ST-The AS.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.
