Hi, thanks for uploading Image:Anna Friel.jpg but unfortunately it's not a free image so it has been deleted. The image was licensed under the "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommericial-Sharealike" license. Attribution means if the image is re-used the author must be credited, "Sharealike" means that if it's re-used it must be under the same license (so others can keep using it). Those 2 are fine, but the non-commercial is the hitch. Although Wikipedia is not a commercial website, it aims to be re-usable for any purpose, even if that's commercial so we don't accept images under that license.
Also (but only in the case of this image) it appears to be a screenshot of a tv show, Pushing Daisies. This means that it is copyrighted to the producers of the show and that person on flickr is not allowed to release it under a Creative Commons license.
- On flickr, the only images that can be used for Wikipedia are those showing these (or just one of them)
.
- The images that can't be used are copyrighted or show either or both of these
Thanks for taking the time to upload photos, Wikipedia needs more images, it's just a shame that more people don't freely license their work. :) James086Talk | Email 13:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there
Just dropping a note to say that I have responded at my talk page. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 11:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Cocaine revert
Medos, thanks for paying attention. However, it seems to me that lidocaine and procaine are in fact distinct from cocaine in terms of their chemical structure and thus their naming and the class of molecules to which they belong (outlined in Template:Local anesthetics), but I'll bow to your wisdom as a pharmacy student. The explanatory link you gave me to emedicine is dead, but I believe I found the same article via google, which explains the similarity based on the amine and aromatic ends nicely. I still think some mention could be made of their chemical difference, especially for lidocaine which has different metabolism, solubility, and allergic potential. My intention with that edit was just to give an example to the lay person, and I think that has merit. Thanks again, this is a stimulating discussion.- Draeco (talk) 19:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Chlordiazepoxide revert
You reverted deletion of mouse sperm toxicity at doses of 80mg/kg. This is not agreed as relevant toxicity of the substance. See talk page: Clutter. 70.137.178.160 (talk) 21:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Clonazepam revert
You have reincluded a claimed relation to quinazolines, which is irrelevant to the pharmacology of the substance. It is a spurious association from being investigated together with quinazolines in the ref. You are vandalizing the article. 70.137.178.160 (talk) 21:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
POV pushing, heavy POV pushing
You have accused me of POV pushing, because I removed vandalism, namely inclusion of false and irrelevant citations. What would be my point of view? One citation says really something else, the other on is a rat experiment, but no agreed fact, and should not be included in an encyclopedia. 70.137.178.160 (talk) 20:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Anon user
Medos, I think that you have been following the problems with the anon user from the residential unit. They started criticising my edits again and the argument has started up again. When is this person going to get banned??? You seem to know administrators. What can be done? Check out the temazepam talk page. I am cracking up with frustration.--Literaturegeek (talk) 10:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Medos, see: we resolved the dispute. I like the Chlordiazepoxide page now. Why so complicated? (The crazy anon) 70.137.138.242 (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
That's really good. I hope you don't get too bothered over the reverts I did earlier. It wasn't meant to be too personal. It's just that I wanted things to be gone over properly. Hopefully no hard feelings. How do you mean complicated? I don't quite follow. Medos (talk • contribs) 08:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
complicated, because in the course I became the crazy, raving lunatic, pro-drug, psychotic, drug-impaired Anon-Stalker, suffering from sedative hypnotic abuse, causing impaired judgment. So I would have to be banned, reported, forbidden. (Lynched?) I noticed that the whole discussion is highly polarized around abuse issues. I think I had valid points to make. 70.137.163.38 (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok I hope that you're not trying to quote me in this. I've barely participated in the exchange and I've definitely not accused you of anything other than being somewhat unreasonable during it. I've never used the terms "banned, reported, forbidden lynched" in the context of this discussion. Medos (talk • contribs) 12:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
No, this was a reply to Literature, above, selling me as lunatic troll. I think I had valid points to make, and I have now made them. Thank you for your contributions. 70.137.190.187 (talk) 19:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Please stop ASAP
Pls stop installing scrollboxes on refs; they are specifically disallowed as they don't mirror or print. I'm looking for that guideline now, but please stop and reverse all of them in the meantime. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok will do. Sorry Medos (talk • contribs) 17:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think they look very cool as well, but as per Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Scrolling_lists, we can't use them. Sorry. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the dashed message, Medos; back now with more time (wanted to get them all before they spread like wildfire :-)). I think we got them all? Yes, Tim likes them, too, but they cause problems, so shouldn't be used in refs. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I haven't yet. I did quite a lot. But I'm undoing them. Won't take too long. Medos (talk • contribs) 17:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Just noticed reverting from the other end. Yeah all done now. Sorry for causing chaos. Medos (talk • contribs) 17:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- No chaos, and I'm sorry my message sounded alarming; I just saw how fast you were moving, and wanted to save us all the effort, so I dashed off a fast message to you before I had time to find the guideline :-)) Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
No worries. Cheers for letting me know. I can only progress if I learn from these mistakes. Medos (talk • contribs) 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
- WHO's list of Essential Medicines[1]
- Neglected tropical diseases[2]
- Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?

- Wikimania 2014
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
- Integration progress
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as
) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.- Swedish
Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May. - Dutch
Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie. - Polish
Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
(This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration - Arabic
The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
- Integration guides
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]
