| You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:31, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |

Wikipedia Stories Project[edit]
Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know anyone with whom I should speak.
Thank you for your time,
Victor Grigas

/* Mashadar */[edit]
Is there some way to get the word spoiler in there before the sentence with balefire in it? I didn't know that particular plot point, so when it was included in the short description it caught me off guard and ruined some of the book series for me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.57.30.144 (talk) 15:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- I apologize for the inconvenience of the matter but according to Wikipedia's spoiler policy, that content has as much of a right to be there as any other content and should not be treated differently. Peter.C • talk • contribs 17:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Gunshot wound to liver.jpg[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:Gunshot wound to liver.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —Yutsi Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 17:37, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
File:Gunshot wound to liver.jpg[edit]
Declined the speedy deletion tag per your comments at talk. I'd advise you to tag such images with OTRS pending in cases like this. I'm leaving a note at the OTRS noticeboard; a volunteer will either confirm permission or delete it because permission doesn't exist. Nyttend (talk) 18:17, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- OTRS agent Madman says that the ticket in question (2008050410003261) is strictly applicable to File:Pulmonary contusion.jpg and doesn't give permissions for any other images, so I've had to delete the gunshot image. Nyttend (talk) 20:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
DYK for Damage control surgery[edit]
 | On 10 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Damage control surgery, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that damage control surgery is often performed in a heated operating room to combat hypothermia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Damage control surgery. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

DYK for Pancreatic injury[edit]
| On 30 September 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pancreatic injury, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that while pancreatic injury is less common than other abdominal injuries, its diagnosis can be very difficult due to the location of the pancreas in the body? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pancreatic injury. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

WM:MED[edit]
Hi Peter. I've got a couple of questions about the bylaws. I'm not sure if they're interested in offering that kind of advice but, if they are, could you possibly run them by your folks? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:02, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Peter. I've mentioned one more amendment here. Is there any chance your folks could suggest something? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 20:27, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

trauma scales (removed)[edit]
The trauma page had the sevirity scale that is used by MDA , Hatzalah , Israeli MEDevac and private EMS yet you have reverted that.
The information had been taken from :
- scale defenition page 5 (defention for injury scale) that is defently a WP:RS
- Israeli center beru of statisics referning that scale in traffic acidents
- Mako news agency (which can be counted as WP:RS).
- Dr. A. Wiveser answering for defenition of severity scale in a medical forum
- the hebrew page for trauma page

- http://www.cbs.gov.il/reader/Milon/Milon_ByTerm_E.html?MyID=225&OnlyFinal=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.226.26.130 (talk) 11:37, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
That scale is an offical scale that is also use by the Israeli CBS (here an example traffic acidents by sevirty of the innjury) and media reporting in Israel
Examples for the media (in the English language using that scale) -
- three others sustain lightly injuries when Palestinian
- sustained light to moderate injuries.
- [3]'Three people died from poisoning cases reported in 2011, while 176 suffered serious injury and 692 suffered moderate injury; 8,384 were lightly injured. The others either exhibited no effects or information is not available about the extent of their injuries.'
- [4] in intensive care with a moderate injury from a shard that penetrated the area near his stomach. Beyar said Batlin and his friend "arrived bandaged and had received reasonable care in Bulgaria."
Yet you have removed that, afaik the rule for non English source is to accept when no other can be found. I understand that my text could language issues and I belive that can be ok, yet to remove an offial scale just becouse it is in a diffrent language and used outside of English speaking countries is a mistake.109.226.26.130 (talk) 11:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 12[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trauma (medicine), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lancet and Human resource (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
