| Dear JW, I think I owe you an apology and an explanation for my comments to you on various pages. If I at times seemed irritated, well....I was. For that I apologize. I really think your basic concern (if I understand you correctly), about providing warnings before blocking, is generally a good thing. Since I lived through the whole thing and it really irritated me at the time, I took an interest in the case and in general regarding fighting sockpuppetry and vandalism. (If I had no special interests here, I'd probably be a vandal fighter. As it is, I do it in a rather haphazard fashion. I wish it were possible to have certain tools without having to be an admin.) My irritation grew out of a combination of having experienced the whole situation, and then seeing you second guessing several editors and admins. I felt it was unfair and improper, and expected it to be more proper for you to AGF since you hadn't gone through all the IP's, username's, and situation's edit histories before asking such pointed questions. Your recent seems to indicate that you are beginning to learn the history and understand what we've all been talking about. But regardless of that, I could probably have worded some of my comments better, and I hope this explanation will assure you that I hold no animosity toward you and still respect you as an editor and admin. -- ] (]) 03:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

| The problem with approach is that it allows (in fact encourages) cherry-picking of positive papers, even if we restrict ourselves to adequately controlled and blinded studies. The test for statistical significance is that there is a 5% or less chance that the result is the result of chance; this means that even for perfectly designed and conducted trials, one in 20 will produce a false positive. When we factor in the poor quality of many studies (see for example Linde ''et al''. (1999) ), and issues such as publication bias and the "desk drawer effect", the occurrence of false positives in published trials is probably much higher than this. Including cherry-picked selections of favourable trials is likely to give a highly misleading impression. The article uses meta analyses and systematic reviews, which include '''all''' the available evidence, to avoid this. This has been repeatedly explained to Avathaar (in his previous incarnation as NoOtherIDAvailable). | |||

| The study discussed in the passage you linked to is meaningless as far as assessing the efficacy of homoeopathy is concerned because it was neither randomised nor blinded and relied on subjective assessment by the patients, so there is no way it can eliminate the placebo effect. Studies of this type are really not helpful. Regards, ] (]) 10:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

| :If you want to include studies of this type in a discussion of the popularity of homoeopathy, fair enough (possibly in the section). But I suspect that Dr. J will want to cite studies as evidence that homoeopathy actually works. My comment about cherry-picking still stands - the article already considers the available evidence as a whole by reference to peer-reviewed analyses and reviews - inserting a few studies with positive results will mean that the article gives a less reliable and well supported impression. ] (]) 14:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :To clarify: I'm not categorically ruling out mentioning any studies that Dr. J suggests; I'm just pointing out that including individual studies will not add any reliable information to the article, since it already refers to reviews of the literature. ] (]) 14:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Your suggestion of putting an individual study up which is claimed to show results for "a homeopathic therapy as performed by trained homeopaths" and comparing this to a study which is claimed not to be representative of homoeopathic practice could give the entirely misleading impression that any negative results are an artifact caused by not following "proper" homoeopathic practice (especially if the former study is anything like the unblinded outcome study you have suggested at Avathaar's talk page). There is no good evidence that this is the case. In particular, a systematic review of trials of '''individualised''' homoeopathy (i.e. homoeopathy as actually practised by classical homoeopaths) shows results that are entirely in line with the rest of the body of homoeopathic research, with a weak effect from all trials (described by the authors as "not convincing because of methodological shortcomings and inconsistencies") vanishing when only those of best methodological quality are considered . Incidentally, there's another relevant point made on my talk page. ] (]) 10:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::The 1998 Linde/Melchart review found a weak positive from all trials presenting sufficient data for meta analysis, but no significant effect when only the best studies were considered. This is clearly stated in the abstract, and even more clearly shown in the "blobbogram" of their results on p. 383 of the paper. The conditions studied in the trials showing sufficient data were: headache (4 trials); diarrhea (2); rheumatoid arthritis (2); recurrent upper respiratory tract infections; pain after oral surgery; warts on hands; fibrositis; post viral fatigue; pre-menstrual syndrome; acne; amebiasis and giardiasis; aphasia; and "dermatoses and the remedy picture of sulphur". The six trials categorised as "likely to have good methodological quality" were two of the headache trials, URT infection, diarrhea, pain after oral surgery, and warts. Of these six trials, 3 allowed completely free prescribing, and the other three involved prescribing from a selection of remedies that are commonly used in the homoeopathic treatment of the condition in question. | |||
| :::Trials were only selected in the review if either a) the prescribers were completely free in their choice of remedy; b) prescribers chose from a set of remedies frequently used for treating the condition in question; or c) the trial only included patients whose symptom picture matched the remedy used. Although it doesn't (as far as I can see) explicitly state that prescription was carried out by homoeopaths, it does note that an "uncommon feature" of one trial was that a team of homoeopaths had to agree on a remedy. I would suspect that "no homoeopath was involved in prescribing" would be another "uncommon feature"; I don't see who else they'd get to do it, and a trial of individualised homoeopathy not using a competent homoeopath to do the prescribing would be widely denounced by the homoeopathic community, at least if it failed to show positive results. | |||
| :::As for your point about "therapy that is only called "homeopathy" by doctors who do not actually practice homeopathy", it is kind of hard to guess what this might look like when you consider the types of therapy that are called "homeopathy" by doctors who actually '''do''' practise homoeopathy. See for example . You will look in vain for any mention of individualised prescribing, serial dilution, succussion, or any kind of homoeopathic approach. The treatment in question is an ointment prepared from a herbal extract. This study was included (on the grounds that the extract fulfilled the criteria for a mother tincture from which homoeopathic remedies could be made) in a recent Cochrane Collaboration review of homoeopathic medicines for adverse effects of cancer treatments, the authors of which included three members of staff at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, one of whom was , who in addition to being "clinical director of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, and homeopath to Her Majesty the Queen" is also editor of the journal ''Homeopathy''. Seeing the sort of studies that are endorsed by the homoeopathic establishment, it is difficult to justify excluding studies because the individualisation/prescribing process involved may not have been quite ideal. ] (]) 21:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Wiki Medicine
Hi
I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.
Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.
Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:22, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Notification of imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next several days. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Proposed deletion
Proposed deletion of Misplaced Pages
The article Misplaced Pages has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. It duplicates information elsewhere without adding anything extra. JMcC (talk) 09:41, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
The Misplaced Pages Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
The Misplaced Pages Library gets Misplaced Pages editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.
- Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
- Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
- If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Bioenergetics and Your Contribution
Dear JW Schmidt, 1. I'm inspired to improve the Bioenergetics page and pray that I don't offend anyone by replacing their words with mine. Yours was the only name there on the talk page, so I supposed you may have been the original author of the article. I am not a qualified professional or expert so someone like yourself might visit the page (in a few weeks) to mitigate errors.
2. While searching for a way to contact you, experiencing talk pages et cetera for the first time, I learned that you have contributed much time and energy to the Misplaced Pages project. Thank you!!! But it seems you haven't been active for years. My main interest is cognition at the cellular level, especially microbes, at the molecular level. So of course your effort to develop the Molecular and Cellular Biology Portal was wonderful, and I hope you're able to do more good work.
Sincerely, Jakelove (talk) 23:29, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
p.s.
(19 March 2014) Over these past few days, I've realized that several other of my writing projects have priority over this so, as much as I'd like to see a new Bioenergetics page, I won't be contributing anytime soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakelove (talk • contribs) 21:36, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
