Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 05:55, 4 January 2007

Nobel Peace Prize

A project page you created a while back, Misplaced Pages:Wikimedia for Nobel Peace Prize, has been nominated for deletion at WP:MFD. I have suggested that the page be moved to user space. Would you be interested in keeping it in your user space? Please feel free to comment at its subpage. Thanks. --TantalumTelluride 04:43, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

One can include it in Nobel Prize page.

See also links

I found some of your recent additions odd, as have other editors:

1. Additional topic links in obstetrics & gynecology 'see also' lists odd, yet you sort them into alphabetical order.

Like in a lot of other articles, the alphabetical order is an order minimum.

1. • Midwife is a sensible article to point out for obsetrics,

I do not know this concept.

but not gynaecology.

A midwife nurse is an obstetric-gynecologic specialist.

1. • Obstetrics gynecology nursing

Yes, this is the right name also for a lot of midwives´ work.

seems a made up expression for which you created as redirect page that points to Obstetrics.

You can write the Obstetrics gynecology nursing article if you want. But a red link is not a good beginning point. Obstetrics links to gynecology in "see also". But you are free to improve the Obstetrics gynecology nursing or redirect to midwife.

1. The sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome redirection page:
   • Mis-spelt twice (term does extist on PubMed searching) and so I have moved to sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.

You mis-spelled in this same page with obsetrics (?).

1. • I am unclear quite what this is compared to apnea or sleep apnea - to which one should it redirect ?
   • I changed the redirect to sleep apnea and thus it that article removed the reduncant link to sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome - please see talk:sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.

To sleep apnea. But, this is not the perfect solution. This is a apnea and a HYPOPNEA, no only apnea. See the talk page.

1. Mini PE - you add a link to a general download site that does not have 'Mini PE' listed on its front page, yet correctly wikify some of the text.

The name is wrong. Really is MiniPE. I have added a link to a torrent.

1. (Possible) Copyvio - you just created Event Data Recorder which immediaely had another editr place a copyvio warning on

You did not see the reference link. I can include original text and add comments. Or change a little bit the original text.

I had on reverting the medical topics links (as above) been uncertain as to your intensions. On trying to assume good faith they certainly did not seem to be blatant vandalism, but instead seemed just ill-thought out. I had a look at some of your previous recent contributions (which seem to be on computing or transport topics) and all of these seem positive additional cross links or clarifications edits. So your recent edits seem out of keeping to your past editing style... David Ruben 00:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

With this name or anonymously I have contributed to improve Misplaced Pages. I assume you too. But I really think talk about illness is not a prudence starting. And prudence and respect is a must be between wikipedians. --Mac 07:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed- "ill-thought out" only a comment on specific edits, not intended to mean nor imply any suggestion of "illness" on you as editor. Hence I had spent a some time looking at a seletion of your wider edits before writing to you, and I had been impressed by your contributions. The edits of that particular day therefore seemed atypical.

Yes, only from time to time I have enough time to invest in Misplaced Pages as it merits.

As for Obstetrics gynecology nursing, probably should redirect to general topic of nursing.

Perhaps with an specific reference to midwife

I wonder if this a US specific term, as in UK midwives are nurses who have undergone additional training (so all midwives are nurses, but not all nurses are midwives).

Like in Spain. I think this is going to be more and more similar everyday because of the European Space of Higher Education and university common cataloge.

Hence no plain "nurse" can work in UK on an obsetric labour unit (except in surgical theatres as theatre nurses). Similarly Gynaecology wards are generally staffed by non-midwifery-trained nurses (there is sufficient shortages of midwives that they are all exclusively utilised on obstetric wards only). Perhaps in US there is less distinction between Obstetrics & Gynaecology service provision than in UK where the only cross-over staff are the doctors servicing both sets of outpatient clinics and inpatient beds (the nursing/midwife staff being distinct as are the wards) ? David Ruben 00:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

In Spain, midwives are called obstetric-gynecologic nurses . But in some countries, like Argentina, the midwives follows a different carrier of the nursing (specific midwife carrier). But they can homologate this argentinan diploma to spanish nursing diploma (homologate to spanish midwife diploma is difficult). And to work in some spanish territories, one ask for the nursing diploma and experience in obstetric-gynecologic nursing (this experience can be the original argentinan midwife diploma or certified experience in a specialized hospital service). Regards. --Mac 08:57, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

• So, if I understand correctly, Obstetrics gynecology nursing is the Spanish term for UK/US Midwife.

• Sure.

• In which case, should it redirect to 'midwife' ?

• Ever. Because, generally, in Spain a midwife is a Obstetrics gynecology nurse. It must be for ever a nurse and work in this speciality field.

• Midwife then needs an extra section explaining the term 'Obstetrics gynecology nursing' as being used in Spain ?

• Yes, I would add a section about midwifery in Spain (like equivalent to Obstetrics gynecology nursing]] only.

• Given you seem to know about the system in Spain/Argentina, can you add the necessary information ? Are there any references that can be given for this that will be in English (vs Spanish which would be less helpful in this English Misplaced Pages) ? David Ruben 12:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

• Of course I can add this information. But I think the system used in Argentina is similar in other Hispanoamerican countries (i.e. Ecuador). I can give this information in english (translating the official spanish papers). Regards.--Mac 06:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Red link

I noticed that you turned Red link into a redirect to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Red Link Recovery. While perhaps useful (even if we do tend to frown upon cross-namespace redirects), doing so has one major disadvantage: it makes the link no longer red. I have accordingly deleted the page so that it displays as a red link again. (See also Talk:Red link.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 11:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a solution. I can use Red Link for alternative uses or you can use Template:Fontcolor. For example, {{fontcolor|red|red_link}} shows: red_link

--Mac 07:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Even better, why not use Red link — as in ] — which is currently a redirect to Misplaced Pages:Glossary but presumably could (and probably should, anyway) be changed without causing any trouble. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Clock Strata

Nice work on the Clock Strata article! User:David Jordan.

Thanks. --Mac 10:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Template:Fontcolor

I have modified Template:Fontcolor to support background colors :) --Hello World! 10:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Good idea, thanks. --Mac 11:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Energy portal

Hi Mac! Having picked up following your start on the Energy Portal, this is now up and running - if in need of some further work. I thought you might like to be aware of the opportunity to contribute again... No need to reply. Gralo 17:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I love it. Thanks. --Mac 05:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Spamdexing redirect

Hi. What's with the Spamdexing redirect to a new article, Spamexing? This was a surprise and I didn't see any discussion on the talk page. Thanks, --A. B. 16:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Note also that, aside from that such renames shouldn't be done without apparent consensus, cut and paste moves leave the talk and history at the old location, and thus should be avoided. Femto 19:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

One can do it in other way. You can redirect spamexing to spamdexing, if you want. But spamexing is more easy to say. Regards.--Mac 06:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Not proxy

Not a proxy? Then how was I able to edit through it? Luna Santin 07:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC).

Can you give me a page with more information about the proxies and the problems in Misplaced Pages (i.e. help page)?. The problem with secure.wikimedia.org is that every time I edit I recieve the next message: "this page contains some insecure elements. Do you want to open it anyway ?". --Mac 07:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing. Probably WP:OP would be the best page for you to look over. Luna Santin 07:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. --Mac 13:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Celtic horoscope

The article you wrote, Celtic horoscope, is uncategorized. Please help improve it by adding it to one or more categories, so it may be associated with related articles. A stub marker or other template doesn't count - please put in an actual category in the article.Eli Falk 07:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is a stub. I am improving it. You also can help. Regards. --Mac 08:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Please review the guidelines for minor edits. You added a lot of new content to Celtic astrology and marked it as a minor edit. Thanks. Rich257 09:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

It is marked as default. I unmark in next edits, if major edits. --Mac 10:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Mac, also on the subject: Hello, I'm Grutness. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Pigman 22:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I provide some sources in the page. But I was interested about the topic when I read an article appeared in Mujer Hoy (Paloma Navarrete, n 403, december 30th 2006).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mac (talk • contribs)

As noted on the talk page, the links you provided (to blogs and quizzes) are not appropriate sources. Please read the article, and the links already provided in the article, which thoroughly explain and debunk the "tree horoscope". Thanks. --Pigman 19:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Domotics-stub

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Misplaced Pages, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub type, it is already covered by existing stub types, and it does not the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type (in fact, the one stub marked with this template had nothing to do with domotics at all!). The stub type is listed for deletion at WP:SFD - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should be kept. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 05:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
