I kind of need some help

Hey girl I see you have the same problems I do sometimesdo you think you could help me out with with my dispute http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/The_13th_4postle against JRSP and FlankerCarlitos 17:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Improving Asperger syndrome article

I just quickly scanned Asperger syndrome and you're right, it could stand improvement. I'm afraid I won't have time in the next few weeks to do anything major. Do you have anything in mind? I could just write a quick review of the whole page, sort of a kneejerk reaction, if you think that'd help, and put it on the talk page.

Before doing major work, what do you see as the priorities in this area? I just now looked at (and reorganized a bit) List of autism-related topics. Wow. It's enormous. Eubulides 18:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I REALLY do see your point, but at the same time, if you are going to tag the article again, you really DO need to explain exactly what inaccuracies you see in the citations etc. I know it is a pain, but "guess the inaccuracy" is a game that could take for ever to play.

Wherever there are inaccuracies I am 100% with you, but I have a slow connection, clinical shock ($800!!! YIKES!!) and houseguests at the weekend, so help me out here and specify the inaccuracies?? --Zeraeph 00:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Task force for WP:MED

I'm hoping for some help from someone familiar with WikiProject Medicine. I would like to create a Pregnancy and Childbirth Task Force. Does WP:MED have any task forces? Would I be better off creating a child (no pun intended) WikiProject? I'd rather avoid the bureaucracy involved in that if possible. I would appreciate any guidance. If you know of a person better able to help me, feel free to steer me that way. (I first tried User:Eubulides, who suggested I contact you.) Thanks! --Ginkgo100 21:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Cleveland 2

Hi Sandy. Any last comments on this one? Marskell 15:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Ronald Reagan edits

Hey thanks Sandy for helping out the Ronald Reagan article (again haha). You always do the little "behind the scenes" edits that are much appreciated by me and many other. Best, Happyme22 18:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

My pleasure. You know, if you want to get an article about a conservative featured on Wiki, it has to be more perfect than a liberal article. You really should fix the MOS stuff before bringing it to FAC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sandbox goof

Sorry, Sandy! I wasn't planning to "promote" Fun Home myself — I was just trying to see if I could get {{ArticleHistory}} to work to combine the existing GA, peer review and FAC templates on Talk:Fun Home. I eventually decided to wait until the FAC closes, but didn't want to lose the info about the "oldid" fields, so thought I'd keep it in my sandbox for now. I didn't realize that would cause problems.

Does the FAC closrue bot automatically change the templates to {{ArticleHistory}}? If so, that's cool. If not, I'll make the necessary changes after the FAC closes (however it closes). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Yes, the bot updates articlehistory, and more (there's archiving of the FAC, clearing the old fac file, updating Project assessments, and tagging the FAC closed); best to let the bot do it all once the FAC closes. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I think I was unclear: what I meant to ask is if the talk page doesn't have the {{ArticleHistory}} template on it, but does have things like {{GA}} and {{peerreview}}, will the bot replace those with {{ArticleHistory}}? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 02:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

The bot will get them all. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Paracetamol

Hi Sandy! Quick question—what do you think of an unofficial review (perhaps posted at WT:PHARM) of paracetamol? It's in pretty bad shape, and we at the project (ooh! cabal!) would like to avoid FAR :P Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll help if you initiate. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm working on it piecemeal, doing some very minor things; will probably be mostly off-wiki over the next few days, but I'll keep going whenever I get a chance (hey, the nights are young :) Perhaps we (and others) could work on a Sandbox version? Spam over at WP:CLINMED? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Blanking frenzy at the Alexithymia page

Sandy, do you know of a way to stop Zeraeph from going on a "blanking rage" on the alexithymia page? I deleted an unreferenced sentence of his (the contentious one) and in return Zeraeph is blanking huge portions of the reference paragraphs as "not fully referenced". Is there some rule against that kind of blanking frenzy, or is it a matter of following him and restoring each point he blanks?

PS. I know you've got your hands full with the goings on at the AS page (where you are proposing some very worthwhile corrections!), but thought I'd run it by you. Soulgany101 02:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I see the article has been protected by an admin, so I'm not going to look further tonight; I'm disgusted enough about what went on at Asperger syndrome, and I'm up to my eyeballs right now editing another article, where I can be of more use. When things get heated, it's time to move on to another area of Wiki for a while. You may know that Zeraeph was upset by a car accident today, so leaving this for another day may be a wise course. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I understand. Maybe Zeraeph was going through something personal. I won't conjecture more but will say I'm pleased that the article was locked from further blanking. BTW, I note that Zeraeph has a problem with the way the references/citations are written, which may account for the blanking. I thought you had fixed most of that? Anyways, I've got nothing more to add to that article, and I think its in pretty good shape.... certainly the most comprehensive and well-referenced effort for that entry to date. Thanks again for all your tidying, I hope your work remains intact. I'm drifting away from that entry now too to work on more productive projects, as I suspect that Zeraeph would try and vandalize any effort at clean-up I attempted. Soulgany101 04:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

On the other hand, maybe he should spend more time trying to fix his own refs rather than expecting you to do it for him? --Zeraeph 04:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Please don't brawl on my talk page; tomorrow's a new, hopefully better day. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Editing contibution

Sandy, I appreciated all your valuable editing work on the Alexithymia entry, in particular the concise use of referencing (which I will use in future!).
