WTF?
So what the heck is going on around here these days? Do you think it's a full moon, or bad wheat, or folie à plusieurs? Or is the matrix starting to degrade? Even by Misplaced Pages's standards, this place is going nuts. MastCell 16:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, so it's not just me. I've been wondering if it's a perverse form of spring fever. Raymond Arritt (talk) 16:38, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Global warming. It's been above 100 here for the past 7 days, and it's only freaking May. I wonder if shoreline property on Hudson Bay will be a good investment. OrangeMarlin 16:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- I just can't wait till the Northwest Passage opens up. I'm tired of people giving global warming a bad rap. How cool will it be to be able to travel by boat from Nova Scotia to Alaska yearround? MastCell 16:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Very cool. I was thinking how many seals and whales will live longer and more productive lives because polar bears will be extinct. People are so damn short-sighted about the melting of the ice caps.OrangeMarlin 16:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, now that I see your new userbox, it all makes sense: "May is mental health awareness month". MastCell 17:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think Dick Nixon kicked that off while Veep. •Jim62sch• 19:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

- "Good"? That all depends on whether you're being selected for or selected against, n'est-ce pas? MastCell 05:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Cla68
This happens when things get out of hand. Sadly, Cla68 is quite a good editor. I actually gave a little help out to one of his articles on an obscure Japanese medical officer from WWII. But it appears if you oppose his POV on anything else, he goes on attack. Apparently, you disagree with his global warming POV. Oh well. OrangeMarlin 16:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Didn't you know that Cla68, because of his featured content in a narrow area, is the final arbiter here? He is above Jimbo and Arbcomm. He is a Very Important Wikipedian and has often been quoted in the press.--Filll (talk | wpc) 16:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Y'know, I was thinking as I was driving in to work today, I don't need this stuff. I'll wait and see what happens, but if he opens an arbcom case I'm outta here. Life is too short to waste time proving that I'm not made of wood. Raymond Arritt (talk) 16:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Definite and indefinite
"Raymond Arrit is taking wikibreak"? You must be Russian guy, as do you not use indefinite article in sentence. :) Hey, the good news is that every period of lunacy is followed by a period of reactive sanity. (The bad news is that the reverse is also true). Methinks we're overdue. I can't run the global warming walled garden by myself; I'm too busy pushing the fringe POV that HIV causes AIDS. Have a good holiday weekend and keep up the good work. :) MastCell 00:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Only sockpuppet being Russian guy. Raymond Arritt (talk) 00:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I like the excerpt on Boris' userpage. A bit reminiscent of Zoshchenko. MastCell 22:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's brilliant. My sock is boringly predictable and has no witty excerpts. Clearly, I buy my socks at Wal-Mart, and you buy yours somewhere far more artsy. Perhaps you knit them yourself at Burning Man? KillerChihuahua 05:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Allopathic
Hi Raymond, I read your post about Commonname, and I read the page itself. Thanks for pointing this out. I agree with you, in general, I'm not sure which article you feel is misnamed, or even if you are suggesting that. The point you made about an osteopathic grad being referred to as an allopath is interesting. The problem is that I've never heard any physician referred to as an allopath. But I have read many sources which discuss an "osteopathic" graduate entering an "allopathic residency." Such a person is said to have "allopathic training." It wouldn't really make sense to say they had "MD" training, since they are still a DO. It would make sense to say they had "ACGME" training, since this is the body that accredits "allopathic" programs. Of course, this is all very confusing. But I do think it needs to be explained, not avoided. That's really the core of my point. Explain the terminology that is used, as neutrally as possible, using reliable sources. This language is used by the people and the organizations that govern this process in the US. The National Residency Matching Program uses the term on its main page, and in all its reports on residents, matching, physicians workforce issues, etc. . As does the AMA, the AOA, etc, etc. Thoughts? Bryan Hopping 19:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
