Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

WP:DERM:MA

We are always looking for more help with the dermatology task force, particularly with the ongoing Bolognia push in which we are making sure Wikipedia has an article on every cutaneous condition. With that being said, I wanted to know if you would be willing to help with the Bolognia push? I can e-mail you the login information if you like? There is still a lot of potential for new articles and redirects. ---My Core Competency is Competency (talk) 23:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you enable e-mailing on your Wikipedia account, I can send you login information for the online edition of:

Bolognia, Jean L.; et al. (2007). Dermatology. St. Louis: Mosby. ISBN 1-4160-2999-0. {{cite book}}: Explicit use of et al. in: |author= (help)

January 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Melanoma, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. Breawycker (talk) 22:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, changed some wording to correspond to more how docs talk about such things. Fail to see how ths is not "constructive". Jackfirst (talk) 23:39, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About "wellcome to wikipedia"-- FWIW, have been posting here off and on for four years, more or less. Also, was invited above to contribute to dermatology articles, which I just did. Change my edits all you like, but arbitrary reverts like this are completely unwikilike and spoil the wikipedia experience. If you like, I'll quote you chapter and verse from the rules.

Please do not make test edits to articles, as you did with this edit to Seborrhoeic dermatitis, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits constitute vandalism, and will be reverted. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 22:47, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, I was just making mostly grammatical changes, got distracted, screwed up and then corrected my own screw-up. No way this is possibly vandalism. In fact, I remind you to "assume good faith" before hitting the revert button. Jackfirst (talk) 23:35, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alopecia

Hi. The whole reason for "can lead to" vs. "can mean" is that hair loss is the process, and baldness is (sometimes) the result. Not distinguishing the two can be misleading. Please discuss. Thanks. ~AH1 ^(discuss!) 18:04, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
