Thanks for the heads-up. Nothing wrong with mentioning my experience with Cindery on ANI in the context that you did. I'm sorry to see that the situation is still ongoing and that the hatchet is still very much above ground. Keep up the good work, but don't be afraid to take a step back if it begins to burn you out. -] (]) 23:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC) | Thanks for the heads-up.

I hate to do this, but you have also been involved in the controversies with Ilena and myself, so you are being named in an (IMO premature) RfArb . Please add your comments. -- ] 10:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC) |

Another doctor?
Hi, and another welcome. I saw you made some very good contributions to oncology related articles lately. Are you a doctor or a medical student? You might be interested in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Clinical medicine where a lot of the medicine related action happens. --WS 19:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- I added you to Category:Physician Wikipedians, I hope are all right with that. --WS 22:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Praise
Hey there. I just noticed your edits pop up on the recent changes page, and I have to say, this is some very good stuff.
Not only is it good, useful information, it's well-written.
We need more contributors like you. Keep at it! DS 22:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
ABC article
Thanks. It sure wasn't/isn't easy. - RoyBoy 01:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- You are a scholar and a gentle(person). While indeed sometimes I can get annoyed at things getting inaccurate, after I calm myself it is obvious things were inaccurate to begin with. And only by continuing to bounce opinions and ideas off each other can we arrive at a truly superior article. Quite frankly you are the best person to work with on this article; as we disagree on the conclusion of the ABC issue, but we both see there is enough ambiguity in the evidence for us both to be somewhat wrong. - RoyBoy 03:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi MastCell
Wow, you've certainly made a productive start here this month! You're additions have been great! I've had fun putting up endoscopy images, but the hard part is getting consent from patients for their release. You should join us at WP:CLINMED, the Clinical Medicine Wikiproject, and at WP:GI, WikiProject Gastroenterology where we have fun bouncing article ideas off each other. If you haven't met User:Jfdwolff, he's a fabulous editor and administrator to work with, and laid the foundations for a tonne of the medical articles here. Take care -- Samir धर्म 05:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hi once more, and welcome to WP:CLINMED! Keep the histamine flowing and hope to see you around! PS: If you're interested, we're working on Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (Medicine-related articles): have a look!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 14:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
K Harris discussion
Thank you for stepping in to the discussion and helping to hopefully diffuse the situation between ThuranX and myself. I don't know what exactly set him off, but by reading his user talk page, I'm starting to understand I'm not the only editor that he does not work well with (even resulting in some warnings against him for incivility to others). I'd like to leave it to you and other editors to work towards a consensus on the Trivia section issue. I will still voice my opinions but will not be responding to ThuranX and I've made as much clear on his user talk page. Thanks again, and have a good day. ju66l3r 04:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Ischemic colitis
Great job! It looks fabulous. I had a couple of things I wanted to add, one of which is a picture that I have but need to get patient consent for its release -- Samir धर्म 04:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Melanoma edit
I liked your edit of my contribution to the Moh's section under melanoma. Much more fluid now. Cheers. RobDroliver 15:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Featured Article: AML
Kudos on the AML article accolades--well-deserved after your hard work on it. Keep up the quality contributions.

Thank you
MastCell, thanks for taking the time to make this comment. It means so much more coming from you and I really appreciate your 2 cents;) And yes, your right, we use little CT anymore with MRI available, but most of us don't even order them until they have failed to respond, that is if we don't just send them to the surgeon. Most xrays are to rule out contraindications to spinal manipulation which means two or three views. It's nice to know that someone understands that is a necessary risk to prevent iatrogenic injury. --Dematt 04:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- MastCell -- a fellow Dr Strangelove fan I presume! In any case, if the profanity on the pseudoscience talk page offended you, I apologise, but you're really need to read the archives from three or four days ago to see how we got to that point. Also, Krishna commented to your post here. You may wish to reply (or not). But, if you stick with it for a few days (if you have the time) you might see the dynamic of the page and might even feel tempted to use profanity as well. Also, I echo Dematt's thanks. •Jim62sch• 19:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
orthomed
My reply yesterday was hot under the coller because I only read the OM article's dif on an old screen and read it as *commenting out* the entire second paragraph that you had formed instead of just the one sentence that you commented out. So my apologies in another hot zone where small communications errors could cause wider misunderstandings.--TheNautilus 18:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. MastCell 21:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
RE: Removal of stupid text
I just so happened to be reviewing stuff I've done on the Misplaced Pages (and what kind of trouble I've caused :) when I ran across a (useless) change I made to the Steven Milloy article that you rolled back. I got a laugh out of your summary statement. :)

"Junkscience"
Hi Mastcell. (Mastcell?) .. I am clearly spending too much time on WIkipedia! I read the "Milloy" article, and I agree with your comments re global warming - that is indeed what is plastered all over the Junkscience site. I also noted that there is quite a bit of redundancy in the article. I have not edited it before, so would have to go back and look at its organization....but thought I would comment on what struck me about the article. I am a bit surprised that Mr. Milloy has not called evolution "Junkscience". Jance 00:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- "its/it's It's really not that hard to use each word in its proper manner..." How about I/me/myself? ("Myself" is not a predicate nominative, or the object of a preposition)
Please check out asbestos and the law and let me know what you think. I also rewrote medical malpractice to something other than a whining for tort reform, and how evil lawyers are. I have also worked on non-euclidean geometry although am just starting, and would be intersted in looking more into Riemann and Lobachevsky. Both had different theories of non-Euclidean geometry based on a supposition of NOT 5th postulate --- but that tracks with Tom Lehrer. Much as I love Tom Lehrer as well, I have refactored a lengthy quotation from his immortal song "Lobachevsky", which Jance had added, for reasons of space. --MastCell
Thanks for that sterling work on Steven Milloy. (My specialty is Myron Ebell.) In order to do his job, he has to obscure his conflicts of interest, so by their nature it won't be absolutely transparent. However, it shouldn't take many false and uncorrected claims to cast enough doubt on someone's reliability as a source of information for the media never to speak to them again. Unfortunately, they don't seem to work that way.Goatchurch 10:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Re:Welcome back
Thanks for the note. Let me know if your could use any specific help. -Severa (!!!) 19:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Happy Holidays
And the same to you! Thanks for the tip. Also, I saw on An/I this "One of my comments, in a moment of weakness, was an uncivil response to this sort of thing." Welcome to the human race. At least you were articulate. Also, have you ever wondered if wikipedia is addictive? oy vey mariaJance 23:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I've given some documentation why I am dissatisfied with IR's 2nd AN/I filed and its disruptive impact on everybody else.--I'clast 13:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- If there's anything in the diffs that are actually of concern to anyone, please let me know. I'm happy to explain what I did, why I did it, what if anything I'd do different now, etc. Mostly, I just see them as I'clast being unhappy with me when I don't agree with him or others. --Ronz 00:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Re:User Name
Thanks I do indeed like Foucault's Pendulum very much indeed Belbo Casaubon 13:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
On 159.105.80.219
I think it may become time to open up a WP:RFC on User_talk:159.105.80.219. I have just given him a Misplaced Pages:Civility warning. Samboy 21:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
My offer to Ilena
My response to Ilena's continued personal atacks all over the place (as well as my offer to her) can be found here. -- Fyslee 11:08, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Honestly, I think at this point it might be best to move on to the next step and file an RfC. I appreciate what Peter Dodge is trying to accomplish, and maybe there was some progress at one point, but I can't see how comparing an editor with whom you're having a content dispute to a Nazi death-camp guard is anything but a depressing leap backward on Ilena's part. Just my 2 cents. MastCell 16:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Splattered Consensus
I never thought an AfD would fly, having assumed GW skeptics would come streaming out of the woodwork to defend it. Kudos. (PS. I see you're a Dr Strangelove fan as well... ) Raymond Arritt 06:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't nominate out of spite... it's just that a) it really wasn't notable enough, b) it was the source of an ungodly amount of argument, given its non-notability, and c) even for the best of books it's really hard to write a good article without turning it into a book report. I feel kind of bad, because I think a lot of work and emotion was put into the article, but in the end it really wasn't appropriate for Misplaced Pages - and it was just serving as a nexus for pro-/anti-global warming debate that was unproductive. Yes, I am a fan of Dr. Strangelove — although it seems almost quaint in light of recent events to think that, at one point, the concern was that military would foment a war despite the restraint of the civilian authorities... MastCell 17:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Would you help and be my mentor?
I am new, very new, and I haven't a clue about this site. I have already made mistakes on my user page which you can read. I don't know how to do those links, sorry. I am disabled and on a lot of meds for multiple medical problems and have trouble remember things. So I need someone with patience and with the lurking I have done, you see to. If you don't or can't that's ok, just let me know on my site. I appreciate you listening to me.

You have been named in an RfArb
I hate to do this, but you have also been involved in the controversies with Ilena and myself, so you are being named in an (IMO premature) RfArb here. Please add your comments. -- Fyslee 10:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
