[edit]Gedday Nick, there are a few of us here from time to time. Drop by the doctors mess to see what we're all up to. best wishes Erich 06:10, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Don't worry too much about the protocols. The best thing Wikipedia is that it is extremely easy to undo any change. That's why it survives. You'll find that any "mistakes" you make are quickly corrected by someone else. It's all amazingly powerful and flexible... and fun really. I'm a bit of an addict. Tinkering with existing pages is a simple way of starting, but you'll soon get the hang of it. I'm happy to steer you in the right direction if you have questions (or you can ask the eclectic mix at the mess). ARDS has been getting a bit of a massage lately, thanks mainly to User:Aside. The 'don't publish original researh' policy is mainly to stop crack pots... "my research conclusively show asthma is caused entirely due to the use of underarm deoderant by mothers..." that sort of thing, I think. If you've got some research that has been published then that would be received well. I've been dropping a few articles into category:pulmonology as I find them. (to put an article in a category you just type [[category:pulmonology]] at the bottom (or [[category:medicine]] etc to put articles in another category. cheers Erich 00:34, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 1
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited British United Airways, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sir Ronald Edwards (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

[edit]Thanks for uploading File:2016 facade for Bristol Royal Infirmary.jpg, which you've attributed to University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

Thanks Diana, I could have sorted the approval for this but thought it was easier to take my own photo one bright summer morning :) Nick Bell (talk) 19:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
