The Exodus
The exodus: you reverted someone "because of bias and falsehood": a better edit summary would have been "deletion of sourced material and substitution with unsourced matter." Just saying. PiCo (talk) 06:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC) Thank you for the constructive criticism ComfyKem (talk) 20:47, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Concerning Behemoth
You think we should make a request to have Behemoth page protected for a while in order to discourage our anonymous friend from deleting the debunking of the creationist "Behemoth was a sauropod" hypothesis?--Mr Fink (talk) 21:32, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Definitely. I don't know how though so you or someone else would have to(I'm new to wiki) ComfyKem (talk) 22:06, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- They protected it for 1 week. If the vandal returns, we could place another request to extend the protection longer.--Mr Fink (talk) 23:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Could you be more specific please
About the points for which additional citation is required in the artificial induction of immunity? Marking the first one would be a start. 194.176.105.138 (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2013 (UTC) (in The National Health Service, England)
Great job!
Hi ComfyKem! Great job finding all those sources to Adverse effect. Please take a look at WP:MEDRS to find out what sources are best for medical articles, so you can do an even greater job. With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 06:41, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bovine immunodeficiency virus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Franklinton (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.

Oncolytic viruses article
Hi ComfyKem, thanks for your update of the importance rating recently on the Oncolytic virus talk page. I have been putting a fair bit of work into this article and wondered if you could give me any tips on what to do to improve the quality of the article from its current B rating. Thanks, Viraltonic (talk) 18:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- Good work on the article! A lot of the issues I'm seeing with it are related to the sources. Some references are bare urls. Some are just url + title. In many journal references, not enough information is given in the reference, such as the author(s), year published, journal, volume, issue and pages (see: cite journal template for how to "standardize" this kind of reference). This is the same with non-journal references. Another thing is that many of the non-journal references do not include retrieval dates for when they were added to the article (journal entries don't need a retrieval date). I'll check in on the article and help you out with some of these things. ComfyKem (talk) 21:04, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- Ah yes, good point, I've added lots of citations but didn't thoroughly check the existing ones. I'll run through them and sort them out! Viraltonic (talk) 21:40, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi ComfyKem, would you please check over the article's info box regarding the number of cases/deaths? That's been changed a few times by an IP or two. Also, if you get a chance, will you look into the number of cases in Italy and add in the new information? Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 01:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- In my opinion a different table is needed that is similar to the one on the SARS article. The current one lists out the countries in one section, then lists the cases and deaths together. The one on the SARS article has the cases, deaths and fatality rate for each individual country, which allows people to see which countries are most affected.
- I went ahead and created a provisional one that is an adaptation of the other, which can be seen here. Thoughts? (Go ahead and put it in the article if you think it helps; will need ref tags on the source [or replace with more recent sources]) ComfyKem (talk) 03:55, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Brilliant! It's much better than the info box. Malke 2010 (talk) 05:35, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- I did a 'preview' and it fits well. Needs updating, but otherwise it works well. I'll work on it tomorrow. Malke 2010 (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi ComfyKem, I tweaked the color on the box since viruses are violet. What do you think? Should I make room for the flags? Malke 2010 (talk) 20:37, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think flags are needed, but that's up to you. Feel free to add it in to the article when you want to ComfyKem (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- I added the flags. It aligns to the left of the page now. Needs tweaking to align to the right, and I'll alpha order it later. See if you can get it to the right of the page in the meantime. Good job, btw, building the box. Malke 2010 (talk) 21:23, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Tried again to align it to the right in the article but no go. It aligns to the right in the sandox. Even when I remove the taxbox and then place the info box, it's still aligns to the left. Give it a try if you've the time. Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 21:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

| Wernicke encephalopathy.
Hi, following the criteria established in most of the literature, diagnosis reaches only about 10% of the cases, clinically and humanly unacceptable. The case on which I base my research over 10 years, initially only showed hyperhidrosis, hypothermia, and asthenia, and later was on his way to death. He now have an almost normal life. In Wernicke's encephalopathy, "exceptional symptoms are the majority. " Fortunately, my blog has provoked the interest of Prof. Sechi (a reference in WE), of the British Medical Journals (who has asked to review other neurological work in 2013), and of several other prof. When young, I had to study French, English, Italian and Latin, in addition to Spanish, so I do not master any. Thank you for your corrections of language. I have gathered much information, and own conclusions about WE, that it's hard to select and sort on a single page. It is surprising that a widespread disease known so little and so badly. The vocation of service conflicts with the rules of disclosure systems. But I'm retired and do not want formal complications. I appreciate the corrections, ordering, and the help of doctors like you. Remains much to do about WE, as clarify the brawl with beriberi (eg WE = cerebral beriberi, PMID: 17639753). Thanks, cheers. Luis ……………………………………………………………………………………….. In Wikipedia there are 3 pages on the same subject, Korsakoff's psychosis, I think it is just another serious presentation of WE. The 3 pages are: Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, and Korsakoff's syndrome. Luis cerni (talk) 16:21, 18 June 2013 (UTC) |

It looks like we could delete the 'recent developments' section. You might want to weigh in again on the talk page to support it just so it's clear three editors agree. Malke 2010 (talk) 23:36, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

TemplateData is here
Hey ComfyKem
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.
Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello Doc
About Wernicke's enc. I think I wrote all that is necessary. Thanks for the corrections. Luis

Edits to C-SPAN
Hi ComfyKem. I have the C-SPAN article on my watchlist and noticed your recent edit. I'm actually in the process of fixing up this article in preparation for submission to Feature article review, and I'm afraid one of your modifications introduced an inaccuracy. Specifically, the article now says C-SPAN "simulcasts NASA Space Shuttle mission launches". However, NASA no longer operates a space shuttle program, so the past tense "simulcast" makes more sense here.
I have no problem with the Arab Spring addition, however I've also asked a recent editor to consider reverting themselves for having introduced some errors as well (see here) so if they do follow up, this would undo your edit as well.
Also, why am I mentioning this to you rather than just changing it? I'm a consultant to C-SPAN, and because of my financial COI, I don't make direct edits, I only offer suggestions. So, consider this a friendly heads up that the article is likely to change again soon. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 19:41, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing out "cur" on Tv's discussion page; I've followed up with notes about a few more problems I found. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 22:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there, CK. I haven't received a reply from Tv about the C-SPAN article; looks like he or she has not been online these last few days, anyway. I was hoping to have taken this article to FAC by this point, but I can't do so with these problems introduced to the article. Would you be willing to consider reverting to the version prior to August 11? Thanks in advance, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 13:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- I've reverted it to it's pre-August 11 state (see) ComfyKem (talk) 16:29, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- Just saw that, thanks! If you want to add back Arab Spring, go right ahead. I don't want to be WP:OWN-y about the article; I just didn't want to lose the improvements I'd secured before it. I'll let Tv know, also. Best, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:53, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Coronavirus taxobox
Hi ComfyKem, when you have time will you please tweak the taxobox on Coronavirus so that it will show all four genera Alpha, beta, gamma, and deltacoronavirus? Since it's the main article it would be helpful if all four were showing. Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- There is a separate article for the subfamily Coronavirinae. It looks like these two articles cover the same thing, so shouldn't there be a merger? If so, I think the subfamily name would be better for the title (going with the norm on virus articles) with "coronavirus" as a redirect with a mention of the fact that members of the entire subfamily can be referred to as coronaviruses. For comparison, herpesvirus redirects to the family Herpesviridae since all members of the family are called herpesviruses. ComfyKem (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- That's an excellent question. The coronaviruses are the species in the subfamily coronavirinae. These viruses are more complex from the Herpes viruses which are human viruses. Given that the zoonotic origins are divided with bats in the alpha and beta groups and avian sources in the gamma and delta groups, (so far as these groups are known at this time) there is enough material to separate the subfamily from the species so as to expand on these genera. Since these are emerging viruses, its possible the subfamily might expand over time. The species, of course, continue to emerge, with the MERS being the newest species in group 2c. For this reason, I would be reluctant to merge them. Malke 2010 (talk) 01:34, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
