[edit] Notability of Health Decisions

A tag has been placed on Health Decisions, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Health Decisions|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - Zeibura (Talk) 17:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:Health Decisions logo.gif

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Health Decisions logo.gif, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Health Decisions logo.gif has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Health Decisions logo.gif itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

Hi there, I was wondering if you would be interested in joining the Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology. If you would, we would be very happy to have you as a colleague. Tim Vickers 16:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Just added myself, thanks for recommending! --Xris0 17:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Welcome Xris0! The MCB project is a diverse group of people, and the project talk pages are great places to get feedback and ask general questions. If you had any specific questions about Wikipedia I'd be glad to help, just drop me a note on my talk page. All the best Tim Vickers 17:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fluoxetine

I saw your deletion of a section from the fluoxetine article, and although the section was quickly restored by another editor, I think I understand your reasoning for the deletion. So I located a few references from the primary scientific literature which support the claims in the disputed section and I have added them to the article. Hopefully this addresses your concerns. If not, please let me know. --Ed (Edgar181) 19:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

The citations do not, I believe, at all support the assertion that fluoxetine decreases suicide risk. I do not have time to review them in detail, but they appear to be meta-analyses of previous literature. These meta-analyses usually (the ones I have read) fail to account for profound experiment bias, are often funded by the manufacturers themselves, and neglect data. The connection between that data and national suicide rates is, additionally, simply preposterous due to myriad confounding variables. There is a wealth of information contesting this assertion that fluoxetine and other SSRIs decrease suicide rates, and evidence existing that they may, in fact, increase it. I urge more research to make the entry more balanced, at minimum addressing allegations that SSRIs increase suicide risk no matter how much manufacturer-funded journal responses dismiss them as speculative.--Xris0 (talk) 21:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fluoxetine

Dear Xris0,

Even before you restored your controversial paragraph in the Fluoxetine article, I had been reluctant to delete it. I had actually moved it to the Talk page, with the corresponding explanation (see Talk:Fluoxetine#Fluoxetine and suicidality). What you say does ring true to me; unfortunately, it is hard to come up with any solid evidence in favor of the paragraph you wrote. Let's work on this together. Having solid evidence will give your point more weight. And on the other hand, it is not good for the article to have a highly controversial opinion without attribution. Even as you originally wrote it, there is no support for it in the following paragraphs- see the diff- [3] Paul gene (talk) 01:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
