Pleasure to meet you

Hi James,

Pleasure to meet you today! Thanks for making it out to UCSF!

Are these talk pages conversations public?

Yes they are :-) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 01:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm.....

I feel like I'm entering the WikiWorld....

So is this really the method that most people (on wiki) use to chat back and forth? HeatherLogghe (talk) 00:10, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes yes it is. Not too bad really. It allows people to answer when they are on next and thus allows better collaboration from all areas of the world. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! =) And I answered your question at James' talk page, FYI. Biosthmors (talk) 05:46, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

The article Flail mandible has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

Flail Mandible

Hi James,

I made an entry for "flail mandible." (It had not existed previously.) It was brief--one sentence each for definition, cause, and treatment and included one journal article as a reference. It looks like it was taken down already. Is there a good way for me to learn what wasn't up to par about it? Also, is there any kind of mentoring system when learning the ropes of Wiki? I want to contribute, but do not have oodles of time to figure out "how" to do everything....

Thanks.

Sure it does take a little while to figure. We typically want to use secondary sources such as review articles or major textbooks.

This is probably a better reference [1]. The recommendation is that this article be merged to Mandibular fracture until there is enough content to justify its own article.Doc James (talk ·contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 12:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Merge#Reasons_for_merger for the ideas why we merge. That isn't to say you don't have a good argument against merging at this point. Biosthmors (talk) 17:12, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
