Images on Outdated theories of anaesthetic action

Hey there. Your image summaries look good. The images in the article, however, do not need the information template. You can take a look at my corrections to the article in the article history.

The last edit I made to the article also decreased the pixel sizes of the images. Some web browsers are set to 800 pixels wide. An image 700 pixels wide will take up the entire screen, not allowing text to wrap around it. While this can occur at times, it is not aesthetically pleasing to see it at the top of the article. If you absolutely think the image should be this large, you can place it lower in the article and I can assist with making sure it clears all text around it. It would look something like the image found here. --Moni3 (talk) 21:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your corrections. I will try to make this image better later, but for now if it is possible could you please place it like in this example that you suggested. Akuznetsova (talk) 22:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are four images in the article. The File:General anesthetics.png is the one at the top that you want 700 pixels, but it should be moved down. Where would you like the general anesthetics image to be? What about replacing the the top image? What should go there? --Moni3 (talk) 22:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am talking only about the first image(File:General anesthetics.png): it should be 700px and its best place will be at the end of first section. I would like to make structures in this top image (File:General anesthetics.png) a little bigger to be able to make the whole image 300-400px. Akuznetsova (talk) 22:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the help. It really looks great! Akuznetsova (talk) 00:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made a modified version of that image, you'll need to add the key, but I kept them in the same order as in the original. Tim Vickers (talk) 00:38, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "add key"? I am new to wikipedia so not very used to the language. Anyway, thanks for help very much One question: Is it possible to rename the page a little bit since I will add modern theories too. I would like to name it "Outdated and modern theories of action of general anesthetics"Akuznetsova (talk) 00:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't just Theories of anaesthetic action be simpler? I meant by "key" that, since we need to make images usable in all the different language Wikipedias, I replaced the english legends with numbers, so you'll have to put in the caption what the numbers stand for. All the best Tim Vickers (talk) 02:35, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes I will add the key. Theories of general anaesthetic action will work well (I agree). Akuznetsova (talk) 02:56, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find where I can edit the picture that you modified and where I can add the key (I can't find smth like "edit this page"). Also I still want to leave Noble gases He, Ar, Kr in this top picture because it is supposed to show diversity and simplicity of structures of general anaesthetics :) By the way can I change my user name to my full name (like yours) to "Anna Kuznetsova"? I do not know how to change username without creating a new account... Akuznetsova (talk) 03:07, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The image is here on Commons. For the article, just add the key in the text below the image (the image caption that currently says "Structures of general anesthetics widely used in medicine."). Feel free to modify it further. The easiest way to change what is shown when you sign is to go to "My preferences" at the top of this page, and type "Anna Kuznetsova" in the signature box. Leave that "Raw signature" option unchecked. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way this tool will format references for you. Just enter a PubMed ID number. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Tim! Another question: how can I make subsections (Stereoisomers,Nonimmobilizers, General anesthetic-induced changes in membrane density and fluidity, cutoff effect) under one major heading called "Objections to the lipid hypotheses of general anesthesia (expanded)"? How do you generally make subsections under one section? How I can make my references aligned into 2 columns? I know Pam told us that for that you have to type ((reflist|2)), but it didn't work for me. May be I forgot little detail... Anna Kuznetsova (talk) 20:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You need more than 2 in-line references for that to work. I've added a second in-line reference for you and swapped the template. Notice by the way that it uses curly brackets, not straight ones - it is {{reflist|2}}, rather than ((reflist|2)). Sub-sections use three equal signs, === Tim Vickers (talk) 22:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was formatting my references as you suggested without saving (I wanted to save at the very end). When I formatted all of them towards intext citations something happened (may be I pushed wrong button) and all my formatting disappeared. Is there any way to restore the last version? It says that somebody else was editing it at the same time (edit conflict)and that I have to transfer all my changes into the upper window before I can save. But I made so many changes to my references that I am lost in them and I can't save anything. Please help Anna Kuznetsova (talk) 22:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy and paste all the text from the lower window (your changes) to User talk:Akuznetsova/sandbox. We can sort it out afterwards. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! That's what I did on April,23 Anna Kuznetsova (talk) 14:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please help me with my references. Wherever I have multiple references in one place, I separate them by comma, but it does not look pretty. Can you give advice how to make references look pretty Anna Kuznetsova (talk) 14:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's Manual of Style does not suggest separating citations by comma. It is ok to have them appear back to back without punctuation between. --Moni3 (talk) 15:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
