picture crossbow

could you make this picture with a better background? You could lay it on some well cut grass (a leave or two next to it can make this arrangement a beautiful composition) for a picture (if it is suitable for hunting) or with a big target (or several small ones, different ones, etc.) as background (if it is only for sport). Some technical data about its abilities would be nice. (recurve all-metal crossbow with telescopic sight, effective range 100 metres, maximum range 300 metres, etc.) Some pictures from different angles and while loading it (foot and arms visible) could be useful.

Good idea. I'll try getting a picture of it loaded as well. raptor 10:24, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think of this version? raptor 04:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this works out much better. If you have your pictures, could you upload them on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page so they are available to all language wikis. And write a bit of text about its technical feats directly. Wandalstouring 10:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Laws on crossbows

You stated that pistol crossbows are strictly controlled in many areas. That is a bit US-centered because in most parts of the world they are legally a toy for children.

I would appreciate it if we could present an overview about laws on crossbows worldwide (the countries we know, more people can add). But it needs some kind of layout. Wandalstouring 10:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

12/0 ?

Since you participated in the discussion at talk:division by zero about the chart being sold by an (allegedly) educational publisher that says that 1/0 = 0, 2/0 = 0, etc., perhaps it will interest you to know that at this web site where the chart is sold, the publisher now solicits opinions of the product. You can go there and tell them what you think. Michael Hardy 20:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I sure did, thanks. raptor 02:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrath

You left a message on my talk page about creating an article on Wrath. I don't remember nominating such an article for deletion. I may have, but I don't remember doing so. As long as it's a legitimate article, I don't see any problem with creating it. To be honest, I probably won't even find it. Just make sure it differs significantly from anger in order to warrant a separate article. — Frecklefoot | Talk 12:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Portal: Weapons of mass destruction

It seems that you created this portal a while back, but that it has had little done to it since then. Therefore, if you don't mind, I'd like to adopt the portal and attempt to increase its size and mantain the portal with the ultimate intention of bringing up to a decent level, if not featured status. Cromdog (talk) 17:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly don't mind, I'd be grateful if you could work on it. cyclosarin (talk) 04:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to The Fires of Pompeii, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. —TreasuryTag—t—c 11:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiMedicine

Hi

I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.

Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 06:55, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library (talk | edit)

Get free access to research!

...Support Open Access...

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
