P.S. I like messages :-P

I've tidied and interlinked the three articles, but I have no reference texts for these species, so i can't do anything about appearance or behaviour, jimfbleak 15:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Once I started it, I realized how difficult it is. So this looks already much better, and as a wiki everyone should be able to improve it by a little bit.--Mfranck 16:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating peripheral venous catheter for WP:MEDMAT. Have you seen Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine? Judging from your contributions, I'd guess you're a German anaesthetist? All the best, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. You are right, that I am a German anesthesiologist. Actually the president of the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (Hugo Van Aken) used to work in Leuven. Thank you also for expanding the article.Mfranck (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any interest in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine? Tschüs. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to second Steven's request, it'd be great to have an anaethetist/anaesthesiologist on board with the Project! —Cyclonenim^T@lk? 10:06, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mfranck,

I noticed your contribution to the subject of artificial whitewater courses and I wonder if you have information to contribute to a list I am compiling. The list is temporarily on my sandbox page User:HowardMorland/Sandbox. I want to include all artificial whitewater courses that are used for international slalom competition and training for such competition. The list started with all the Olympic venues, and I have added the ones I know about. I am leaving out in-stream courses unless they have been extensively modified like the Ocoee River course used in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. (Perhaps I should include in-stream courses like Bourg St Maurice and L'argentière, but I don't know. In-stream courses are so numerous they should have their own list?) One of my goals is that when you hear of your local paddling star touring the world and competing in various places, you should be able to find the manufactured venues on this list (and maybe the in-stream venues on another list).

I would like to hear your thoughts on my talk page. Thanks. HowardMorland (talk) 04:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
