I happened to notice the changes you made to Psychologist. FYI, it's not necessary to convert from British spellings to American spellings. In fact, in some cases it's controversial to do that - see Wikipedia:Manual of style#National varieties of English for more details. FreplySpang (talk) 22:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Google Page rank and Bipolar Disorder

We generally don't try to modify articles to give them high google page ranks. We are trying to build an encyclopedia. High google page rank should come(if it comes at all) from our merits as an encyclopedia, not from gaming search engines. JoshuaZ 03:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Original Research

Hi Rob,
I’m a professor at Boston College doing a study on medical information on Wikipedia. I’d like to ask some editors a few questions about their experience. The questions can be found at my userpage user:geraldckane/medsurvey. You are one of the first people I have contacted, I’d also appreciate any feedback about 1) the questions themselves, 2) the methods we are using, 3) other general comments you might have.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank You,

If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Do not remove dispute tags without discussion or fixing the article. Problems are listed on the talk page. Xasodfuih (talk) 07:12, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
