Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toothache, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cavity (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

OTRS
Do you know how to submit info to OTRS? I've received pictures of regenerative endo from Ken Hargreaves (author of Pathways of the Pulp) for our article. I can upload them but I'm not sure how to submit the info that we release them. Ian Furst (talk) 19:54, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- Sure! Email me and I'll send you the address and info you need to submit. You can do so by going to my userpage and clicking on the link on the left within "tools" called "email this user" -- and I recommend you activate this feature for your own account. Do so here: [1].

Step 1: Toothache for GA
Gah, just received a peer review response for one of my recently submitted papers which basically said "It's **** so please rewrite it and then we may publish it". I have decided to make it my goal this year to stop publishing off-wiki and focus my attention on publishing through wiki ... who is with me! =D Lesion (talk) 19:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's crazy user:Lesion. I'm an associate editor (and frequent peer reviewer) for JCDA (journal), and I can tell you that your writing is good compared to many of the articles I review. My impression is you tend to write more technically and longer than I would, but my writing style is often critiqued as too "familiar". Let's get toothache to GA and try and get it published. Illegitimi non carborundum. Ian Furst (talk) 21:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Discussion
Hi Ian, I'm very interested in working with you on the Wisdom tooth article, but due to geographic reasons my internet access is quite limited at the moment, so I am not able to participate responsively until after the 15th, when I will be able to respond daily, rather than once every few days. Sorry! LT910001 (talk) 14:27, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- No worries, we're building an encyclopedia, not finishing it right LT. I'm going to chop some of the obvious stuff out, when you're back hit me up and we can build it. Think about what clinical photo's would be good too. Ian Furst (talk) 14:32, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Tale of a tooth
For copyedit, you're welcome.
May I tell you about my Mom's shoulder? She must have been between 35-40 or so, many years ago, and got terrible pain in a shoulder. Couldn't lift her arm to wash her hair. Injections and phys-therapy were tried. Our family doctor had been around a while and knew a lot; he told Mom to have her wisdom teeth checked. Sho nuff, after delicate oral surgery, her shoulder was OK. I reckon old Dr. Day didn't publish about this problem, but someone else must have? (Maybe it's here somewhere and I just haven't seen it.) Cheers, --Hordaland (talk) 14:57, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- As I (barely) understood it, it was the nerve affected by the impacted tooth somehow sending the signals. But I certainly don't know. I do remember that the oral surgery was said to take a long time and was unusually delicate. Somehow doubt it was placebo or bruxism. :)
- So. This not a known phenomenon, I take it. --Hordaland (talk) 21:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds very strange. Wisdom tooth pain can radiate (and presumably also be referred) to the neck (see Pericoronitis#Signs_and_symptoms), but this doesn't easily explain the muscle weakness. Inability to lift the arm up in this manner would point to a problem with trapezius (e.g. accessory nerve damage) but ofc other muscles invovled in lifting arm...lat dorsi, deltoid, etc. As suggested by Ian, it is plausible that the underlying pain or occlusal interference from the wisdom teeth was responsible for aggravating muscular parafunction ... chronic abnormal use of the trapezius due to irritation from the wisdom teeth. The facial muscles in TMD can become very weak over time because the person begins to fear to use the muscle (see Temporomandibular_joint_disorder#Psychosocial_factors). Diagnostic flags I would look for here would be pain that is worst first thing in the morning and then slowly resolves during the day (nighttime parafunction) or pain that is minimal upon waking and slowly gets worse throughout the day (indicating daytime muscular parafunction). There is so often a muscular component to orofacial pain, even if it is not the main underlying cause, the pain is often enough to cause acute myofascial pain as people respond to the pain by clenching/grinding the teeth, frowning and grimacing with their facial muscles. After a few days this can get very sore indeed and not uncommonly accounts for a significant proportion of the pain. Lesion (talk) 22:41, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- dammit??? user:lesion. I see people with wisdom tooth pain all day Hordaland, there would be no direct connection to the pain (to the best of my knowledge) and it falls way out of the "typical" symptoms but your family doc must have seen something or clued into it in the history. Don't people with sleep disorders develop atypical myofascal pains? Ian Furst (talk) 00:05, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Anesthesia article
Thanks very much for the message, Ian. By all means, please go ahead and get the ball rolling with respect to that page. In its current iteration, it is at best an embarrassment to my specialty. That article has suffered greatly due to the efforts of one or two editors who appear to have some sort of axe to grind, and I prefer not to become embroiled in such matters if possible. Like you, I would like to see this article become a GA at some point in the future. Best Wishes! DiverDave (talk) 03:32, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Perfect DiverDave. My plan is to simply follow the MEDMOS rules and layout. If the editors choose to participate, we can have the debate about where "personnel" goes and what reliable sources are. All the best. Ian Furst (talk) 11:31, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Request for mediation rejected
The request for formal mediation concerning Chikungunya, to which you were listed as a party, has been declined.

Toothache
Hi Ian, I've been through the whole article now and soon I feel it will be ready for GAN. We just need to tighten things up, reduce repetition, reduce wordiness (often my fault for long phrasing) and make sure everything is referenced that needs to be referenced. I have experimented with the layout in the most recent edits and turned the treatment section into a more generic discussion, and moving anything specific to the respective causes sections. Also, when you added the link ASA to the treatment section, what did you mean? Assume that you didn't mean ASA physical status classification system as the context doesn't make sense for that. Perhaps we should also make the prognosis section generic... thoughts? Lesion (talk) 11:28, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- I've done the honors. Usually have a variable length of time ... maybe a week or so before someone takes reviewer task, so there is still time for us to make changes before then. Lesion (talk) 13:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- I saw you had re-nominated dental implant. As I said I am not very knowledgeable on implants ... also because of our collaboration on other articles, I might not be a objective and critical when reviewing your work compared to the work of another editor. I would be fine if another editor took the main reviewer task to chip in and give extra feedback. If you like I can post a notification in a few places to attract a reviewer? Lesion (talk) 14:09, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- There might be benefit in both cases to have a "non dental" person to review the article. Lesion (talk) 14:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- I posted on the help desk yesterday, unfortunately there have been no takers. Suspect that dental implant is a pretty intimidating article for most editors. Perhaps should place a notification on WTMED? Lesion (talk) 16:57, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Lesion will do thx for trying Ian Furst (talk) 17:03, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
response
Dear Ian Thank you for your suggestions. First, regard conflict of interest, I was setting the record straight. Your conclusion about unreferenced content are not correct. I would suggest that you read the papers we have published. a peer-reviewed publication, which was subsequently reiterated in a science article is not unreferenced. If you can reference your claim then it would be helpful. If you are changing content which is referenced then you have an equal and perhaps higher burden to substantiate your claim. Nad I urge you to do. There is no example of growing bone sub-periosteally by just injecting a biomaterial. Sinus lift involves remodeling of alveolar bone and the in vivo bioreactor involves formation of bone from the periosteum through intra membranous ossification. I am sure you aware of the fundamental differences.
Regarding, the attribution of the invention to me, that is a fact and that is borne our by articles and the patent filings. You can check it out.

Hello Ian. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the hard work you have put in thus far in improving the Anesthesia article. It is now much more in keeping with MEDMoS, much more balanced, and far more useful to readers of Wikipedia than it was before you undertook to revise it. Best Wishes! DiverDave (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2014 (UTC) |
Ty
Thanks for that msg Ian. Yes it is a wide-scoped topic and I think we both learned a lot =) I would like to work a bit more on the article with you before we apply for the journal publication thing. P.S do you see what I mean about a degree of chance as to whether an article passes GA or not? Depends very much on the reviewer's standards ;P It would be good to see some more formal guidance about how to review a medical GA... I think should be reviewed by persons with a medical background and persons without a medical background. Lesion (talk) 13:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Toothache
Hi, congratulations on the recent GA. I have nominated it for Did you know, which will hopefully result in it appearing on the main page. The link is Template:Did you know nominations/Toothache. Thanks, Matty.007 17:56, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Dead links
Hi Ian, re: your edits to Dentistry, see the guideline on what to do with dead references – they generally shouldn't be removed except as a last resort. As for the link you removed, It might not be the most reliable source, but at least it cites its references! I've therefore reinstated it using using a version archived at the Wayback Machine. I've also used the edit summary search tool to find any other instances where you removed dead links, and did a similar operation on the link you removed at 100th Regiment of Foot (Prince Regent's County of Dublin Regiment) way back in June 2011. Sorry if I may seem overzealous, but dead reference removal is one of my pet peeves on Wikipedia. Graham87 05:56, 21 March 2014 (UTC) Graham87No worries Graham87 - I didn't know. I have no memory of the old one but this latest one, the link was dead, the editor copied and pasted stuff from the way-back machine into his blog and posted it. Thanks for correcting it. Ian Furst (talk) 10:47, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
dental implant
Ian Furst, thanks for your explanation and question.
I added the anchor, so that I could create a redirect page to that section. It makes it easier to find when searching.
I have been using pmid and isbn templates for about a year now, because a bot automatically fills in all the data. I did not know there were any disadvantages of using the pmid or isbn templates. Although the Project Medicine talk page contains a long debate, the Project Medicine article still recommends using PubMed ID or ISBN, without qualification. Does that need to be changed?
The only reason changed the template, was because the reference provided no links. The only visible change I thought I was making, was to provide a link to PubMed, which provides numerous cross-references, and to the author's free version. Considering that most journal articles are government funded, it is too bad that taxpayers must pay again to see them.
If there is a translation problem with pmid or isbn, it would seem better to fix those templates, rather than writing the proposed bot to fix all the references using the pmid or isbn templates.
Should the documentation for the pmid or isbn be modified to explain their shortcomings?
I assume you have been at this a lot longer than I have, so I respect your judgment.
Thanks again for your message on my talk page. Wikfr (talk) 23:19, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Please check to make sure I have done it correctly this time. Thanks for your help. Wikfr (talk) 02:38, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Usually journal articles make their formal appearance behind a paywall, that shows only the abstract for free. When you click on the document identifier in Wikipedia, such as the PMID, you get to the paywall. However, most publications also allow the author to post the pre-print to the author's web site, and allow free access. I can usually find a free version, by searching for the paper's title and/or author. Wikfr (talk) 22:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Dental implant
The article Dental implant you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Dental implant for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of TonyTheTiger -- TonyTheTiger (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- This is the first article that I have both failed and passed. I did not realize I was reviewing an article I had already passed. Either I had been confused that the article was still listed at GAN or because I was having surgery I had mistaken my familiarity with the content for my personal reading vs. prior review.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:56, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- Now I see the bot has mistaken a pass for a fail as well. This is crazy.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- TonyTheTiger Thank you very much for all your hard work on the review. Much appreciated. You'd previously failed the article, I assume the bot picked that up. All the best. Ian Furst (talk) 17:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Request for some input in GA review of Leukoplakia
Hi Ian, I am reviewing Leukoplakia, but unfortunately I do not know the ins and outs of Leukoplakia as you might. I've more-or-less done a complete review and am satisfied that it will eventually be promoted, but I would appreciate if you could run through the article and look specifically for any errors or misrepresentations of current consensus. I've already made comments on prose, checked images, and done a check for verifiability, but it'd be nice if I could get a specialist eye to look over the article briefly, too. The review is here: Talk:Leukoplakia/GA1 and if you could add your comments under a 'Comments from Ian Furst' subheading it'd be much appreciated.
