Warning
If you want to reach me faster, please post on my french talk page (I read it more often than my english one). Posting in English is OK.
Bonjour Cdnc :) I hope you like the place and choose to stay.
Some links that may be of use:
- Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers
- Wikipedia:How to edit a page
- Wikipedia:Village pump - ask questions you may have here, or leave a message on my talk page
It may be a good idea to instead of just creating an article with an interwiki link, to make a stub article instead. Not all english readers are bilingual! :)
Thanks and keep contributing :) Dysprosia 10:14, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- sure, I just make a fast scan of the pages I'm concerned. I found two existing pages that were empty, I just put the link, next time I will start wrtiting a small text for these pages if they are still empty. Cdnc 10:18, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Ok, that sounds good :) Dysprosia 10:21, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

the vacuum device
"Vacuum matress" really belongs at vacuum mattress (with two "t"'s). I'd be happy to move it if you don't know how or don't want to? - Nunh-huh 07:59, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- No problem, and it's not an English error, just a spelling one. They pop out at me. (also you may want to change "cervicall collar" to "cervical" in that article.) If it's any consolation, I can never get the accents in words like Hélène right... <g> - Nunh-huh 08:04, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I'm more than happy to modify articles, but sometimes when someone is relatively new (as I got the feeling you were) they can take that the wrong way. But I'm glad to see you are made of sterner stuff (and now recognize that you're not all that new<g>). - Nunh-huh 08:14, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Well, thanks. I'm not always so gentle, but I have a soft spot for Francophones, because they always spell "Restoration" as "Restauration" and that's just plain cute! - Nunh-huh 08:48, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I didn't realize we had a problem, but you are right. The article at "restauration" belongs as "restoration". "Restauration" is not a real word in English: that article seems to have started as a part of French history. See! I told you Francophones love that spelling<G>. Nunh-huh 09:09, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
With regard to Talk:evacuation, I would say that transport sanitaire could be translated Category:Medical transport but that Category:Patient transport may be the slightly more common term: either really would do, and you could probably put "lifting, moving, and transporting" all in the same category.
As for "scoop" (from Talk:Stretcher), it's a bit out of my field, but certainly there are "scoop stretchers" (the kind that you can slip under the patient without moving him - you can see examples and maybe get translation ideas at this catalog (http://www.med-worldwide.com/scoop.html)), but I think it is sort of slang for the process of "grab and put on the stretcher": for relevage I would simply say lifting. ("Lifting" for going from the ground to the stretcher, "moving" for moving the stretcher to the ambulance, "transporting" for getting to the hospital). But docs currently working in Emergency Rooms may be able to be of more help on this: you could ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine. -- Nunh-huh 20:18, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
From internal bleeding
You wrote "feeling of thickness, weakness, thirst (do not give anything to drink!);" Why not? Can the reason be added to the article as well? — Kieff | Talk 08:20, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the more info. I'll add that whenever I get the chance And btw, I'm not a native english speaker, I'm from Brazil :P — Kieff | Talk 15:28, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)
Medic?
Hi Cdang, I've noticed some very good recent work on medical articles. I understand you're not a doctor (or are you?) Nevertheless, you're warmly invited to participate in Wikiproject "Clinical medicine".
From internal bleeding: (do not give anything to drink!) is a bit of a violation of Wikipedia style. I really recommend not writing in the second person; readers do not consult Wikipedia when they suspect internal bleeding; they call an ambulance. In old Wikipedia articles, the writers sometimes use this format, but it is not recommended... JFW | T@lk 19:36, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Not a medic? No worries. Your first-aid work is highly appreciated - you may have more experience in traumatology than me.... JFW | T@lk 07:53, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
but in France, most major trauma happen on the road, not in cultural events...
Here in the UK, it's pub brawls... JFW | T@lk 08:10, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hello, did you happen to read my comment on Wikipedia:Bot requests regarding slipknot links? - RedWordSmith 01:12, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)

Nice improvements to SAMU, thanks ! :) Rama 18:31, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Images
Hi ! Following your suggestions on my talk page, I've done three other drawings; you cann see them on "First Aid Drawings" (three last ones). Comments welcome of course, is there is still something wrong, or if we need something else, don't hesitate to drop me a note ! Cheers ! Rama 07:44, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
moving pages
If you come across an article that is inappropriately titled, use the "move" button at the top of the page, instead of copy-and-pasting the content into the newly titled article. This automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new one. The article space at the old title then doesn't need to be deleted (I noticed you were marking articles for speedy deletion that you had moved, like First Fire Brigade, Marsaille(s) Marine Fire Brigade, etc). It's also a lot easier than manually copying the page. Lachatdelarue (talk) 15:45, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- It's generally better to just leave the redirects in place, unless the title is totally unrelated (like in a vandalism/testing case), since someone was obviously mistaken as to what the group was called, so someone else might be too. As they say "redirects are cheap" :) Lachatdelarue (talk) 15:59, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Instructions Group
I am not sure why you blanked this article and then tagged it for speedy deletion. I agree that the article may not be sufficiently of interest for Wikipedia, and if it is worth keeping it should be renamed, but it is certainly not a speedy deletion candidate. You should not have blanked it (at least, not without giving a reason), but if you wish, you can nominate it for vfd.-gadfium 03:26, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Dis-moi, est-ce que tu penses aller à [Wikimania (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Accueil)] ? Il y aurait une niche écologique pour des secouristes... Rama 10:03, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
binomial (disambiguation)
Hello. I don't think abbreviation of the word "disambiguation" is appropriate in the title of this article. The titles of Wikipedia disambiguation pages that include that word generally contain the whole word. So I've moved this one. Also, I think the appropriate way to link to this page is usually the sort of notice that I've just put at the top of the article titled binomial, not by adding it to a "see also" list at the bottom of the article. People looking for other meanings of the same word will seldom scroll all the way down to the bottom if the article is long. Michael Hardy 18:19, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I don't like either abbreviation, in the titles nor in the articles, but I think I saw it several times so I thought it was the rule.
It is the rule to write {{disambig}} in order to cause this notice to appear:
But then the reader of the article does not see the abbreviation. Michael Hardy 19:00, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Before deleting this discussion from my talk page as no longer current, I have one other comment. It seems English is not your native language, and one of the clearest signs of that is that you may fail to realize that
- I don't like either abbreviation
- and
- I don't like abbreviation either
- mean two different things. The first means "I don't like either one of those two abbreviations." The second means "I, too, dislike abbreviation." Michael Hardy 22:02, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I will not answer on your personal page because it seems you want to keep it "clean". If everyou come back here :
- yes you're right, I'm a froggy. Thanks for the tip.

Water analogy to electricity
I've started a rough draft for such an article here: User:Omegatron/water analogy Please edit it as you see fit, and I will move it to a real article. Is Water analogy to electric circuits a good title?
P.S. I like your diagrams! Do you upload them to the Commons? - Omegatron 13:45, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Wildfire and number conventions
- Copied from User talk:Lommer
Hello,
thanks for correcting my English on Wildfire. I just have one remark: you replaced the non-breakable spaces by commas on the number, and this is in contradiction with the international standard, see [1] (http://www1.bipm.org/jsp/en/ViewCGPMResolution.jsp?CGPM=22&RES=10). I know this is not the habit in all countries, but I think respecting the international standards is a way to facilitate international exchanges and to respect the NPOV. It thus reverted to .
Regards
Cdang|write me 08:58, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, I did replace those spaces with commas, and I winced as I did it. I actually prefer the European system of decimals, etc, but the Wikipedia Manual of Style actually dictates that we use commas to separate groups of three and periods for decimal places. I agree that it's not really NPOV, but wikipedia does have to have some standard for number formats. I will revert the article back to the comma standard. -Lommer | talk 00:50, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Canules de Guedel
Salut ! Dis, je pensais, est-ce que tu vois comment on pourrait illustrer la procédure d'indertion des canules de Guedel ? ça pourrait être bien pour l'article Guedel Pattern Airway et fr:Canule_de_Guedel... A+ ! Rama 10:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
