[edit] Lightbulb Joke
Hi! I think the lightbulb joke really meant strictures! :) Nevilley 09:57, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Leptin
Nice adds to leptin. More please. Lots of hormones out there. Drop by the country club some time (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine). We're not very exclusive. Alteripse 22:57, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Stomach Diagram
Hi,
Your diagram Image:Control-of-stomach-acid-sec.png is quite impressive, congratulations, I have two things:
- could you perhaps make a PNG without lettering or just symbols (A,B,C...) and numbers for use on other language Wikipedias, please
- there is a typo I think "BLOOW" should probably read "BLOOD"

[edit] Fair dealing and fair use
US Fair use seems to be much more liberal than fair dealing - so if something is allowed under fair dealing it will be allowed under fair use, as far as I know. Secretlondon 13:35, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Crests
I've moved your crests page from the main article namespace to your own user space at User:Prisonblues/Crests -- The Anome 14:24, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks, sorry it was just a mis-type --Prisonblues 14:39, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] College colours
A quick note of praise for the excellent college colours that you have added to Selwyn College, particularly the scarf stripes! Thanks - top marks for imaginative use of non-breaking spaces! -- ALoan (Talk) 13:03, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] bold suggestion
P, I've just noticed your gastric secretion control diagram at featured picture candidates. I just learned about the picture list, which accounts for my lateness. Very nice job. The only thing I can think of that's missing is point of action for some of the popular drugs. As you're in the UK, you've been spared (I fervently trust) the lunacy of television ads endlessly (oh yes endlessly!!) importuning laypersons to pressure doctors to prescribe stuff of which they, being layfolk, have no understanding. It's a plague and likely one of the Signs of the impending End Times. Maybe the Fifth Horseman. Or something. Maybe the Lord will only take the US which is unique in this idiocy, I think.
Anyway,...
As I note 1) you're good at this stuff (I'm a word type and hopeless), and 2) a student of physiology, I'd like to suggest a further (related) project if you're lacking further ideas. The Diabetes mellitus article is currently without illustration. A drawing of
- 1) complications (blindness, amputation, vascular problems, ...) and connections would be well or (dare I say and?),
- 2) a drawing of the influences on blood glucose levels (ie, into/outof glycogen, absorption from intestine, uptake by some body cells, ...),
- 3) influences on cellular uptake (exercise, insulin, ...),
- 4) the turnover from glucose to fatty acid metabolism (ie, into and out of ketosis), or
- 5) the mechanism (insofar as now understood) of intra cellular insulin action (nuclear control, PPA action, insulin receptors (there are to my recent surprise, several), ...) I've done the Glucose effect here, have you got a link to other mechanisms that I can use as a start?
would be very well. Each is relevant to understanding diabetes at one or another level, and understanding is the first stage to coping at least as we presently manage. I can suggest little as to illustration strategy/approach, but would note that the article is of considerable interest given the damage DM does and that Readers will include the not so medically/chemically oriented.
I hope you won't take an unsolicted suggestion awry, but you probably know the saying, "what's the reward of an impossible mission done properly?". Best wishes, ww 20:31, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Olympic Rings
This is a very nice image and all, but you can't release it under the GFDL as it is copyrighted/trademarked and the IOC are notorious for persuing those who use it incorrectly. As a result, I've put a fairuse tag on it. Dunc_Harris|☺ 14:09, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Fair enough, hadn't realised they'd be so strict on reproductions of it. --Prisonblues 16:29, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Could you please provide an image copyright tag for this image? Thanks! --Diberri | Talk 22:52, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Cambridge college infobox.
I noticed your "improved" college infoboxes put in after I had cleaned up the code for the main Cambridge infobox - why on earth did you use the old template? Now they all have clunky html tables - nested inside DIVs with lots of unnecessary style properties. Its all a bit of a mess. ed g2s • talk 00:59, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I realise it's not as neat, but it looks much better. It's still easily editable, I don't see the problem in having a little 'clunky' html to get a nice looking style -- Prisonblues 09:58, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Well if you look at the cambridge infobox it looks exactly the same but without the horrible code (which, as I said before, I'd cleaned up). Also I'd much prefer an id="toc" table that skins in with the rest of the wikipedia rather than someone's personally styled box over which there has been no discussion or approval. ed g2s • talk 10:45, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Apologies, read your comment too quickly and I thought you were saying you preferred the old infoboxes on the college pages because they were in neater wikipipe format. I took the html infobox format from the Oxford Uni page a while back and from there made the college infoboxes. In the time that I was making the college infoboxes, you converted the infobox format from html to wikipipe, making my formatting out of date. I am interested in using user settings via id=toc, but can't seem to find much information on exactly how that works. How much of the formatting of the box does id=toc define, here I got rid of most of the formatting at the start of the table, but wasn't sure how much of the formatting in the middle of the box can be removed as well. How much of the rest of the formatting can be removed? -- Prisonblues 12:33, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- the toc id sets the border to (1px solid #AAAAAA), the background to #F9F9F9, the padding to 5px and the font size to 95%. This is set from monobook.css - which each user can customise by editing their User:username/monobook.css page. See User:Ed g2s/Cambridge infobox for a toc styled version. ed g2s • talk 13:51, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
There's now a template for this (of the old pre-id style, which looks a little better, IMO) at Template:Oxbridge College Infobox.
James F. (talk) 17:23, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Ok, cool. Basically, I've already gathered all the information in my namespace here, now we've got a template for all this, it's pretty obvious that the template should be used, I'll start making infoboxes using the template. I've also moved all the conversations about this to the Template discussion page -- Prisonblues 18:40, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] College Crest
Hi, I was thinking of nominating one of your college crests for WP:FPC. Which one would you chose as a favourite? -- Solipsist 19:14, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks, some of them I'm quite happy with, but some clearly need some more work. Don't think I'm going to have time to do anything for a while though as I just got back to uni. If I was going to pick one I like the Trinity one. There's an embossed version too, which I prefer, but people in general seem to prefer the flat ones. Maybe put both up in the nomination, and see which gets the most votes. Oh, and I've been informed it's a 'heraldic shield' not a crest, just about all the shields are named wrong on wikipedia, not a lot you can do about it now except re-upload them all but that seems like a huge waste of disk space. --Prisonblues 09:43, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
-
- Sorry, it looks like the reaction of WP:FPC is mostly negative - or rather they like the drawing but don't wan't to promote it as featured. Its still got two weeks to run, though once a nomination picks up more opposes than supports it is rare for the tide to turn. I suspect that there is a little bias against diagrams and drawings in general, but at least you know that some people appreciate the crests. -- Solipsist 07:04, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks anyway, Solipist. Nice to know some people like it. Will try to get round to the rest when I have the time (won't be for a while though), would be nice to have the full collection, the best on the net. --Prisonblues 07:16, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I would just like to thank you for your work on these shields. It would indeed be great to have an online repository of the Cambridge college shields. If they were originally done in a vector format, then it would also be great to put the vector files up on Wiki Commons (when they allow vector formats, which should be soon). Also, it would be great to have the Oxford college shields too, but I understand that would be a lot of work. Toby Ord 12:42, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shield of Trinity College, Cambridge
Prisonblues - we have used your excellent image of the embossed Trinity College Shield on the College website ([1]), with a reference to the GNU FDL and a link to your Crests page. Please let us know if this isn't OK. - Trinity College Webmaster
- Yeah, that's fine. Glad you like it. Thanks for the acknowledgment. --Prisonblues 17:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pic of the day
Hi Prisonblues,
Just to let you know that your illustration Image:Control-of-stomach-acid-sec.png is due to make a reappearance on Pic of the Day on the 27th July. I've used the same caption as last time, but you can make any changes at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/July 27, 2005. -- Solipsist 21:02, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gibraltar flags image
Good evening. I noticed that someone with too much free time had uploaded a rather painstakingly edited version of your Gibraltar flags image, where all the flags have been changed to Spanish ones! I reverted it (as someone else already had done) but thought you may want to keep an eye on it, even if only for entertainment purposes. Cheers! — pmcm 21:25, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Request
Hi Prisonblues,
My name is Fernanda Viégas and I have been studying Wikipedia for a while now (you can see a paper I published on the subject here). I would like to ask you a few questions about your activities as a Wikipedia image creator. I am fascinated by the pictorial side of Wikipedia and it would be great to hear about this community from one of its members. Would you be available to participate an email survey this week? Thanks, — Fernanda 03:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC) | talk
[edit] Image:Freon12 suva134a.png
Could you change the caption for the first molecule? Freon™ is a trademark of DuPont, the proper notation is something more like CFC-12. Argyriou 21:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
