Nick Mason

I've seen you have asked about Nick Mason's official status around the time of the release of A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Mason has always been a member of Pink Floyd, and it's the only person who has been a menber all the time in the band. It's correct that Rick Wright's name was printed in smaller letters than Gilmour and Mason on the list of credits on A Momentary Lapse of Reason. In the original gatefold sleeve there was pictures of Gilmour and Mason, but not Wright. Gilmour and Mason wanted Wright back as a full time member, but legal problems regarding the use of the band name forced them to wait to take him back in the band. As I said, Nick Mason was a member all the time, but he was not satisfied with his drumming on the album. That's why many of the tracks on A Momentary Lapse of Reason includes other drummers.

Categories

Hi BillyNair,

you are showing up in the Rubiks Cube category because you have this category tag on your userpage and five different subpages. You should remove these as they cause links to you in the category lists for the articles. There are some rules on this. Let me know if you don't understand what I am talking about and need some help. SpinningSpark 00:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

5x5x5 cube userbox

I replaced the image in the box with one of a solved cube. I figured that might be a bit better fit for being able to solve it without cheating. Hellbus (talk) 02:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Because IP addresses can shift around a lot, the general practice on Wikipedia is to block IPs that vandalize a lot in a short space of time. The blocks themselves are usually short for the same reason. It might seem sensible to block for longer periods, thereby erring on the side of caution, but the general philosophy of Wikipedians is to keep the encyclopedia open to editing as much as possible, because it's the ability to edit that draws in new, useful contributors. (See the page WP:Vandalism for more information).

In this case, the IP belongs to a group of schools. School IPs are frequent sources of vandalism because, of course, there are a lot of kids messing around in the computer lab, and there will always be a few who think it's a bright idea to scrawl nonsense in a Wikipedia article. However, it's not likely that it will be blocked permanently; as I said, Wikipedians dislike doing that for any IP, even one that is almost guaranteed to cause problems. Keep an eye on that IP address; if it vandalizes a lot in a short period of time, you can ask for a temporary block at WP:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Probably, though, that kid has already gone back to the classroom, and the problems are over for now. A. Parrot (talk) 21:38, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Vibration in Abdomen

You asked on the phantom phone syndrome talk page about real vibrations in the abdomen.

This is not phantom. It is not pulsating, not a flutter, and not like an eye flickering. It actually feels like a cell phone on vibration is going off in the rib cage, abdomen, pelvic area, or groin. People can place their hand on top of the area, and it is vibrating. Doctors have no idea what it is, but it is not imagined. The diagnosis offered by doctors rank stupid to idiotic. Such as splenic flexure syndrome, muscle spasm, etc. It is none of those. So far, none of the medical responses have worked either. People have gotten MRI's, X-rays, colonoscopies, etc and found nothing. On the positive side, the buzzing, vibrations do not seem to be harmful or indicative of anything urgent.

Women with a Mirena coil (type of IUD) also get this same type of vibration. But most people don't have an IUD, especially the men.

An Internet search for abdomen vibration shows many people worried about it. Just to show the most popular Internet searches.

• vibration in intestines
• vibration in my lower stomach
• why do i feel a vibration in my lower abdomen
• buzzing feeling in lower abdomen
• vibration in left side of abdomen

So far, only two people claim to have been able to make the buzzing, vibration stop:

• feels like a cell phone on vibrate. Feels like I have a motor turning on and off periodically inside my intestines/pelvis/lower abdomen/groin.
• remedy 1: I take 2000 IU of vitamin D a day, and 2000 mcg of B-12 sub-lingual. I also take 250 mg of magnesium and a calcium citrate supplement that has additional vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese. I started the calcium citrate around the same time as the D3 and B12, so it's possible it could have been something in that, although I had taken a calcium supplement earlier with no effect.
• remedy 2: for me, taking acidophilus and cutting out bread and yeast in my diet. Works like a charm.

I place the above article on the phantom cell phone syndrome page with the following comment: Please do not delete this as there is no other place to document this, and it is very similar to the phantom but this is not phantom.

• People need to know that others have this, that they are not crazy, and that nobody knows what it is or how to remedy it.

Returning to the phantom vibration syndrome:
