List of suicides

edit

  Hi, Helge Skjeveland. Thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to to List of suicides, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edits had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 08:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

References

Do you have a reference for

"An intervention to prevent or lessen length disparity can be to perform an epiphysiodesis on the distal frmoral and proximal tibial/fibular condyles, so that limb's growth is artificially stunted, and by the time of epiphyseal (growth) plate closure, the legs are more equal in length. Other surgery to re-balance muscular agonist/antagonist imbalances may also be helpful.

We at Wikipedia have no way to determine the expertise of our editors and thus our text must be supported by the references we use per WP:V.
Google books is a useful place to find supporting refs. With respect to epidemic polio being 20th century this is a good ref [1] If it was do to a change in the disease (like we see with some strains of influenza) or simply greater travel I am not sure.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your talk page please reply on mine) 15:30, 29 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
