Hi. I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're doing a great job writing articles and adding references, etc. I even nominated one of your contributions to be featured in the Did You Know section of the front page. The bad news is that you're not getting the free image concept here. You've been blocked here for uploading non-free images, and now I see you are doing the same thing at Wikimedia Commons. Excepting your own photos and photos that are clearly old where the copyright has expired, I am going to delete a number of your uploads there as copyright violations. The PD-ineligible tags you used there are reserved for cases where no copyright can be claimed - images of lines and shapes and words, etc. Not photographs. I am going to recommend that you refrain from uploading images here or there (except, as I said, your own photographs and photographs that are from before 1923 and clearly in the public domain). I am happy to discuss with you and guide you along, but please refrain in the meantime. Thanks. Wknight94 ^talk 03:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I should point you to the relevant policies here but I'll give you my take first. The key to images here - as well as content - is that everyone should be able to use - and even modify - every image completely free of charge and without permission, even for financial gain. It is not sufficient to credit the copyright holder, and it is not even sufficient if you get permission to upload an image. The image has to be completely free and available downstream from Wikipedia or Commons. Take the university year book pictures you uploaded. Could the university(ies) have made a fuss and sued you over their pictures appearing here without permission? What if I reproduced that image on my own web site, and made a lot of money with them? Could they have made a fuss or sued me? Since the answers to these are usually "yes", we are very particular about what images are allowed. On Commons, the best page to become familiar with is Commons:Licensing. Your use of U.S. Army images there is probably safe since works of the U.S. Government are usually free (there are even exceptions there though). Older images - 1923 and earlier - typically fall into the public domain and are usually acceptable. Otherwise, you need to be very careful with images that you find on the Internet or elsewhere. Flickr now has a nice feature where you can restrict search results to only freely-available images - but even then you have to be sure to only include images which are available to modify (make derivatives) and are available for commercial purposes.

With all that said, Wikipedia itself does have an exception to the free image policy, Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. While based on U.S. fair use laws, they are more strict. They are generally for cases where no free equivalent would be possible. Music album covers are a common example - how else would you pictorially represent an album without a non-free album cover? It's possible that your photos of people who have died would qualify under Wikipedia's non-free content policy, but Commons has no such policy. It is 100% free.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions. It's a different world here, and it takes some getting used to. Wknight94 ^talk 02:54, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Truth drug

I came across your contributions to Truth drug. thanks for helping out. However I have two requests: Please don't delete end material, such as inter-wiki links, without a good reason. And please don't sign your work.   Will Beback  talk  18:36, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt reply. By the way, on talk pages new comments are placed at the end of the page. (I know, there are a lot of rules!)   Will Beback  talk  20:58, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for expanding and improving the article on this noteworthy person (I'd never heard of him before reading his NYT obit). ^Bongo_matic 18:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Juan Rosai, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Your recent edit changed the article in a potentially-controversial way which altered its content, so your flagging of the edit as "minor" was inappropriate. Please see my prior comments and edit summaries as to why the use of the word "significant" is improper in the article lead; in short, it violates WP:PEACOCK. We need to show, not tell. —Notyourbroom (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on my edits. I will be more granular about what I label as "minor" editing in the future. Best, Mark Wick --Mrwick1 (talk) 21:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Images - more, medical lounge

Great pictures! You are encouraged to upload images on to the Wikipedia Commons; this allows them to be used with great ease in all Wikimedia projects, e.g. all non-English language Wikipedias. Feel free to drop by the medical lounge (a meeting place for medical minds on Wikipedia) and/or say hello on my talk page, if you have any questions and/or comments.

Quick note on date formats

You shouldn't use the American data format of MM-DD-YYYY (or the European DD-MM-YYYY for that matter). Either spell out the date (18 November 2009 or November 18, 2009), or provide it in the ISO standard format YYYY-MM-DD. Uusually, I spell it out in text (where the ISO format is somewhat ugly) and choose to use American or European forms depending on what region of the globe the subject focuses on. For references, I go with ISO for brevity. The reason for doing this is that the common format of either the U.S. or Europe is guaranteed to cause confusion for roughly half the readers, as the formats look the same, but are easily confused for one another (particularly when the day of the month is 12 or less). —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 23:05, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Thymoma

Thanks for updating thymoma. I wrote the basic draft years ago but haven't recently revisited the topic as it's quite far removed from my daily practice.

Has anyone invited you to join WP:MED yet?

Could I point out that "edited text" is probably not a very useful edit summary, and that ideally the summary should give some indication as to what changes you have made. JFW | T@lk 22:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Great to have a pathologist around! Hope you might be able to upload some slides under a free license to illustrate some articles. WP:MED is a collaboration of medical contributors. We discuss topics of common interest on WT:MED.

Any reason why your userpage redirects to the Steig article? JFW | T@lk 00:02, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Mark R. Wick???

Dear Dr. Wick:

D*mn ... are you THE Mark R. Wick??? You're not JUST a pathologist, you're a legend!

Please do me a favor and "autograph" my user page, would ya??? THANKS! Can't wait to write with YOU ... would be like dancing with Fred Astaire, or hitting some balls with Jack Nicklaus, etc.

Best humble regards: Cliff

P.S. - If you'd help me out with a picture (or two) for the c-SCLC article, it would be GREATLY appreciated, sir!

Response

Thanks for your message. Not sure how the redirect came about, but it probably appeared when you moved the Steig article to its rightful place (the wiki will usually leave behind a redirect, unless you ask it not to).

There are lots of articles that require images. I'm sure you will get requests as time wears on. To join the medical group, go to WP:MED and follow the links to the membership area. JFW | T@lk 19:55, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Again, Dr. Wick ...

Dear Sir:

I wrote you a few weeks ago, worshipped you for a second, etc. You kindly, and with great humility, wrote me back and told me if I ever needed anything, to just ask. BAD mistake on your part :-)

With that in mind, I was wondering if you would do me the honor (when you get a sec) of doing a real, honest, knowledgeable review of two articles I have written to the 90%-or-so complete state, namely combined small cell lung carcinoma and large cell lung carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype. I have had a couple folks look at them, but best I can tell, they really dont have a good grasp of the material. For example, on the LCLC-RP one, I referenced the VAST majority of ALL Pubmed references on that variant, and he rates it a "Start Class" article. :-O OUCH

I know you GOTTA be busy, but you are the only *real* cancer pathologist I've found on here so far, so THERE YOU GO! And suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

With very best regards, and thanking you in advance: Cliff L. Knickerbocker, MS (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

A request for a review

Dr. Wick, I was poking around for an expert to review a request at the WP:FEED desk, and came up with Cliff L. Knickerbocker’s name. I asked him if he would take a look at an article about Crizotinib (an ALK inhibitor being developed to treat advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma). While looking around his talk page, I saw the reference to you. Given the nature of the topic, and your expertise, I hope you would be willing to help us figure out whether this article is acceptable.

The request is here, while the actual draft is User:ScienceRulz2012/Crizotinib

Thnaks in advance, and thnaks for your contributions to Wikipedia.SPhilbrickT 01:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Pathology Immunostain Wiki

Dear Dr. Wick,

I was delighted to see that you are also interested in the wiki concept, and that you have contributed so much to Wikipedia. I started the Pathology Resident Wiki (http://pathinfo.wikia.com) to give residents a more complete directory of pathology fellowship programs and other useful info for trainees. Several requests were made to create an immunostain wiki, and so I added that to the site (http://pathinfo.wikia.com/wiki/Pathology_Immunostain_Wiki). Seeing as you have abundant experience with immunostains and pathology in general, and as you are such a prolific editor of wikis, I wanted to let you know about this new wiki, which I hope will become a detailed, practical, free, and up-to-date resource for pathologists. Any contributions you may want to add, especially in the form of images and/or practical tips (personal experience and opinions are essentially allowed on our wiki...we don't hold to such strict terms as Wikipedia), would be greatly welcomed. Thank you so much for your dedication to educating fellow pathologists!

Best regards,

Jerad Gardner, MD

Hey Mark - Come In *Over*

Hello Dr. Wick:

I see you're been around "low profile" (as usual) a time or two recently. Hope things are well for you. As I've mentioned to you before, my interests lie in rarer lung cancer "variants". I've not been doing any "content work" lately, but I am getting ready to start again with a vengeance ... which brings me to the purpose of this post.

You are the only person I've been able to find around here with REAL weight/expertise in my area, so I've created a "Personal Peer Review" section on my Talk Page. In this section, I'll list various stuff I've created/edited that I wish you'd take a look at, maybe check for accuracy, make edits and or suggestions, add an image, whatever you think needs to be done.

In return for your help, I'll spend some time "copy-editing" your biographical articles. I'm really good at doing stuff like that (other peoples writing anyway). Obvious errors (i.e. typos, spelling, spacing, etc.) I will just fix directly. Anything that isn't obvious or "objective", and by THAT I mean "sentence structure/flow" type issues 99% of the time, I'll not change it myself, but instead will post "suggestions" on the article Talk Page for you to implement, modify, or ignore as you see fit.

I know you're busy, and got your own stuff to do, so no big deal in any case - I'm just on the proverbial "fishing expedition", casting about for collaborators here, and you represent a blue whale :-)

You have overwritten the article Philip E. Bernatz with a different person Francis Michael Forster? You seem to have the same thing previously with William A. Wojnar. This is very odd. Could you explain this? Tassedethe (talk) 22:36, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Minor style issue

Please take note of a couple of minor style issues. The Wikipedia manual of style (MOS) has specific guidelines for the use of titles and postnominal initials in articles. More specifically, the style guideline prohibits the usage of postnominal educational credentials, such as PhD, MD, MS, etc. See WP:CREDENTIAL for the guideline. Also, the use of titles such as Mr., Dr. and Professor in association with an article subject's name is routinely discouraged, see WP:SURNAME for the guideline. As an example, the article on Michael E. DeBakey currently appears to follow most or all of the style guidelines. Thanks for your assistance in making Wikipedia a better encyclopedia.

Replaceable fair use File:Dr. Philip Stieg.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Dr. Philip Stieg.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. January (talk) 17:18, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Miles James Jones.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Miles James Jones.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Mendelssohn

Hi there! I see you have added, and been reverted (this time not by me), again. Please understand that the Wikipedia protocol, (which I didn't generate) requires that information (and especially speculative or tentative information) be supported by third-party citations WP:CITE. They are exactly the sorts of citation which you, as an academic, would use in your published work, or would expect to be used by anyone discussing your own work. That is: not anonymous internet blogs, not other articles in any Wikipedia. Ideally for this sort of article they should be from reputable publications or peer-reviewed magazines. The present Felix Mendelssohn article was peer-reviewed by Wikipedia editors, including the quality of its citations, before being granted GA status.

More particularly as regards the present situation, to be warrantable in the Felix Mendelssohn article, any linking of CADASIL and Mendelssohn should be supported by a citation which explicitly mentions not only CADASIL but the Mendelssohn family, (and preferably Felix himself). Please find such a citation before reinserting CADASIL in the article. Thanks, --Smerus (talk) 14:59, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
