Content dispute - an idea

Here, at Proton therapy, you combined 2 very different and large edits. Especially when there is conflict, it may prove more effective to make the edits in detail (limit an edit to a single section, or single subject), so that objections to and support for the edit are simpler. I am not sure it would have helped in this case, however, and it certainly isn't a rule... just an idea. All the best.- sinneed (talk) 14:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

You comment in proton therapy

Even though this section was sourced from FDA materials, it reads like an add for a new Varian product. Also, this is an encyclopedia article, not a trade journal, and it is not the appropriate forum to report every new device coming to market. Perhaps we should consider adding a section that discusses the various beam delivery and modification methods currently employed in proton therapy (i.e. single and double passive scattering, pencil beam scanning, modulator wheels, energy lamination techniques, milled apertures & compensators, MLCs etc.) in general terms??? Any opinions on this? AE1978 (talk) 22:07, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes. WP:SOFIXIT. You yourself sound like you know more about the nuts and bolts machinery than anybody here, so add what you know. We can't wait for experts who work for commercial proton accelerator makers to show up anytime soon. Don't be afraid of adding "marker" sections that aren't yet filled out, if you know they eventually will be. They serve as targets. Wikipedia is never "done". It's okay if an article doesn't look polished. Just don't leave hanging sentences and bare outlines. SBHarris 22:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

File:Cyclo ramsey daven.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Cyclo ramsey daven.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

• If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|AE1978}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
  or use the {{own}} template.

• If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello

How can I contact you? Do I post a message here or is there a more private work area where I can ask you questions and propose text for the proton therapy section? - MarkFilipak (talk) 02:02, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mark - the usual method it to exchange messages on the user pages, but you have not created one. So I will try to keep my eye on this page and respondAE1978 (talk) 19:14, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I just created a user page - MarkFilipak (talk) 21:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC).

Is there some way to conduct a more private conversation? - MarkFilipak (talk) 21:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC).

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:
