Hi Tony,
The Nauka module is basically a new space station by itself, when OPSEK is commissioned, Nauka is the Service module which does what Zvezda does for the ISS. The 2 research modules are just laboratories, and the node module has little at all inside it. Nauka is the module with all the life support and engines, computer and so on, so a bathroom of similar design to Zvezda is not really controversial (they'd be busting to go in OPSEK without one). Unlike other nations, Russia send their modules fitted out with equipment already, so it's unlikely that the toilet for OPSEK would be sent separately later on, it wouldn't make sense that way.
Please do as you please with the article though, it needs updating and filling in a LOT of information, they all do. Penyulap ☏ 21:06, 28 Jul 2012 (UTC)
: No worries. When I read bathroom, I thought of a room with four walls, a bathtub, and tiles and so on :-) But then again, they have something they call a divan in the orbital modules of the Soyuz … Yeah, the article needs some work, and I wasn't aware that that module will be the core of OPSEK (what an AWFUL name compared with ALL other stations so far) – maybe I'll put that information there.

::Actually, that's not so bad really, but it ended up looking like a aluminium cylinder on the older Russian stations, (the shower). it took them ages to get the water hot and go though all the setting up and so on that in the end they now wipe themselves with damp cloths. There are videos on youtube of washing hair in orbit, some chick with really long hair too. But yes, Nauka has the lot, you should also talk to User:Craigboy he has some secret info about the ISS hidden away in a hidden stash. I wish he'd just put a lot more of it into the article, because it is great stuff.
::but as ideas go, there are some interesting ones about the ISS, picturing it and so on. I'll go upload an early picture, a sketch that looks like a hotel lobby with someone sitting in a chair reading a book before bed, there is what seems carpet and up and down and all that kind of thing, so it's not like you'd be the first to picture a bathtub :) I'll have to upload that just for you. It's cool. Penyulap ☏ 16:27, 30 Jul 2012 (UTC)

Hypopituitarism
Hi Tony, I saw your edits on :hypopituitarism. I'm not sure if I agree with the use of italics and {{tl|dfn}} tags, so I was wondering if we could discuss the issue on Talk:hypopituitarism. JFW | T@lk 18:02, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, sure, no problem, be right there, need to finish an edit to another article. Tony Mach (talk) 18:06, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 19
Hi. When you recently edited Spacecraft docking and berthing mechanisms, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Salvage and Maritime (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Kosmos 212 & 213
I've reverted your merger of these articles. Combined articles are the exception rather than the rule, and just because it is done elsewhere doesn't mean it should be done here. Spacecraft are all considered notable enough to warrant their own articles, so if anything, the other article should be split rather than these ones merged. --W. D. Graham 13:11, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
: Full ack, then Kosmos 186 and Kosmos 188 should be split, as this was the first unmanned automated docking of spacecraft in the history of spaceflight. Don't know to best do a split, though. Tony Mach (talk) 13:24, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited TKS (spacecraft), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alexander Volkov (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Atopic eczema
Hello, Tony. I have seen that you have Tidied up the Cause section on this page. (great edit by the way)
I have removed your New section on dairy being another cause, because I later mention (in the "Cure" section) Dairy as being a source OF Lectins. Also you say :
Depending on the degree of reaction either a complete avoidance, or a reduction in consumption of dairy is advised.
- I feel this good sentence would be better suited in the Cure section again, but it already kind of IS. - see:
Eliminating all foods containing lectins for a short period (about a week) will allow the skin repair itself. Lectins are found in high concentrations in cereal grains, legumes and vegetables of the nightshade family such as potatoes. However they are also found in considerable amounts in dairy products made by grain fed cattle.
Would you like to discuss this in Talk:atopic_dermatitis ?
Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laoseb97 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
: Some good points, but dairy/milk does contain more than just lectins. I think it is a mistake to reduce milk to lectins. Tony Mach (talk) 05:04, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
: That's true and plausible ... doesn't that make it an exclusive milk allergy though - just like you orginaly said, but that doesn't explain why patients react to many foods other than dairy. Te only possible link the "notorious triggers" have in common ( to my knowledge) IS lectins.
Either way, since we have both addressed that diet is THE main culprit for eczema, Im quite happy to leave the dairy alone (joke) as another posibble theory.Thanks for your input Laoseb97 (talk) 16:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
{{WP:TWL/Header}}
The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.
- Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
- Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
- If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
