Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Honorary degree

Honorary Medical Degree
I hereby award you an honorary medical degree, first class, for your contributions in medicine. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:17, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I assume this means I am now licensed to perform surgery. I already have a chainsaw and a children's book of anatomy. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:01, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
That's only with a surgical degree. Whispyhistory (talk) 11:39, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Pity, I was just sharpening the chainsaw. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:40, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
I recently performed an autopsy on a small packet of sausages. They didn't die of natural causes, that's for sure. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:05, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Anyone want to buy an almost new chainsaw? Would suit someone with a degree in surgery. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:47, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Merry Merry

Happy Christmas!
Hello P,
Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that

Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?"

My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. MarnetteD|Talk 19:40, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Refs and NHLE

Please take the time to provide proper references, not just bare URLs. If it's left to someone else to use "ReFill" we end up with horrors like "England, Historic" etc, as in this version of Bentley Heath, Hertfordshire. There's a very useful template {{NHLE}} which makes it simple and quick to generate an elegant and future-proof reference to the listed buildings info. Please use it. Thanks.

And, are you sure it's a village? Source, please - population etc? Coordinates? PamD 17:16, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Found OS source which confirms existence, gives location, calls it a hamlet. Fixed. PamD 17:23, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

List of public dispensaries

Hi Philafrenzy. I wonder where you're going with List of public dispensaries. The definition at the top of the article says, in essence, 'out-patient facilities", of which there must be 10s of thousands across the world. The US examples listed are contemporary hospitals. The UK examples listed are historic dispensaries, long since merged into contemporary hospitals or closed. It's far from clear to me what your aim is. Would you care to clarify? thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 08:27, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it's a list of public dispensaries. I hesitate to say that it has an historic focus as there are undoubtedly many that still operate but there certainly are numerous historic dispensaries that can be added. Such list articles provide an overview and an incoming link and operate in a way that categories don't as I am sure you know. I think the U.S. examples all had origins in public dispensaries but feel free to remove any you feel don't belong. Inevitably there is some overlap here. I will add more later as the articles are created. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:58, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
So you are wanting things that are or were called 'dispensary', but not wanting, for instance, an out-patient department in a UK hospital which was not called a dispensary? And wanting only those with wikipedia articles, or all such things? --Tagishsimon (talk) 09:03, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
It is a matter of judgement in each case and there may be overlap but the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, for instance, define a dispensary as providing "outpatient medical treatment and advice to patients, in contrast to the inpatient service provided by hospitals". So the focus is on organisations that provide primarily outpatient services, not primarily inpatient services. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:08, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
That is where the confusion for me arises. Many hospitals provide both out- and in- patient care; they might, for instance, dedicate more of the area of the hospital to in-patients, but see by volume more out-patients than in-patients. Sorry to keep on about it, but without a robust definition of scope, it's not easy to see what should & what should not be included. --Tagishsimon (talk) 09:12, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
I agree there is overlap so we can keep it to those that seem clear cases. e.g Surrey Dispensary. I don't mind if you remove some that you feel don't fit. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:14, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Can the historical dispensaries in London be a separate category? Whispyhistory (talk) 10:25, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
The term dispensary is in itself archaic in the UK so why not just Dispensaries in London as a sub-category of D's in the UK? You might need to create D's in England as an intermediate category. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:51, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
I like "Dispensaries in London". The Aldersgate one looks interesting, but I'm not too good at doing buildings. I think @Edwardx: might have a look too. St Martins was branch of the Warwick lane one. Thankyou. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:16, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Rose case

Hi, can you help with Rose case. The title is in italics. I don't know how I did that. The final verdict in original sources is 1703. I checked with someone from the Apothecaries and received this reply "You are correct about 1703 rather than 1704 being the date but it is explained by:To unambiguously specify a date, dual dating or Old Style and New Style dates are sometimes used. Dual dating gives two consecutive years for a given date because of differences in the starting date of the year or to give both the Julian and the Gregorian dates. The "Old Style" (O.S.) and "New Style" (N.S.) notations indicate either that the start of the Julian year has (or has not) been adjusted to start on 1 January (even though documents written at the time use a different start of year), or that a date conforms to the (old) Julian calendar rather than the (new) Gregorian.".....interestingly the reply appears to come from wikipedia. My sandbox was messy...hence I did it like I did. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:41, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Congratulations, it's an impressive article. I think the italics are because it is a legal case and you are using that infobox but you are not currently using the full case name of Rose v Royal College of Physicians. You might have to move it. Are you intending to DYK it? Amusing circularity in the Wikipedia sourcing on the dates. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:21, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Easily fixed. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:36, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
What about a move to the case title? (italicised) Are law cases always known by their legal titles? Philafrenzy (talk) 23:40, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Thank you @Philafrenzy: and @Redrose64:.
  • The common name for the case is the "Rose case". Does that matter?
  • It starts with Rose vs RCP but ends with Society of Apothecaries vs RCP.
  • I can dyk it. Maybe you can help here too.
  • I found landmark court case examples. They are all in italics including The Moorcock and Bushel's Case.
I moved it to the proper legal name as most are in that form. It also gives the article a lot more weight IMHO and makes it obvious what it is about. You can still talk about the Rose Case within the article for short. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:04, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Started List of public dispensaries. There are probably 100s missing. Can you do them before lunch please? Philafrenzy (talk) 07:44, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

It's British spelling in that one so change as necessary (unless in a quote). There are other deficiencies too, such as the captions to the images which are poorly formatted. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:26, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
What is the relevance of the disgruntled physician? Is it in any of the sources with commentary? That Apothecaries Hall is not 1805 and has a notable artist. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:09, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
sorry, removed. You did a good job with images. Thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 11:22, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Happy new year.

Happy new year. As far as I know, Hirschfield and the house only counts as one review as it is one nomination even though it covers two articles. I have seen them with five or more linked new articles in the same hook but it would be a brave reviewer who took on one like that. I will look at Singh in more detail later. You might be right about that Nicholl merchant but my book says the house was built for him after our article says he died. Needs more research. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:21, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

HI...P.Hugh-Jones is notable....coined type 1, 2 and J diabetes. J is for Jamaica. His article on it 1955 is way ahead of its time. Can you create it?
