That is true, but Panikar is closer to the original Malayalam than Panicker, especially the "ck" which is not the standard translation for "ka" or even "kka".

Heathfield Hospital
I dispute that Heathfield was the main hospital for the area until the construction of the present Ayr Hospital. In Ayr you had Seafield (childrens hospital), Heathfield, and Ayr County. Ayr County sat near the railway station and had a working A&E unit until it was closed. I'm not totally sure of what function Heathfield served, perhaps it had a lot of day clinics in the same way that Irvine Central did. Douglasnicol 18:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- I just remember that years back, my mum was in a car accident and she was taken to Ayr County and that would have been about 1981. The seperate villas of Heathfield seems to suggest a fever hospital originally, Irvine Central was like that, with a lot of seperate lodge type buildings. I think that although Irvine has scaled down, many of the small buildings are still there. I'll confess to not knowing very much about Ballochmyle. Incidentally, there were plans to close the A&E at Ayr hospital and make Crosshouse the sole one for the area and build 'cottage hospitals'. This seems for now to have been stopped.

Undeleted Rorschach sample pic
Actually, in graduate school and post graduate school, psychologists are taught that it is ethically wrong to publish psychological tests. It is not a question of copyright. It invalidates the test. That is the problem. But, of course, I do not expect wikipedia to respect this sort of thing. But it is unethical for a psychologist to publish a Rorschack card. And that is an actual card, one out of ten. So 10% of the test is invalid for all who see that card. Is it worth it, do you think? I know wikipedia is not concerned with ethics, but.....? --Mattisse 01:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it matters very much, but all ten Rorschach cards are already available on-line on a Spanish website linked to the Wikipedia Rorschach article. I have seen them on the web before, many times. Clinical secrets like these have brief lives. NRPanikker 01:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- No, I don't expect you to understand. It has to do with the ethically standards of a professional, licensed psychologist. Perhaps you belong to a profession that has ethical standards, that although violating them is not against the law, you as a professional could not ethically condone. It is an ethical question for psychologists so it will make any psychologist queasy to see that done. I know what you are saying is true. It is easily available in unauthorized places, so is pornography and I guess wikipedia has no standards about that either. People differ. --Mattisse 01:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Hopping/OsteopathicFreak
In the name of full disclosure, I added links to the official name change / ursurpation process to my userpage. I hope this further relieves any concern about this name change. Cheers! User:Hopping T 22:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Osteopathic medicine/osteopathy in the U.K
I moved your new content to the osteopathy article. I gave an explanation here. User:Hopping T 03:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I responded to your latest concern on Talk:Osteopathic medicine (U.S.). I wondering what solution you would find satisfactory. User:Hopping T 01:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
The is the hatnote from the top of the Osteopathic medicine (U.S.) article.
- This article is about a branch of the medical profession in the United States. For the form of complementary medicine practiced worldwide, see Osteopathy.
I would think this would address the concerns you are making. Do you feel this statement is misleading or inadequate? User:Hopping T 02:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not keen to have separate U.S.- specific articles about everything, but where the U.S. does things so very differently I agree that it makes sense to split the topic that way. NRPanikker (talk) 10:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Panicker
That is true, but Panikar is closer to the original Malayalam than Panicker, especially the "ck" which is not the standard translation for "ka" or even "kka". The "er" is also incorrect since it is supposed to be "ar". The only problem is with the hard "n" sound, which can be shown as a either a double "nn" or the "n subscript dot" (as in Pāṇini)Hijjins (talk) 07:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
