New Page for Michael Huppe (Deleted in 2023)[edit]
Hello @Doc James! Hope you are doing well.
I am reaching out to inquire about posting a new Wikipedia page for 'Michael Huppe' as I saw you listed as one of the Users who performed the action of deleting this page (or maybe nominating it for deletion?) back in 2017. I also reached out to the User @Explicit who deleted the page in 2023 but have not heard back yet and want to make sure all of my bases are covered before creating the new page. [Here is the page for reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Huppe]
I don't have insight into the 2017 actions taken but can see that in 2023 the page was removed for not meeting notability guidelines for biographies. The new page that I am looking to create corrects these issues. It is a fresh draft with unique copy and contains a significant number of new sources and added context that affirm the individual's notability.
As my bio states, I am a digital marketing professional whose work sometimes includes helping clients with suggested edits to their Wikipedia pages - in this case, for Michael Huppe on behalf of SoundExchange, the non-profit collective rights management organization that employs him as CEO. I am committed to following Wikipedia's policies and guidelines in the creation of a page that is based only on reliable, error-free and bias-free sources.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts, questions or suggestions regarding the creation of a new 'Michael Huppe' page. I value your input here and any guidance would be much appreciated.

From Tamil Wikipedia[edit]
Hello James! You left a message in my talk page in Tamil wikipedia months ago (Aug 23). I'm relly sorry for this delayed reply. The reason is, I do not visit wiki regularly these days, and somehow I missed to see that message on my occasional visit.
I became very busy due to some personal issues and thus it's not easy to work on the project now. But I can join in a later time. Have any other tamil wikipedians joined the project? Kalaiarasy (talk) 05:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Nope no Tamil translators yet.[1] If you could try out the tool would appreciate it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks James. I'll check when I get time. Right now, I have some personal issues that don't allow me to spend time here. Will contact you at a later period. Kalaiarasy (talk) 08:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Contrast media as drugs[edit]
Hi Doc James. Haven't bothered you in quite a while. I was looking at medication and did a double-take as I read that medication is "is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease". The page has a section on diagnostics, with only two words, "Contrast media", which clicks through to contrast agent. In my understanding contrast media are inert, therefore cannot be considered drugs, as – other then aiding visualisation of the target area/ organ – they have no effect in body processes. Your two Canadian cents? Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 15:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- The WHO uses the term medicines rather than medications, maybe because the former is broader. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:19, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
