PMAPMA (p-methoxyamphetamine) is a dangerous synthetic drug, psychostimulant and hallucinogen. It is made from anethole, the flavor compound of anise and fennel. It is classified as a Schedule I narcotic under the Controlled Substances Act in the United States. Internationally, PMA is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances[http://www.incb.org/pdf/e/list/green.pdf]. PMA in form of pills is sometimes passed off as MDMA (ecstasy (drug)) and can cause death, because it is more active and more toxic. Effects of PMA ingestion include accelerated and irregular heartbeat, blurred vision, and a strong, unpleasant feeling of intoxication. There are approxomately twice as many PMA deaths than MDMA deaths, while the actual ocurrance of PMA on the market is only a fraction of that of MDMA. ==External link == * [http://www.dea.gov/pubs/intel/20025intellbrief.pdf The Hallucinogen PMA: Dancing With Death] (PDF) from the DEA == Other meanings == PMA is also: * Pacific Maritime Association * Photo Marketing Association International[http://www.pmai.org/] * positive mental attitude; * ''poste médical avancé'', a french field hospital. * pre-motor area of the motor cortex Psychedelic phenethylamines Amphetamines PMAPMA also means Program Memory Area, which contains a temporary Table of Contents describing the place where data are writen on the CD-R/CD-RW and when the session is not yet closed. CDR/RW areas: PCA - PMA - Lead-in - Program Area - Lead-out PMAUser talk:PMelvilleAustin/Archive ==Kellie Waymire== Please don't revert this again. The style is correct (not only for Wikipedia, but in any publication). See Wikipedia:Manual of style for setails of dashes, for example). User:Mel Etitis (Μελ_Ετητης)">User talk:Mel Etitis 08:26, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC) Well, first, you keep reverting my n-rule to a hyphen; that's specifically ruled out in the MoS, which was my main point when referring to it. Secondly, with regard to the full style, I accept that, if known, the fulldates should be in the article, but putting them in the summary makes it (to my eyes at least) cumbersome. Giben that it is a summary, shouldn't it briefly summarise the greater detail in the article? I'm starting a discussion on this at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers); please join in if you feel strongly about it. User:Mel Etitis (Μελ_Ετητης)">User talk:Mel Etitis 08:38, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC) No worries. Do you have any thoughts on the style that I'm suggesting should be made standard? == Mystery admin == I was a bit confused to see a protected page (Germany) being editted by someone not on Wikipedia:List of administrators, and with a blank user page... I've updated the former, might be a good idea to create at least a minimal user page (say, mentioning that you are indeed an admin, and your former user name). User:Alai 01:25, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Samantha Smith again == I think, that user, who created the article, used not books,but internet resources. These references were added by myself, when I edited the article for the first (as I remember) time. I added info about Artek from her book and info about her birthplace and moving to Manchester from Galicich book. I don't have these books. I only *found a chapter about Artek from her book, translated into Russian. *found excerpts from Galicich book [http://www.expage.com/reportonsamanthasmith] The problem is that I'm not a perfect translator. Although there is a lot of info in the latter link in English, it will be hard for me to make a short summary of it. But I'll try to include some info from there, especially about her early years. User:Cmapm 14:42, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) All right. Also, may be "thieves who steal non-ferrous metals" in English should be expressed in a different way, than I did :"non-ferrous metals' thieves"? User:Cmapm 14:11, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Berlin pronunciation == Where is the debate in which it was decided that "pro-nun-see-AY-shuns" are acceptable alongside IPA transcription? As far as I know, Wikipedia policy is to use IPA only; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (pronunciation) --User:Angr/User_talk:Angr 05:35, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) Sorry, you lost that debate. The majority of votes were to keep IPA only, without the useless and childish "pro-nun-see-AY-shuns". --User:Angr/User_talk:Angr 05:49, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) Childish because it's a form of dumbing-down. It assumes the reader isn't capable of reading IPA (which anyone of average intelligence can learn to do in less than an hour). It also smacks of children's encyclopedias like "World Book". --User:Angr/User_talk:Angr 08:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) I hope you don't think that /"ty: S'Vx/ is IPA - it would appear to be SAMPA. By the way I've updated the taoiseach article to add the IPA pronunciation — with a link to the IPA chart for English so that anyone not familiar with IPA can look up the various characters. User:Ross Burgess 09:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) :Yes, it's SAMPA. It's also incorrect, since the sound /y:/ doesn't occur in Irish. As for World Book, ::''Though not called a "children's" encyclopedia, it is marketed as a family encyclopedia, and it recognizes the fact that one of the primary uses of general-purpose encyclopedias is for children working on school reports.'' :I used World Book between the ages of about 6 and 11; after that the information it provided wasn't useful to me for school reports and I switched to Britannica. I have no doubt that both Dr Duffy and Dr Carr could learn to read IPA in less than an hour if they cared to. --User:Angr/User_talk:Angr 10:19, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) One of the problems with the "pro-nun-see-AY-shuns" style of pronunciation guide is that even for English speakers sometimes it's helpful and sometimes it's extremely unhelpful. I think if I didn't know how to pronounce ''Berlin'', seeing it transcribed as "buhr LIHN" would not have helped me (since "uhr" and "IH" bear no resemblance to any English orthographic conventions) and would probably have led me to pronounce it completely wrongly. User:Ross Burgess 14:26, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Farewell== Unfortunately, must to go out from Wiki, forever. The reason is in myself. Will try to switch to previuos hobbies. My respect and best wishes for you. User:Cmapm 23:17, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Germany== PMA - actually, it was User:Marriex who posted the full GDR name in the lead section, not me. I didn't feel like removing his/her edits, because he/she appears to be new here. But feel free to correct. You may have to explain your point to Marriex, though.-User:Heimdal 14:30, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) User:Luis rib is trying to revert all my edits on the Germany page. First he removed the image of Pope Benedict XVI (who knows why) in the "Religion" section; then the image of Hamburg in "Demographics"; now he wants to revert all my edits in the "History" section too. I intend to fight it out, PMA. You can revert the whole page back to Luis rib's version and protect it indefinitely, I don't care. -User:Heimdal 10:44, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) Actually, it was not me who started the edit war on the Germany page. On the grounds that the Germany article was "biased", User:Gidonb made multiple deletions, removed images, made non-sensical changes to the structure of the article (the Military a sub-section of Politics, Religion a sub-sub-section of Culture, etc.) and added his own POV to the article. I just reverted back to the previous version, which no good-willing person can say was biased. I also contacted User:Doric Loon to ask his opinion, and he couldn't find any bias in the previous version either (see User talk:Doric Loon). This time I intend to fight it out, PMA, because your protection of the page is deeply unfair. Of course I'll revert back to the previous version in case that the article is unprotected again. Also, I have the impression that you are constantly taking me for someone else. Please note, once and for all, that the user that posts under the number which starts with "83.109. ...." is not me! - User:Heimdal 11:12, 9 May 2005 (UTC) ==The Master's picture== While it's fine to change to want to the picture, please don't overwrite a picture that someone has already uploaded with the same name. I think that unless you're the person who uploaded it in the first place, that's not really polite. Use another name. You've done it in the case of Patrick Troughton in the Season 6B entry as well. :It's all right - using a different name also makes it easier to switch between the two rather than having to revert the images. Better is a matter of perspective, anyway. I kind of preferred the earlier Delgado picture as it looked more sinister, but that's just me. --User:Khaosworks 15:29, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==West Germany== I saw what happened to the West Germany page. Especially liked the "Middle Germany" thing, which actually is used in German for the Middle part of Germany, and not for East Germany at all (which is still nowadays referred to as der Osten - the East). User:Luis rib 22:37, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC) Hi. I happened to read the West Germany page this morning. The "history" (archive) page was particularly interesting. Sincerely, I was quite confused when I found myself being accused by you, PMA, of having an "FRG/GDR fetish" (whatever that is). Please note that I've NEVER edited the "West Germany" article. MfG, User:Heimdal 13:20, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) == iraq election world protests == The website that contained info of the protest may have been socialist but the protests weren't necessarily. But more importantly adding "left-wing" to the sentence seemed like an attempt at damaging the credibility of the protests without a citation (original research). If other sources are specifically claiming the protests are invalid merely because they were "left-wing" protests then add a sentence after that, don't add POV phrases in factual sentences. And remember that sentence is balancing out the "official" version of the Iraq election, you are caveating it too much. Also, there are many non-liberals than have protested the Iraq election, also saying they would mean something if the U.S. wasn't there orchestrating the process. Scott Ritter is hardly "left-wing". User:Zen-master User talk:Zen-master 04:21, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Yalta== It's on my list, but I'm not very keen on going another ten rounds with the Wikipedia Polish Nationalist Party. (Has anyone ever investigated what happens at the Polish Wikipedia? I suspect it must be very bad.) User:Adam Carr 09:13, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==FRD== Paul, this may interest you [http://www.doctorzebra.com/prez/t32.htm]. It suggests FDR's doctors were well aware of his hypertension and heart condition, and that his diet was not to blame. But they didn't even try to stop him smoking! Times change. I will write some more when I get time. Cheers User:Adam Carr 23:25, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) Paul, there is now a consensus among the people editing FDR that he should be moved to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Could you do this? User:Adam Carr 07:57, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) Thanks Paul. User:Adam Carr 08:08, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Your administratorship== Hi. I'd like to inform you that I intend to start a complaint against you because of what you did on the West Germany page, where - among your other insults - you accused me of having an "FRG/GDR fetish", and you even protected the article against my alleged edits, despite the fact that I've never put one single edit onto that page. I know that you have apologised. Nevertheless, I think that you clearly deserve to be given a lesson. Actually, you were so filled up with your personal bias against me that you didn't even care to check the IP address of the person you pretended to be me. The facts are there for everyone to see. - User:Heimdal 10:47, 10 May 2005 (UTC) ==Cyprus== Paul, I think until there is a workable and enforceable process for resolving content disputes, I am not going to get involved in any more of them. I have already taken History of Poland and History of Bulgaria off my watchlist because I am sick of petty national-chauvinist edit wars. So I think I will decline the invitation of getting embroiled in Cypriot politics. Cheers. User:Adam Carr 08:44, 16 May 2005 (UTC) == Yalta == Feel free to join the discussion if you have anything to say. And Usenent is a known and reliable source of verified, academic information, of course *smirk*. --User:Piotrus User_talk:Piotrus 09:04, 18 May 2005 (UTC) ==Khmer Rouge== This article will need protectionagain since Ruy Lopez has returned to editing it. User:Adam Carr 01:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) This article needs protection against people like Adam Carr who think Norodom Sihanouk has been living in Beijing for the past few decades (I guess in Adam Carr's mind his reign as king of Cambodia from 1993-2004 was done remotely as well), and who think the Royal Government of National Union of Kampuchea, the National United Front of Kampuchea and the Cambodian People's National Liberation Armed Forces should all be called the "Khmer Rouge", because why shouldn't the name of a political party replace the name of a government (run by someone not in that party), an army (which includes people not in that party) and also a coalition of political parties of which it is one of (henceforth, I'm replacing all references to the Socialist International on Wikipedia with the Mozambican Liberation Front). -- User:Ruy Lopez 06:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) PMAWikipedia:Wikistress_level">Image:Wikistress3D 3 v3.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Current Wikipedia:Wikistress level Formerly User:PMelvilleAustin Pma#REDIRECT PMA See other meanings of words starting from letter: PPA | PB | PC | PD | PE | PF | PG | PH | PI | PJ | PK | PL | PM | PN | PO | PR | PS | PT | PU | PW | PX | PY | PZ |Words begining with PMA: PMA PMA PMA PMA Pma PMAC Pmacock Pmaddamsetti Pmaddamsetti Pmadrid Pmadrid Pmadrid/Test1 Pmagl Pmagsa Pmaguire Pmaguire Pmam21 Pmam21 Pmam21/articles Pmam21/Movies Pmam21/signature Pmanderson Pmanderson/Sandbox Pmanderson/sandbox1 Pmanderson\DPT Pmanoj Pmarkham |
