Quick note

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions importing TCDB content. I see you've been getting lots of automated copyright notices, so I left a note for the operator of the bot doing the tagging to see about putting the website on the whitelist.

A couple of comments about the new articles that might help you:

  1. You usually create them in title case, with capital letters in the titles, whereas we usually use sentence case for article titles - this kind of minor stylistic variation sometimes stands out to people who are patrolling newly created articles looking for problems.
  2. Most of the new articles have incoming wikilinks only from other articles you've created. They'll be more useful and get more traffic if you introduce links from relevant existing pages. (This is how these articles came to my attention - I had flippase on my watchlist.)

If you have any questions about articles related to proteins and protein families, Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology is a good place to start. Opabinia regalis (talk) 22:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

--Thank you for that advice, Opabinia regalis. I will incorporate your suggestions into future articles.

Minor question

[edit]

Wow, you've written a lot of good articles! I have one thing I was wondering about: with Disulfide Oxidoreductase D, might it be better capitalised as "Disulfide oxidoreductase D" on the article title (WP:MOS prefers sentence case) or is there a need to have a capital on 'Oxidoreductase'? The cited links don't bother with a capital. Blythwood (talk) 20:44, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

-- Hi Blythwood, I think you make a good point. I don't believe it needs to be capitalized as it is, but have done so on the basis of it's title status. I will check in with my professor to get another opinion. Thank you for your suggestion. Grahm Gessner (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Less than four months on here and you're making an incredible difference to the molecular biology coverage! Really impressed by your work. Blythwood (talk) 23:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Holin superfamily V, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chloroflexi. 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.

Caps and cats

[edit]

Hey, your recent contributions about membrane proteins are great, congratulations. Just wanted to let you know that since proteins are common nouns they are not fully capitalized. Also categories on articles should be stricly related to the subject and not redundant, so placing protein articles under the category Biology makes this category useless.

Nomination of Voltage-gated ion channel (VIC) family for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Voltage-gated ion channel (VIC) family is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Voltage-gated ion channel (VIC) family until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. --Tryptofish (talk) 01:12, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion

[edit]

I looked at this and not sure what's the problem, because according to website [1] tells: The text of this website is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License. I would think this is fine for reusing the texts. This probably needs to be discussed with user Dianaa who left these messages on your page. Now, speaking about your "conflict of interest", this is actually your strength (I assume you work with creators of the database?). For example, if Dianaa tells that copyright of the original TCDB site should be changed to be acceptable on wikipedia, your collaborators might do just that. Or they can send an email to Wikimedia telling that they allow free reuse of the content, etc. My very best wishes (talk) 02:04, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is something for your attention [2]. If you can establish relations between the corresponding PFAM and TCDB families (which is not a problem), you can use these PFAM texts and protein boxes for your pages. Also check because your page may already exist. My very best wishes (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But I can see that you already know it. My very best wishes (talk) 02:22, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good work! I will check these pages later; no time right now. My very best wishes (talk) 05:32, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

Could you fix this page, please? Seriously, this page has no text, no any explanations, no referencing to secondary RS by third parties, etc. No wonder, some people claim the resource is garbage. Fix it. I made a few changes, but do not have time. Thanks, My very best wishes (talk) 18:58, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm limited on time myself, but will make an effort to expand this page. User:Transporter Guy (Chat) 01:48, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I made some arguments and suggestions on several talk pages, but do not have time to improve anything myself. Good luck! My very best wishes (talk) 13:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As a practical matter, you probably should not create any new pages of the same kind during standing copyright investigation. After looking at this, I think everything was fixed in the currently existing pages, and the investigation is not needed, however, as a matter of fact, there were copyright violations and more than once. My very best wishes (talk) 13:23, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:3J9P bio r 500.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:3J9P bio r 500.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
