FYI

Good to see you at the NYC wikiconference, I hope we meet at another one. FYI: there's a DNA nanotech article on Reuters.com today: http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE57F1K720090816. (Watching) - Dank (push to talk) 19:49, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Nucleic acid design

Hello! Your submission of Nucleic acid design at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Materialscientist (talk) 04:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Nucleic acid design

On April 21, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nucleic acid design, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 19:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Molec electronics

Thanks a lot for the note about a possible project on molecular electronics. We'll need a substantial crew, so let's see if there is more interest. If we do get enough editors, we can discuss some goals. For example, are organic electronics, molecular electronics, organic semiconductor, and conductive polymer the right topics or is there redundancy or missing pieces? You might be well suited to ponder these. We also need some general reference sources. The areas are so mature that many books exist that could be the foundational sources for referencing per WP:secondary. My own inclination would be to de-emphasize individual people and institutions, except in extraordinary cases (Nobel prizes), otherwise we get back into the "so-and-so is my favorite researcher" cycle that got us into the current predicament. Anyway, most of the article will focus on general non-researchy themes, as usual. Thanks again and I hope that we can do this.--Smokefoot (talk) 12:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome! As I mentioned, my main concern is that the term "molecular electronics" is used to refer to both single-molecule nanoelectronics and bulk organic conductors, when the two don't really have much to do with each other. There does seem to be a lot of overlap between Organic electronics, Organic semiconductor, and Conductive polymer, whereas Molecular electronics is mostly (except for the first section) about the single-molecule field.

My recommendation would be to move Molecular electronics to Single-molecule electronics, shuffle the three organic electronics articles to minimize redundancyand, and then then recreate Molecular electronics as a page containing summaries of Single-molecule electronics and Organic electronics. Antony-22 (talk) 05:25, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, there is already a decent but nearly-orphaned article already at Single molecule electronics. I think the preferred term is actually Molecular scale electronics per Tour et al.  and other sources. This is probably a more accurate term since it includes things like monolayers and the like.

Wikipedia:Trading card game

We're wrapping up the democratic rules approval process. Please see Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 1:Rules/Rules approval‎ and review the ruleset. If no changes are made to it within 7 days, then we will proceed next week with the card nomination and approval process.

If you are no longer interested in helping out with the project, please remove your name from the participants list.

Thanks! Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:57, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for helping!

Hi, at Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 2:Cards/Individual card proposals#Cards for approval, we've decided each of the most significant contributors to the project are entitled to choose one nonfeatured article to be included in the game. (All other articles in the game will be articles that have been featured). You name happens to be one of those we considered a significant contributor, so please feel free to propose a non-featured article! See you there!

didn't mean to fall off...

Hi Antony-22! OMG! great work! haha, how do you do it?! (be a grad student and all of this?!) I'm really swamped, but give me a week. I'll definitely dive in over winter break. But just wanted to let you know that I caught/just saw all you've done! Thanks! MichChemGSI (talk) 05:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm gonna have some explaining to do to my advisor now that I'm back from Thanksgiving break... :-) But seriously, most of what I've done is moving and reorganizing text among different articles and creating an overall framework so that the articles can grow in an organized fashion. With the exception of the "Agencies" section in Science policy of the United States, I haven't actually added any new content yet. That being said, we're going to need to find some good references soon so that we can actually start adding content to all those empty sections!

Spring 2011 Campus Ambassadors

Hi Antony, thanks for your interest in the program. Put as simply as possible, the role of the campus ambassador is to assist students and faculty as they use Wikipedia as a learning tool. In most classes in this program students are asked to make significant contributions to a Wikipedia article of their choice. Among other things, you'll be helping them learn the markup language, best practices for interacting with the community, the elements of a good article, etc. If you'd like more detailed information feel free to reply. I'll add your talk page to my watch list so I'll see your change. Thanks!– Pjthepiano (talk) 05:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Cool. I'd like to know more about the time committment involved. Is it a similar amount of work to being a teaching assistant for a class, or is it more like coming to a few of the lectures and holding office hours as necessary? Antony–22 (^talk/_contribs) 02:55, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
