Moved your article

Hey Cdbahls, congrats on your first article! You seem to have picked up the ropes already. This is just a quick message to let you know that I've moved it from CFTR Inhibitory Factor to CFTR inhibitory factor as a minor formatting tweak for the title. Hope you enjoy Wikipedia and that you stick around. Best wishes, Brammers (talk/c) 16:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Great, thanks for your help!! Cdbahls (talk) 20:34, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. It's a real pleasure seeing something come out of the starting gate so well-formed. If you're interested, and can come up with an attention-grabbing factoid from the article, it's currently eligible to be submitted to WP:DYK as a "Did you know..." piece for the main page. The process isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning to you in case it tickled your fancy. Brammers (talk/c) 19:18, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

That would be great! I'm not sure how, so if you wouldn't mind helping me out, I would love to submit my article to WP:DYK. Thank you again for your help while I'm getting started!! Cdbahls (talk) 15:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Righto, all you need to do is come up with something snappy and interesting about Cif (the hook). It needs to be shorter than two hundred characters, and the fact should be mentioned and given a source in the body of the article (this is the most important bit). I'd write one myself but I've got to admit that the biology is well beyond my comfort zone. Maybe incorporate something from the CFTR article about how Cif makes people with cystic fibrosis more prone to P. agrimonas infection (if I've read it right).

Then all you need to do is to copy and paste this template {{subst:NewDYKnom | article= CFTR inhibitory factor | hook=... that [insert your hook here]? | status=new | author=Cdbahls }} into this section, fill in your hook where I've put "[insert hook here]" and save the page. Since it's your first DYK, you don't need to review any other submissions - it might be worth mentioning that when you add your submission. It's best to do it today: strictly speaking the criteria are either moved into the mainspace in the past five days (21st June), or expanded 5x in the past five days (since 22nd June), but give it a shot even if you only get this after the weekend because people might be lenient and they don't get many biochemistry submissions. If the nomination is accepted then it would probably get its six hours of fame in a couple of weeks' time. Brammers (talk/c) 09:28, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Alrighty, I've submitted it- hopefully people are lenient with the deadline since I'm new. Thank you again for being so welcoming and helpful while I'm starting out!! Cdbahls (talk) 17:10, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Looking good on the main page! I'm glad I could be of help while you were starting out. As Robert said below, just drop me a line if you ever need a hand. See you around, Brammers (talk/c) 22:00, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Another issue or so has arisen :) Rcej (Robert) – talk 04:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You mentioned on the DYK page that I need to ref every paragraph in the article. I think I've got pretty much everything referenced, but I'm happy to add some more if you think it needs it. Which sections would you like me to focus on specifically? Thank you again for helping me! Cdbahls (talk) 21:48, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You're very welcome! Looks like were all set... I had the Citation bot go in and tidy up any little ref nitpicks. Good to go :) Glad to have worked with you, and if you ever need help, feel free to give me a yell! Rcej (Robert) – talk 02:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
