Hello -- I've left a couple of messages on the talk page for this article, but you haven't been very responsive ... I don't want for our edits to conflict ... BTW, I have removed the {{Notability}} tag, 'cause it's Lookin' Good! ... a lot better than the version I tagged on Newpages Patrol the day you created it ... Happy Editing! —68.239.79.82 22:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello again ... while researching the use of a title for the introduction of another article, I came across Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Academic titles, which states:

Academic and professional titles (such as "Doctor" or "Professor") should not be used before the name in the initial sentence or in other uses of the person's name.

Consequently, I have removed Maestro from Sankofa's name in that article ... sorry about that, but at least now we have the definitive answer that we didn't a few weeks ago. :-) —72.75.70.147 (talk · contribs) 22:08, 9 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

spectrofluorometer edits

Hi cool of you to help out with the post. I am not sure how to do too much on here I am learning but it is slow due to work and other distractions. If you need any information or help with diagrams etc. Let me know. I do not know how to post photos etc... I probably could figure it out if I had some time.

File source problem with File:Spectrophotomer.JPG

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Spectrophotomer.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:06, 12 September 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 13:06, 12 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hemoglobin constant spring

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hemoglobin constant spring, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=2604421.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Hemoglobin constant spring, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

Resolution

edit

I'm sorry, but as no rewrite was proposed, we are not able to keep the article.

First, I'm afraid that Pubmed content is not public domain; see [1]: "All of the material available from the PMC site is provided by the respective publishers or authors. Almost all of it is protected by U.S. and/or foreign copyright laws, even though PMC provides free access to it." and "Articles and other material in PMC usually include an explicit copyright statement. In the absence of a copyright statement, users should assume that standard copyright protection applies, unless the article contains an explicit statement to the contrary." You mention that you believe that some of the content came from WHO. WHO publications are copyrighted as well; see [2]: "Extracts of the information in the web site may be reviewed, reproduced or translated for research or private study but not for sale or for use in conjunction with commercial purposes.... Reproduction or translation of substantial portions of the web site, or any use other than for educational or other non-commercial purposes, require explicit, prior authorization in writing." Compatible licenses must explicitly allow commercial reuse; see WP:COMPLIC.

I could just remove the remnants of this source, but unfortunately I find that this isn't the only source you've copied from. For instance, you later added to the article "The occurrence of Hb CS is usually limited to the geographic area which includes Southern China and South East Asia...."Your source says, "The occurrence of Hb CS is usually limited to the geographic area which includes Southern China and South East Asia." You wrote, "Heterozygosity for this mutation is usually associated with mild anemia, microcytosis and thalassemic red cell morphology." The same source says that precisely. You wrote, "First, the messenger RNA for hemoglobin Constant Spring is unstable, which leads to some being degraded prior to protein synthesis. Second, the Constant Spring alpha chain protein is itself unstable. The result is a thalassemic phenotype." Your source says, "First, the messenger RNA for hemoglobin Constant Spring is unstable. Some is degraded prior to protein synthesis. Second, the Constant Spring alpha chain protein is itself unstable. The result is a thalassemic phenotype." You wrote, "This derangement of volume regulation and cell hydration occurs early in erythroid maturation and is fully expressed at the reticulocyte stage." Your source says, "the derangement of volume regulation and cell hydration occurs early in erythroid maturation and is fully expressed at the reticulocyte stage."

We cannot create articles in this way. While you are free to get information from sources (in fact, required to by verifiability policy), you have to put the information into your own words. In the case of an article like this, actually, putting it in your own words would help bring it in line with Wikipedia's audience. Medical journals are naturally engineered for a more educated audience. Text like "This derangement of volume regulation and cell hydration occurs early in erythroid maturation and is fully expressed at the reticulocyte stage" would make perfect sense, I'm sure, to the readers of Blood, the first audience, but may not be that accessible to a general audience. If you can take the information from your sources and try to explain it so that a lay audience can follow along, you will probably have already done a substantial amount of the work to rewriting from scratch.

Speaking of that, I know you say that you copied the contents of [3] as a base to work on. This is not good practice for several reasons. First, if you'll review Wikipedia:Copy-paste, you'll see that we are not able to accept content that violates our copyright policies even temporarily. Second, when you build off of a copyrighted source in this way, you run the substantial risk of creating a derivative work. Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing offers an alternative model of composition that can help avoid this.

If you would like to work on this article further, please let me know at my talk page. It does seem like an important subject to be covered here, and it would be great if we could have an article on the topic for our readers. I'd be happy to email it to you for further development, if you will rewrite it so that it does not contain content copied from or closely paraphrasing your sources. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:02, 1 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

File:Coach sankofa.jpg missing description details

edit
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

File permission problem with File:Coach sankofa.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Coach sankofa.jpg, which you've attributed to http://fencersclub.com/~fencer5/index.php?page=coaches&coach=ma. 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 created 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:52, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
