WikiProjects

Well done for your edits on coagulation. Please add references as needed - the article could still do with more sources. I have changed the spelling of VKORC as we generally only use uppercase for proper names (see WP:MOS).

Depending on your background, you might want to join WP:MCB (molecular and cellular biology) or WP:MED (medicine), two of our active WikiProjects where interested editors collaborate on series of articles. No qualifications necessary. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. JFW | T@lk 06:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits on GR, I'm a trypanothione person myself, but it's good to see a fellow thiol enthusiast on Wikipedia! All the best Tim Vickers (talk) 16:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Parasympathetic nervous system (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding vandalism, or link spam to the page or having an inappropriate edit summary. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the sandbox. If you made an edit that removed a large amount of content, try doing smaller edits instead. Thanks! (Report bot mistakes here) // VoABot II (talk) 03:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Visceral Parasympathetic Mediated Response to Automated Message

I don't understand this automated message completely. I spent hours writing this page and worked hard to edit and re-edit it and by no means included anything inappropriate. I did remove a few sentences that were present in the article but at the same time I expanded a great deal upon the existing work. I found this article in a Medical gtoup's list of articles that needed attention, doesn't this mean that they want you to edit and reform the article? Furthermore, I admit to using the "preview" button to check my work but I always find something new to edit after submitting my article. Ok fine, I had to change it twice.

Can someone explain if it was the repeated editing that triggered this message or if it was the fact that I removed a few existing sentences? Thank you for helping me understand and comply with wikirules. Orlandoturner (talk) 10:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll look into this. Something to realise is that all the previous versions of a page are preserved in the "history" tab, so even if a bot reverts something, it is not deleted. Deletion is only done by administrators for things like copyright violations and nonsense pages. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I can't see any obvious reason for this and what you did was absolutely OK, it might simply have been that such a large chunk of text being added at one time is unusual! Something that would help is to leave an edit summary describing in a few words what you did in an edit. It is a great help to other editors and also helps you keep track of what you've been doing. If it happens again leave a note with me and I'll talk to the bot operator. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Genetic heterogeneity

A tag has been placed on Genetic heterogeneity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Woland (talk) 21:01, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Allelic and genetic heterogeneity

Hey dude, I would actually recomend that instead of creating articles for these two things add information to the Mutation article. Then when you find more resources and whatnot, begin separate articles for this stuff. Thats just my advice, otherwise they could easily be deleted at this point. --Woland (talk) 21:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Trouble moving a page? help?

Hey, In cases like that its best to just do a redirect which will take a person to the better page once you set it up. Anyway, its done. Good luck with med school, I have to take the bloody GRE's in a month, so I know the feeling. Ciao. --Woland (talk) 16:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Sources

When citing books or journals, please make sure you use the {{cite book}} or {{cite journal}} templates and populate them as much as possible. JFW | T@lk 09:51, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Minimum alveolar concentration

Thanks for your efforts in expanding Minimum alveolar concentration. Could I remind you to make a brief edit summary when you edit, please? It's a reminder to yourself and a courtesy to other editors. Also, could you add the sources you use, especially when adding new sections to an article. If you find the wikipedia citation style difficult, just drop me a line on my talk page, and I'll help format the references. Or even simply make a note of the sources you used on the article talk page - there are lots of friendly editors who will help you to put them into the article. Happy editing! --RexxS (talk) 00:24, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
