Hi! I saw your message. First of all, please accept my apology. I'm really sorry that I took your edit as vandalism. Kitasato's birth year is 1853. See these pages, [1] [2] [3] [4] They all say it's 1853. (Even if you don't read Japanese, you can find the date) I didn't see the category when I reverted your edit. But it's obvious that the category is a mistake, you see. Now I'm going to fix it. Again so sorry my mistake. Best regards. Oda Mari (talk) 05:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Flags

edit

Hi Plindenbaum. You eddited a lot of biographies lately and in some you added the flag. There was a consensus sometime ago, that a flag should only be used if it is necesarry like for military personel. We had some stupid nationalist extremist starting editwars about scientists like Copernicus or Prelog and the flag was sometimes a condensation point for stupid people. If it is OK for you, it would be good to leave the flag out of the biograpy table if possible?--Stone (talk) 18:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

No problem! It would be no problem with 99% of all biographies, but the 1% kills all th fun! Thanks for your work! Nice to have everything updated!--Stone (talk) 05:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

URLs to PubMed

edit

On James Herrick (and probably elsewhere) you linked to abstracts on Pubmed by placing the URL in the citation. This is usually unnecessary. Simply replacing {{citation}} with {{cite journal}}, and using the "pmid=" parameter in the latter template, will automatically generate a link to Pubmed. Even quicker, David Iberri's template filler will automatically generate a {{cite journal}} template on entering the PMID! JFW | T@lk 16:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Please do not add this images to articles that are not living people. There has been consensus that for non-WP:BLPs, this image really adds nothing and is an eyesore at best. By all means continue to do what you are doing otherwise. Thanks, Wizardman 02:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

But using this image could used to get an anwser to the following question "What are the articles about scientists who are missing a picture ?". Isn't it ?--Plindenbaum (talk) 10:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
I'm not actually sure what you meant by that reply.. the way Isee it, it asks "do you own a pic of this person", which clearly no one is reasonably going to have a pic lying around that they took. Wizardman 03:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Robert Metzenberg (geneticist) bio

edit

Hi Plindenbaum. I haven't been active on Wikipedia for many months. Today (July 15th, 2008) is the first anniversary of my father's passing (Robert Metzenberg). I happened to search for his memorial page, written by some of his scientific colleagues, and I came upon the wikipedia page you started a few weeks ago. I was very touched that you had started a biography page. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to be involved in writing, but I am happy to answer questions about him and his research, although my brother would a better source. Obviously, I am just too close to the subject. If you see a picture you like on his memorial page, I could scan one for the public domain. Eric Selker's article in Genetics was wonderful. My father never had much interest in being famous. I'll say a few more words in the Talk section there. Metzenberg (talk) 03:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Bronisław Hager

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Bronisław Hager requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Protein interactions

Yeast2Hybrid

edit

Hi... this bot you set up is much less than perfect. For example, on the LNGFR (p75) page, first the interactions were duplicated, and second the entire point of the LNGFR is to bind the various neurotrophic factors (NGF, BDNF, NT-3, NT-4), and yet you on:hly list NGF and none of the other neurotrophins as binding the LNGFR... which is quite confusing to non-experts. Also in other cases the interactions are incomplete, to say the least. Gacggt (talk) 02:23, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your comment. Hoooopps, sorry for this bug. I've updated the references by searching the content after ==Interaction==, but meanwhile, the header has been changed from ==Interaction== to ==_Interaction_==. I used the 'biogrid' to find the interactions http://www.thebiogrid.org/SearchResults/summary/110870 but I only used the interactions having two or more references to avoid the false positives. --Plindenbaum (talk) 07:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Correction of serious misinformation in James Braid article

edit

Hi, I have requested that the title for the article on James Braid be changed from the inappropriate, misleading, and historically incorrect current title of James Braid (physician) to the appropriate and historically correct title of James Braid (surgeon).

On the basis that you have contributed to the current article in some way, I thought that you should know that the article will be moving within 7 days from James Braid (physician) to the appropriate and correct title of James Braid (surgeon) unless there is widespread, informed, and fact-based objections.

It would be helpful if you could express your support for the correction of what seems to have been, originally, an inadvertent error, at site of the discussion of proposal. Thanks, in anticipation . . . Lindsay658 (talk) 09:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted

edit

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 01:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:SWL/mutations associated to

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Category:SWL/mutations associated to requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!
