Speedy deletion nomination of Rachael meskowitz
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Rachael meskowitz, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Group Member!
editHey Rachael!
Just wanted to drop a line since we know now that we are group members. Shivani's also in our group. We have a talk page where we can chat about the project when necessary. Here's a link: Group 81E Talk Page Hope to talk to you soon! Rashaalam (talk) 17:23, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hey Rachael, I just wanted to ask if you're comfortable sharing your e-mail address with me, or setting up a dropbox account and sharing the e-mail address for your dropbox account with me? I have 14 articles in our shared folder, quite a few of which Shivani added today and which I hadn't found earlier, and they are really helpful. It's just easier to pool the articles into one shared folder we can all access! But if you're not comfortable that's fine too... just wanted to know :) Rashaalam (talk) 01:39, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hey Rasha! Its no problem! I try to be on my personal email alot but lately its been hard... My personal email is [email protected] I have a dropbox account on there too... and my work email is [email protected] if you need to get a hold of me between 7am and 330pm eastern time :-) Rmeskowitz22 (talk) 01:55, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- Aw thanks! I just wanted to add you to our Dropbox folder because we have a ton of articles in there and I didn't want you to miss out on any of them =D Rashaalam (talk) 07:22, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Southern Blot.tiff)
editThanks for uploading File:Southern Blot.tiff. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:01, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Rachel. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Klortho (talk) 00:56, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hey Chris, actually I wanted to jump in and ask - if we make an image that is similar to one we've come across, will we be able to add that to the article? I am planning to do so for the map of the Bacteriophage T12 genome, but I want to make sure before starting to make it. Thanks in advance! Rashaalam (talk) 01:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Sorry it took so long to reply to this. I have been swamped with my own class. If there's ever a delay in my responding, then put a note on my talk page, and I'll definitely see that right away. The answer is yes, you can make a figure that is substantially similar to a non-free image, as long as it's not a facsimile of some kind (like a vector trace). But if, for example, you're copying the basic flow of a cartoon of some biological process, I think that is fine. But keep in mind, IANAL (I am not a lawyer!)

Thanks Chris! I think I got it to work.... It took a few tries but i finally got it! Rmeskowitz22 (talk) 00:00, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. What does it mean, "got it to work"? Klortho (talk) 13:51, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
