Here are some quick links to key pages in my user space:


 * /Editing notes

Here are *all* the pages in my user space (this uses the "Special:PrefixIndex" template):


 * Fix Article_resources
 * Work on SANT domain (new page)
 * See if we can't clean up articles on microRNA, siRNA, Trans-acting siRNA, etc., to be ruthlessly consistent on the definitions of these molecules.
 * Redirect Public_identifier to Formal_Public_Identifier -- waiting to see if I get any response to my talk page comment (9/1/2012).
 * Steal Mr. Stradivarius's menu box. It looks much nicer than the one I have now.
 * Add PubMedHealth link to Infobox disease; see Hand, foot and mouth disease.
 * Add MESH_mult to Infobox disease. See this comment on the talk page.
 * Improve PMC. Right now it only allows linking to article numbers, not article instances.
 * Investigate Dilberri's template filling tool mentioned in the docs for that template. It is supposed to generate a fully marked up citation from a PMC number, but the link is broken.
 * Improve PubMed. It looks pretty lame.
 * That template links to this citation template generator. How is it supposed to work?
 * Are there any tools that take as input a PMCID or PMID and generate a fully-marked up ?
 * Infobox_disease template OMIM links now go to omim.org (see this discussion); but a lot of other templates are still linking to NCBI. For example, protein.  These should be fixed.  Find all the links to NCBI's OMIM site with this tool.
 * Fix protein RefSeq links to go to NCBI's RefSeq. Right now they go to UCSC.
