User:Weatherman5000
I'm not going to sugercoat this into some long, dragged out RFC or RFAr, so I'm going to say this pretty straight foward. I am going to suggest to you indef blocking this user. It's obvious from his comment above here, his warnings on his talk page for being blocked for vandalism and persistant warnings that the communities patience has worn thin with him. semper fi — Moe  20:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, you said "within the hour he would be blocked" and not a minute later.. :) I just found the comments on your talk disgraceful and no one should have to put up with that, especially you. semper fi —  Moe  21:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Your blatant erasure of Weatherman5000's barnstars should be considered vandalism. I demand that you resign your position as a Wiki user. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.178.101.84 (talk • contribs).

Proteosome sic?
Dear ClockworkSoul, I think the title of the last mail I have received from you is a missprint. Proteosome is only sounds "proteosome" but it is proteasome as it is the title of the article! I think it is not an alternative name of the same component. best regards from Kohlasz 21:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

How is an article nominated?
Hi I saw proteasome and realized that if an article as small as this can get nominated, then my recent article on Thy1 (CD90) is much more detailed than this and has lot more references. Just that I couldnt find a crystal structure for it. Do you think it can be nominated (though its not written by collaboration, its written almost 100% by me so far, the few IP address you see are my unlogged entries)? --Dr.saptarshi 02:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

BAX
Thanks for the welcome. How do I get a page (Bcl-2–associated death protein) renamed? BAX is an acronym for "Bcl-2-associated X protein", not "Bcl-2-associated death protein; see Oltvai et al, 1993, who state, "For this reason, hereafter we refer to p21 as Bax (i.e., Bcl-2-associated X protein)".

Article Title Style Question - Acronyms
I looked in the style guidelines for article titles and didn't find the answer to this question, perhaps it has been discussed in this or other groups...What is proper when a title word is an acronym? An example: The BCL in BCL-2 is an acronym for "B-Cell Lymphoma", so should the article title be "BCL-2", or "Bcl-2"?

A related question (for the biology community) is, what standard is used for distinguishing between gene names and protein names? Even in the research literature, there are several "standards" (with the quotations emphasizing that they aren't always followed diligently). You can imagine the options: 1) gene name in all caps, protein name in lowercase; 2) gene name in italics, protein name in roman; 3) etc. Have we all agreed on a standard, and if so, what is it? This might be a good topic for a FAQ for the Molecular Biology et al project(s).

~Doc~ EquationDoc 04:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, my first question wasn't clear. An example: the BAX article is titled "Bcl-2-associated X protein", but should it instead have been "BCL-2-associated X protein"? This is probably silly, but it makes a difference when linking to it, since if you want to write it as "BCL-2-associated X protein", but the article is titled "Bcl-2-associated X protein" then the link would be BCL-2-associated X protein . ~Doc~ EquationDoc 05:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Just finished reading our style manual. Alle ist Klar. I'll fix it for the Bcl-2 stuff as I go. One minor point WRT the naming convention is the whole p system, that is, p53, p21, p27, etc. By the standard, p53 would never be written, it would always be TP53 and TP53 for humans, Tp53 and Tp53 for orthologues, which definitely goes against the research literature (which is admitedly sloppy). Of course, the whole p system is ridiculous anyway, since a protein's weight isn't unique. (Who started that system anyway?) Anyway, I'll get over it. :) ~Doc~ EquationDoc 05:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * gC1qR/p33 huh? Hmm. I hate the "BP" (binding protein) tendency. I think about p53, it was first identified as binding to E6 in SV40, so it would have been named E6BP (ie. a human protein named by the simian virus protein it binds to--absurd). So, I've been working on apoptosis for about a year now, and only five minutes ago found out the HUGO name for PUMA is BBC3 (complement component 1, q subcomponent binding protein). Go figure. And now I feel compelled to rename the PUMA article. *L* ~Doc~ EquationDoc 06:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Question about OR and using a Master's thesis
I have a question about using a Master's thesis (http://www.archive.org/download/Rickert_EVE_MES_Thesis_2005/Rickert_Eve_MES_Thesis_2005.pdf) as a reference for a Wiki page. This is my thesis, but it has been accepted and I have been awarded my degree, so it would count as an acceptable reference, and not OR, correct? In other media, generally dissertations and  Master's theses are considered acceptable citations since they have been through the "peer review" of a committee. Also, there are some portions that I think could be copied wholesale for Wiki articles or sections - such as "Dynamics of the Interntional Coffee market," "Coffee and the Environment," "The International Coffee Agreement" and "'Sustainable' Coffees." Since I own the copyright, this would be ok, is that correct? Is there a special procedure or notation I should use if I want to do this? Thanks!Margareta 22:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome and orientation message; I'm sure I will find it very helpful. I am taking a molecular biology course right now that I absolutely love. Plus I like to write and/or edit. So, I'm hoping I can be of some use over the next several months with the MCB project. In all my spare time, that is. Ha! Cheers! Keesiewonder 23:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Good Morning Clocwork Soul - I'm not sure who to ask for help, but you seem like a good choice. How do you go about dealing with vandalism? Please see the most recent entry from 87.86.29.226 on the Biotechnology page. As best I can tell, most every entry from this user is vandalism and has been reverted.

Prions
I am not a biologist so I am not sure that I have not made any mistakes. However, I was somewhat stunned at how the introduction seemed to downplay the genetic component to some of these diseases (I notice that this deficiency was corrected lower in the article, but the article should be consistent). The article seemed to only concentrate on BSE and related prion diseases and not mention the others. This is especially true when it seemed that the original article included the other prion diseases. I am not sure why. Maybe I am missing something?--ReasonIsBest 17:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Articles_for_deletion/Log/2006_November_28

Could you remind me how to look up the content for an article that has been deleted? I was a bit surprised to see that this one was deleted, and practically immediately. Like I think the same day someone recommend it. The user who asked that it be deleted is admitedly a new user according to their user page. The only other person who voted had a user page that I found a bit offensive. I thought if articles were not clearly a speedy delete that they were granted a 5 day discussion period. Based on some articles that I've seen that apparently exist with no complaint, Church Street, Burlington, VT may very well deserve mention on Wikipedia. Thanks for your help in steering me in the "right" direction. Keesiewonder 01:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

MCB stub for deletion
Hi Clockwork - if you get a chance you should check out the fact the Molecular and Cellular Biology-stub is up for deletion --> a note has been left on the WP talk:MCB page. I left a bit of a grumpy message, but I did notice the guy has been an Admin for all of 1 day.

Also, this development mirrors the massive issues I've had with the Manual of Style bogans who just like tagging articles with annoying boxes rather than fixing them or offering constructive criticism. I've had a go rewriting a draft revision for the Manual of Style (writing about fiction) to try and inject some sense, but the whole thing still winds me up. I guess I'm a "builder" or a "revisionist" rather than a "deletionist" at heart. Enough rambling. See you, Dr Aaron 08:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Speed Square / Steel Square
I have been editing these 2 articles since their inception. Initially It was my intent to use "speed Square" as a general term. It has been used synonomously with the triangular square in the carpentry trade and it was intended to explain the rudimentary use and or comparison to the Steel Square. I did not realize that it was a trade name. I am a beginner at using the Wiki code,excuse the ignorance. Also to avoid redundancy, I wanted to define words like Ridge Board, there apparently is no glossary of Carpentry terms. How would you suggest starting one? You have a section on measuring instruments that is a quick and helpful guide that links users to this. Could it be linked to your glossary? page. Jack 02:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Metabolism and Cell metabolism
Hi, I noticed you marked the cell metabolism article as requiring immediate attention on the cell biology wikiproject. I just merged the content into Metabolism, which still needs some work... however, where I really need help is on fixing the listings of cell metabolism on the wikiproject page, since it doesn't make sense to leave the article listing and evaluation on the talk page of a somewhat defunct article.

Thanks and Questions
Hi there too, thanks for your message. I guess that I figured I had done all that I could with the article, (peer-review and such) and thought that it might be ready for the next step. It really it is such a huge subject, hopefully my move was not a mistake....

Anyways that brings me to my question. Several of the grad students, post docs and a few professors (up to 20 indiv.) at my work and school have expressed interest in developing an "Immunology group" that would contribute to and attempt to improve all Immunology and some medicine related articles. I think that we would like to be "linked" in some way, but I get the impression that shared accounts are really a no-no here? I thought since you are an admin. you might know of some way that we could be recognized as a group, or if you have any other ideas??--DO11.10 04:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The messages on Reach Out and your user page caught my attention, and I just want to let you know that there is at least one person out in the Wiki world who is hoping and wishing that all turns out okay for you. From the message on your user page, it sounds like a very special person broke your trust; I'm so sorry, and though I've never had it happen to me, I can imagine the immense grief you're suffering. If at all possible, I urge you not to let her out of your life. Nothing is more special than love; don't let her go because of one mistake she made, if you can help it.

If you want someone to talk to, I'll be here. Wishing you well,  P.B. Pilh e  t  /  Talk  21:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I wish you all the best and hope you come through this. We all have dark periods in our lives, but we care about you. You are not alone. TimVickers 22:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

It sounds pretty horrible, what you are feeling. Sorry that no one noticed your upsetness until now, I hope that we're still able to give you some comfort. I wish you the best in finding solace in your stress. Good luck, -- Nataly a 23:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Clockwork - I don't know you much, but I've admired your work. I'm really sorry for what you're going through; I trust that things will work out, and wish you the best.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 00:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Clockwork, I'm really sorry for your loss which, regrettably, I understand from both sides now. Hopefully, the tempests will quiet with time, and you'll be able to see everything in a larger and softer light. Please let me encourage you to forgive her and try to understand her, if only for your own sake. I sometimes listen to Bach for hours to help remind me that there's beauty in the world, in our friends, and even in those who have hurt us; even they are as full of goodness as a pomegranate is full of seeds. Willow 13:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Clockwork, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so much pain right now. I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me so much here, and probably don't even know it, just by noticing my work and offering your assistance, you have made me feel like a part of a supportive community. The best advice I ever got in dark times was to go out into the world and discover something or someplace you never knew existed. Discovering something outside yourself almost always leads to discovering something good about yourself. One of my greatest "outings" was to take one of those city walking tours, in a totally foreign part of the city. If your city offers them I suggest it, it really did work. (If not museums often work well too.) Wishing you all the best--DO11.10 18:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Reaching out...
I know you may not read this, but I hope that you do. I don't know that I can help you, but I'm willing to try. I don't know what you want to talk, but I'm willing to listen. I don't know that you care about life, but I want you to care.

There are people here who want to help. My email is elaramishue(at)gmail.com. I can get on MSN, or Gchat, or IRC, or anything you like. No one should live without hope. --<font face="Verdana"><font color="SteelBlue">Elar a <font color="SteelBlue">girl  Talk 01:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Whats this about you not being noticed??
Hey! Just noticed you on the stressed users list... Well of-course you are being noticed! Everytime you send out a newsletter for WMCB you r noticed. Take a wikibreak if you want: try and relax de-stress out and then hit the ground running... <div style="float:center;border-style:solid;border-color:blue;background-color:AliceBlue;border-width:1px;text-align:left;padding:8px;" class="plainlinks">

 * Hi there. I'm scrambling to catch up with stuff. Thanks for updating the list. Not having you around makes us all realise just how essential your contributions to this project are! Hope you're healing. TimVickers 17:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear from you. Keep in touch and haste ye back. TimVickers 21:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Huh? That was strange, I don't usually check out the stressed users list, but somehow got there and was surprised to see your name on the list. Perhaps nobody puts your user page and talk page on their watchlists, but I would definitely not be a happy camper if you were to leave permanently! I've been a little more actively lately, but by and large, I'm fairly inactive on Wikipedia as well. I hope the stress doesn't get you down, and I know you want to be motivated by something else, but if outrage is a good motivation for editing, I fart in your general direction! --Deathphoenix ʕ 15:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Despite there obviously wasn't a huge turnout for the blanking of your user page, no need to worry, because I'll be glad to listen to any problems you may have. Hang in there & remember that my talk page is always open... :) Spawn Man 03:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Clockwork,

I was drifting away on happy dreams, when I suddenly woke up thinking that you needed a letter to remind you that people care about you. :) Warning: gushy and poorly thought-out stuff ahead. ;)

Maybe it's not the right time to say this, but I believe that forgiving people, and being kind and generous, can redeem us from bitterness and sorrow. I don't know your and her story, but I sense that you still care for her; why not be gentle with her and also with yourself? I'm sure that life will be generous to you in return. At 31, you have oceans of time before you; why not see the oceans of goodness within her, within the people around you &mdash; and within you? You're here, volunteering your time, learning and teaching and filling the world with light, surrounded by friends who respect you, who care for you and share your sorrows. If you could feel but the tenth part of the good will that your friends are sending you, you would realize that we are living in an echo of Eden.

A well-meaning friend, Willow 01:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Advice more practical: Once broken, things rarely mend, which we must accept serenely. But a friendly goodbye dinner, sharing wine and old stories, is sometimes nice, if done in the right spirit, acting as a period that lends sense and understanding to its sentence. Good luck!

Hi ClockworkSoul,

I'm a newcomer to wikipedia, and I was browsing The Transhumanist's User Page Design examples and I found yours. Your system of nested tables and transclusion is fantastic! I have to admit I shamelessly yoinked your layout because it's awesome and express my gratitude. --Entropy Rising 21:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Help Me Steal Your Userpage
I was trying to steal your userpage when I noticed everything is evily included into the delivered page via templates and things, making it very difficult to steal by any method I'm aware. Is it possible without paintakingly recreating every page/template? --Seans Potato Business 19:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just poking around, I notice you seem to have been upset by something recently (sorry I'm a bit late to the party). I'm still looking into what happened (something to do with a lady friend?) but wanted to let you know that I hope you're okay (I'm the user formally known as username132 - you might recognise that from the MCB project). Wikipedia can seem an uncaring place at times but hopefully there has been enough response to your situation to convince you otherwise. --Seans Potato Business 20:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, nevermind! I figured it out - I was looking at it all wrong. Feel free to check it in a week or two to see what I did with it! Thanks for doing the hardwork so I don't have to :) --Seans Potato Business 20:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay I'm back again! I'm using the same code except that ClockworkSouls are Seans Potato Business's but there is something messed up about the left pane - can you tell what it is? --Seans Potato Business 22:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hotlinking Problem
Hi, I'm a 21 year old student, blogger and subscriber to newscientist magazine. I noticed in my web usage recently that there was particular strain on one file on my server, a pdf file relating to coffee - lifted by me from the newscientist web archive. You have hotlinked the pdf, and used it without NS or my permission as a reference for the caffeine article (Refernce 2 - Article by R. Lovett). The offending edit can be found here. Considering I am breaking copyright by actually publishing the article, but did so to share with a small group of friends on the coffeesnobs.com.au site, I would ask that you either rehost the document on a public server or remove the reference, in order that I do not expose myself any further to litigation.

I also ask that in the future you gain hosts' permission to hotlink, as quite apart from being impolite, the act is actually stealing - using a resource without permission, for free that someone else has paid for.

Thankyou for your time, and in advance for your actions.

dialagranny 05:00, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry - as evidenced by Dmanning's and your own reactions, my point must not have been made - my fault entirely. What I am asking is that you remove the hotlink to my file, whether that be through removing the 90% claim in the article, thereby rendering the reference unnecessary or alternatively by hosting the article elsewhere. I will be removing the source soon, but do not want to inconvenience other wikipedia users when the link to the pdf file becomes corrupt. This is the reason why I have contacted you - I am aware I can do the edit myself but wish to offer you an alternative to simply removing the reference. dialagranny 05:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I wandered off in another direction in another tab, and Tim beat me here ;) Note that the number of assessed articles has expanded enormously thanks to Tameeria's work, so including all of them on one worklist page may make it unmanageably big; separating by topic section might be useful. If you don't have the time to update it, maybe you could send some of us the tool you've been using? Thanks! Opabinia regalis 17:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
