Disambiguation link notification for June 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fallujah, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anbar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:52, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

It's not clear whether the original source refers to Anbar province or the town of Anbar, so I'm not in a position to disambiguate. Mikalra (talk) 02:56, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Lowry (entrepreneur)


Hello. A tag has been placed on Adam Lowry (entrepreneur) 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. red dogsix (talk) 00:06, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Oswald Avery
Hi, I did some editing on your recent addition to Oswald Avery, but it seems to me that the section "Debate over the pathogen in the 1918 influenza epidemic" ends somewhat abruptly and isn't quite finished. Did you want to add some more material? Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 01:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi: thanks for your valuable edit — and yes, it DOES kind of run out of steam: I couldn't find a clear enough explanation of how the whole thing actually shook out as it regards Oswald, so I put what my source indicated (clarified by a couple of external refs) and dropped it. Hopefully someone with better sources can pick it up from there.Mikalra (talk) 00:03, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

LPFM
Hi, just wanted to follow up on our recent disagreement at John Sepulvado re: whether XRAY.FM is a LPFM station. I'm not at all a radio expert, so I'm happy to drop it, but I wanted to let you know why I thought it was not. I can consistently pick up its signal all over Portland and well beyond, which is unlike most LPFM stations I've listened to. So I had asked the executive director of XRAY, who I know. He said: "XRAY is not an LPFM. (Actually never was. A small station, 🐭 but not an LPFM.)" My conclusion was that it was LPFM prior to the transfer from Reed College (and that station was almost impossible to pick up!) but that the more recent, bigger transmitters had taken it out of the realm of LPFM. You're right that there are sources that refer to it that way, and it's a small detail anyway...but I wanted to share my thinking, and if you have any further thoughts I'm curious. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 07:50, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Briggs Initiative into Ronald Reagan. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:02, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying this. I was vaguely aware that this was the policy, but had no idea how to actually comply; I will do so henceforth and also try to think of previous instances to credit retroactively.
 * Q: How should one credit similar more or less direct use of Wikipedia content in other, non-Wikimedia Wikis, where a Wiki link would not lead to Wikipedia? Just an edit note saying "ode>copied content from the Wikipedia page page name ; see that page's history for attribution "?

CureVac edit
Hello - I made this revert a) because it's not unexpected to have a candidate vaccine fail in a Phase II trial using cancer patients (most do), and b) it wasn't a research collaboration - the title of the subsection - so was in the wrong place, if warranted at all. Not everything a biotech company achieves or fails to accomplish is notable, WP:WEIGHT. Zefr (talk) 20:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hm. So if I created a new section and included this information, would you leave it to stand? You're right of course that most drugs fail early in clinical trials, but they and other companies including Moderna are trying similar approaches for cancer, and precedents matter.Mikalra (talk) 22:31, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It's an unsuccessful clinical trial, which is common in biotech drug or vaccine development, and not worthy of coverage in an encyclopedia. Zefr (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Mikalra. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia, including numerous improvements to Abortion in California. One of your edits there happened to change the lead sentence in a way that ended up triggering an edit war at the article by other editors.

There's a discussion on the Talk page about the edit warring that resulted, and you're welcome to take part in it, if you wish. Thanks again for your improvements to Wikipedia.
