Nucleophile participation mechanism
The mechanistic scheme should incorporate the solvent participation mechanism. For example in methanol, the carbonyl oxide undergoes attack to give an alpha-methoxyl hydroperoxide. This can be conveniently incorporated by an arrow going right in the current scheme. I lack the technical skills to do this. If you let me have the ChemDraw original, I can do the editting DavidRKelly 17:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Ozonolysis picture
Thanks a lot for the mechanism image- long needed! Walkerma 7 July 2005 19:20 (UTC)

Enzyme
Hi. I saw that you recently removed the Featured Article candidate sign from Talk:Enzyme because you didn't feel the article was good enough. While I agree with you, the procedure is to vote here on the subject instead of eliminating the candidacy. I've fixed the page, and any objections you can add on the candidacy page would help people improve the article. Enjoy your time here,

C4 Carbon fixation!
Thanks For the heads up on my shitty pyrophosphate, don't know how I missed it. Thanks again! It's all fixed now! Adenosine | Talk 10:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Insulin image
If I understand the history correctly, you are responsible for posting the new dual image of insulin. Thank you and please thank its creator (not you if I understand correctly); it's a lovely image and very good work. It's a major contributor to the article's quality. I think it's now among the best on WP, at least the parts I see regularly. Thank you again. ww 22:48, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I did make this image, if you mean the one with the monomer and hexamer structures. I did not make the picture of the actual crystals, but I did make the one of the hexamer structure with zinc ions.  These sorts of images are rather simple to make, with the free software pymol.  Insulin's 3d coordinates were taken from the crystal nmr structure deposited in the PDB under 1ai0. Chang, X.,  Jorgensen, A.M.,  Bardrum, P.,  Led, J.J. --Takometer 01:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I read the history and checked image filename just to accomplish one thing: congratulate the image poster. THANK YOU! I am learning nutrition, and have no background in chemistry (I took French instead), so I'm infinitely grateful for the little explaining blurb below it. Nastajus 03:51, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Takometer! Will you please be so kind and move your picture to Commons, so that I can use it in the german version of Insulin. Kind Regards from Austria, Rudi PumpingRudi Now also in the en-Universe. PumpingRudi 20:43, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Error in cyanogen bromide picture
Hi... I just noticed that there's an error in the figure you made for the cyanogen bromide article. It's the peptide bond of the substrate, that has been drawn erronously. I haven't used chem drawing programs for a while, so I'm not so enthusiastic about fixing it myself... :-) Kjaergaard 05:25, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:B4p.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:B4p.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 17:26, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Codon usage in Genetic Code pic
I was wondering if you could respond to the question posted at Talk:Genetic code about your picture of the genetic code. There seems to be a discrepancy / confusion about the codon usage bias numbers.

Is there an SVG version of this image? If it's trivial to do, you should consider uploading an SVG version since that's the preferred format for this sort of graphic.

Finally, although it's small, I think you shouldn't have a credit within the image. From Image use policy: "Always specify on the description page where the image came from (the source), such as scanning a paper copy, or a URL, or a name/alias and method of contact for the photographer. For screenshots this means what the image is a screenshot of (the more detail the better). Do not put credits in images themselves." As I understand it, it's contrary to the policy of wikipedia to claim credit for any contributions within the article itself, including images. Madeleine ✉ ✍ 21:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'm taking it off. I've had pictures I've made stolen off of wikipedia frequently, this one was too important for me to just let go. I wasn't aware of the credit issue. I refuse to take my name off this particular image, it was too much work, simple. Takometer (talk) 03:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry the implications of the creative commons licensing weren't clear to you - images used on wikipedia must be released under with a copyright that allows reuse, modification, and commercial usage. I appreciate your intent to contribute and I understand that it's sometimes not worth giving up ownership. The image did look like a lot of work. :) Madeleine

 * Uhm, I DO understand what the CC licence means, when I say "stolen" I mean reused WITHOUT CREDIT. I don't care if people copy it, so long as my name appears on it.  Imprinting my name in the raster image was a (admittedly non-foolproof) way to ensure that the CC licence was honored.  When the crediting information appears on the Image page, it is sufficiently decoupled from the image that a "right click/save as" does not preserve the crediting information.  Sorry, I just don't have enough trust in people to not abuse and honor that.  Most people, however, will not go to the trouble of removing the name from the raster image.

Programmed evolution
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Programmed evolution, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Brainsik (talk) 07:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I would appreciate some feedback ...
on the genetic code talk page before the figure being discussed is inserted. Doug youvan (talk) 02:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the recent undo: Those really are the properties that K&D deduced from experimental values "inside" proteins. There are exceptions, such a the protonated glutamic acid at E104 in the photosynthetic reaction center. Mutation EL104L did not cause bisymmetric electron transfer, and that residue is particularly well-studied by spectroscopists.  Also, I don't know if I can find the reference, but the K-D scale can be reduced from its current fine scale (~ -4.5 to +4.5) to a very coarse scale (-1, 0, 1) and it still predicts transmembrane protein domains just fine.

Image licensing
Hey there...

I am going through a number of images that have some minor licensing issues. I came across Image:Staudinger.png which you uploaded. The licensing on this image is not complete as it was uploaded many years ago. I wonder if you could follow the link to the image page and correct the licensing with a GFDL license (or other free license). If you have any questions or issues, please drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Staudinger.png
Thanks for uploading File:Staudinger.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

File:ECL.png needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:ECL.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).


 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.


 * If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:11, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
