TMEM205
Hi. Thanks for your contributions to the TMEM205 article. I would really, really, really appreciate if you would ask your instructor to contact me. While the contribution of your class are appreciated, they contains some formatting errors that require a lot of cleanup by other editors afterwards. I also have some concerns about the notability and original research contained in these articles.

Here are a number of common formatting issues that I have identified in the articles created by your class:


 * For consistency with other Gene Wiki articles, the GNF_Protein_box infobox should normally not be included directly in the article but rather transcluded using the PBB template. User:ProteinBoxBot is setup to maintain transcluded templates, but not templates directly contained in articles. The GeneWikiGenerator will automatically create both the template and the article that transcludes the template.
 * Concerning the lead sentence, as discussed here and here, we have tried to make clear that these Gene Wiki articles are not only about the human gene/protein, but also orthologs that exist in other species. The wording that was reached through consensus is perhaps a little awkward, but it is both accurate and concise:
 *  is a protein that in humans is encoded by the  gene.
 * The "that" in the above sentence is non-limiting implying that the protein (and gene) exists in other species besides human.


 * Per WP:HEAD, sentence case should be used for section headings.
 * Per WP:REFPUNC, punctuation before citations.
 * Selection of gene. A gene, even if it is human, may not meet Wikipedia notability requirements unless a function has determined for the protein.  Many of the genes that have been selected by your class are pretty obscure.  There are some well known gene families for which not all members have Wikipedia articles that might be a better choice since the function of these genes is generally known (see for example the red links in Solute_carrier_family). Don't worry about the notability for now. I am certainly not suggesting that the subject of any articles that have already been created be changed.  However, I would appreciate if you would pass this information along to your instructor so that selection of genes by future classes consider notability.
 * In case you haven't seen this yet, please check out User:Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool (instructions). Given a PubMed ID, one can quickly produce a full citation that can be copied and pasted into a Wikipedia article. This tool can save you a lot of work and ensure that the citations are displayed in a consistent manner.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Conceptual Trans Membrane 205.pdf


A tag has been placed on File:Conceptual Trans Membrane 205.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.
