Hi there

edit

Good to have another fellow Wikipedian with an interest in enzymology. As I'm sure you can tell, the page on Enzyme catalysis needs a lot of work! I'd be grateful for any help you can give here. One thing to note is that it is a general Wiki guideline that if a article uses the <ref>vickers tj "Great paper explaining everything" JBC 2006</ref> format then you should try to stick with that format. I wish there was a single format for refs on Wikipedia, it would make all our live a lot easier. Thanks again for your input. TimVickers 15:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Something that helps me a lot is automatic ref formatting. Using the Bookmarklet as detailed on this page makes adding references as easy as cut and paste. The format it produces also makes the PubMed ID a link to the PubMed abstract. TimVickers 02:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

disambiguation for Administrative Review Board?

edit

I'm not sure about how to fix this ambiguation problem:

Administrative Review Board - This already existed, it needs a link to the other possible definition

Administrative Review Board (Labor) - I created this stub

ARB - I added to this

I'll work on fixing this for you and get back to you in a few minutes. W. Flake (talk) 02:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I fixed the disambiguation problem. You may want to tweak the wording of the text, though.
If you need any more help, feel free to leave a message for me on my talk page. W. Flake (talk) 03:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Stupidity at Life

edit

Thank you for your question about suspected vandalism to Life. A little digging around showed the obvious: that this drivel was added by one of WP's thousands of "challenged" editors to a legitimate quote. After all, clues abound. Consider this: its just a bunck of homosexual fagets; I think that our addled editor meant it's just a bunch of homosexual faggots; quite aside from the risible orthographic failures, this raises the possibility of heterosexual "faggots". More broadly, published and indeed respected and celebrated photographers don't talk like excited nine-year-olds.

Incidentally, I moved your question down from the head of the talk page to what was then the foot, or more specifically here. Please add a new point to a talk page at its foot rather than its head. Thanks. -- Hoary 04:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

What to do about vandalism?

edit

I fixed the vandalism for Weapon but I'm not sure what to do any further about it.

Please use WP:WARN templates on vandals. It helps everyone. Thanks! Xiner (talk, email) 22:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'll reply for Xiner, who is offline at the moment. You can learn how to use templates at Help:Templates. In particular, with vandalism templates, always make sure that you use Help:Subst. The reason we use these templates is because they leave behind specific traces that bots and other special programs can notice, and it lets other editors know which "levels" of warnings have been applied. In particular, for repeat vandals, one of the steps is to report them at WP:AIAV but this requires that they have received a "level 4" warning (usually either {{test4}} or {{blatantvandal}} in particular. The templates also provide links to useful information for new editors who may be unaware of exactly what our editing policies are. So, again, consult Help:Templates and Help:Subst for usage. I hope that answered your question. Get back to me or Xiner if you're still wondering, or ask at WP:HELPDESK for a (hopefully) quick response. =) — coelacan talk12:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Coelacan. Clemwang, you may also want to take a look at another discussion on my talk page and on User talk:Vbd. If you still don't understand how to do it, please let me know. Xiner (talk, email) 15:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cloning

edit

It's much to early to re-protect the article. Pages tend to get vandalized again after unprotection, but the point of Wikipedia is that it is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I'd prefer if you would wait until you see some high vandalism levels before re-requesting page protection. Nishkid64 21:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

GA review

edit

Sorry, I didn't see the list you had previously added. I'd say give the editors a few days to rework the section, and if it's not cleaned up, delisting is a possibility. I'll include it in WP:Film's film tasks and hopefully drive some interest in getting the summary fixed. --Nehrams2020 06:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
