I have been an editor and contributor since 8 April 2007, focusing mainly on health and biology-related articles. I have written eight articles that have appeared on the Main Page as
Todays' Featured Article. I was an administrator from 2008 to 2022, when I voluntarily relinquished the extra page tabs. I was a
Featured Article Candidates' Delegate for four years from 2012 to 2014 and I promoted 502 articles to FA status. In real life, I am a
National Health Service microbiologist. My research papers are listed on
PubMed here:
[1] "Rotavirus vaccination has saved hundreds of thousands of children’s lives from diarrhea"

Featured Article Save Award
On behalf of the
FAR coordinators, thank you, Graham Beards! Your work on Menstrual cycle has allowed the article to retain its
featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. You may display this FA star upon your userpage. Keep up the great work! Cheers,

A computer reconstruction based on cryo-electron micrographs of a rotavirus particle (A) and a rotavirus particle reacted with a monoclonal antibody (B)
Gram stain of
lactobacilli and squamous epithelial cells in vaginal swab
Gram stain showing normal flora and the bacteria seen in
bacterial vaginosis
Gram-stain of Gram-positive
streptococci surrounded by pus cells from and infected cut on a finger
Phase contrast microscopy of
clue cells in a vaginal swab
Caesium chloride (CsCl) solution and two morphological types of
rotavirus. Following centrifugation at 100g a density gradient forms in the CsCl solution and the virus particles separate according to their densities. The tube is 10cm tall. The viruses are the two "milky" zones close together.
Haemophilus influenzae requires
X and
V factors for growth. In this culture, Haemophilus has only grown around the paper disc that has been impregnated with X and V factors. No bacterial growth is seen around the discs that only contain either X or V factor.
For your contributions to bring
Menstrual cycle (estimated annual readership: 718,200) to
Featured Article status, I hereby present you the
Half Million Award. Congratulations on this rare accomplishment, and thanks for all you do for Wikipedia's readers!

A bacteriophage is a
virus that infects and replicates within
bacteria and
archaea. Bacteriophages are among the most common and diverse entities in the
biosphere, found wherever bacteria are present. Early evidence of their existence came when the English bacteriologist
Ernest Hanbury Hankin reported in 1896 that something in the waters of the
Ganges and
Yamuna rivers in India had a marked
antibacterial action against
cholera, but was so minute that it could pass through a very fine porcelain filter.
