Hi, I wanted to know, what is the name of the highly resistant glycoprotein particles formed due to mutation in gene PRNP. Help me please. Ankit2299 ( talk) 19:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello! I've moved Serpin/sandbox from main article space to User:Evolution and evolvability/Serpin/sandbox for now, as the main space WP:Subpages feature has been disabled in English Wikipedia. Thanks, NeemNarduni2 ( talk) 01:56, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, that page actually suggests going elsewhere to try the visual editor. Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback also redirects to mw.org (it's ok if we want to give a local target, but let's pick one and use that everywhere :) ). Finally, please format the link so that it actually invokes the visual editor for IP editors as well, as that's the entire point of pointing to a sandbox in a visual editor-enabled namespace :) TY! -- Elitre (WMF) ( talk) 13:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface. Recent changesYou can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources. Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location. The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols. Future changesThe single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well. The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others. Let's work together

Hello, the changes you made to Protein expression led to a lot of links that are now pointing to the disambiguation page. There are two ways to fix this. Either it is decided that one of the articles can be considered to be the primary topic, as protein production was before, or the links need to be redirected to either of both articles. Since you were the one who has made this change, could you please figure out what would be the best solution here? Since the topic is very specific, ordinary editors won't be able to do it. Thanks, -- Midas02 ( talk) 02:24, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I came across your illustration
and it immediately looked familiar, a well-known Toulouse-Lautrec pastel of a woman with a hat wearing a corset or striped blouse? I can't find the exact prototype, but it's something like this one. So I'm not quite sure how much of the illustration actually shows some scientific property (why the kinks in the dark-blue line?, why the waist-like compression of the parallel blue arrows?) and how much it's just having fun. -- Macrakis ( talk) 20:28, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

The Evolution of Bacteria on a “Mega-Plate” Petri Dish, Harvard Medical School [1] |
Hi,
I'm the guy who put this external video into the Evolution and Antimicrobial resistance articles. I've put them back in, but I'm not trying to edit war here. User:Rkishony at Commons uploaded a copy of the original video to Commons, and you replaced my external video with the newly uploaded video. That video was then deleted at commons, leaving nothing in the articles. I'll try to contact Rkishony and explain the situation to him. IMHO opinion the video shouldn't have been deleted as we usually accept uploads from the author in good faith, and he appears to be the author. Nevertheless, I probably understand why the folks at Commons deleted it - it was his first (and only) upload, the video is a pretty prominent work, and it's even conceivable that somebody other than Rkishony owns the copyright (HMS? Science?). I'll try to contact him directly, but he has no e-mail link on his user page.
A couple of minor points:
Thanks for any help.

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support. Recent changes
Future changesThe visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic. The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list. Let's work togetherDo you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor?

I thank you for pointing out that the CRISPR page is high-traffic. I assure you that it is high-traffic because the word "CRISPR" is in the news. My latest thoughts are to move that article to "CRISPR (biology)" and split to "CRISPR (technology)". The redirect created by the move could then be turned into a disambiguation page. The moment the native Cas9-gRNA complex molecule is artificially modified in any way, you move that info to the technology page. That would be easy to understand. I expect that the biology page would then become low-traffic. This article shows that some form of CRISPR can be used to edit RNA as well. It does not really make sense to spread such info out to a bunch of other pages. The reader would never be able to sort it out if we did that.
This idea that there is mass of experts eager to engage in teamwork is probably an illusion. To demonstrate this to yourself, look at this diff and you will see that the error I posted about on the noticeboard was introduced in January. It has been sitting for ten months. Thousands of readers a day have been following that link to "CRISPR interference" to search for info about the technology and just run into a time-consuming dead end. They probably gave up and went to some other site that has its act together.
You might want to Google "jytdog" to see how much unwelcome attention that mediocre guy has attracted to himself. He reverts anything he thinks might be by me, which is why I have to post on your talk page rather that on the noticeboard or on Talk:CRISPR.
I guess what I am hoping for is that you will do the split. I expect that nobody besides jytdog would mind and very likely jytdog would let your edits stand because of your credentials (and because you do not hide behind the mask of anonymity the way he does).-- 172.56.33.212 ( talk) 13:20, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for visualising all this information! I just had a thought that maybe mentioning reverse transcription, as information flow from RNA (mRNA, ncRNA) to DNA (cDNA) could be worth it? I started the discussion here: Template talk:Eukaryote gene structure#Reverse transcription.

Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support. Recent changes
Future changesThe visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic. The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list. Let's work togetherDo you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce. If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations!

I thank you for pointing out that the CRISPR page is high-traffic. I assure you that it is high-traffic because the word "CRISPR" is in the news. My latest thoughts are to move that article to "CRISPR (biology)" and split to "CRISPR (technology)". The redirect created by the move could then be turned into a disambiguation page. The moment the native Cas9-gRNA complex molecule is artificially modified in any way, you move that info to the technology page. That would be easy to understand. I expect that the biology page would then become low-traffic. This article shows that some form of CRISPR can be used to edit RNA as well. It does not really make sense to spread such info out to a bunch of other pages. The reader would never be able to sort it out if we did that.
This idea that there is mass of experts eager to engage in teamwork is probably an illusion. To demonstrate this to yourself, look at this diff and you will see that the error I posted about on the noticeboard was introduced in January. It has been sitting for ten months. Thousands of readers a day have been following that link to "CRISPR interference" to search for info about the technology and just run into a time-consuming dead end. They probably gave up and went to some other site that has its act together.
You might want to Google "jytdog" to see how much unwelcome attention that mediocre guy has attracted to himself. He reverts anything he thinks might be by me, which is why I have to post on your talk page rather that on the noticeboard or on Talk:CRISPR.
I guess what I am hoping for is that you will do the split. I expect that nobody besides jytdog would mind and very likely jytdog would let your edits stand because of your credentials (and because you do not hide behind the mask of anonymity the way he does).-- 172.56.33.212 ( talk) 13:20, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for visualising all this information! I just had a thought that maybe mentioning reverse transcription, as information flow from RNA (mRNA, ncRNA) to DNA (cDNA) could be worth it? I started the discussion here: Template talk:Eukaryote gene structure#Reverse transcription.

This should look familiar to you: w:es:Ayuda:Introducción. Sadads tells me that it's being ported there to support the #1lib1ref project in particular, and is getting positive feedback. I've also heard uniformly positive comments about your introduction system from tech writers and related professionals. Thanks, again, for doing this.
