Hello; this is a talk page. Please leave me a message! (I will reply on your talk page.) Also, insults will generally not be taken seriously. Instead, I will probably laugh at your poor use of capitalization, horrible spelling, and/or confusing grammar. I am active usually between 23:00 and 6:00 UTC, so if you message me outside of that time you probably won't get an immediate response. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)}

[edit] Fast reverts

True enough. But in his case, since I'm refreshing his contributions page every 10 seconds, I'm pretty confident. :-) Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 01:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Upcoming template changes

Hi, I've just noticed that you recently left a templated userpage message. I'm just bringing to your attention that the format and context of these templates will be shortly changing. It is recommended that you visit WikiProject user warnings and harmonisation discussion pages to find out how these changes could affect the templates you use. We also would appreciate any insights or thoughts you may have on the subject. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 14:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] WikiGuard

Hey, thanks for contributing to the article. I know it's small, but every little bit helps. If you think it's looking okay now, check this out. Image:WikiGuard.png. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 02:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I just noticed that you offered to test, which is great! I have a sourceforge page with a bug and feature tracker running. Right now the app isn't fully functional as clicking either of the revert buttons doesn't actually revert as I've yet to write the code. I suspect I'll get that part up and running within the next 2 days. I'll point you to the download after that. Cool? --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 05:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, the screenshot isn't a mock-up or anything. That's the in-development program running. Still a few things to be polished up, but I'll get it to you within 48 hours. :)

Okay, I got the most recent version up. I was working on integrating the webview, but I had to scrap it for this release as the MediaWiki API isn't yet letting me programmatically submit changes to articles (meaning we can't yet easily have a one-click revert button). So here's what you do: go and download the most recent version. Load it up and go nuts. Gimme a call on Skype if you're running into any problems. Cool? --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 11:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, here's the bug tracker and the feature tracker. Upload some new ones if you see anything and I'm not online. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 12:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The toolbar bug you're seeing is the result of having a previous version of WikiGuard installed, I think. Just drag the default toolbar back onto it. That should solve that. As for the other bugs, I've put them into the tracker and I'll take a look at them today. Much appreciated! --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 01:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, do you have one of the following through which we could communicate (in order of preference): Skype (bradbeattie), GTalk (bradbeattie@gmail.com), IRC (bradbeattie@freenode)? Just contact me on one of those if you can. Makes active chatting easier. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 01:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For reverting vandalism to my user page. I appreciate it. --Guinnog 23:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] do you know, for sure that 24.80.106.240 editing Homophobia is not actually Supercraft99?

is that IP a known spoofer or sock-artist? just curious. i've seen people edit from an IP and sign their WP username and i've never seen this get blanked by someone else, except maybe in the Bogdanov affair. r b-j 00:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Well...I have some evidence both ways. 24.80.106.240 belongs to somebody in Canada, and Supercraft99 is, in fact, located in Canada. However, the IP is from Alberta whereas Supercraft99 is from British Columbia (according to his userpage). I don't really like impersonators, but perhaps I should have left this alone? What do you think? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 01:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

it's just that Homophobia is a really hot (as in controversial, perhaps i should call it "toxic" or "radioactive") WP article. it's been frozen since last month and, even with a mediator poking her head in, has had a lot of acrimony expressed in the talk page. if you know it isn't really Supercraft99, it should be removed. i dunno what to say if you have a good suspicion but not an air-tight case it is. the real Supercraft99 oughta be able to revert the deletion (hopefully logged in), but if the IP (or even someone else) reverts it, i would not delete it again, unless you know for sure it's a spoof. at least that's my judgement about it. r b-j 02:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, it's Supercraft99 here. Sorry, I was tired and forgot to log in when I posted on the talk page. About the Alberta thing, my Internet Service Provider, Shaw, has it's head offices in Alberta. Supercraft99 04:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For the Intel Version of AIV'er. I was going to ask someone to see if it worked for Intel Macs, but I guess it didn't. The next release I'll make sure is a universal binary to make it easy for everyone. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 05:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Yep, I took the day today and got a universal release out. Hopefully that'll be better. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 05:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I just want to notify you that I have made a (simi-)major update of AIV'er. You can see the details on it's page. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 21:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello M1ss1ontomars2k4, I am in the process of a major edit of the Beeston regis Page and we seem to Be Doing the same thing! Will you be carrying on with your clean-up before i have finished or do you want me to stop my editsStavros1 23:24, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IC 442

I have encountered the article you created on IC 442. I found hardly anything on this galaxy in the scientific literature. As far as I can tell, it is a fairly uninteresting spiral galaxy. Could you please explain why you created an article on this galaxy? Dr. Submillimeter 16:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I was just hoping for more information on this object that could potentially be put into the article. Dr. Submillimeter 15:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thanks dear for ur guidence! SANJAYBAFNA 06:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AQ Wikiproject

Hey M1ss1ontomars2k4, I noticed you have an interest in AQ. I'm trying to start a AQ Wikiproject. It'd be cool if you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals and add yourself to the list of interested Wikipedians so that we can start up a Adventure Quest Wikiproject. Thank You.

[edit] Invitation

I've seen your edits to articles related to the Bay Area, such as Albany High School, so I was wondering if you'd like to join WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area. It's a WikiProject that focuses on improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Bay Area. If you'd like to join, just add your name to the member list. Thanks for reading! — Emiellaiendiay 08:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hi, M1ss1ontomars2k4, and welcome to WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles relevant to the Bay Area. Here are some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve Bay Area-related articles, so if people ask for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able. Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page. It is highly recommended that you watchlist it. The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, which you are welcome to participate. Our system for improving lower-quality articles is Jumpaclass. If you'll be editing stub, start, or B-class articles, consider using Jumpaclass to track your progress. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign Bay Area topics. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.

P.S. Right now we're focusing on tagging everything Bay Area-related. You can pitch in by adding {{SFBAProject | class=}} to the top of talk pages of articles. Think of anything Bay Area-related — it helps if they're obscure local articles no one else might think of. Click here if you need more information on assessing articles. Thanks!

[edit] Your screenshot of VandalFighter

On the VF page I noticed your screenshot of the application. When I run it, it doesn't use the OS X interface elements like yours, but instead has a nasty, grey, Windows 95 looking one. Are you doing anything particular to make it look like this, or is it an odd configuration on my end? Matt J ^User|Talk 21:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I just downloaded 3.3, and that has the OS X interface, I guess if I want to use 3.5, I'll have to bear the nastyness. Matt J ^User|Talk 09:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I have further investigated, and it seems that every version up until the newest version in the 3.5 download page uses OS X widgets. Matt J ^User|Talk 11:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jumpaclass

This is an invitation to use WP:BAY's Jumpaclass option for improving articles. If you're working on any Bay Area-related stub, start, or B-class articles, simply add their names to the list, and if any of the articles improve a class within a week, you'll be recognized for your contributions. If you have any questions about how it works, post on the talk page or on mine. Thanks for reading! — Emiellaiendiay 21:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for fixing my fumarate problem

Well that error spread because I just copied it from one picture to the next. I tell you, I checked over these diagrams 8-9 times, but missed this! thanks! Adenosine^talk 09:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transcription

A mutation within the protein coding sequence isn't generally expected to affect the synthesis of said gene's mRNA, but can certainly affect gene translation. If one considers the term "gene" to encompass all of the important non-coding sequences associated with each proteins's DNA coding sequence (promoter regions, splice sites, polyadenylation sites), then the answer is most certainly yes. -- Scientizzle 01:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

According to my 6/e Campbell, that stuff doesn't count as part of the gene, and our articles concur. Does that mean transcription would not be affected by a change in the genes? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 05:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I haven't a Campbell laying around, but the gene article certainly lists the promoter as part of the gene, as well as the statement "Most genes contain non-coding regions that do not code for the gene products, but regulate gene expression". Truthfully, when most people say "gene" they really mean "coding sequence". A point mutation within the coding sequence on the DNA is fairly unlikely to cause a change in the transcription of that mRNA—but it's not impossible. We've only scratched the surface in terms of how expression is regulated. A point mutation may alter, say, a DNA methylation site (CpG site), changing the expression. (On a larger scale, see Fragile X syndrome). Some genes produce protein products that regulate their own expression and a point mutation altering the amino acid sequence could affect that interaction. If one does not restrict discussion to point mutations, but considers deletions, inversions, insertions and duplications, the odds are greater that a given alteration of the DNA sequence my affect transcription.

Outside of the protein-coding sequence, altering an initiation site, termination sequence, polyadenylation site or any number of regulatory, non-coding RNAs, could change mRNA expression of one or more genes. -- Scientizzle 20:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese Indonesian Article

Why did you undo my changes (removed 'China totok' from transliteration list of 'Indonesian Chinese') on 31 May 2006? I explained the removal in the Talk page of that article. I've removed it again for now, if you think that is not appropriate, can you post a reason in the Talk page of the article? Thanks Benny Benjamin 14:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Further reply on my talk page. Thanks. Benny Benjamin 08:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
