If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

• If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.

• You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.

• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 14:52, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi Dmb0000006, thanks for contributing to the various biology articles. You probably should look at our naming conventions and Manual of Style, to make sure you create articles that use the proper wikipedia format. For example, please don't forget to actually include and bold the name of the article in the article itself. Also, please consider adding content to existing articles if they are already related (e.g. genome and genetic makeup) rather than writing a one sentence article, which is unlikely to be expanded. If you do write a short article, which is likely to be expanded, please note it as a stub article, by including the message {{msg:stub}} at the end of the article. Thanks. --Lexor|Talk 00:58, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Did you just invent this "spliceome" term? Stewart Adcock 22:51, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Actually I have heard it (but it should be spelled spliceosome) used in bioinformatics, it gets Google hits if it's correctly spelled [1]. It perhaps doesn't warrant a complete article to itself, however. --Lexor|Talk 23:01, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, I have to correct myself. The spliceosome is the the actual molecule that does the splicing, but the spliceome is the set of all alternative splices. I suggest that spliceome redirect to spliceosome, and incorporate that material into a new section in spliceosome. --Lexor|Talk 23:37, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Great that you learn something! Cheers, Dan. --Dan 19:11, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Could you hold off on pages like 'Ashley Bolser' please? Thanks, Mark Richards 18:16, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Hi there - I was communicating - let me know if I deleted something in error, and I'll put it back if there was useful content, Yours, Mark Richards 18:20, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

• • I suggest you use subpages to create promotional pages for your friends and family as the ones you made are likely to be deleted, since they don't comply with WikiPedia's policy. Subpages can be made simply by linking like this [[User:Dmb000006/Page_name]]. You could also point them to theFAQ.

Sincerely, MGM 18:30, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry guys, you can probaly tell I am a newbie. I was creating a page for my brother (the Ashley Bolser) which was just to give him some fun and let him see what wiki is all about. Thanks for being patient with me. --Dan 19:11, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

No worries - just let someone know if you want to do something like that, and we can advise a way to do it that will no get deleted. Have fun! Mark Richards 19:25, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ashley Bolser & Wikipedia:Speedy deletions

Hi. I copied the following from Wikipedia:Speedy deletions. -- Chris 73 | Talk 08:19, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

Copy from Wikipedia:Speedy deletions

• I made a demonstration page for my brother who is an expert in Direct Marketing. I sent him the link, and added a link to 'his' page Ashley Bolser to give him an idea of what wikki is. Pleas don't delete these pages, as he will add appropriate content. (p.s. If it makes a difference he is currently the only Ashley Bolser in the world! --Dan 18:11, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
  • What's going on? I am not being given a fair trial!
    • May I suggest you make the page under your user page, e.g. User:Dmb000006/Ashley Bolser. The articles in the main space are not to be used for personal messages, so the deletion of "A man, A plan, A canal, Ashley Bolser!" was justified. -- Chris 73 | Talk 00:03, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Scilebrity

What programme was the word used on? Mgm|^(talk) 21:32, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC) Thanks for the quick reply. I'll pass the info about Scilebrity on the people on VfD .

In your preferences (see the top bar in the monobook skin), there is an option "your nickname (for signatures)". I put the following code in there: [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|^{[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|(talk)]]} which results in my current signature.

Hope that helps. Mgm|^(talk) 18:59, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

Don't sweat it. I'm sure I copied from someone else. :) Please note, I changed the code above, something seems to be screwed up with my sig lately. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 08:24, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

The new Mediawiki software adds the extra coding to your signature, remove it from your preferences ([[User:Name| and the closing ]]) and you're all set. Mgm|^{(talk) 08:43, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)}

[edit] Spell Checker Poem

FYI, you should probably cite the source of the spell checker poem, which was originally written by Jerrold H. Zar. http://www.bios.niu.edu/zar/poem.pdf --Alan Au 18:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] amino acids image

Dmb, I had a thought about your Image:Amino Acid Property Venn Diagram.png. If you want to work on it some more, I'd suggest that you check out the Venn diagram at Psychoactive drug, written by User:Thoric - he's made an absolutely incredible diagram for classifying drugs. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 19:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiventory link on Ontology...

WWikiventory is NOT a Wikimedia foundation project. It's an indepdent effort...

In relation to where it does run...- It's on an indepdent server,

if you want to know in more tech detail ask robchurch. ShakespeareFan00 15:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Funktopian freedom flag.jpg

The image was deleted because of licensing, deleted images cannot be retrieved. This occurred on 29th December 2005, it had been tagged as lacking a source since 19th March 2005. --pgk^(talk) 14:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

You are right the text of the discussion did make the license status clear: "The licence of this image has yet to be worked out by Lenny and Dan (essentially Dan stole this image without permission). Hopefully Lenny will find time to read this... and make some kind of decision about licensing... " --pgk^(talk) 15:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
