Enteros, Inc

Hello Edgar,

I want to edit and republish Enteros article. Please let me know how can I do that. I will send you the article with fresh links of PR releases on reputed Newpapers.

Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Saeed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saeed5443 (talkcontribs) 07:49, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

I deleted the article about Enteros titled User:Saeed5443 because it was highly promotional in nature. If you wish to create an encyclopedia article about Enteros please read Wikipedia's guidelines for notability first (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), to see if it qualifies. I suggest that you take a look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines as well, which seem to apply here. Content based only on "PR releases" will be insufficient to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines and will likely be too promotional as well. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:48, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello Edgar,

Would you please help me what can or should I do or include in the article to qualify and publish the article on wikipedia. I have read all the instructions but it comply with all the requirements.

Your cooperation will be appreciated.

Saeed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saeed5443 (talkcontribs) 12:56, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the subject, so I can't be of much help with the content. The procedure at Wikipedia:Articles for creation is a good way for new editors to get assistance in creating a new Wikipedia article, so I would recommend that you take a look at that. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:10, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello sir

That IP address is covered by the recent one month rangeblock of 1.10.217.0/24 (all IPs starting with 1.10.217), so it is currently blocked already. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:23, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Tetralone

Thank you again for help with the tetralone business. Since there were few links to tetralone, I figured it was easiest to simply cut and paste from "tetralone" to "1-tetralone" vs requesting an admin-supported move. I thought that I had caught all of the links that were supposed to go to 1- vs 2- isomers. It looks like now that things are ok for the four affected titles: tetralone, tetralones, 1-Tetralone, and 2-Tetralone and the associated Talk pages. Turns out that CAS has about 1000+ hits for the 2-isomer but I couldn't figure out what the stuff is good for, except as a model substrate. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:11, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm happy to help out. Although it's generally easier to do, a cut-and-paste move is generally not permitted because Wikipedia's copyright license requires acknowledgement of all contributors - and that contribution history is lost in the cut-and-paste. As for 2-tetralone, I'm not sure what it is used for either. I have used derivatives of 2-tetralone to make pharmaceutically interesting compounds such as 2-Aminotetralin#Chemical derivatives, but I don't recall ever seeing the unsubstituted 2-tetralone used in med chem. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:17, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, I keep forgetting about the History that does not migrate with the cut and paste. I'll try not to do that again. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:57, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Starting a slow, thorough, major revision of the Organic Chemistry article

I wanted to call your attention to it, so you might be aware, as an editor/admin that has acted there. I have placed Talk section notes for the past year or two, without any response or comment.

I will nevertheless proceed slowly, and using only the best sources. (I am a professional medicinal/org chemist with doctoral level training, and both industry and academic professional experience.)

Let me know of any concerns. I wish to make progress, but at first sign of edit warring, I will depart the article, for good. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 14:50, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I have found that slow changes are the best way to get things done here, so that is a good approach to take. If you need any assistance, please let me know. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:15, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Confused about your edits and changes regarding Carbofuran's endocrine disrupting effects

Hello there,


I see that you have made some changes to my contribution regarding Carbofuran's endocrine disrupting effects. First you replaced my term "powerful endocrine disruptore" with "potential endocrine disruptor". While this may be technically correct, I think that it is not factually correct. Of course, in all scientific studies most results are deemed "potential" until they have been proven many times in many experiments over the years so that there is no room for any doubt as to their veracity and applicability to a specific situation. However, in this particular case, the alterations in the hormones that are mentioned are quite significant (please take a look again at the numbers in the study), so I don't think that the term "powerful endocrine disruptor" is inappropriate in this case. Let's not resort to nitpicking when there is ample evidence that this particular substance is a genuinely strong endocrine disruptor.


But even more puzzling is your removal of this particular sentence that I copied directly from the referenced scientific study:

"These alterations may consequently lead to serious reproductive problems following repeated exposure."

In the description (or explanation) text for this particular edit you wrote: "moved content that is not human-specific out of the "Toxicity to humans" section".

However, this particular sentence (or content, if you wish) was not moved - it was deleted. It does not exist in the public version of the article about Carbofuran anymore. Furthermore, the section in which I originally posted this sentence is not the "Toxicity to humans" section, but rather the "Toxicity to vertebrates" section. Rats are vertebrates, aren't they? So, I really wonder why you thought that that sentence needed to be removed?

In the original study, the conclusion "These alterations may consequently lead to serious reproductive problems following repeated exposure." most definitely applies to rats, which are vertebrates. So, in my view, there is absolutely no reason for the deletion of this sentence. I will put it back again, and if you disagree with this decision, please state your reason(s) clearly.


Cheers!

As I was reorganizing and improving the content of Carbofuran, if some of what I did wasn't adequately captured in the edit summaries, that is more due to the limitations on permitted edit summary length than anything else. In the rat study that authors state "acute exposure to carbofuran may cause transient endocrine disruption". This is more accurately reflected in the phrasing "potential endocrine disruptor" than in your phrase "powerful endocrine disruptor". In any case, this kind of issue is best discussed on the article's talk page (Talk:Carbofuran) where other editors interested in the article can see it and contribute to it. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:56, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Deleted Walker Films - ASL's WIKIPEDIA

Hello,

My name is John Smith. I don't understand why somebody who have wiki and deleted Walker Films - ASL four times. I need to know why somebody keep on to deletes Walker Films - ASL's WIKI. Walker Films - ASL have history in the past and real life! Please inform and explain us why did they deleted this deaf company! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.29.85.6 (talk) 12:28, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

The article Walker Films - ASL has been deleted twice, not four times (if you are talking about a different title, please let me know the exact title you are referring to.) I deleted the version of March 29, 2014 because it had been blanked by the sole contributor and therefore met speedy deletion criteria WP:CSD#G7 ("If the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page or category page, this can be taken as a deletion request"). If you have questions about the second deletion you can contact the administrator who performed that deletion, Kelapstick. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:02, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
The IP is probably referring to the article on the owner/founder of the company Rydrea Walker, which was speedily deleted twice--once per A7 and once per G12. Kelapstick has already addressed this on his page. --Finngall talk 20:17, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi

Hello - I was considering writing a page for the Bassist, "Paul Geary (Bassist)" - which apparently existed, but was removed in 2009 due to a copyright issue due to reference to a company called, "Rotosound".

- Does the original page still exist - I believe it has now been deleted? - Do we have any material from the original page - which I could perhaps rework to avoid the copyright issue?

Many Thanks - Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mclark100 (talkcontribs) 13:47, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

I deleted Paul Geary (Bassist) back in 2009 because the text was copied from a copyrighted website, rotosound.com. Wikipedia does not permit such use of copyrighted text. I have emailed you a copy of the deleted text so that you can have a look at it and see if it is helpful in writing a new biography. Just keep in mind that you will need to write the new article in your own words. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:55, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, and important ongoing discussion

Edgar, posted once earlier regarding anticipated OChem edits (see above). (And see my User page, hidden though it is—un-gray by clicking on Edit tab—to see who hails you again. Concerning the future direction of the Natural Products article, in a current sorry state, and avoided for its current structure and constraints, see [1]. Perhaps you have a view to express. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 18:30, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. There is quite a bit to digest at Talk:Natural_product, and to be honest, I'm not sure that I have the inclination to get too involved in rewriting the article. From what I have seen, both you and Boghog are well qualified and will produce a much better article (even if no other wikichemists get involved) than its current state. However, if you (or others) have specific questions that you would like my input on, please feel free to let me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Enquiry about removal of my page

Page moves

Check Special:Log/OccultZone, my recent page moves. I think my list has many pages that would require such page moves. Am I doing it correctly? OccultZone (Talk) 13:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Moves like Terry Board (footballer born 1968) to Terry Board (footballer) look like a good idea to me because the "born 1968" part is extraneous. But for moving Arthur Lynch (American football) to Arthur Lynch (footballer), I'm not so sure. People can get fussy about how to refer to football/soccer/American football. I'd make sure there is consensus for that type of move first. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:38, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. You see, I like to have credit :-) There should be ultimate consensus I guess. Please tell me which noticeboard or talk page I should discuss this? OccultZone (Talk) 13:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requested moves is probably the best place. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Indonesian vandal strikes again.

Sorry. Long time, no write. I have to report this address to you because, I've just the discovered that the notorious Indonesian Anime/Film Studio vandal has resurfaced and is now using the address 118.137.149.40 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) for three times in the last 30 days. Can you block this address for a long time? Again, he's a problem for at least less than one month, but I've just discovered that he's active again through a recent revision of his vandalism. Same kinds of articles, BTW (including that of Maleficent). Thanks in advance! - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 01:01, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

I tried to build a company page, just like many other companies within my specific industry and the user was blocked by yourself and deleted. I realise, I should have written the page as an article, opposed to a user, however, I spent a while on it and would appreciate being able to copy the source code so I can do it correctly this time. Any ideas on how I can do that? Really would appreciate any input. Thanks James — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.27.174.25 (talk) 15:48, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Company page

Hi Edgar,

I tried to build a company page ( as I explained before), just like many other companies within my specific industry and the user was blocked by yourself and deleted. I realise, I should have written the page as an article, opposed to a user, I have changed username as instructed and written a better article. Can you please reinstate my username and I will take off the content I put first time? Secondly how can I do an article about my company as an article without being considered spam or promotional material? How do I write the page as an article without having the username showing at the top? If it is not possible to reinstate my username can it please be completely removed as it is still shows up on google? Sorry for the mess :)) Regards, Rod — Preceding unsigned comment added by CasinoLive (talkcontribs) 09:07, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't know which deleted page or which blocked username you are referring to. Can you specify please? In general, is not appropriate to write about a company you are affiliated with. See Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines for details. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:17, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

A little while back you blocked User:2601:c:b80:2cd:30c2:bf16:d044:f39d with a reason of LTA for problems at Animaniacs and related articles. I'm not sure who the user is and they have been back a few times. If it's LTA, it seems like I should take it to somewhere other than WP:AIV - WP:SPI I guess? What's the right course of action here? hbent (talk) 20:06, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know, the behavior of this individual isn't documented anywhere, but I'm sure I have blocked a few IPs. Just reporting at WP:AIV with a brief explanation that it is a recurring problem is probably the best thing to do. It looks like User:2601:C:B80:307:30C2:BF16:D044:F39D is his current IP, but looking at some recent edits, I don't see any obvious vandalism (though I don't know that these topics, so I might be missing something). -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:13, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Systemin

Your structural formula for tomato systemin (S. lycopersicum) as posted on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemin is at odds with published precursor sequences for this peptide (e.g., see C. A. Ryan and G. Pearce. "Systemins: A functinally defined family of peptide signals that regulated defensive genes in Solanacease species." Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 100 (suppl. 2):14577-80 (2003)and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/AAA34182, the GenBank prosystemin protein sequence.)

The peptide sequence predicted from the published precursor sequence is AVQSKPPSKRDPPKMQTD but the structural drawing posted on Wikipedia indicates that this systemin sequence is split into two peptides and that the two peptides are covalently joined by an unusual anhydride bond formed between the carboxyl ends of the peptides as shown below:

AVQSKPPSKRDPP-c=o

             |
             o
             |
       KMQTD-c=o   

Although processing of systemin precursors is discussed on the Wikipedia page, no mention is made of this unusual bond formation between these two peptide sequences of systemin.

Either some key reference information is missing from this Wikipedia page to document this anhydride linkage, or the structure was incorrectly drawn by inverting the last 5 amino acids residues and incorrectly attaching the C-termini by the anhydride bond.

The amino acid sequence of the systemin precursor would predict that the upper peptide sequence is joined to the N-teruminus of the K (Lys) residue of the second peptide sequence to form a continuous polypeptide of ending in the D (Asp) residue of the lower peptide above to conform to the gene sequence - i.e., AVQSKPPSKRDPPKMQTD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.111.227.138 (talk) 16:38, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't recall where I obtained the structure information for the image, but I probably got it from PubChem (CID 25078152 from PubChem) because the structure is the same there. However, based on your comments, that structure does seem dubious to me now. I'll take a closer look and try to sort it out shortly. I will replace the image with a corrected one if needed. Thank you for noticing the problem and letting me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:11, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
I have created a new image, File:systemin.svg, and replaced the old one in the article. The new image is based on the structure at ChemSpider and seems to match the sequence you note above, and also matches info given on the webpages of several commercial sources. Can you please double check and see if it looks correct to you now? Thanks. -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:30, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Ok, The the revised structure does conform to the published sequences and what little I know about tomato systemins.

Allulose / Psicose

Edgar181,

Curious why you deleted allulose page and redirected back to psicose.

Matsutani has started to market allulose in the US (see allulosezerocalorie.com) using the allulose name, rather than psicose.

http://isrs.kagawa-u.ac.jp/image/AlluloseNAME-2.pdf

I would think it would be useful for consumers to see the name of the product as it will likely be labelled on wikipedia - rather than the name psicose - which is the name of a Hitchcock movie in Brazil.

There should only be one article for any one topic, so there should only be one article for psicose/allulose. The article will be titled using one synonym, and the other synonym should be a redirect. So which title is appropriate, psicose or allulose? Wikipedia's policy is to use the more common name. In this case psicose is a much more common name in English than allulose (by a very wide margin based on the number of Google hits). Anyone searching for the term "allulose" will be automatically redirected to the article on that subject, so readers will have no trouble finding the article regardless of which synonym they use. If you disagree with me about the appropriate title, the way to request a name change and get input from other editors is described at Wikipedia:Requested moves. I hope this helps.

Tyvm!

Thank you very much for your deletion of Template:Editnotices/Page/Talk:List of One Piece chapters earlier! Joys! – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 20:42, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm glad to help. -- Ed (Edgar181)

Your edits to Ferrous tartrate

Thanks for your work on Ferrous tartrate. However, you removed the boiling point, vapour pressure and flash point. Could you explain why you did this?--Auric talk 12:34, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

It is common for various online chemical databases to include "calculated" or "estimated" values for these types of data. The algorithms used to generate them are notoriously inaccurate. In this case, the values that I removed are highly improbable and have a dubious level of precision. If you can find a reference for experimentally determined values, please feel free to add those.

thank you sir

Thank you for blocking JuvodHR (talk · contribs). I didn't took notes of the correlation between the username and the article created by the user. I would have left a better advice on his talk page. Wikicology (talk) 20:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, and thanks for creating the article in the first place. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:20, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Ave

Hello. I want to open a sock-puppet investigation case for an user. Can you help me? 149.140.40.10 (talk) 12:53, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do what I can. At Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations, there is a section titled "How to open an investigation". You can fill out the form that follows the statement "If you are an anonymous (IP address) editor..." If you have specific questions about the process, just let me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:10, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
I have opened but i cannot see it on the page. Can you help please. 149.140.40.10 (talk) 13:35, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
The page is currently at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wikisupporting. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:38, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your help Edgar. And can you look at this attempt? Zazaki language is linguistically separate from Kurdish, their ethnicity is disputed just like other groups such as Gorani, Shabak and Yazidi peoples but Kurdish nationalists "strictly" claim that they are Kurdish and deleted, dismissed other additions. These nationalists are not here to contribute, they just push their own agenda and make nationalist propaganda. It is simply WP:ISNOT. Regards...149.140.40.10 (talk) 14:13, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't know much about that, so I don't think I can help much. You can have a look at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for some guidance. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:36, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
OK, I am going to look at it. But I don't think that these POV-warriors participate. Because they even do not use the talk page of article. 149.140.40.10 (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi! You speedy-deleted Tobermore Ltd as G11/G12. I wondered if you were aware that it had been re-created, and that it was once again a promotional copyvio from the company's website? It's been worked on a bit since then, so I'm not sure if those criteria still apply – hence this message. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:21, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. It might have met criteria for speedy deletion (G11) in the promotional form that it was recreated, but with the work other editors have done I think it is OK in that respect now. It still might not meet notability criteria, but that would need to be decided by discussion at AFD. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 10:54, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Help

How are you doin Edgar181? I need your help as a member of the wikipedia medicine project. I want to give more attentions to genes. More specifically other animal genes such as Ave( chicken)etc. Great work has been done on the human genes thou yet to be completed. I reali want to work on them sir. But to my suprise, the template { {PBB|geneid=Id} } that automatically link the genes profile from the Gene bank doesn't work for animals other than humans and the other human gene that as not been completed. I thought the template is universal and applicable to all genes. Please I want you to explain why the situation is like that and more importantly I want you to put me through on it sir. Cheers.Wikicology (talk) 17:25, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

I think considering including non-human gene data is a reasonable one. I'm not familiar with what type of data is currently available in public online databases, so I'm not sure if there is an appropriate link that can be made from the template {{PBB}}. You might consider starting a discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Genetics or discuss your suggestion with the editors that maintain User:ProteinBoxBot (they are listed at the top of that user page). I hope this helps. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 23:23, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
thank you sir. Wikicology (talk) 23:33, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
When we first started the Gene Wiki project and the User:ProteinBoxBot, I was thinking it was a no-brainer to create a Wikipedia page for every human gene. But to my surprise, there were a significant percentage of editors who felt that not every human gene was inherently notable. In the end, we settled on auto-creation of ~10k gene pages, sorted by the number of linked publications in PubMed. So based on that experience, I think it's unlikely that there will be broad community support for creating an article for every mouse/fly/rat gene. Having said that, I think it is very likely that we can create a Wikidata item for every gene in every organism. If you're interested in following that effort, I suggest you ask around at Wikidata:WikiProject Molecular biology. We even did some prototyping with human and mouse genes last summer.

Attention

How are you doing my distinguish admin. Edgar181? Sir see This revert to unsourced Autobiography of an unremarkable person, which differs from this notable person. Your opinion and decision will be helpful. Cheers Wikicology (talk) 23:33, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

I think removal of the speedy deletion tag from that page was fine. I see that you have nominated the article for deletion, which is the right course of action in my opinion. -- Ed (Edgar181) 00:46, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
