Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on 2022 in science requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

- An article you recently created, 2022 in science, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "
Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 04:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)- Instead of spamming your page with like a bunch of these [sd notes], I'm just going to let you know now that I'm going to also nominate years 2032 to 2050.

"Hemolithin" - History section
editDear Dr Bogdan, The Hemolithin wiki article would benefit from a History of the research - this might encourage more serious scientific discussion.

Hello sir. I currently have no idea of how to direct message you, however, I need to inquire an old and seemingly obsolete question in some eyes, what exactly is the so called "Higgs Boson"? I've done research on it and have found long and similarly vague answers from all sorts of sources, and I've found that you of all people may be able to help me, seeing as you're qualified for alot of things, may you explain it in a way of simple manner to me? I've asked all sorts of people and they've only produced vague and bad awnsers to me, so now I'm putting my hope in a stranger online SCP 1174 (talk) 06:33, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @SCP 1174: - Thank you for your comments - seems the best answer to this is on the "Higgs boson" Wikipedia article itself - however - a simpler version may be found on the "Simple Wikipedia" at the following link => "simple:Higgs boson" - hope this helps in some way - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !!

Hello. In the article LUCA, it is stated that "Studies from 2000–2018 have suggested an increasingly ancient time for LUCA. In 2000, estimations suggested LUCA existed 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago in the Paleoarchean era,[7][8] a few hundred million years before the earliest fossil evidence of life (…). A 2018 study from the University of Bristol, applying a molecular clock model, places the LUCA shortly after 4.5 billion years ago, within the Hadean.[16][17]" I propose to add the information to the paragraph about LUCA in the section "Earliest life forms", I feel the update would be accurate. Thank you in advance. Have a nice day! --Jojnee (talk) 11:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Jojnee: Thank you for your comments - and recommended edit re LUCA - yes - agreed - seems the proposed edit would be ok - no problem whatsoever - Thanks again for your comments and all - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 14:14, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
PS. I apologise to bother you once again. Recently, I've edited the article Retroposon, I put a (wiki)link to "retropseudogenes" (processed pseudogenes) to make it more clear for readers. Because there seems to be no consensus regarding the proper terminology (e.g., some authors tend to use the words "retrogene" and "retropseudogene" interchangeably), I decided to use a term commonly employed by scientists—"retro(pseudo)genes". Since you're a scientist as well as an experienced Wikipedia user and pending changes reviewer, could I ask you to review the edit? Especially, I mean the way I added a link to the other article, I tried my best to do it properly, but is it OK with the WP standards? Thank you very much in advance! Cheers, --Jojnee (talk) 16:10, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Jojnee: Thanks for your comments - and suggested review - at first glance, and afaik atm, the edit re wikicode may be ok - however - there may be no mention of "retropseudogene" or "retro(pseudo)genes" in the cited reference - perhaps the language in the cited ref should be used? - iac - hope this helps in some way - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 17:38, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. Yes, I understand. Perhaps a good solution will be to cite in refs the book that I read. It states: Retro(pseudo)genes are products of reverse transcription of a spliced (mature) mRNA. (…) Retro(pseudo)genes like other retrotransposons have been inserted into the genome as double-stranded sequence generated from a single-stranded RNA. Processed pseudogenes, as sometimes retropseudogenes are called, have been generated (…) However, not all retroposed messages have to end up as pseudogenes. (p. 166). I planned to add it, but had some troubles while trying to prepare a proper citation format. --Jojnee (talk) 18:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for the recent edit. I wonder if it would be better to replace "the universal common ancestor" with a simple "the LUCA" in the second sentence (the one regarding a 2018 study). It is a small thing, but perhaps would save some space. Kind regards, --Jojnee (talk) 16:10, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I found a CCR5 antagonist in May that showed promise for treating COVID-19 and have been following its progress. Last week the company announced that its phase 2 mild/moderate trial had achieved statistical significance for one of its endpoints and submitted an EUA based on those results and it's April phase 2b/3 severe/critcal trial that is underway. I noticed that it wasn't on the COVID-19 drug development page so I created an account and proposed text for it on the talk page. The edit was denied so I revised the entry, explained a bit about different classes of monoclonal antibodies and provided more background information. It is entirely possible that I am misunderstanding this biologic's significance for treating C19. It is also possible that I am misunderstanding the standards for inclusion on the page, but the feedback I received didn't communicate that in a way that I understood and the reasons provided for refusal seemed inaccurate. I was hoping that you would take a look at the discussion at Talk:COVID-19 drug development. If you choose to share any thoughts about the discussion or how I can improve in my research I would be grateful. --TwoCandlesInTheDark (talk) 02:42, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

"LocationOfEarth" - Kudos for your template
editDear Dr. Dennis Bogdan:
Would it please be possible for you to add left-right scrolling to the otherwise excellent "LocationOfEarth" template? I'm appealing to you, since you seem to have made the most extensive, recent formatting changes.
The "LocationOfEarth" template shows too wide for some screens. It needs a left-right scrollbar in those cases where it exceeds 100% of the available window width.
Being over-confident and adventuresome, I have tried and failed to use the "wide template", "scrolling", and "scrollable" templates, to add scrolling, and changing the "style" directive inside the template; I have failed. While I might aspire to be an emerging master editor of "math" notation (my own field), this job would appear to need a more masterful editor.
The only template that appears as if I could make it work is the "scrolling table" template, but that would require a conversion of the entire template into table format, rather than a minor tweak of its as-is formatting. That is more drastic than I'm comfortable with; it usually gets me in trouble. Could you please help?
Regards from Oregon/

- @Astro-Tom-ical: Hello Tom - Thank you *very much* for your comments, kudos and request - they're all appreciated - my "LocationOfEarth" template was made with very basic skills and informations - some of my own earlier related template testing could be found here => "User:Drbogdan/sandbox-timelines-01" - and especially here => "User:Drbogdan/sandbox-timelines-01#Earth series" - I'm unable at this time to do more advanced template coding, including scrolling - however - several suggestions - you may like to experiment with this further yourself (perhaps in the "Template:LocationOfEarth/sandbox") - or - make a completely new and different template (similar, but this time with scrolling) - or - you may ask for advanced template help with this at "Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)" - I would think the advanced template coders there would be more than happy to help you with your template ideas - hope this helps in some way - Thanks again for your comments and all - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Dennis - Drbogdan (talk) 13:43, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@Astro-Tom-ical: and others - Brief Followup - Seems the "Template:LocationOfEarth" itself may not continue to be available in article space for one reason or another (see here, here and, to some extent, here) - however - the underlying template source code may still be useful in some way - if interested, the underlying template source code is as follows:

Hi. Given this announcement[2] and new paper[1] ("Which stars can see Earth as a transiting exoplanet?"), it would be great to have an article on the 1,004 stars within 326 light-years that can spot Earth based on line of sight. Not sure what it would be called, however. Viriditas (talk) 07:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: Good to hear from you - thank you for your comment - and suggestion - yes - saw the news[1][2][3][4][5] recently also - creating a related article seems like a good idea to me as well - possible article titles (for starters): "Earth as transiting exoplanet"; "Earth transiting Sun"; "Exoplanet Earth"; "Detecting Earth from distant stars" (current favorite); others? - in any case - Thanks again for your post - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 13:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: Brief followup - decided to start the article as "Detecting Earth from distant stars", afterwards renamed to "Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems", (made "redirects" of the other suggested titles above at the moment) - can always change the article title later - hope this is *entirely* ok - Comments (and new article editing) Welcome of course - iac - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 15:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Might want to start User:Drbogdan/Earth Transit Zone. I think that's the best subject title at this time. Viriditas (talk) 20:12, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Nomination for AfD
editNomination of Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:02, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Wow! Gone are the days when an editor could create a new article and work on it for a few minutes before being nominated for deletion. Drbogdan, I think the article can be kept, but given the obsessive paper pushers and bean counters that worship administrative rules and procedures, it would be more fruitful to move it to your user space where we can refine it first. Viriditas (talk) 19:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
@Viriditas and Prototyperspective: - Thanks for all your comments - and suggestions - related discussion at => "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems" - copies of the original article are now at => "User:Drbogdan/Earth Transit Zone" - And => "Draft:Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems" - And => "User:Drbogdan/sandbox-DetectingEarthAsExoplanet" - one of these may be a copy we can further expand I would think - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 21:04, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Done - NOTE: re Article for Deletion (AfD) discussion => "The result was KEEP". (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 09:41, 1 November 2020 (UTC) - added by Drbogdan (talk) 17:32, 15 November 2020 (UTC) - Stay Safe and Healthy !!

"Post-1932 politics" notice
editThis is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
