Unspecified source for Image:Pharmacia deluxe.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pharmacia deluxe.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 02:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, Roadnottaken!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• Wikipedia:Five pillars
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: Dr. Cash 17:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC).

Lipid Signaling

You added some good new material to Lipid signaling but also [1] blanked out a bunch of fair material. Was this by accident? By the way, your edits there are not minor. David.Throop 04:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• no it was not by accident, but i did not get a chance to finish the edit (is there a way to save a draft?). i'm taking most of the DAG/IP3 stuff out as it is thoroughly covered elsewhere and, personally, i think intercellular signaling molecules with dedicated GPCRs fit the definition of lipid signaling better. do you agree? Roadnottaken 15:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Lipd signals and endocannibinoids

When I'm doing a major rework of a page, I create a sandbox. Then I can save every 100 keystrokes or so and not worry about cluttering up the history page of the article.

I restored the material you'd removed. If you think that something is better covered elsewhere, move it to the Talk: page. That gives the author a chance to weigh in. Even if it's better covered elsewhere, you should leave a couple of sentences as a summary, with a See detail at... linkage.

If you are removing more than a few keystrokes of somebody else's work, it is not a Minor Edit. Don't check the 'Minor Edit' box.

I'm still not clear just how the term 'lipid signalling' is used in the field, so I don't have an informed opinion about DAG/IP3.

Great to have an endocannibinoid resource around! Maybe you can explain something to me. In the eicosanoids, the biggest news of the last 20 years is that omega-3 EPA leads to families of eicosanoids that mitigate the activities (particularly the inflammatory activity) of the Arachidonic Acid derived eicosanoids. There's a tremendous amount of interest in the differential effect the AA-derived vs the EPA-derived eicosanoids. This interest extends out into the popular press.

In the endocannibinoids, EPA (and DHA?) form anandimide analogues. Do they modulate anandimide signaling in a way similar to the way the EPA-derivatives modulate the COX and 5-LO pathways? When I eat salmon, am I shaking up my CB1 / CB2 pathways? I've gone hunting for research articles on this and I'm find almost nothing. I'd think that this would be one of the most urgent questions in endocannibinoid research. Am I missing something? David.Throop 20:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, btw, thanks for the cool picture for lipid signalling. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by David.Throop (talk • contribs) 20:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

N-docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide is present in mouse-brain (at levels similar to anandamide) and i imagine any fatty acids from your diet would eventually work their way in to N-acylethanolamines at some concentration. that being said they are almost certainly less potent agonists of CB receptors than AEA. additionally, the biosynthetic pathways for AEA have not yet been thoroughly worked-out so the REGULATED production of these signaling lipids may turn out to be specific for AA. maybe not. in any event, you need to elevate the concentration of AEA quite a bit (by inhibiting FAAH) before you start seeing overt behavioral effects in mice (altho there are probably subtle phenotypes that we can't see in mice)... anyway my opinion is that all PUFA NAE derivates activate CB receptors at some level and that your diet probably does affect the distribution of PUFAs available for conversion to NAEs, but that the biosynthesis and degradation are probably tightly regulated such that you can't screw-up endocannabinoid signaling by changing your diet. i'll try to find some references supporting this view, but it's pretty unsubstantiated. to really do the experiment you'd have to feed animals high levels of 13C labled PUFAs which are very expensive. Roadnottaken 16:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Visual Signaling

Sounds good – go ahead and create the article. I encourage you to build the article in your sandbox until you've got it up to 'first release' standard. Be bold.

But do make a thorough search first. I've started several articles only to realize later that I'd duplicated something already extant. Trick is to use the Search box on several cominations of likely keywords, and use the 'What links here' on some related articles. David.Throop 05:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Myriocin

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! --Mel Etitis (Talk) 10:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week

WikiProject Pharmacology is currently organizing a new Collaboration of the Week program, designed to bring drug and medication related articles up to featured status. We're currently soliciting nominations and/or voting on nominations for the first WP:RxCOTW, to begin on September 5, 2007. Please stop by the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week page to participate! Thanks! Dr. Cash 17:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week

Aspirin has been selected as this week's Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week! Please help us bring this article up to featured standards during the week. The goal is to nominate this at WP:FAC on September 10, 2007.

Also, please visitWP:RxCOTW to support other articles for the next COTW. Articles that have been nominated thus far include Doxorubicin, Paracetamol (in the lead with 4 support votes so far), Muscle relaxant, Ethanol, and Bufotenin.

In other news:

• Bupropion has been promoted to featured status on August 31, 2007.

• The Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology main page has been updated and overhauled, to make it easier to find things, as well as to highlight other goals and announcements for the project.

• Garrondo is asking for individuals to help review Therapies for multiple sclerosis, as he is considering nominating this article for GA status.

• Fvasconcellos notes that discussion is ongoing regarding the current wording of MEDMOS on including dosage information in drug articles. All input is welcome.

Dr. Cash 00:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Pharmacology Update

Here's a brief update in some of the recent developments of WikiProject Pharmacology!

• Aspirin has just completed its two week run as the first Collaboration of the Week! Many thanks to those editors that contributed; the article got a lot of good work accomplished, and in particular, much work was done in fixing up the history section. It's still not quite "done" yet (is a wikipedia article really ever done?), but after two weeks I think it's more important to push onwards with the development of the new collaboration of the week program. I will be fixing up Aspirin in the next few days and possibly nominating it for either GA or FA status.

• Muscle relaxant has been selected as the new Collaboration of the week until October 2, 2007! This article is currently rated as a "stub", so it's got quite a bit of work cut out for collaborators! Admittedly, featured status could be a long way off,... but still attainable! At the least, maybe we could at least get it up to meeting the Good article criteria? Please stop by the article and help improve it.

• Resveratrol, having recently achieved GA status on August 16, 2007, is now making a run for featured status. This is quite a fascinating compound. If you can, please stop by its discussion page and leave comments in support of it.

• Please remember that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing or dispensing medical advice amongst users. Specifically, talk pages of articles should only be used to discuss improving the actual article in question. To help alleviate this situation, the template {{talkheader}} may be added to the top of talk pages, reminding users of the purpose of such pages. Additionally, unsigned comments and comments by anonymous users that are inappropriate may be removed from talk pages without being considered vandalism.

• There was an interesting article on ZDNet last week about Hewlett Packard licensing its patented microneedle technology used in common inkjet printers to be used in transdermal patches to deliver a time-controlled release of drugs to patients. This information could be added to articles such as route of administration or drug delivery.

Review of edits

Hello. I recently looked at the 6-hydroxydopamine article and found that the chembox you added to the page in July 2007 was likely a cut'n'paste from another article. You did not however change any of the chemical values leading to some very incorrect information within the chembox on the article's page (SMILES, chemical formula, pubchem link, etc). I fixed the values on that article. I have not reviewed any other chemical pages you may have modified in that time frame but if you are aware of any other articles where you pasted a chembox in recent months, you may want to review your edits to determine if there are other pages with incorrect information. Thanks. ju66l3r 17:05, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Pharmacology Update

Here are a few updates in the realm of WikiProject Pharmacology:

• The Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week has been changed to Collaboration of the Month, based on current participation levels. It is also more likely that articles collaborated on for one month are more likely to achieve featured quality than articles worked on for only a week or two.

• The current Collaboration of the Month for November is Receptor antagonist. Please take a look at that article and contribute to it if you get a chance. Ideally, the article should adhere to the featured article criteria.

• Therapies for multiple sclerosis is currently a featured article candidate. If you are familiar with the featured article criteria, please visit WP:FAC and review the article.

• Anabolic steroid is the wikiproject's newest Featured Article, having been promoted on October 8, 2007.

• Theobromine was delisted as a Good Article. The Peer review and GA reassessment discussions provide suggestions on improvement. Muscle relaxant was recently reviewed for Good Article status, but not promoted. Please see the full review full review here for details.

RNA biology

Wiki articles should be like good reviews, they cite the literature and tell you everything important that has been published. Things like "X has an effect in vitro on Hela cells" is not all that important, so probably wouldn't make a review, so shouldn't be in a Wiki article. That's where I see notability trumping verifiability - it may be true, but since nobody cares we needn't tell everybody. Tim Vickers (talk) 01:42, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tilicho panoram.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Tilicho panoram.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --ARTEST4ECHO ^talk 21:31, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
