I strongly disagree with your assertion that PyMOL has "nothing to do with chemistry". It is a molecular visualisation tool and is used by chemists and biochemists for molecules of all sizes from quite small, which is my use, to large proteins. Why did you assert that? I would be interested to know before I think about reverting your last edit. --Bduke 21:44, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Ok, if you insist, revert my deletion. From my knowledge Pymol is mostly used for representation of proteins and DNA and rather seldom for other chemical components... --Splette 22:05, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I guess it is used quite a lot in the area between small molecules and proteins or DNA. I have been using it for some drugs, which clearly are chemistry. Of course it could be argued that DNA is chemistry too, but I will not go down that road. The last think we want is a disagreement between chemists and biochemists (there are quite enough wars on WP!), so if in doubt I think we should use both stubs. --Bduke 22:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Thats fine with me. I thought someone who doesn't know what he was doing put that tag there ages ago. Seems like I was wrong. - Splette 15:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Hallo Splette,
danke erstmal für deine Übersetzung von Jordanhill Railway Station. Wenn du mal wieder was übersetzt, denke bitte daran, die ursprünglichen Autoren zu würdigen (wie es die GNU-FDL vorschreibt). Ich habe das mal für dich nachgeholt, aber es wäre besser gewesen, dass bereits in der 1ten Version zu vermerken.
Falls du mir antworten möchtest, so hinterlasse mir bitte einen Kommentar auf meiner deutschsprachigen Disku, ich bin zu selten in en: --DaB.
--Splette 14:47, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
That's difficult question, but I think it comes down to does an Adobe Illustrator have copyright over figures that I make with it? Secondly, I don't think DeLano would care if we emailed them. We do cite them by linking to PyMOL if click on the image. Let me know what you think. --vossman 23:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey Splette, how is it going? Thank you for supporting my Request for adminship! It passed with a final vote of 73/1/1, which means that I have been granted adminship! I look forward to using these tools to enhance and maintain this wonderful site. I will continue regular article/project contributions, but I will also allocate a sizable portion of my wikischedule toward administrative duties :) Thanks again, and if you have any questions/comments/tips, please let me know! — Deckiller 04:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I'm not sure how to communicate with people on this. I think you got the Arp2/3 slightly wrong. I think it should say that in the barbed end branching model arp2/3 associates with the pointed end.
amulekii —Preceding unsigned comment added by amulekii (talk • contribs)
How can I talk to you? I'm trying to figure out how to nucleate some actin growth. Do I need a WASP to activate my arp2/3 if I wanted to use it to nucleate? Are there other ways to nucleate it that might not require such a two-step process? Amulekii 21:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
I guess while I'm at it, I wanted to know how I could stabilize actin. Does phalloidin do a good job? Is it toxic? Is there a cheap way to stabilize actin without phalloidin (like some peptide I could synthesize)? Thanks. Amulekii 22:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, is this where I'm supposed to talk to you? I don't really get this wikipedia thing.
Yes, I'm in Ph.D., but I had to start over after I proved to my professor that what he wanted mt to do was impossible. He wants me to make monodisperse protein-based filaments. I wanted to use actin or MTs maybe (or any other natural filament). I wanted to be able to nucleate so that I could control the number and size of the filaments (e.g. I want to be able to put in five nucleators and get five filaments.). Also, we're making the monomers in cell-free E. coli extracts so it's likely that I will have trouble achieving the concentration necessary to make the filaments without nucleators. Speaking of E. coli, do you think that would be possible? I found that formins and also artificially constructed trimers can nucleate as well. And formins might be better than arp2/3 because it appears that arp2/3 is designed for dynamic lamellapodia isntead of something more static. I think that's why it makes the 70 degree angles. One more thing, do you know if phalloidin would cause undesired nucleation of my filaments? Thanks Amulekii 04:35, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Something is wrong with the cookies on my computer, so I wasn't able to read that paper you refer to, but I'll look at it when I'm not on this computer. About controlling the length and number. Yeah. I know that's really hard. Actually I think anything even approaching a true monodispersity of length would be impossible without a template of pre-defined length, or perhaps nucleating them between two fixed caps that were a defined distance.
No x-ray structures yet? I've been looking for them. If you say they don't exist I'll search a bit more, then just believe you. What are the best models we have? I am interested in mutating the interface to try to enhance the binding (as I am working with low concentrations, and I'd rather not use phalloidin). I'd really like a model of the filament that is as good as possible. Also, Are the N and C termini exposed in F-actin? Sorry to ask you such basic questions, but I'm just starting this project, and there are still a lot of things I don't understand. I wanted to know if the termini are exposed because instead of Arp2/3 I wanted to nucleate with maybe a string of three monomers. You may already know that several years ago they were able to nucleate actin by cross-linking three monomers. I want to do something similar, which would be simply to link them (assuming the termini don't get in the way) which I imagine would siginficantly increase the likelihood of forming a trimer that could nucleate my filaments.
I can't tell if Mts are a better choice either. I'd like them because they're stronger, and I want to make stuff out of them. But my biggest challenge for now is that they both apparently need CCT to fold. Amulekii 22:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah. About my project. That's about it. I just want to make some kind of filament that can be controlled and stabilized and I want to do it using E. coli extracts. It's tough, but I guess that's good, or someone would have done it. Amulekii 22:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I looked at both those papers. They look pretty interesting. I'll file them away as they may come in handy. How do you speak English so well? Amulekii 04:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Many thanks, i'm glad that someone else realizes this. Batman2005 03:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Splette! I really like that you've included a happy face in your signature. The project really could use a little more mirth, you know? But I also seem to remember reading earlier this year (when some of these signatures got really out of hand) that it was recommended not to have images in signatures. Do you know if that's been reversed? If not, it would be perfectly appropriate on your user page, of course. :) ... aa:talk 17:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The project main page has gotten a facelift!
|
---|
When people visit the project, the very first thing that they see tends to be the project's main page, and with this in mind, the main page has been completely overhauled. To enhance readability the various "goals" sections have been merged, and a detailed "how you can help" section has been added. To increase accessibility for more established members, the links to any resources that were in the main body text have been moved onto the navigation bar on the right. Finally, the whole page has been nicely laid out and given a nice attractive look. |
New project feature: peer review
|
I'm proud to announce the addition of out newest feature: peer review! The MCB peer review feature aims serve as a stepping stone to improve articles to featured article status by allowing editors to request the opinions of other members about articles that they might not otherwise see or contribute to. |
Project progress
|
The article worklist
|
We’ve had quite a bit of progress on the worklist article in the past month. Not only has the list itself nearly doubled in size from 143 to 365 entries, but an amazing three articles have been advanced to FA status, thanks in great part to the efforts of our very own TimVickers! Remember, the state of the worklist is the closest thing we have to quantifying the progress of the project, so if you get the chance, please take a look at the list, pick a favorite article, and improve it! |
Collaboration of the Month
|
Last month's Collaboration of the Month, cell nucleus, was a terrific success! In one month, the article went from a dismal stub to an A-class article. Many thanks to all of the collaborators who contributed, especially ShaiM, who took on the greatest part of the burden. This month's Collaboration of the Month, adenosine triphosphate, isn't getting nearly the attention of its predecessor, so if you can, please lend a hand! |
Finally...
|
The project has a new coordinator, ClockworkSoul! The role - my role - of coordinator will be to harmonize the project's common efforts, in part by organizing the various tasks required to make the project run as smoothly and completely as possible. Many thanks to those who supported me and those participated in the selection process. |

Hey - wondering if you'd mind creating another image for proteasome in the same style as the existing ones, but with alpha and beta subunits colored differently? (Possibly just with the 20S particle.) I think it would be useful to illustrate how the alpha-beta-beta-alpha stack is arranged. BTW, I also commented on your diagram suggestion on Talk:Proteasome, but it was a good week or so after your post. Opabinia regalis 04:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

As a Scot with a wholly British ancestry (back at least until about 1100) can I just say how very frustrating it is to find Users like Space Cadet pushing an ultra-nationalistic line on Wikipedia. I tend to get on well with Poles until any mention of 'their' history and then the relationship dissolves. If we adopted their ridiculous yardsticks we'd have to return much of northern Scotland and the Orkney Islands to Norway - and reclaim vast chunks of the rest of the world which we once ruled. So you are not alone. Let me refer you to the following quote, taken from the 1815 Edinburgh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (vol. xvii, p.69): "With regard to the history of Poland, we are not to gather the early part of it from any accounts transmitted to us by the natives.....we must have recourse to what is recorded concerning it by the historians of other nations." Some things never change. Regards, David Lauder (talk) 20:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hallo Splette,
ich habe Quellen gefunden zu den beiden Grafiken, die dir noch ein Dorn im Auge waren. Informationen zu den Primärenergieverbräuchen findet man bei der AG-Energiebilanzen, z.B. für 2007 unter http://www.ag-energiebilanzen.de/cms/verwaltung/files.php?path=../../daten/1198152893_91.0.92.253.pdf&name=Primaerenergieverbrauch_2007a.pdf&mime=application/pdf Dort gibt es auch Zeitreihen etc. Die Europa-Sache ist etwas schwieriger. Da gibt es immer einen Bericht vom EurObser'ER, der auf Englisch und Französisch, nicht aber auf Deutsch erscheint. Das PDF zu 2007 gibt's unter http://www.energies-renouvelables.org/observ-er/stat_baro/barobilan/barobilan7.pdf . Ich würde auch mehr Änderungen selbst vornehmen, aber gerade im Statistikbereich kostet mich das als Neuling momentan noch extrem viel Zeit. Mal schauen, wozu ich diese Woche noch komme.

I don't want to get into Wikipedia fights on an article, but you can't just undo someone's edit (especially one that just brings Bias into question) solely because it's the first edit on the account. For your information (not that it should matter) that was not my first edit by a longshot. Read the article before you just delete something because you feel like someone is too new.

While I have not done the detailed enough research to actually place it in the current article or my rewrite and splitting of lit from sci I have seen anecdotal evidence in a number of sources that most people would agree are for the most part are unbiased that when asked in an anonymous manner the number of client scientests that agree with the orthodox conclusion on GW is defently less then 50% and in some cases as small as 25% (See "Crighton is *TOO* kind..." on the discussion page for on referenced citation to such a study [when I find the actual citation I will add it]).... thus "Leading" is completely inaccurate and only reflects the "consensus" when asked in a manner where the answer given is tracable to the person who made it... that is the reason why I said some... I am not ready to challange the 16 of 18 citation but when I complete that section of the sci. crit rewrite I will cite it and likelly update the current page since "leading" vs. "some" is a direct violation of NPOV... I also think that "Awards" section is also high biased for a more balanced POV see how I handle it in the lit. rewrite —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aryeh M.

I think you removed a wrong link: "Third Oil Crisis" hasn't been updated for 2 months (and is still there), whereas "peak-oil-crisis.org" has the last update less than 15 mins ago (and is removed). Regards, Xpert
Hi, Splette. You mentioned that you are interested in peak oil. I wonder if you may be interested to edit the Oil shale economics. Oil shale economics is an one of the oil shale series articles. The purpose is to bring all this series articles to the FA level (currently only the main article Oil shale has FA status and the Oil shale extraction is under FAC review). As you see, the Oil shale economics is still far away from the FA and even GA status. I think that the first target should be the GA status and the FA after that. Unfortunately I am myself a quite "wikitired" at the moment and not very creative for editing this series articles. I also feel that "fresh" editors with fresh look and ideas could be great help for developing this article, so your input is appreciated. I would like apology if this not your area of interest. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 15:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
This is just a courtesy message to let you know I revert your recent edit to RDS. I have a problem with the wording "despite the fact that" which you put in. I know you say this was an original wording but there are heavy POV implications in it which go beyond NPOV. NPOV is to include the criticism of it in the following sentences, but why "despite"? Do let me know if you disagree on further reflection and perhaps we can try to find some better wording. --BozMo talk 08:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Having made an effort to remove some exaggerated claims in the article Effects of Global Warming my edits [4] were reverted by you saying that it needed more explanation on the talk page.
I obliged, and explained in fair detail every edit I had made on the talk page, saying that, if no-one objected, I would revert the revert. I left it three days and no-one did, so I reverted it, stating in the edit summary to see the talk page. However, I was disappointed to see that you reverted it again with absolutely no justification, explanation, or any sign you had even read what I had posted on the talk page.
Please explain why you undid my efforts to improve this wikipedia article or else stop reverting them. You're entitled to your opinion, but unless you can justify it, as I have, please stop reverting this edit.

I don't want to polarize on this issue, you comment wasn't so much as incoherent than long, and if it offended you I'm sorry. You seem to have a lot on your mind. Is there something you want to say? ChyranandChloe (talk) 05:50, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, no I am not offended. Sorry if I gave that impression and also sorry, my post was very long. Must have been my longest post in a year or so. But yes, perhaps its a good idea to resume the discussion here, since we are maybe the only two people who actually care about this section and there may be more important things to discuss on the GW talk page. I guess we agree, that its a good idea to generally keep 'see also', 'external links' and similar sections in an article as brief as possible. I am all in support of that: [6] [7] [8] [9]
So, if I get you right, you see three issues with the section: It takes unnecessary space, from the style point of view its use is discouraged and its already in the box?
I am not sure I got my point across in the other post, so I may repeat myself.
As for space, I don't see the problem. Just three lines. There are other ways to remove unnecessary stuff. For example pictures of drunken forrests or sea ice, that add no real info to the article. And you don't seem to have a problem with the many ((main)) and ((seealso))s. Take the one in Economic and political debate. These ones alone are 3 lines long but only link to a handful of articles, most or all of them are also linked to in the navbox. So why are these okay but the 2 links in 'See also' that link to all the GW-related articles and explain the terms in the glossary are not ok? Aren't the index and glossary more important to guide readers who look for more information?
As for the style, there is no rule that forbids 'See also', not even in FAs. All thats stated in the rules is that a good article doesn't have to have such a section and that the danger is that they tend to get cluttered. Thats not the case here and lots of other FA articles also have a brief See Also section. So why not this one?
Finally the fact that its already linked to in the navbox at he bottom of the page. So are all/most of the other ((main)) and ((seealso))s and many other links. The problem is that this box is well hidden and thus easily overlooked. The box is very extensive and the links to index and glossary are even in fineprint. If you don't know that an index and glossary even exists you'll never going to find it in this article without the 'See also' section.
Ok, not sure I made myself more clear now but I really care about the GW article and I want to make sure this topic is as accessable as possible for the average Wikipedia reader.
Regards, Splette :) How's my driving? 06:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Space, duplication, style guidelines and so forth are secondary or non-essential points. It is a red herring which leads an argument in a circle. Do not get caught in this roundabout. These points can be switched back and forth depending on who's presenting them; I've presented them in my second post[10] and you in yours. They essentially amount to nothing more than a warrant in an argument, which establishes your interest or intent. You can usually present your essential point in one paragraph.
Because of this, my answer is no. You do not need to repeat yourself, you do not need to bold your text to help me read, you do not need purport to yourself or I any ill or poorly developed intentions. I'm here to improve the article, and I know you are the same. The essential point is what I'm looking for. But. If you want. I'll reiterate responses to your last post. Just ask one more time. I've never held you to anything less, and I expect the same. Your thoughts are important, learn to develop them in an articulate and coherent way. You are capable. ChyranandChloe (talk) 22:41, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, Ill repost here then:
Page view distributions is based weekly, they follow a weekly pattern—so give pageviews weekly, not monthly, save some thought. and I believe a comparison between "Global warming" and the articles in the See also is reasonable. The two articles, which are articles that are a list of articles. It was actually created as a compromise. Usually categories are used to accomplish for this purpose, however to reduce link span within the See also, these two articles were created as a compromise.
Using the navigational footer was actually an interesting new concept I'm looking at in WP:LAYOUT. It's an offshoot of a proposal to create a new section titled "Related information" at the bottom of the article to contain these boxes, with the reasonable basis that some articles used them to the extent that it could be its own section. I didn't agree with the proposal, under the actual practice clause, but it started the concept that: the navigation footer boxes could replace the see also, it provides a more dynamic and organized means to present links with show and hide, took up less space than if it were presented as a see also, and would be grouped with information that would "extend the reader's understanding" which is the original intent of the External links and Further reading.
I've concede with not removing the See also; this discussion is long enough, and I value your judgment. If you believe that it should remain, then I won't remove it unless there is a strong reasonable basis that would be beyond a reasonable doubt—which differs from a preponderance of evidence. I'll leave it to you if you want to bring the discussion back up again. You've got what you've said you wanted, these are my thoughts. ChyranandChloe (talk) 06:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
I don't like style guidelines in general actually. They're contentious. Some editors, I would have to say, worry me sometimes. I mean, to go to arbitration and allocate 32 remedies.[16] That's pretty extreme. The reason why I deal with this is that is that WP:FA and WP:GA can actually withhold approval if the article being proposed doesn't follow WP:LAYOUT. It's political in that sense, so over time you sort of learn how arguments end up in a loop, a red herring, and how to get out of it. What our discussion was about was about, in my opinion, was the threshold at which we make our decision. It's how certain we were. There are two commonly used thresholds and they are: the preponderence of evidence, and beyond a reasonable doubt. I think it satisfied former, the latter, not so much. Well, that's how style guidelines work. ChyranandChloe (talk) 07:17, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I have emailed you to ask whether you would agree to participate in a short survey on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies in articles pertaining to global warming and climate change. If interested, please email me Encyclopaedia21 (talk) 19:03, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
...for your recent participation at talk:Matt Sanchez. The article seems to have some difficulties and attention from impartial editors can only help. Given your background in science and what I've seen of your editing habits elsewhere on WP, I think your neutrality and style would be a gift there. Thanks, Doc Tropics 23:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Please do not revert, just find the source please.--Jacurek (talk) 08:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Hallo! Danke für Deine Hilfe bei der Bearbeitung des Artikels Lech Kaczyński in der englischen Wikipedia. Mir scheint, daß dort jemand etwas voreilig meinen Beitrag editiert hat. Nun, ich habe jetzt externe Link zum Urteil des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte eingefügt, ich hoffe, daß jetzt Ruhe ist. Rownosci (talk) 15:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:MartinKarplus.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
((di-replaceable fair use disputed))
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.35.224 (talk) 02:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Because it properly belongs in the history section. Also it's unsourced. Also one should be worry about edits in the lede made by single purpose accounts.radek (talk) 23:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks - I'll correct that immediately. This was caused by a fault in the keyboard of my laptop. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 03:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Desaniyoung.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 19:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Splette,
In reference to the article on recycling:
Saludos, Thamus (talk) 00:14, 27 August 2009 (UTC) P.S. please send answer to my talk page, I might not notice it for a while otherwise ;) Thamus (talk) 01:47, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Re [17]: I'm not sure whether I knew what you meant or not, but I didn't intend to imply that you meant something different from what you meant, and I apologize if I gave that impression. Rather, I was using the phrase to mean something different from what you meant. in my opinion, WMC had taken a position on content matters on the article. That opinion puts a different perspective on the situation. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 00:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
When you made this edit, you commented, "Please discuss changes on the talk page first."
I did discuss my changes on the talk page before I made the changes. Your accusation that I did not discuss them first is inexcusable.
Grundle2600 (talk) 17:33, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
So you reached consensus before you added those bits into the article? Because I can't find it anywhere. SPLETTE :] How's my driving? 23:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi I've created this project and wondering if you would like to help on it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Meteorology,_Climatology_and_Ecosystems your help would be much appreciated Mark999 20:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
In labeling my edit of the An Inconvenient Truth page "vandalism", you are in blatant violation of WP:CIVIL. You owe me an apology. Heqwm2 (talk) 17:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Please be careful with civility; "nonsense" is not a good edit summary [19]. See WP:CIVIL. Nor should you describe a content dispute as "vandalism" (WP:VANDALISM) [20]. regards, Rd232 talk 10:01, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
SPLETTE, you said that you weren't sure the award should be mentioned at all. But for the sake of argument, taking for granted that it is mentioned, you did not opine on what's the best way to refer to it. I hope you will give your opinion so that I do not inadvertently misrepresent you. ~YellowFives 04:02, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Yes, we keep removing something from that page, mainly because it's incorrect. And the lady has stated many times she hates having that there. Perhaps, instead of begging others to "stop removing stuff" you should investigate why it was removed first. As it turns out, you're constant undoing of removals is promoting false wikipedia articles, not us. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.27.129.193 (talk) 07:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Splette. I would like to ask your opinion if the Shale oil extraction article is ready for the FAC nomination or is there anything more what should be done? I also wonder if you would be around to assist during the FAC process. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 19:16, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
With regard to your last comment at Abd page, the "global warming", MD and Marxism appear in the same phrase because all of them belong to scientific theories of questionable quality. To be more precise, they are not theories at all, they are something Richard Feynman called "not science" as physicist-theoretician. Why MD is not really a theory? Why it fails to predict even the starting point of the trajectory (the native structure), while claiming to correctly predict the whole trajectory? Because it makes a dirty trick of applying the Classical Mechanics theory to the case where you do not know the forces. Just for starters, do you know that all types of van der Waals forces (I am talking about "6-12") are dependent on the dielectric properties of the environment, because they are ultimately of electrostatic nature? They are 10 times weaker in water than in vacuum, and this has been directly and experimentally proven by measuring the Hamaker constant for interactions between different materials in media (see the textbook by Jacob Israelachvili). Is that something included in MM/MD? The single most important problem of molecular modeling is correct and sufficiently precise calculation of free energy, and people can not do that and therefore failed to predict protein structure even in the field of homology modeling. And yes, some people are doing disservice to this project by creating articles like List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming instead of Criticism of global warming, whatever this criticism might be.Biophys (talk) 16:23, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Splette, If you are happy to let people like Ludwig waste their time on global warming - then please say so in the discussion - that is what the discussion is for - but please have the courtesy to both me and ludwig (and anyone else reading it) to let me recount my experience and give my honest well considered advice so that Ludwig can decide for himself whether he might e.g. be able to approach the editing without falling into the same traps and like most other editors before completely wasting their time. 85.210.3.125 (talk) 22:40, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:56, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Splette I hope you are doing fine. It has been quite a long time since we last time discussed the FAC nomination of the Shale oil extraction article. Since then the article has been stable without any major changes. Therefore I think that this time it will be ready for the nomination. I would like to ask you to take a look and say your opinion about this. If there is any unsolved issues, please discuss this on the article's talk page. Otherwise, I will nominate it after few days. I also hope you will be around to keep your eye on the nomination process. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Splette, many thanks for the new images that you have added to the article. I drew the original ones using PowerPoint hoping one day someone more talented would replace them. I am especially impressed by the drawing of the structure of tobacco mosaic virus. Best wishes, Graham. Graham Colm (talk) 08:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate many of your images, but I don't think the HIV figure is an improvement. While the shading in the new one has some aesthetic appeal, it reduces contrast and provides less information (some might argue clutter, but those concepts are at the heart of understanding the clinical course of HIV). Let's see if someone else re-adds the figure you generated. -- Scray (talk) 04:44, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

I have come across your wonderful designs of various organic molecules. Which, according to you, is the best, Open Source and Free Molecular modelling/graphics software?
I have a list in Wikipedia [List of molecular graphics systems], but I don't know which would be the best according to its ease of use.
I have perused your talk section on PyMOL. Will it be easy to learn & use for novices like me?
Eager for your advice.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I've a suggestion for you. The Wikiversity Journal of Medicine accepts submissions of medically-related images for publication. The format is to give some scientific background, describe the history of any previous versions of the image, references and sources, and the decisions made for how to present the information. It's an interesting way of having a searchable (on google scholar) cite-able record. It was featured in the signpost last week too (link).
((cite journal))
: CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI (link)Your medicaly-related diagrams such as File:HI-virion-structure en.svg might make good submissions if you're interested. I think its an interesting experiment in bringing together the Wikipedia and Academic communities so I'm also submitting ((Eukaryote_gene_structure)). T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 01:25, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
