Pair rule gene

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Pair rule gene a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 20:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maternal effect

Hi, regarding the re-revert on this article, University of Chicago Press is a respected scientific publisher, I don't think they are very commercial. The reference that was added is a scientific book. These generally seel a few hundred copies at most, if they want to advertise their books, they need to target a specific public (academic libraries, scientists working in this field, etc). I doubt that any academic publisher would want to spend much effort to push their books on WP, the audience here is just too general. In any case, if I had found this book myself, I probably would have added it to this article myself, and I would of course have linked to the publisher's website (not Amazon or Barnes & Noble, for instance). I really don't see the problem here. I don't care too much about it, so I won't revert again, but if you agree with me, you can perhaps undo your edit yourself. Otherwise just leave as is, I guess. Anyway, thought it might be helpful to explain my reason for undoing the earlier deletion. Happy editing! --Crusio (talk) 12:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
