CCleaner

A tag has been placed on CCleaner, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ccleaner. If you can indicate how CCleaner is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:CCleaner saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. Don't let this discourage you, though. If you need any help with editing, just ask me on my talk page. Thanks! —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 17:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frysk

Ik bin gjin oprjuchte Fries en ik kin it Frysk allinnich mar lêzen en in bytsje ferstean, helaas ... --Benne ['bɛnə] _(talk) 21:14, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(trans. from Frisian) I am not a true (born) Frisian and I can only read Frisian and write it a little, too bad...

Right, well. You can write Frisian very well, I must say. Lêze was in this case written without an n, however. Greetz, Dr. F.C. Turner - [USERPAGE|USERTALK] - 19:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Derekwatkins london.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Derekwatkins london.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:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Stifle (talk) 20:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there

Hi there, welcome to the micro Wikiproject. If I can help with anything please just drop me a note on my talkpage, or ask a question on the project discussion page. All the best! Tim Vickers (talk) 20:41, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:G.vaginalis.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:G.vaginalis.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:30, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be more specific (and less boilerplate), can you please explicitly confirm that you release these images under a Wikipedia-compatible copyright license (public domain, Creative Commons, or GFDL)? You'll have to do this for each image separately. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for understanding. DS (talk) 14:35, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming

Hi, could you please confirm your request at w:nl:WP:HA by leaving a message here and then notifying me at the Dutch Wikipedia. Thanks. - Taketa (talk) 18:53, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my confirmation :). Contacted you locally!

Barr bodies

Given that you wrote much of the content for the Barr body article, I think you'd be the best person to address this question: do women need their Barr bodies? What would occur if a woman's Barr bodies were to disappear, would it affect health, reproduction? What percent of the average woman's weight consists of this genetic material? As you can see there are some fundamental things about Barr bodies I have yet to grasp. Blue Danube (talk) 04:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for asking me. It is very difficult for me to understand your level of medical genetics, and your questions aren't very easy to answer in a few sentences. But I will try to be as understandable as possible.

You know that a normal woman has one X chromosome and one Barr body. However, a woman with Turner's syndrome (46,X) has only one X chromosome and no Barr body. On the other side, a female with three X chromosomes has two Barr bodies. Even a man with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) has a Barr body to inactivate his second X chromosome. The inactivation of the X chromosome in cases of aneuploidy, like monosomy (23rd pair, Turner's) or trisomy (23rd pair, Klinefelter's) are extremely complicated processes. But will a woman survive the absence of a Barr body? Sure! But she will suffer from the symptoms of Turner's syndrome.

You ask whether it affects health and reproduction. Well, health is greatly affected, as you can read on the article about Turner's syndrome. The prevalence of cardiovascular malformations is the most lifethreatening issue and present in most cases of Turner's. Reproduction might be a problem, as amenorrhoea indicates infertility (read more about hormonal causes of infertility). But not all cases of Turner's have amenorrhoea, so you understand that a patient with an absent Barr body might still be fertile. However, her sons or daughters might inherit a monosomy on the 23rd pair, ending up with Turner's or death. Read more about inheritance to understand the chances of these problems.

The percentage of a women's weight of her X chromosomes is very unsignificant. You might know that the sex chromosomes are the largest and because of this the heaviest. I don't know the weight of those chromosomes, but it is possible to analyse the proteins and their weight, which is definitely done before.

I hope you have your questions answered.

Sincerely,

Dr. F.C. Turner - [USERPAGE|USERTALK] - 09:24, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I very greatly appreciate your taking the time to explain this to me. This is the great thing about Wikipedia, where a perfect stranger can educate someone else so well about complex topics.

This does answer most of what I earlier did not understand. But, if you have another moment, there is one last part I don't follow. How come normal, diploid body cells must have the Barr body? It seems like a waste of energy for every cell in a woman's body to have to inactivate this extra X-chromosome floating around next to the functioning one. Why doesn't the body naturally eliminate this thing everywhere else except for the cells that undergo meiosis. Hypothetically, if the non-reproductive cells of a woman were to suddenly lose their Barr bodies, would that woman develop Turner's syndrome? Blue Danube (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. You're always welcome to ask anything about medicine, as education is a wonderful thing!

Diploid cells MUST have a Barr body, because there can/may only be one functional X chromosome. A cell with more than one functional X will encouter cell death, because of the amount DNA that need to be read and translated. It will just 'clash'. So a woman without a Barr body AND more than one X chromosome (as two is healthy) will die. Every cell in mammals (including male and female) can only have one functional copy. That's the reason why a male suffering from Klinefelter's has one X chromosome inactivated. The lyonization happens early in embryonic stage. It does seems like a waste, but the thought that a Barr body doesn't have any function is highly incorrect. I looked it up for you. Dr. Carrell published some research a few years ago entitled X-inactivation profile reveals extensive variability in X-linked gene expression in females (Carrell et.al., Nature 434 (7031): 400–4, 2005) PubMed link. A great article about expression after inactivation.

If a woman should lose her Barr body (suddenly), she still has the functional copy, so I think she'll live. And in that case, she might induce Turner's syndrome. This is practically impossible of course, but a nice hypothetically thought.

Wikipedia is indeed a great thing. Keep using it! Although it's not always as scientific as it should be.

Sincerely,

Dr. F.C. Turner - [USERPAGE|USERTALK] - 08:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Abbott m2000sp and m2000rt

A tag has been placed on Abbott m2000sp and m2000rt, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Abbott m2000 logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Abbott m2000 logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:FiestaOnline.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:FiestaOnline.PNG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AfD and PROD notifications

Hi Dr. F.C. Turner,

Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, which was part of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links to the templates), that would be very useful. (You can also email me at mpinchukwikimedia.org if you want.) Thanks! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 21:15, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

God's Not Dead (film)

Your edit did not cite a reliable source. As a result, there was no way to correct your statement. The film grossed roughly $62 million. At the moment, the 50 top grossing films all grossed over $800 million. This film was likely not even in the top 5 for the month it came out. I'm guessing the source (whatever it was) was doing some kind of homemade calculation to say the film was successful. - SummerPhD^v2.0 15:47, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
