Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, EquationDoc!

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:

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: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun! – Clockwork Soul 23:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and another thing

Re: BAX

Hi, EquationDoc. All you have to do is click the "move" tab at the top of the article's page, and type the new name into the "to new title" field. If there is already a page at the new location, then an administrator will have to do the move. I've already moved Bcl-2–associated death protein to Bcl-2-associated X protein. Cheers! – Clockwork Soul 15:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see the problem. Your account must be at least four days old before you can move a page. Within a couple of days, your move tab will appear. – Clockwork Soul 17:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Article Title Style Question - Acronyms

As far as I know, there is no currently agreed upon standard when it comes to article names and abbreviations, but the general tendency is to use the subject's full name as the location of the main article, and then create a redirect from the acronym. Regarding your other questions, I don't believe that there is any official standard for any of those questions, but there's been some discussion at the MCB porposals page. I'll repost your question to our help page: with some luck it can kick start the discussion. – Clockwork Soul 05:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even better: I just remembered that we have a style guidelines page! Sorry, it's been a long day. If you still find it lacking, please let me know, or post it to MCB, and we'll figure it out. – Clockwork Soul 05:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. The style is that human gene and protein names are written in capitals (for example, ALDOA, INS, etc). For orthologs of human genes in other species, only the initial letter is capitalized. It looks like the article should be moved, and a redirect left in its place. – Clockwork Soul 05:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me about it. I've investigate gC1qR/p33. Guess which name we use. – Clockwork Soul 06:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested proteins

Excellent idea: thanks for adding it! I was thinking, however, that it might be a good idea to expand the scope of the page to include non-protein images, such as pathway diagrams and the like. What do you think? – Clockwork Soul 16:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
