Wikibreak

Thanks, it was a good rest... -- Samir धर्म 06:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Bruno Senna

Thanks for your help with the photo of Bruno Senna. It's the first time that I've managed to get a photo onto Wikipedia.

I have a lot more similar photos that I'll start uploading now and will put them into Wikipedia Commons. Thanks for holding my hand with this one!

Kind regards from Southport, England. AJM553 19:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Image request

Hi there. Thanks for dealing so efficiently with the activation energy diagram in Enzyme. However, as I'm sure you know, the reward of efficiency is work! So could I ask that you also work your magic on Image:Relative scale.png and convert this to a SVG for me? Thank you. TimVickers 22:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Great! Just in time for FAC, I couldn't have asked for more. TimVickers 17:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the help with the adefovir page. That is exactly what I was hoping for. Wikipediatastic 16:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

FAC of Bacteria

An editor has made some major changes to this article, could you please return to the FAC and provide some feedback on whether or not these are an improvement? TimVickers 21:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

DS - sheesh !

Now you know why I'd never subject TS to the main page - you should have seen the vandalism last night, and where the heck is TedE, the original author? I'm not sure the article is improving, or how we'll get back to something resembling medical accuracy and consensus. Sandy (Talk) 20:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my typo on the DS Notable Individual refs. I'm glad someone checks these things. Colin°^Talk 23:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for wishing me luck

Hi Fvasconcellos, thanks for wishing me luck, I appreciate it a lot. As a side note, I hope you don't mind if I stay away from medical-related articles for a little bit, because so much of my life offline has revolved around illness and doctors and everything for the past few months, and I really needed a break. I will try to get back into the various medical wikiprojects, but just not now, OK? I hope you're doing well, and thanks again! --Kyok o 14:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for understanding. The past few months have just been very eventful health-wise, both physically and mentally. It's all explained on my userpage, if you care to read it. I do plan on returning to the drug wikiproject, etc., but not for at least a few weeks or months. You're right that Wikipedia is in a sense a "safe haven" for me, because this is something I do to relax, and something that doesn't have the deadlines that you have in real life. Thanks again. --Kyok o 15:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Nafarelin

Hi there! Nafarelin could use your expertise in crafting a structural formula image (hint, hint! :-) ). Thanks! - Alison ^✍ 01:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for providing that diagram. It's awesome and really improves the article!! - Alison ^✍ 00:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
... and Histrelin?? Wow - thanks! You're unstoppable :) - Alison ^✍ 00:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

David Ruben RfA

Fvasconcellos/Archive 2, thank you for your support in my RfA which passed on 13th December 2006 with a tally of 49/10/5. I am delighted by the result and a little daunted by the scope of additional responsibilities; I shall be cautious in my use of the new tools. I am well aware that becoming an Admin is not just about a successful nomination, but a continuing process of gaining further experience; for this I shall welcome your feedback. Again, many thanks for supporting my RfA, feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. :-) David Ruben 03:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

GABA_receptor

Would you be interested in putting the references in wiki format (currently in brackets)? --Foundby 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Folding@home

Would you be interested in working on Folding@home, it is regarding protien folding simulation done by computer in hopes of curing Cancer, Huntington's disease, alzhiemers etc etc. For suggestions see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Folding%40home and also see the talk page. thnx. --Foundby 06:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Know anything about Dichlor?

Thank you for redirecting Trichlor to Symclosene. I've been trying to figure out that structure for a while. I was wondering if you know and can add anything to Dichlor, which must be quite similar. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Karuna8 (talk • contribs) 00:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC).

Thanks, looks great. --Karuna8 00:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Happy holidays

Thanks for the holiday greetings Fvasconcellos! The best of the season to you and yours as well, and best wishes for a safe and happy New Year -- Samir धर्म 16:40, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Hope you have a good time! Enjoy the food and relaxation. TimVickers 17:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the greetings, and I hope you have a joyous season too! --Kyoko 22:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the beautiful and thoughtful holiday greetings! My family enjoyed a quiet, uneventful, and blessed Christmas - may 2007 bring joy and good health to you and yours. Best, Sandy (Talk) 04:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC) (PS - thanks for that last revert of nastiness on TS :-)

Thank you for the kind wishes. Peace to you and to everyone you love. --Arcadian 04:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind message. The best for you too. :) NCurs e _work 20:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

To add to the general sentiment, thanks for the holiday wishes! Hope your Christmas was at least as nice as mine was. (BTW, I only let myself be a grinch in the last week before Christmas ;) Opabinia regalis 08:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Symclosene and dichlor

Thanks for your note, excellent pictures, and nice vibes. Chemicals with complex names and commercial value are awkward but important. Since I do change names pretty often, here is my pattern: (i) employ lots of redirects, (ii) the main page, it seems, should be some sort of semi-official chemical name vs something that sounds like a commercial product, and (iii) announce plans or solicit ideas about renaming on the talk page for a week or so. Best wishes,--Smokefoot 00:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

And a Merry Christmas and Much joy in the new jear to you too!

My personal Christmas message for you can be found here.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Toxic DNA

I dropped them a note on their talk page. If this article only briefly touches on genes, adding hypothetical DNA functions would be unbalanced. This might fit better in the genome article? TimVickers 17:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. Could I ask you to have a look over one of the other FA candidates I've been rewriting a lot recently? Immune system went into the process in rather a poor shape, but has been improved a lot. Do you have any suggestions or feedback? It's candidacy page is here (link). Thanks. TimVickers 20:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Reference Desks

The Science & Humanities Reference Desks would sure appreciate your help.

Lots of idiots need your help. Help where you can please. thnx. --Foundby 17:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Sirolimus

Hi. Happy New Year to you. I'd really like a nice picture of Sirolimus (Rapamycin), which is a promising research drug for tuberous sclerosis. Any chance you could do a pretty picture? The existing one is a GIF. Looking on PubChem shows lots of variants. Clearly the drug forms a big loop, but some drawings are angular and some are perfectly round. Why? There is a 3D aspect to the drug, but perhaps a 3D ball picture would be messy as it is a big drug. Cheers, Colin°^Talk 21:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. No rush. Your examples look lovely. Colin°^Talk 21:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for the new images. In addition to the sirolimus article, I've added the 3D model to the brand new timeline of tuberous sclerosis. Colin°^Talk 17:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey. I've just noticed your mTOR picture. That's a real work of modern art! Is molecular biology your field? Would you be able to help with (at least some of) the Pathophysiology section in Tuberous sclerosis? I could direct you to some of the recent reviews/papers. This is an area where lots of exciting work is being done but it is way beyond my understanding. That article still needs a whole lot of work, and I can't do it all. If I can help with any of your articles (in a lay capacity) let me know. Cheers, Colin°^Talk 22:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

That's good advice, I'll look at that project tomorrow and post a request. If you still fancy working on that article, let me know what would interest you and I'll try to help find the relevant sources. I'll understand if you want to wait and see if I get help from the experts. Colin°^Talk 22:53, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for being the first to second Tim :) And for your very helpful suggestions on the article. I moved proteasome from the chemistry to the biology section of the FA list, but chem seems sadly underpopulated... hint, hint :) Opabinia regalis 01:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations also for your work on bringing Immune system to FA status! I'm sure that I speak for many who are really impressed with your help and community spirit :) Keep up the good work! Willow 13:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you both. I hardly think I'll be helping to populate the chem section of WP:FA anytime soon, though... I'll stick to minor edits for the time being and leave actual work to more knowledgeable editors such as yourselves:) (Takes an iron will to "survive" FAC as well. I'm not up to that! I will be putting metformin up for GAC soon. Either of you care to review it?) Fvasconcellos 14:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the prostanoids

Thanks! I ended up putting the diagram on the Prostanoid page. Very helpful diagram. David.Throop 04:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Template:Protein

I've put in the change you've requested. --Arcadian 01:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Enzyme

A prejudice I entirely understand and share, poooopyhead. ;) TimVickers 14:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Diagram for alpha sheet?

Hey, thanks for moving that misplaced message on my userpage. But of course, I'm here with an ulterior motive beyond just politeness.... ;) It's a bit different from your usual structures, but would you be able to do one of your fancy SVG diagrams for alpha sheet to illustrate the hydrogen bonding pattern, somewhat similar to the image (png) Image:BetaPleatedSheetProtein.png? I don't think I've described it very clearly in the text. There's a stick model in this image from a paper discussing the structure, and Pauling's original model is fig. 2 here. I think I'm terminally SVG-incompetent. Opabinia regalis 06:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! My aesthetic preference is for implicit carbons and hence separated R-groups, but I'm not picky :) Colors would be great. If you end up feeling inspired - I hadn't noticed these before, but the antiparallel and parallel images on beta sheet are less than informative. Opabinia regalis 00:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

That's perfect! The article looks much better now. I agree the R-groups are a little awkward, but there's not much else to do with them in 2D :) No particular preferences on the beta sheets (though I really like the colors on the alpha sheet) - the existing ones that don't show any atoms are colorful, but kind of hard to read. Opabinia regalis 03:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I told you (warned you?) that you were my new favorite ;) The parallel image looks good; the antiparallel one looks like it's half a peptide bond out of register - the hydrogen bonds should be between aligned (NH...O=C) pairs rather than a pair of NH's, a pair of O's, etc. Opabinia regalis 01:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, very nice - they're both now in the beta sheet article; hope the image layout is okay (I had to use a table to make them sit next to each other). Also, I have - on at least two separate occasions - written "translation" when I meant "transcription". Damn flaky neurons ;) Opabinia regalis 01:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops, that was entirely unintentional; thanks for fixing my bungling! I was having issues getting the images to tile properly - the old ones wouldn't fit along with the new ones without making a mess of the text, and I figured the semi-3D one is more informational. (It could be just me though; I always seem to be having image-conflict issues.) I guess I'll have to trust you ;) Opabinia regalis 02:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

It's Punicic

Did I write Pucinic somewhere? The request says Punicic. David.Throop 22:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

You're right, I'd misspelled it several times in the text. Fixed now; thanks for the catch. David.Throop 22:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
