"Flavonoids have antioxidant functions in plants that are challenged with a range of environmental stressors. Stress-response dihydroxy-B-ring substituted flavonoids have great potential to inhibit the generalization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce the levels of ROS once they are formed, to perform antioxidant functions. “Antioxidant” flavonoids are found in the chloroplast, which suggests a role in scavengers of singlet oxygen and stabilizers of the chloroplast outer envelope membrane. Vacuolar dihydroxy-B-ring flavonoids have been reported to serve as co-substrates for vacuolar peroxidases to reduce hydrogen peroxide escape from the chloroplast, following the depletion of ascorbate peroxidase activity. Antioxidant flavonoids may effectively control key steps of cell growth and differentiation, thus actively regulating the development of the whole plant and individual organs"

Feel free to explain exactly what is happening here below? We assume that this is a class assignment? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Thanks for contacting me.

This actually is a class assignment/group project for our Research Class at Boston College called "Research in Neuroscience" due tomorrow. We have been working with this antioxidant all semester. We are not trying to ruin the page or anything. I was wondering if you would be able to send us the coding for the last version of the wikipedia page we made (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quercetin&oldid=636694206) so that we can upload it on our sandbox instead. This will allow us to finish our assignment and allow the current version of the Quercetin page to remain unchanged. Sorry for the confusion.

Isobel -- your activity on the Quercetin page with Rozo93 and M.diop2011 has been noted by several long-term Wikipedia editors. As stated by Doc James, the insertions your team was making were plagiarized and/or weakly sourced, as I pointed out numerous times to Rozo. Among others who noted this activity, I requested that your access to Quercetin editing be blocked. It's puzzling why Wikipedia was the chosen forum for this biology assignment, but hopefully there's nothing preventing you from submitting your report as an email attachment to your instructor.--Zefr (talk) 02:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Wikipedia is live publishing. We cannot have these sorts of issues. Apologies from coming down on you so hard. We have a couple of simple rules 1) always paraphrase 2) use high quality secondary sources 3) write in simple language Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:47, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You do not have you email turned on so cannot send it. It is there in the history though.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:48, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
