Hi Victor, nice work on CD36. It is good to see the people who make the discoveries to help with the articles. The more of you joining Wiki the better. -- Boris 18:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ya, its kinda fun also, and is a good resource for me if I happen to be travelling and need some quick references. I see you edit the Molecular Biology area...are you a scientist? -- V-man 31 January 2006

Sort of. Not officially, just an arm-chair one. I went to college, back in '93, to study molecular biology. I couldn't pass the fourth year - the lack of finances was the main reason. So i never graduated but i never gave up my passion for the subject either. Three years ago i created this website (i didn't know about Wikipedia at that time) - i was just playing around with HTML and JavaScript (and later with PHP, too), most of the pages are "empty" and there are only few good ones - Amino acids is probably the best (most of the info i took from Voet's "Biochemistry" - excellent book). I wanted to make an online "Molecular biology" encyclopedia where the experts update the articles, discussion boards and all that (i remeber when i was a student how time consuming was to find the info i needed). But i never got too far. I wanted to but i didn't know how to get more people involved, people like yourself. So at the end it wasn't really that serious to be honest, it was just kind of a brain gymnastics. So, this is my "scientific" background. -- Boris 15:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty cool. I am impressed by the number of pages you conrtibute to given that you are not an academic professional (you certainly sound like one (and yes, Voet is an excellent resource)). Your web site is also pretty impressive...great score on the domain name! I moonlight as a web developer (Biochemist by day), and have used lots of programs for the web, both static and dynamic content. I started a web site for general rugby info (my main past-time) and used an open source content management system. It was a good learning experience but a wiki is much more suited to this type of site...I may switch it. BTW, how is that you noticed my post back? Do you have to 'watch' my talk page, or does the wiki automatically created a link when you post on my talk page? V-man 15:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a check box "Watch this page" just above the "Show preview" button in the "Edit this page" (article, talk page, discussion, template, etc.). I always have it checked so anytime when that page gets changed i get notofied in "my watchlist". -- Boris 17:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boris, I noticed on your user page that you contributed a comment on CD36 about wikifying my links...I can't find the comment on the CD36 talk page. V-man 15:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that was a task i had to do later, it was just a reminder note.
You have added lots of references to the CD36 article (which people should always do, and i think you are setting an example). But the way you have done it (i don't mean that there is a reference note after every new fact but that this note contains items like names, years, reference address) makes the text hard to read and even harder to edit. Here on Wiki there are several ways to do the references (with templates, tags, etc) but i have found that most of them either insert "junk text" (rows of code) in the main text of the article which makes the text longer to edit, plus many people aren't code educated or give the notations, that point to the same reference, different numbers which most of the time don't match the references number. Some of them don't provide anything so the reader has to figure out on their own what notation to what reference is linked. So i do it in a way that avoids all that, i think. -- Boris 17:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the referece tips. I'll give it some consideration. I think i prefer the #s as well.

Boris, the CD36 symbol in the info table does not properly link to HUGO. Any thoughts? V-man 15:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boris, can you point me to the place where the contents box is controlled? V-man 15:55, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This info box is drawn by Template:Protein. If you want to call a template you write {{template's name}}. In this case the only thing you need to do is to provide one of the template variables with a value HGNCid=1663, which was missing. We also try to keep the info boxes at the very top of the page. -- Boris 17:41, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:The_PASS_Theory_of_Intelligence.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:The_PASS_Theory_of_Intelligence.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. 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? Melesse (talk) 17:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock-spamun|Victor Drover|I make valuable contributions on a variety of subjects and personal interests. It seems one page I created was marked as SPAM, but I don't understand why and would like to work with an Admin to figure out the cause. }}

Victor, the template you used above is to request an unblock of an account. I do not see that this account is disabled in any way. If you are receiving a message that prohibits you from editing, please copy it here so that we can trouble shoot the problem.

At a quick glance, I do not see that any of your articles have been marked as problematic. If you could note which article you are having difficulty with, I would be happy to assist. Kuru (talk) 16:09, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because

The article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the club claims or interviewing its management. One of your refs was the club itself, not independent, and the other was a fixture list that didn't confirm any of the text

Further points

I'm not convinced that the club meets the notability criteria as linked above, please check carefully because you would be wasting your time recreating if it doesn't
If you have a conflict of interest when creating this article, you must declare it on its talk page.
Just one external link to the main website, no social media (a bot will remove them eventually anyway)
I think the article title is not that of the club. Milwaukee Barbarians or Barbarians (Milwaukee) seem more plausible

If you do decide you want to recreate, let me know if you want the code for the infobox, cheers Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
