Welcome, from Journalist

Welcome!

Hello, Banus, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Again, welcome!

  • Thanks, my main task is to translate pages from english to italian (it:wiki is still poor) and, maybe, the reverse :P Banus 20:41, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Weird case of misattributed edit

Hi Banus,

A few hours ago I made this edit to Dominance relationship. For some reason it's on record as an edit that you made, ie it's on your list of contributions, shows your name on the page history, etc. Any idea what's up? Were you and I perhaps editing the article at the same time? Not accusing you or anything like that, of course, I'm just curious — I've never noticed anything like this happening before! –Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 12:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the article at the same time. I always wondered what could happen if two contributors make the same edit (for example, undo) at the same time... maybe we have find out it :D ... Probably in this case Mediawiki pick up one edit (the swiftest?) from the job queue --Banus 12:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks for letting me know. Weird how it put my edit comment on your name though. –Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 12:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
...that was the same of my edit summary. Really weird coincidence. Carl Jung should have an explanation ;) --Banus 13:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I, TimVickers, award Banus this barnstar for his endless patience with fighting vandalism on science articles. Tim Vickers 19:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! That was much appreciated, especially form a valuable editor like you :D --Banus 08:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DNA...

I put "DNA is believed to be magic by some resarchers" up on the DNA page, to test how quickly it would be noticed/taken down. Four minutes! Bravo Banus! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pumpkingrower05 (talk • contribs) 17:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I'd prefer that articles weren't edited to prove a point. DNA is one of the finest entries in wikipedia, and I care to keep it clean ;) --Banus 18:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PBB instruction revisions?

When/if you have a chance, please see User_talk:ProteinBoxBot/Volunteer#any_instruction_revisions.3F. Thanks! AndrewGNF 20:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thanks a lot! This is very nice work of yours. Where the names of PDB files came from? Now there is a difficult part: to use your and my files to actually generate the articles about protein families. This requires some knowledge of protein classification hierarchy as superfamilies (e.g. GPCR), families (those in Pfam and corresponding "parent" entries of InterPro) and subfamilies ("children" families of InterPro that are not currently included in your file - like subfamilies of Rhodopsin-like receptors). I am going to work here, but some help is probably needed...Biophys (talk) 00:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :D The PDB names were in the interpro.xml on the InterPro ftp site. I've limited the number to 10 to avoid bloating in the Pfam box; but it was a programming exercise (array slices) :P. The same file contains also informations about parent and children of a certain family.
Before we import all the InterPro annotations we also need to check if they are copyrighted. InterPro by itself don't place restrictions (Terms of use, 10) but users should check if the original content was copyrighted. I've seen at least one InterPro annotation taken from Prosite, but others don't have an apparent source. The "copyviol bot guys" like Coren maybe can help... we can assume that all the text that doesn't originate from copyrighted sources was created in InterPro, and therefore is free to use and modify. --Banus 20:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I left him a message because one of created articles has been identified already as a copyvio. It is even difficult to separate Pfam and InterPro. Each Pfam entry usually displays two types of abstracts: one that is "truly Pfam" and another that came from InterPro. But the texts of both abstracts are often comletely or almost identical.Biophys (talk) 00:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CDK5

I have restored them both. I think we edit conflicted during moving/deletion and it got all confused. The logs look a mess but the info has been restored. Thanks for letting me know. Woody (talk) 09:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Survey request

Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Thank You, BCeagle0312 (talk) 16:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DQA1

The HLA-DQA1 page that you created. HLA-DQA1 encodes the alpha chain of HLA-DQ, DQ α. The picture in the protein box is that of HLA-DQ which is both the alpha, beta chain and inserted peptide. The alpha chain itself does not have a structure unless you blank out the beta chain and peptide. I am probably going to replace the picture on the HLA-DQ page with the picture in the box. The HLA-DQB1 page does not have an image, probably because they were the same image.PB666 yap 01:33, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quark is under peer review

I've nominated the Quark article for peer review. Since I see you have made many edits to that article, you might be interested in watching the review. Thank you. -- Army1987 (t — c) 09:28, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent Plagiarism

I wanted to alert you that your entry PDGFRB appears to be plagiarized from the PDB entry on the same topic. Although you cite this source, your entry is copied nearly verbatim from the PDB entry on the same subject. Please refer to Wikipedia:Plagiarism. I recommend re-formatting your entry so that it is apparent your paragraph is a block quote from the PDB article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/5155.

Dansoram (talk) 22:56, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't appear from the history that the entry was one of the GeneWiki articles I edited. Anyhow, part of the GeneWiki project was to create stubs from freely available annotations databases. As you can see in the Policies page of PDB, the content is free for any commercial or non commercial use. Banus (talk) 08:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
