Speedy deletion nomination of Ralph Petty

A tag has been placed on Ralph Petty requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ralph Petty

A tag has been placed on Ralph Petty requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

September 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:48, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Ralph Petty do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Iohannes Animosus (talk) 00:35, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note from ARRTAF to Iohannes Animosus - the external links that were added were not 'spam', and were not 'vandalism' - they were meant to link the reader of this article to examples of the artist's works. Please be more mindful and discriminatory when categorizing updates as 'vandalism' or 'spam'. Thank you. ARRTAF 00:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leptin

ARRTAF, I have posted the following on the Talk page of Susan Korres. I hope it is helpful to you both:

Hi Susan Kores. I noticed what appears to be a disagreement between you and user ARRTAF regarding the attribution of the discovery of the leptin gene.

ARRTAF has contributed on this topic to the leptin Wikipedia article (among others) and has cited published sources to corroborate that the leptin gene was co-discovered by Rudolph Leibel, Jeffrey Friedman, and their research teams at Rockefeller University together with Douglas Coleman. It appears that you have been editing ARRTAF’s contributions, deleting the inclusion of Rudolph Leibel as a co-discoverer of leptin, despite ARRTAF’s substantiation of this fact.

While you have not responded to the comments ARRTAF made on your Talk page, you have made statements within some of your edit summaries that attempt to clarify your position: that Leibel cannot be attributed as the co-discover because Friedman did not include him on the paper that reported the isolation of the leptin gene.

ARRTAF has successfully countered your position by referencing a preponderance of published sources that demonstrate Leibel’s role as a co-discoverer of the leptin gene. A search of the PubMed database reveals that Leibel was first author or contributing author of every paper that Friedman published in scientific journals in the early 1990s regarding the molecular genetics of obesity – until the December 1994 “Nature“ paper where Friedman excluded Leibel and others involved in the discovery.

Supporting ARRTAF’s contributions is the impartial report about the events surrounding leptin’s co-discovery that journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell made in her 2002 book “The Hungry Gene.” This, among other published sources ARRTAF cites, substantiates ARRTAF’s Wikipedia contributions regarding the co-discovery of the leptin gene by Leibel and Friedman.

In short, the fact that Friedman chose not to include Leibel as a co-author of a single paper and subsequently received millions of dollars in related compensation (as Shell reports) as well as many prizes and awards does not negate Leibel’s co-discoverer role and is not sufficient grounds to justify your deletion and edits of ARRTAF’s contributions.

As ARRTAF referenced on your Talk page, Wikipedia strictly adheres to a neutral point of view policy. Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, “all” of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources. Please consider this when making future edits and contributions in Wikipedia.

I hope this is helpful to you and to ARRTAF, and encourage you to dialogue with me about it on my Talk page if you have any questions. Thank you. Pamaorg (talk) 01:55, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
