Variability in PSA Measurement

I have edited it just because it is a very common problem occuring in practice. The review artcile may not be upto date but it is addressed considering routine problem of clinicains and lab professionals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.239.102.203 (talk) 07:24, 12 November 2014

Citations

Hey, you seem to be following me around fixing my bad citation formatting that I add to articles. Is there anything I should be doing differently or a tool that I should use. I tend to get the visual editor to create my citations magically for me because I'm lazy, and because I discoveed that I tended to write (more) broken prose when I tried to use markup. Talpedia (talk) 15:10, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your message and don't worry about your edits. You are adding good content and that is that main thing. Others can cleanup the format. I don't think I am following you around specifically, but rather I have been tracking Category:CS1 errors: PMC. According to the {{cite journal}} documentation, the value of |pmc= should not contain any characters. For example, |pmc=PMC12345 will trigger in an error and should be converted to |pmc=12345. Some of the citations tools like RefToolbar make this error. Concerning the Antipsychotic article which we both recently edited, from the beginning it has mainly followed Vancouver System author format. Per WP:CITEVAR, my recent edits were to maintain that style consistently throughout the article. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 15:28, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't think you were following me in particulary :D, more my trail of bad citations was attracting your attention. I might well be too lazy to learn citations rules, but we shall see. I might be more likely to submit tickets to the visual editor team. Talpedia (talk) 16:09, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Citation templates

Hey, thank you for the suggestion to use the PMID number rather than the whole citation. Will have to learn it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scienditor (talk • contribs) 19:23, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Boghog, prior to your suggestion, I used the "cite" widget on the PUBMED page; it automatically produces citations. Is the final result different? Thank you, Scienditor (talk) 11:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

@Scienditor: The PubMed widget produces a citation in a similar format, but it is not templated using the {{cite journal}}. The advantage of templated citations is that they are more uniform, they contain hyperlinks back to the PubMed for example, and they produce metadata that can be harvested by citation managers. So for example, the PubMed widget produces:

• Boyadjiev SA, Fromme JC, Ben J, Chong SS, Nauta C, Hur DJ, Zhang G, Hamamoto S, Schekman R, Ravazzola M, Orci L, Eyaid W. Cranio-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia is caused by a SEC23A mutation leading to abnormal endoplasmic-reticulum-to-Golgi trafficking. Nat Genet. 2006 Oct;38(10):1192-7. doi: 10.1038/ng1876. Epub 2006 Sep 17. PMID: 16980979

Whereas, the template filling tool produces:

• {{cite journal | vauthors = Boyadjiev SA, Fromme JC, Ben J, Chong SS, Nauta C, Hur DJ, Zhang G, Hamamoto S, Schekman R, Ravazzola M, Orci L, Eyaid W | title = Cranio-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia is caused by a SEC23A mutation leading to abnormal endoplasmic-reticulum-to-Golgi trafficking | journal = Nature Genetics | volume = 38 | issue = 10 | pages = 1192–7 | date = October 2006 | pmid = 16980979 | doi = 10.1038/ng1876 }}

which renders as

• Boyadjiev SA, Fromme JC, Ben J, Chong SS, Nauta C, Hur DJ, Zhang G, Hamamoto S, Schekman R, Ravazzola M, Orci L, Eyaid W (October 2006). "Cranio-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia is caused by a SEC23A mutation leading to abnormal endoplasmic-reticulum-to-Golgi trafficking". Nature Genetics. 38 (10): 1192–7. doi:10.1038/ng1876. PMID 16980979.

Transposable elements

Hello. I strongly apologise to bother you, but if you do not mind, I would like to ask a question regarding the article Transposable element. I believe it should include some information on the so-called Class III TEs (see: Pierre Capy et al., Dynamics and Evolution of Transposable Elements, 1998).

• E.g. some papers refer to MITEs as Class III: Multigenome analysis implicates miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) in metabolic diversification in eudicots.
• Another example may be Foldback (FB) elements, see e.g.: The transposable elements of the Drosophila melanogaster euchromatin: a genomics perspective.
• John Baez (2017) described Class III TEs as a grab-bag consisting of transposons that don't clearly fit into the other two categories, and added: Examples include the "Foldback" elements in fruit flies, the "Tu" elements in sea urchins, and "MITEs", or "miniature inverted repeat transposable elements", which are found mainly in plants and fungi.

If you find some time, could you briefly describe Class III TEs, please? I was about to do it myself at the end of the Classification section, but I must admit I have difficulty with the correct wording of this paragraph so that it is acceptable according to Wikipedia standards. Since you are an expert in the field of molecular biology and an experienced Wikipedia user, I decided to contact you and rely on your knowledge here. Thank you very much. Kind regards, --Pinoczet (talk) 19:45, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for tweaking the student cites

Hi User Boghog, thank you for helping to clean up one of the student edited articles Amyloidosis. I have just logged in and will be reviewing and cleaning up all the student edits. I am looking forward to this as their work on the talk pages looked amazing. Thanks again! JenOttawa (talk) 20:46, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of a large number of MCB related articles related to RNA motifs

Hi User:Boghog,

I wonder if you might be willing to wade into the discussion about deletion of a large number of RNA motif related articles that look like being put for deletion.

See WP:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Hundreds_of_RNA_motif_pages

It would seem a shame to lose all of them.

Thanks Alexbateman (talk) 16:22, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
