In regard to this edit, please note that it is necessary to go through all three steps at WP:AFDHOWTO to nominate an article for deletion. I removed the AfD from the daily log because doing only step III will not work. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:02, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Philadelphia Chromosome

Hi, I saw your edits good faith edits to Philadelphia chromosome. Thanks for trying to improve the Wiki. However, the change you made is was not accurate. Formation of the Philadelphia Chromosome occurs via reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. See either:

Attention: This template ({{cite pmid}}) is deprecated. To cite the publication identified by PMID 8656667, please use {{cite journal}} with |pmid=8656667 instead.
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 18th ed. Chapter 109 (Acute and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia).

I have modified the article back to it's original state to reflect this. If you disagree, please comment on the article's talk page.

Thanks for catching the formatting issues. I've let those changes stand.

Saw your reply on my talk page. There is no trouble. :-) I'm happy to work with others and know your edit was in good faith. It looks like you've made a number of other high quality edits to other science/medicine articles. From one medical student to another, good luck in your studies and happy editing.

Invitation

If you are interested in medicine-related themes, you may want to check out the Medicine Portal.
If you are interested in improving medicine-related articles, you may want to join WikiProject Medicine (sign up here or say hello here).

If you're interested in medicine-related content, then please feel free to bookmark or WP:Watchlist what we sometimes call "the doctors' mess" (but is open to anyone interested in medicine-related articles, not just physicians) at WT:MED. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:25, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References/your signature

Hello, I noticed your feedback about the new VisualEditor – glad you liked it! However, your signature does not have a link to your user or talk page, like most of them do. To fix this, go into your preferences and uncheck the box that says "Treat the above as wiki markup ...". I've encountered quite a few users who have had this problem, but I'm not sure why it occurs.

You might be interested in WikiProject Medicine, a project for working on medical articles on Wikipedia. As for referencing, it's easier to write out full references (with more than a URL) using the old editor than the new one at the moment, though I'm sure that will be fixed soon. There are a number of citation tools that generate a full Wikipedia reference using a PMID and/or a DOI. I use the citation expander (which I just used to expand the refs in the Adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitor article). Graham87 03:31, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing that ADP article. Also, I went into my preferences and changed that thing you mentioned. Hopefully my signature looks normal now. I am off tomorrow, so I think I will be spending some time practicing on putting in references, using some of your suggestions above, and also checking out some of those medicine projects. I feel like I can contribute, but I sometimes feel like I'm doing more harm than good because someone always has to come and fix/rearrange something I did. Thanks for your advice! :) Boonshofter (talk) 03:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Your signature is fine now. Another quick tip: when replying to posts on talk pages, indent them by adding an extra colon (i.e. one more colon than the previous comment) at the start of your post. See the edit window of this section for an example. I know this is very clunky, but along with the VisualEditor the Wikimedia Foundation are working on a new messaging system which should make it easier to participate in Wikipedia discussions.

If you have any further questions about Wikipedia, feel free to contact me. I've also found the editors at WikiProject Medicine to be very helpful for queries about medical articles; you can contact them at the project's talk page. Graham87 06:42, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I didn't notice WhatamIdoing's message until now ... we were both writing at about the same time! Graham87 06:55, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to articles

Per your question/comment Please accept my apologies in advance if I'm replying to your question the wrong way. I just clicked on "edit source"....

Clicking edit source is the right way to reply on a Talk page but you want to add a colon before each paragraph to indent from the previous comments. Look at the paragraph you are replying to and count how many (original post will have zero) colons precede that paragraph, then add one more for a prefix to each paragraph of your comments. Look at the source of this section for the below examples.

Example 1

Example 2
