One more vote for the coordinator of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject

Since two of the three editors nominated for Coordinator of the MCB Wikiproject declined their nominations, one more vote has been posted: should the remaining nominee, ClockworkSoul, be named as the coordinator, or should nominations be reopened? Every opinion counts, so please vote! – ClockworkSoul 17:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

My administratorship candidacy succeeded with a final tally of 81/0/1. I appreciate your early support. Results are at Wikipedia:Recently_created_admins#Durova. Warmly, Durova 21:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank You David

Thank you, the new image code on Cademuir is just excellent! It really fits to the template; as this template entry is labeled "Logo", I got a question: Shall I better use a photo like here or a logo like there? And do you have any idea to fix the font size bug? --Lazer erazer 10:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• By the way, isn't frame better than thumb? (because of the line breaking window symbol) --Lazer erazer 10:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Hi again, I got a third idea: I recently discovered a bug when using a line break inside the motto variable causing the fat text no longer to be fat... a solution? --Lazer erazer 10:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

A humble request for your opinion

Hello! I hope you are feeling fine. Recently, you expressed an oppose opinion with regards to my RfA. I would like to thank your feedback on this but I need another critical feedback from you. If you could spare a few minutes to voice any concerns you may be having with regards to my contributions to this project since my last RfA on this page, I would be most grateful. Once again, thank you for your time! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 05:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Cademuir

Thanks a lot for weighing in. I don't want to WP:BITE the well-intentioned young wikipedian who has made great efforts to improve the article, but I feel this could be a tricky article unless we keep a close eye on it, for all sorts of reasons. Thanks again. --Guinnog 22:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject Newsletter

The project main page has gotten a facelift!
When people visit the project, the very first thing that they see tends to be the project's main page, and with this in mind, the main page has been completely overhauled. To enhance readability the various "goals" sections have been merged, and a detailed "how you can help" section has been added. To increase accessibility for more established members, the links to any resources that were in the main body text have been moved onto the navigation bar on the right. Finally, the whole page has been nicely laid out and given a nice attractive look.
New project feature: peer review
I'm proud to announce the addition of out newest feature: peer review! The MCB peer review feature aims serve as a stepping stone to improve articles to featured article status by allowing editors to request the opinions of other members about articles that they might not otherwise see or contribute to.
Project progress
The article worklist
We’ve had quite a bit of progress on the worklist article in the past month. Not only has the list itself nearly doubled in size from 143 to 365 entries, but an amazing three articles have been advanced to FA status, thanks in great part to the efforts of our very own TimVickers! Remember, the state of the worklist is the closest thing we have to quantifying the progress of the project, so if you get the chance, please take a look at the list, pick a favorite article, and improve it!
Collaboration of the Month
Last month's Collaboration of the Month, cell nucleus, was a terrific success! In one month, the article went from a dismal stub to an A-class article. Many thanks to all of the collaborators who contributed, especially ShaiM, who took on the greatest part of the burden. This month's Collaboration of the Month, adenosine triphosphate, isn't getting nearly the attention of its predecessor, so if you can, please lend a hand!
Finally...
The project has a new coordinator, ClockworkSoul! The role - my role - of coordinator will be to harmonize the project's common efforts, in part by organizing the various tasks required to make the project run as smoothly and completely as possible. Many thanks to those who supported me and those participated in the selection process.
ClockworkSoul, project coordinator 18:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
If you wish to opt out of having the newsletter posted on your talk page in the future, you may add yourself to the opt out list Newsletter concept and layout blatantly "borrowed" from the Esperanza newsletter.

Jeff Galloway

David, You left a message on my talk page. I am on a Wikibreak, as I noted on my talk page, so I haven't been my checking messages. Thanks for correcting Jeff Galloway's birthdate. Sorry for the late reply, but I am on a break. Thank you for helping on Wiki. I don't have time to help right now, so I appreciate folks who keep the ball rolling. Take care, KarateLadyKarateLady 13:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean by "personal agenda" ?

Dear David D, What do you mean by "personal agenda" ? I do not see that consulting the results of the NORVIT trial consist of "original research". And what is wrong with including the results of "original research" in my edits on Wikipedia? Do you contend that this runs counter to the Wikipedia policy ? The edit concerning the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine was made after I receieved an email from Dr. Barrett confirming what I say. Does writing to Dr. Barrett to confirm a point constitute an unacceptable type of "original research" which cannot be used on the Wikipedia website ? May I respectfully ask you not to interfere with my edits unless you can show then to invalid ? I strongly feel that my edits should be included on the Wikipedia site until Dr. Barrett appropriately edits his website. He has not so far replied to an email I sent him about folic acid. I must ask you once again not to interfere with any edits I make unless you can fault them on a factual basis. Yours sincerly, Robert2957.

Robert, look at the article critical of quackwatch and Barrett by Kauffman. He makes many specific criticisms of Barrett's articles, and others, but they are not discussed in detail. That is the level of critque that is expected for these articles.

With respect to your persoanl agenda, you seem agrieved by the fact you were misled by Barrett's web site and now you wish to bring this example to light. Wikipedia is not the forum for such criticism. It would be much better if you started a blog or a myspace type web page. David D. (Talk) 18:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
