Wiki Journal of Medicine

I've a suggestion for you. The Wikiversity Journal of Medicine accepts submissions of medically-related images for publication. The format is to give some scientific background, describe the history of any previous versions of the image, references and sources, and the decisions made for how to present the information. It's an interesting way of having a searchable (on google scholar) cite-able record. It was featured in the signpost last week too (link).

  • E.g.: Häggström, Mikael (27 March 2014). "Diagram of the pathways of human steroidogenesis" (PDF). Wikiversity Journal of Medicine. 1 (1). doi:10.15347/wjm/2014.005.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI (link)

I think your diagrams and their interactive versions would be great candidates for submission.

I think its an interesting experiment in bringing together the Wikipedia and Academic communities so I'm also submitting {{Eukaryote_gene_structure}}. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 01:15, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... sounds like an interesting concept. I'll look into it. Honestly though, the vast majority of previous revisions of my images were from me checking how the SVG would render on wikipedia since I didn't know about the SVGcheck tool at the time. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 17:41, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think previous versions refers to other people's earlier images on the same topic (if any at all!), i.e. why was there a necessity for your better image. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 23:39, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, hahahaha. Ok I see now. That makes me less embarrassed about submitting some of these then. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 14:28, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I thought I'd let you know that it you're still interested in the possibility of submitting a figure review (either an existing diagram or something new), let me know. There's now another example of the sort of content that such an article can have (e.g. Gene structure). The journal's gone through a few updates so the submission process is now a lot easier. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 12:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there. I do plan to submit something within the next few (~3-6) months, but don't expect to do so in the more immediate future since I've got a lot of off-wiki things to deal with at the moment. I left this thread unarchived because it's on my to do list. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 09:01, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for making and maintaining the beautiful neurochemistry diagrams. I learned about several Wikimedia features by reading Template:Catecholamine and trace amine biosynthesis's source. Seeing the attention and skill that you put into making this technical artifact so that can be flexibly used in tens of articles, including articles in other languages, really brightened my day. Thank you for all that you do here. --Chkno (talk) 07:13, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad that you find it helpful! It takes longer to create annotated images relative to placing text in the image file itself, but I think wikitext annotations are preferable due to the utility that they provide. In any event, I appreciate your kind words. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 00:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
You deserve about a thousand more barnstars than I'll ever be able to give you. Thanks for all that you do and for improving the Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid article. I love how this title just rolls off the tongue. I can't wait to use it a couple of times in my casual, real-life conversations. Wikipedia is lucky to have you. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐  ✉ and Merry Christmas 13:00, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, thanks. I appreciate it. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:45, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid

On 22 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in healthy adults, HMB has been shown to increase exercise-induced gains in muscle size, muscle strength, and lean body mass, reduce muscle damage, and speed recovery from exercise? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Gatoclass (talk) 13:31, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on getting more than 5,000 hits and thus qualifying for addition to the Stats listing for January 2018. David notMD (talk) 14:54, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neat. I guess I wrote a good hook for that entry. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 05:27, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
FYI - Back in the 80s and 90s I was in R&D for Clintec, an enteral nutrition company, joint venture of Baxter and Nestle. I designed close to 20 new enteral products that competed with the Ross/Abbott products, including products with high arginine, fish oil, MCTs and hydrolyzed protein. But no HMB. David notMD (talk) 08:25, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting! Since the first study that reported HMB's clinical effects in humans was published in the mid-90s, the lack of HMB-containing products isn't particularly surprising though. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 10:50, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Day LA

Hello! I was very stoked to see that you RSVP'd for Wikipedia Day LA. I think that we'll have a solid turnout, but it it's anything like last year's event, there won't be a lot of Wikipedians. People tend to be interested in Wikipedia, though, which is very cool.

Give me an inch and I'll take two miles: Do you have any interest in doing a lightning talk? It can be on any subject related to the movement (I am saying that with proper sarcasm). The editing you've done is fascinating.

AND I wondered if as a statistician you could help me to address the fact (FACT) that the figures used on the List of best-selling music artists are completely inaccurate? That the formula is intrinsically flawed? I know this because I've worked in the music industry and in media forever, and there's no such thing as worldwide charts; there's no way to compute sales based on global market share when the constant varies hugely from year to year and country to country. It's all original research, poorly referenced and full of false equivalencies. I can't even interact with the two editors who essentially own the page anymore - they are completely ridiculous. (Read the Beatles/New York section here if you are up for being entertained: Talk:List of best-selling music artists/Archive 37 - I gave up after that and mentally blocked the page. It was going to make my head explode.) The outside world believes and quotes the article, and perpetuates the inaccuracies. I am convinced that you could look at the page and analyze it in, like, two seconds flat. (Please feel free to ignore me. I'm just taking advantage of my newfound knowledge of your existence.)

Nice to meet you here. Look forward to meeting you in the flesh! Julie JSFarman (talk) 08:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Julie. I'm going to be very busy IRL until March 10th, so I won't be able to look at and comment on the issues you discussed with that page until then. As for the lightning talks, what do those entail specifically (i.e., what length, topical restrictions, etc.)? Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 23:31, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, and sorry for the delay. (I very rarely have a RL, but did this week.)
Lighting talks are five-ten minutes, and can be on anything related to Wikipedia. ("Related" is loosely defined.) I would love to hear your thoughts on systemic bias on Wikipedia; collaborating with editors who have a demonstrated expertise; statistical models of reliability (if such a thing exists). BUT, again, you can talk about whatever is of interest to you. We'll have a podium set up, but last year people sat on tables to talk - it's all pretty informal. (I'm less obsessed with the aforementioned page; I've kept myself from looking at it for a week or so, and that seems to help.) Thank you! Julie JSFarman (talk) 07:09, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@JSFarman: Now that I actually have time for WP-related work, I'll take a look at that page you linked. As for the lightning talks, I can't think of anything in particular off the top of my head that's worth talking about. If I come up with something, I'll opt to do one of those.
From looking at the article and the archived talk page that you linked as well as the sources for the article, this appears to be a really complicated issue. My opinion doesn't really count for much since content inclusion is determined solely based upon its relative coverage in reliable sources; my opinion is technically WP:OR. However, if you're convinced that these sources aren't WP:RS-quality or are being given WP:UNDUE weight, your best bet is to take this issue to the WP:RS noticeboard or WP:NPOV noticeboard and explain why the sources are unreliable or being given undue weight; if there's consensus among the editors who weigh in on that discussion that there is an issue with RS or NPOV, that content is likely to be removed. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 22:21, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am so sorry - I neglected to put your talk page on my watchlist and only just saw your response. Thanks for looking at the page and thanks for the very sane advice. Hope to meet you on Saturday! JSFarman (talk) 16:33, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cough cough

WP:ORCP is <<<that way. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ad Orientem: LOL. I appreciate the sentiment, but I actually don't really want to wield the mop at the moment; perhaps I will sometime in the future though. Most of my interest on WP is in content creation, although I do spend a fair amount of time gnoming Wikipedia's backpages. Also, sorry about the delayed reply - I'm just catching up on my talk page messages now due to being stupidly preoccupied with RL lately. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 22:03, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How dare you allow the triviality that is the real world take precedence over an online encyclopedia! That said, I can understand not wanting the mop. But when the time is right, do step up please. The steady attrition is going to start impacting the project in the not too distant future. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

I left a few comments on the FA comments page for your β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid article. After you leave a comment in response to my questions, I will enthusiastically endorse the article to be a FA. I'll even write the blurb for the Signpost about the promotion. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐  ✉ 12:53, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Barbara (WVS): I replied in your section on the FAC page. Sorry about the delay. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 22:01, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Barbara (WVS): Thanks for your support! When you get a chance, could you place '''Support''' –  at the beginning of your last comment? That's the standard format for a support !vote at FAC. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 01:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Keep up the good work! I'm very happy you finally got your second FA!

Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid has been scheduled as today's featured article for 28 May 2018. Please check that the article needs no polishing or corrections. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 28, 2018. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:59, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ealdgyth: Thanks for letting me know and sorry for my delayed reply; I was out of town from the 22nd to the 29th of this month. I'm glad to see that it was displayed on the main page without issue though. The article was very recently promoted to FA status, so no revisions were necessary as of when it was on the main page (2 days ago) or now. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 20:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Norepinephrine/levartenol

Hi Seppi, I'm not sure I agree with your revert here. I was not familiar with the term myself, but looking it up, it has seen substantial use in the literature. Also levarterenol redirects to norepinephrine, so the term really ought to appear in the article somewhere. Looie496 (talk) 13:51, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Looie496: they’re not actually synonymous since it refers to a specific stereoisomer: [1]. That’s an alternate name for levo-norepinephrine. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 00:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Beta-Hydroxy_beta-methylbutyric_acid

Why did you remove my copyedit of the HMB introduction? Everything I removed from the intro is repeated word for word in the article body, and shorter introductions are what I’m accustomed to seeing on Wikipedia. What makes the HMB article different? Dogshu (talk) 03:09, 29 August 2018 (UTC) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beta-Hydroxy_beta-methylbutyric_acid&oldid=856827744[reply]

I wanted to ask if you have a job vacancy. I'm currently finishing my MSc in biochemistry at the University of Zurich. Btw, where do you work? Monochromator (talk) 17:35, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Monochromator: Thanks for the feedback.
I actually don’t work at a biotech company or molecular biology lab; I definitely would’ve tried to help you out if I did though. I just find molecular neurobiology incredibly fascinating, so I’ve done a large amount of editing on Wikipedia in that subject area. Anyway, good luck with your job search!

Would it be possible to indicate why you reverted edits on amphetamine? You did not include any explanation. As I review the edits, it seems your revert removed constructive edits. Spyder212 (talk) 21:16, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
