Deletion

I don't understand why our page got deleted? We went on tour with Green Jelly, who has a page. The mascot has talked to James Maynard Keenan, who has a page. Weird Al has a copy of our album. We have historical significance. Our music gets played on Reachdown Radio. The Toadies said they liked our song and that they also did a song about getting a girl pregnant. Saying we have "No credible indication of importance" was hurtful. A lot of people really like us.

Hello,

Just noticed that I have a month old notification that you've sent me an email reply; however I cannot seem to find it, not even in the rejected/spam paths.

Wolfson College Cambridge

You keep deleting my edits to the Wolfson Cambridge page regarding Eric Monkman. He is a television star and cultural icon. The most famous person to ever attend Wolfson. You can see him on University Challenge Series 46. He is the captain of the Wolfson team, leading them so far to 3 wins in 3 matches, and will appear at least twice more on television. A simple Google search for "Monkmania" will turn up results demonstrating his fame and popularity. For the good of the people, please refrain from erasing his legacy in this cruel example of censorship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Therealericmonkman (talkcontribs) 01:15, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Want to become permanent editor on Wikipedia

hi dodo good day i want to become permanent editor on wikipedia will you guide me the ways to become permanent with wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.165.84.186 (talk) 09:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Then you need to stop spamming. But since all you have been doing is adding in SEO links, I see little chance for you to become a permanent editor on Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:51, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
If I may, i'm gonna chime in here, This is what you want to do to become a permanent editor on wikipedia, 1. Don't do what you did to get banned, 2. Special:Createaccount I'd recommend this but its not required if you want to be a permanent editor (Unless your IP changes or if its shared) and 3. Look for what you enjoy editing in and edit there but make sure to provide a reliable source to most of what you put here on wikipedia, and 4. I'd recommend signing your posts by using this [~] but 4 times over, or clicking the button towards the bottom of the editing page, thats pretty much all you need to know about becoming a permanent editor. Have a great day!! Wikipediauser123456 (talk) 17:46, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Message from Nathan Sapala

Hi Gogo, your difinition of describing my page Nathan Sapala Werep as "inappropriate pages" does not seem matured. I did not just create for pleasure. I have wasted my time and effort in creating that page. I even explained why it should not be deleted. You seen to be arrogent and hostile. I suppose, lets understand people and work to help people.

Just deleting something that someone has spend his time creating is doing INJUSTICE. With that I wish to ask if you could please undelete the pageI created and put it back.

Hope you would understand.

God bless.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathan Sapala (talkcontribs)

Copyvio warning after speedy?

Hi Gogo, another NPPer hit Trust medical transportation with a G11 as I was looking up the company's website, and you canned it before I could modify the speedy to add a G12 since it was a straight copy of http://www.trustmtrans.com/about.

Recreating the Koumine page

Earlier you deleted the Koumine WP page, for the A1 rapid deletion reason. There is good reason to reinstate this page, whatever its original content might have been.

Koumine, formula C20H22N2O2, is an indole alkaloid isolated from flowering plants of the genus Gelsemium,[1]: p. 104ff  a plant native to the subtropical and tropical Americas, and southeast Asia. It has increasingly studied activity for potential anti-anxiolytic properties that derive from its ability, systemically, to induce muscle relaxation of varying intensity, resulting from its observed agonism of the mammalian glycine receptor, activation of which leads to an inhibitory postsynaptic potential in neurons following chloride ion influx. Despite potentially deleterious effects, recent pharmacological research has suggested that the biological activities of this compound may offer opportunities for developing treatments related to anxiety, cancer, and other conditions, with ongoing research including attempts to identify safer derivatives and analogs to make use of the compound's beneficial effects.[2]

Koumine is an monoterpenoid type of indole alkaloid,[3] and a close relative of the natural product gelsemine, which is also present from the same natural sources.[4] The gelsemine class of alkaloids are some of a wide variety of the alkaloid and other natural products that have been isolated from this genus of plants.[5]

As noted in recent review, koumine is found in, and can be isolated from, the subtropical to tropical flowering plant genus Gelsemium, family Loganiaceae, which as of 2014 included five species, where G. elegans Benth is native to China and East Asia, and G. sempervirens Ait., the type species, is native to the Americas.[5] As these authors note:

Approximately 120 alkaloids have been isolated and identified from Gelsemium, with the predominant indole alkaloids including gelsemine, koumine…. Gelsemine is the principal active alkaloid in G. sempervirens Ait., and koumine and gelsemine are the most and second-most dominant alkaloids in G. elegans Benth. Gelsemium extract and its active alkaloids serve a variety of biological functions, including neurobiological, immunosuppressive and antitumor effects, and have traditionally been used to treat pain, neuralgia, anxiety, insomnia, asthma, respiratory ailments and cancers… In contrast to morphine, when administered intrathecally and systemically, koumine, gelsemine and gelsenicine have marked antinociception in inflammatory, neuropathic and bone cancer pains without inducing antinociceptive tolerance. Gelsemium and its active alkaloids may produce antinociception by activating the spinal α3 glycine/allopregnanolone pathway… [which] support the clinical use of Gelsemium and suggest that its active alkaloids may be developed to treat intractable and other types of pain, preferably after chemical modification.[5]

Koumine's biosynthesis, as of 1998, is thought to proceed from strictosidine (isovincoside), the common precursor for essentially all monoterpenoid indole alkaloids—itself deriving directly from tryptamine and mevalonic acid-derived secologanin.[3]: p. 629  From strictosidine, the biosynthesis proceeds through four intermediates—including koumicine (akkuammidine), koumidine, vobasindiol, and anhydrovobasindiol,[3]: p. 629  the final biosynthetic step thereafter involving anhydrovobasindiol oxidation and rearrangement.[3]: p. 629 [1]: p. 132ff  The related alkaloids gelsemine and gelsemicine also derive from this pathway [gelsemine from anhydrovobasindiol via the further intermediate gelsenidine (humantienine-type), and gelsemicine from gelsemine, via aromatic oxidation and O-methylation].[3]: p. 629 [1]: p. 132ff

This alone is surely enough material for a stub, and an infobox and other information can be quickly added—there are 36 more citations that I have only begun to explore, search "Koumine [TIAB]" at Pubmed. Can you reinstate the article, using this content, so that I can begin supporting the article? In doing so, can you place the original text somewhere (in Talk, or hidden in the main article space), so I can see it? You are better positioned, historically and technically, to make this change. I am a subject matter expert, much more than a technical expert at WP. Note, 4 of the 5 citations given above are secondary sources, so at present, the article is better sourced per WP:VERIFY than most alkaloid articles, and the tens of pages at these reviews devoted to this specific, unique molecule—recall, in chemistry, one moved bond or added atom makes a world of difference, in patents and in practice—as well as the 37 articles with this compound in the title or abstract make clear that it is sufficiently notable. It may replace its earlier studied relative, gelsemine, in practical importance, soon. Disclaimer, I do not publish in this area of natural products chemistry, but edit in it and all areas of the subject, as professional time permits.

  • After an unsuccessful proposal to automatically grant IP block exemption, consensus was found to relax the criteria for granting the user right from needing it to wanting it.

Technical news

  • After a recent RfC, moved pages will soon be featured in a queue similar to Special:NewPagesFeed and require patrolling. Moves by administrators, page movers, and autopatrolled editors will be automatically marked as patrolled.
  • Cookie blocks have been deployed. This extends the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user if they switch accounts, even under a new IP.

Is it original. It is copyright protected. I am the author. I own the copyright. It is instructional. I see so much garbage on your site but an article than can help people get deleted.

Miscellaneous

  • Over the last few months, several users have reported backlogs that require administrator attention at WP:ANI, with the most common backlogs showing up on WP:SPI, WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. It is requested that all administrators take some time during this month to help clear backlogs wherever possible. It should be noted that AIV reports are not always valid; however, they still need to be cleared, which may include needing to remind users on what qualifies as vandalism.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative is conducting a survey for English Wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works (i.e. which problems it deals with well and which problems it struggles with). If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be emailed to you via Special:EmailUser.
