I had seen that, but I was under the impression that there were changes between what I see on Wikipedia and what was published in the journal, no? Are there any content differences between the two at the moment? czar  20:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the published version has used more complicated language than the Wikipedia version dose. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:45, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Right, so to my original comment, I'd be interested in knowing what exactly is more complicated about it, if such a piece were to be written czar  23:13, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • What about contributors to the page that are not listed as authors on the paper? I didn't do an exhaustive survey, but it did look like there were some minor contributions by editors not among the paper's authors. Also, I just wanted to link to PLOS Computational Biology's Topic Pages. It's a similar program -- I'm sure the authors of this article know about it, but many readers probably don't.

    • They are listed as contributors in the paper with a link. There is a certain not set in stone bar for authorship below which one is no longer an author. Was aware of the computation bio work. These articles were written off wiki than added to wiki rather than written on wiki and published in a journal from my understanding.

Hi הסרפד, that would be because someone is going on a deletion rampage of quotation templates. You may voice your thoughts here. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:41, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
