Protein familes

Hi! User:Alexbateman pointed me in the direction of your page. There are a large number of automatically generated pages for protein familes linked on User:Cboursnell/Sandbox. Please feel free to create new pages from any that interest you, or to use the content in these pages to improve existing pages. If you edit these pages to indicate which you have done, and also let me know which you have worked on, then this would be a great help. Many thanks --RE73 (talk) 11:56, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Great! I will make a list of my changes and place it with other technical comments on your talk page. My very best wishes (talk) 15:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I think for those families which form part of a multi-protein complex we should consider each case on an individual basis. With some a separate artcle for each subunit may be appropriate, with others one article could describe the whole complex. As you say, we need to follow the guidelines for notability here. If an article about a whole complex becomes too large it can always be split at a later date. Thank you for tidying the infoboxes on NADH dehydrogenase, this seems like a good solution in this case. On some other pages we may want to go one step further and put them all in an expandable bit at the bottom (sorry, I don't know the technical term for this!) as I have done in Helix-turn-helix. In this article I felt there was nothing to be gained by having the infoboxes readily visible, but the information is there should people wish to see it. I'm going to take a closer look at PF10409 (C2) as it may be that I can improve the Pfam family. I think in general fo clan members it would be ideal to have a page for the clan/superfamily and link from this to articles for the individual families. However, there will be cases where there is not sufficient information readily available to do this. --RE73 (talk) 12:59, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

All right, let's do it on the case to case basis. I agree with your solution in Helix-turn-helix. Alex simply forget to include PF10409 to appropriate clan (compare to SCOP). These C2 domains are the same superfamily or possibly even from the same family - this is rather arbitrary (do not mix them with these "C2" domains. Almost forget, the List of glycoside hydrolase families... I agree with removal of the boxes. However, we need to keep some text for individual families per WP:List. My very best wishes (talk) 17:59, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I have now added PF10409 to the C2 clan. Sorry for the delay on this - I've been pretty busy lately. Your work with the protein family pages is really appreciated. Thank you. --RE73 (talk) 09:06, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

My pleasure. I will work more with protein families, bioinformatics and molecular modeling pages, as time allows. Right now I am quite busy with my "original research". My very best wishes (talk) 14:07, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I am currently looking at the families which you suggested should be in clans. This will take some time! I am also going to try to build a new family from CarnocyclinA. We'd really appreciate it if you could email any such suggestions for new families, clans or any other changes to pfam-help@sanger.ac.uk - this way we can keep track of requests easily which may become lost or overlooked on my talk page. Many thanks --RE73 (talk) 11:24, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely. Be prepared for a long list. The determining superfamilies/clans is a very complicated business even if you know 3D structures. As Murzin said, he had to be very "conservative" in deciding which protein families are evolutionary related (belong to the same "superfamily"), rather than simply have a common "fold" in SCOP. My very best wishes (talk) 15:20, 23 March 2012 (UTC) Done. My very best wishes (talk) 19:13, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
	Hi. What you did was a brilliant idea that anyone can understand. Psychiatrick (talk) 22:22, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Do you mean that I stopped commenting on administrative noticeboards? Yes, that was certainly a brilliant idea. Speaking more seriously, I now understand much better the system (who is who and who is doing what on wiki). You know three rules of Gulag prisoners: Ne ver', ne boisja, ne prosi ("Do not trust, do not fear, and do not beg"). There are also three don'ts of wikiediting. I would call them: do not care, do not dispute and, most importantly, do not talk. Happy editing, My very best wishes (talk) 14:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Some stroopwafels for you!

Membrane topology

My very best wishes, I don't understand why you deleted a section with no obvious problems from Membrane topology. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:51, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

This is very basic and important subject, but it was so poorly described that I thought it would be easier to rewrite from scratch.My very best wishes (talk) 02:59, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough. And welcome back! Sorry you were having troubles last time. RockMagnetist (talk) 04:55, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Main trouble is that I simply do not have time. A lot of articles in this area are in a very poor condition, and there are few to none people to improve them. My very best wishes (talk) 16:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

A familiar problem! RockMagnetist (talk) 17:17, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Just want to say

I never read one of your posts without thinking "Best user name evah!" Rich Farmbrough, 12:17, 30 May 2012 (UTC).

Thank you. It helps. Then I must keep it. And I am sorry for your trouble. Just drop it. If this editor could not survive such environment, then who can? My very best wishes (talk) 13:46, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Force field

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you recently tried to give Force field (disambiguation) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Force field. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Also, as per WP:FIXDABLINKS, it would have been very helpful if you had checked the other Misplaced Pages articles that contain links to "force field" and corrected those links before moving the disambiguation page. You even left the disambiguation page with a link to itself that should have been fixed.

From your edit summary apologizing for your lack of time, I guess you knew you weren't doing the right things, but you did them anyway. Just as a reminder, there is no deadline, so you could have waited until you had time to get it right. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:07, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Ugh, the "copy-paste" was not a problem, but I did not realize what would happen with links as a result of my first move because this will not be a "REDIRECT". Sorry. Now I have to fix my mess. Will do later. My very best wishes (talk) 15:36, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts. By the way, I do love your user name, too. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

My very best wishes is taking a WikiBreak for his academic commitments.
