[edit] Lipid peroxidation

Sure, no problem. Should be done by tomorrow; sorry, I'm rather busy at work now. Best, Fvasconcellos 22:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Average prokaryote cell- en.svg

Hey there! I've let Mariana know—she does some stunning work, and I'd rather leave a message first and do it myself only if I have to. I gather you've left her a note yourself; maybe she didn't get it. Fvasconcellos 19:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

no messosome

Ok i have made the changes requested. sorry for the delay but i have been having a busy week, could you please update the articles? otherwise i will do it myself at some point next week -LadyofHats 10:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:CellRespiration.svg

Fixed :) The author specified a typeface (Helvetica Neue) that isn't supported in MediaWiki, and since he didn't specify a font stack, the renderer defaults to Bitstream Vera Sans, which is is not at all metrically compatible with Helvetica. I just switched it to Arial and it's fine now. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

lots of thanks to both of you --RegisFrey (talk) 03:25, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi TimVickers, thanks for participating in my RfA, which passed with all 26 participants supporting. I appreciate the trust that the community is put in me and I look forward to closing DRs and deleting obvious copyvios. Thanks, Anonymous101 ^talk 12:13, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:(E)-di-tert-butyldiazene.png

Hi Tim. I just noticed that an image you created, Image:(E)-di-tert-butyldiazene.png, has an inaccurate description. (E)-di-tert-butyldiazene is not the same as AIBN (the difference being methyl group vs nitrile). See for example: Image:AIBN-2D-skeletal.png I'd fix the description myself, but I'm not sure if you intended it to be AIBN and the name and structure are off. Just thought I should let you know. (And thanks, by the way, for your support on my RFA). Edgar181 (talk) 20:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cat'ing stuff

If you use it/want maybe take a look at HotCat. Preferences -> Gadgets. It makes changing/removing/adding cats rather more efficient (IMO!). Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Quinacrine mustard in Tryranothine reductase active site.png

Hi Tim! Shouldn't the above image be "Image:Quinacrine mustard in Trypanothione reductase active site.png"? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:03, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Nice categorization work ;) Glad to see you around here more often. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:03, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

No, it's not! I've made quite a few nasty typos myself... let's just say I'm glad "Preview" functionality has been added to the upload form :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

You called the empty gallery an empty category. That's all. Rocket000(talk) 02:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Heh, you didn't need to correct it. I was going to delete it anyway; I just wanted to make you aware of it in case you put the tag on the wrong page. Rocket000(talk) 02:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

No prob. :) Rocket000(talk) 02:28, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Hachure orange.png

This pattern is used into the legend of the map about GMO crops. It was made using a GIMP basic pattern. --Pixeltoo (talk) 13:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC) --Pixeltoo (talk) 13:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

No the category is not correct. It's just an orange pattern. I don't think that is symbole used in GMO. --Pixeltoo (talk) 13:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Carboxysome image

Hi Tim—sorry, but I don't think that's feasible. First of all, those micrographs could never be recreated as an SVG; the best I can do is trace them, and that would (a) not even approach the accuracy of the original and (b) make for a huge, massive file. Same goes for the molecular models. The largest model looks like it could be recreated from scratch, but it would still be quite inaccurate compared to the original render, and I'm a perfectionist :(

If internalization is the only thing you're going for, I believe we could simply embed the PNG into an SVG file with a layer for vector text labels. I'm not sure how useful that would be, but it would make translation quite easy. The resident mapmakers, particularly Sting (talk · contributions), will know more about the process; raster images of relief data are frequently embedded in SVG topographic maps. Best as always (and sorry I couldn't really be of any help), Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Right, I didn't realize you were only thinking of embedding—I thought you wanted the whole image redone as a vector! <facepalm> Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello.

Like this ? Note that I converted the image into JPG so the file weight is not too heavy, the quality being almost equal as the original image already showed JPG artifacts.

Greetings. Sting (talk) 18:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confessions to Tim Vickers

Our confession-We edit Wikipedia via sharing accounts, editing under behalf of one another.

Remember Standingout, MDCCCXLVIII-Well all accounts under Wikipedia came through our major longtime friend and confidant Martha Erin (she owns User talk:Marthaerin1888, User talk:Marthaerin1812 from Wikipedia, whose computer everyone shares very often. She created accounts for everybody including her and for everyone of us.

MDCCCXLVIII belongs to Martha's sister, Linda (she picked out MDCCCXLVIII because of the significant match to Wisconsin and toward the University of Wisconsin-Madison).

But somehow, sharing the accounts is being reconsidered because of the sock-puppet scandal which involves us. Which means-everyone should edit under one account while editing Wikipedia.

Martha Erin is choosing Marthaerin1812 upon her return (2010-earliest, and in 2017 at very latest) as her official account/permanent account.

Should we use our own computer to edit stuff on that Wikipedia rather than share accounts/computer?

We are currently attending UW-Lacrosse, graduates 2011 to 2014. And whatever answer you supply please make it very efficient.

Thank you Thank you for voting on my request for adminship. The result was unanimously in support, which really surprised and overwhelmed me. I'll do everything I can to make sure that it was justified. -Adam Cuerden

[edit] How to Better Establish Yourself as a Wikipedia Operator

Hey Vickers=3 priority questions: I represent the account MDCCCXLVIII on Wikipedia that you blocked for "abusing multiple accounts"-I highly regret not realizing accounts shared by several users could be blocked before I was blocked indefinitely. I am taking semiretirement from Wikipedia until August 2014 although could return 2011 at earliest. BTW-Marthaerin1888 & Marthaerin1812 are my sisters' accounts (Martha Erin is her name).

Wikipedia policies are not clear about sharing computers with others while editing Wikipedia (our mistake was sharing sister's computer while creating edits with Wikipedia). I apologize for that.

Secondly, my MDCCCXLVIII talkpage-on August 18 2008, about 1110 am Minnesota=Wisconsin Time-was protected for so-called soapboxing related reason. I wouldn't advertise while editing Wikipedia nor would I operate Wikipedia as tabloids. But somehow, some editor (name not mentioned under privacy reasons) got concerned about my editing under my talkpage, after which the talkpage was protected due to alleged soapboxings. Please explain how this "using talkpage for soapbox might have really happened.

And thirdly-upon returning to edit Wikipedia articles, do please take this asking? Wikipedia Unblock rules may be getting stricter (Marthaerin1812, my sister's account-was protected from the talk page due to so called "timewasting"-I wanna avoid timewasting and abusing unblocks when making requests)-please tell me how me and Martha can request an unblock in non-abusive styles and educate us on abuse of the Unblock right here, please Tim Vickers.

[edit] Leishmaniasis

Hi, i was going over the changes you requested for the life cycle, but there are some points i dont really have clear:

• your third point: "...only procyclic promastigotes replicate as they differentiate into non-replicative metacyclic promastigotes before migrating into the pharanyx,..."

is there a clear diference between procyclic promastigotes and metacyclic promasigotes? in the sense do they look diferent or i can use the sae promasigote image i have and i add only a note?

• i just added the granulocite invasion becouse someone else wrote me about it and becouse the wikipedia article mentions it. would you think it wiser to go back to the original version when it infects macrophages?
