User talk:Dan Wylie-Sears

I've been generating a bunch of stubs on molecular biology. Many of these probably should eventually be merged into other articles, with redirects put in their places. But I would hope for eventually -- later rather than sooner. Because molecular biology is a fast-moving discipline, we often don't know whether a particular protein will turn out to be much more important than it currently looks. We also often don't know what article a particular protein will eventually belong in. But we can be pretty sure that many of them will be worthy of their own articles in the long run, with lots of links between them.

Molecular biology is a fast-moving discipline, where Wikipedia seems to me to have an ideal niche: slower and more expansive than review articles, but much faster and cheaper than textbooks. Wikipedia also has the potential to bridge the gaps between levels of expertise, so that someone who begins as a casual reader about the subject can keep learning until they can make sense of the latest research results relevant to their concerns.

Welcome!

Thanks for your reply. You've got a good point about looking up acronyms you've seen somewhere. You may also be right that DN and DN (disambiguation) may be misnamed. I'm into sailing, so when I hear "DN", I instantly think iceboats, but that may not be universal :-). RoySmith 12:50, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your comment on my talk page, I have not begun work on the Raf article. I placed a link to it on my user page as an article I'd potentially like to start at some point, but I don't think I'll be getting around to that any time soon. If you had plans on writing the article, that would be great! —Brim 17:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this may interest you: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gatekeeper (politics). Thanks, HK 06:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on 10001 (number), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Gawaxay (talk • contribs • count) 16:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
