[edit] Welcome

Hello, Dockingman. Here's a belated welcome to Wikipedia. Here are a few good links that you might not have read yet:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Thank you for your contributions. CWC(talk) 02:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mexican Motor Mafia

This article was nominated for proposed deletion 3 minutes after you created it. I've cancelled the proposed deletion. (In case someone else wants to delete that article, it's worth noting that GameTunnel award pages would count as a "non-trivial published work" about the game, per Wikipedia:Notability (software)#Criteria.) Cheers, CWC(talk) 02:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sitagliptin

I've reverted your edit, since the subjective remark you referred to had already been removed 2 edits prior to yours – I'm curious: was it still there when you last visited the page? As for the free base/phosphate salt question, drugbox and article data (including the structural diagram) usually refer only to the free base. Fvasconcellos 18:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• I guess we probably started the edit at the same time, or I'm not sure what happenned... The pharmaceutical giant was there, but now I can't find it with diffs. I think it took me a little bit to modify the article because I got distracted in the middle, but I'm not sure how would that make a version disappear... Thanks for the info on the free bases though, I wasn't sure how to deal with them -- dockingman^Talk 18:47, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

That was probably it – I guess I must have finished my edit before you finished yours, so you didn't get an "Edit conflict" message. Anyway, welcome! Fvasconcellos 20:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Molecular docking

Hi, my name is Maxim, i work for Quantum Pharmaceuticals, may I ask you why you delete our information and link to Quantum docking. The development of this program is a milestone in docking area, it does not use training sets and scoring functions because it is pure physics based. It produces superior results in comparison with competition, even for molecules of absolutely novel chemical classes. You can find more information about technology at www.q-pharm.com and www.q-lead.com and even test IC50 calculation on-line freely. So it a really interesting, innovative tool, having nothing to do QSAR and other statistics based approaches. I think we all should be honest ane let people know about the real breakthrough in docking. If you don't like the way I place this information, please correct it and may I kindly ask you not to delete it. Kindest regards, Maxim

The way you are posting links to Q-Pharm looks definitely like spam. The page of Quantum Pharmaceuticals was already deleted twice for not complying with the notability required for inclusion into an encyclopedia. I don't know if you are aware of it, but Wikipedia is not a place to self-advertise your own products. Besides that, your last modification to Molecular docking did not look like it had a neutral point of view. Please understand that this is not a place for advertising, you can go elsewhere for it. This is not a personal attack, we're trying to improve the Molecular docking article and your addition just doesn't do anything better for it. Besides, "docking without scoring"? What's the point of generating a conformation if you're not going to give it a score? That doesn't make sense to me (and anyone in the docking field). Even if the scoring is physics-based, it's still a score. Where is the comparative study of your software versus state-of-the-art software published? I'm interested in reading into it. -- dockingman^Talk 17:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guy Rubino

My pleasure - I try to fix things like that as I catch 'em, and I do like hanging around the Newpages list from time to time.

Happy editing! --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 07:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Follow Me

Sorry I really don't know too much about it, my Chinese friend said that this is where she originally learnt English and that she still thinks of Francis Matthews as her first English teacher! mr_uu 13:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] db-repost

The rules have changed (or been clarified) a bit for {{db-repost}}. It now specifically only refers to items previously deleted as a result of an XfD discussion. It cannot be used on a previously speedied article, only articles that have an AFD deletion. Fan-1967 22:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move for St. Anne Church, Goa

You put this request in the 'uncontroversial moves' section at WP:RM, but also placed the move proposal template on the article. (BTW, it goes on the talk page, not the article itself.) For now I've removed the proposal from the uncontroversial listings. If it really is uncontroversial, please relist it; otherwise list it in the main section and discuss it with other editors on the talk page. Thanks! Opabinia regalis 01:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
