[edit] Epigenome tag

Hi, thanks for your contributions! I find academics often aren't appreciated enough by other Wikipedians, but well referenced contributions like yours are valuable!

Anyway, I was thinking Image:Epigenome NoE tag1.gif should probably be a template rather just an image, and it could therefore include links. You could create a sub-page of your own (e.g. User:Lankenau/Epigenome) giving a brief description of Epigenome and the work it's doing on Wikipedia, how its peer review of Wikipedia works, etc, which could then be linked from the template. I am willing to help create the template if it all sounds a bit confusing!

Additionally, whether we create a template or not, the template/image should be placed on an entry's talk page, rather than on the page itself.

Oh, and I assume you created the image yourself, and therefore you release it under the GNU FDL, or you allow it to be used by Wikipedia and any derivative work (including commercial use) or you release all copyrights? If this is not the case, the image can not be used.

Thanks again, Joe D (t) 02:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

RESPONSE:

Hi Joe,

thanks for discussing the Epigenome NoE tag on my Wiki discussion page. The use of it in two articles (Chromatin and Epigenetics) has been only of piloting character so far.

I agree that the Image:Epigenome NoE tag1.gif might better be a template. But as an "academic" I have no clue of how to make a template out of our Epigenome NoE tag. Your step-by-step help would indeed be highly appreciated, and we should do it together with Susan Bale. 1. How do we create a sub-page e.g. User:Lankenau/Epigenome ? 2. the template/image should be placed on an entry's talk page - Could you explain details and help out on this?

3. The image was created by the webmaster of the Epigenome NoE and myself. Thus, no licensing problem. 4. To your information: We also received confirmation from the WikimediaFoundation granting the Epigenome NoE to use the Wikipedia globe logo.

Dear Dirk Lankenau, Thank you for your kind words about Wikipedia. We hope that you continue to find the site a useful resource. I doubly appreciate your interest as I graduated in the biotechnology field and worked for a while in flower plant improvement research (somaclonal variations). Your site appears most useful and I'll be glad you help improve Wikipedia in your field or specialization. The Foundation gives you the permission to use the Wikipedia-globe logo for tagging weblinks on the site http://www.epigenome-noe.net/ to specific articles in Wikipedia as requested in the mail below. Best regards Florence Devouard
