[edit] BBI Content

Greetings! I added the note that the text was copied with permission of BBI just to make sure someone didn't worry about plagiarism. I'm trying to link to specific references to make sure that I'm not link spamming; unfortunately, since I'm not a protein expert, I'm hoping that people can link to some of the original works as well. A lot of the ubiquination pages are lacking in the references department. Hopefully one of the projects we're working on at BBI will encourage people to add more content to Wikipedia in this area.

[edit] Example of ProteinBoxBot config file

Hello, my name is Jonathan and I am involved in a university research project that has similar goals to your own project. I'd like to try out your bot. Do you have an example of a ProteinBoxBot config file as required by your bot? Masterhomer 15:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your interest. Sure, I put an example config file here. (Look at the source, not the rendered page.) But you should know that the server that is normally used to download annotation is currently down. We should have it back up and running next week sometime. Care to share any details of your research project? If we're playing in the same space, it would be great to coordinate so we don't duplicate work. FYI, I previously jotted down some notes for PBB here and here. Feel free to steal any ideas from there... Cheers, AndrewGNF (talk) 20:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Bot further reading references

Hi,

ok, I thought they were quite silly I'll just remove them next time. Nice to know you enjoyed Cystatin C, it's mostly medical. I'd appreciate any copy-editing for style/grammar etc. and of the molecular section, of course.

[edit] Extra space at top of articles with bot boxes

I noticed that articles with the bot's boxes tend to have a couple of unwanted line returns before the start of the article (see OR10G7). Is there a way to possibly fix that? I tried some simple tricks but it didn't work. Jason Quinn (talk) 00:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jason... Yup, we (and our testers) didn't notice that before we did a lot of edits. Fixing that issue for future gene pages is on our list before we do a mass run. Whether we do a bot to fix all past pages too is not yet determined. (On the scale of things, it seems like a relatively minor issue.) In any case, if you want to fix specific ones that are bothering you by hand, this is how you do it. Cheers, AndrewGNF (talk) 22:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
