[edit] WikiProjects

Well done for your edits on coagulation. Please add references as needed - the article could still do with more sources. I have changed the spelling of VKORC as we generally only use uppercase for proper names (see WP:MOS).

Depending on your background, you might want to join WP:MCB (molecular and cellular biology) or WP:MED (medicine), two of our active WikiProjects where interested editors collaborate on series of articles. No qualifications necessary. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. JFW | T@lk 06:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits on GR, I'm a trypanothione person myself, but it's good to see a fellow thiol enthusiast on Wikipedia! All the best Tim Vickers (talk) 16:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

Your recent edit to Parasympathetic nervous system (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding vandalism, or link spam to the page or having an inappropriate edit summary. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the sandbox. If you made an edit that removed a large amount of content, try doing smaller edits instead. Thanks! (Report bot mistakes here) // VoABot II (talk) 03:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Visceral Parasympathetic Mediated Response to Automated Message

I don't understand this automated message completely. I spent hours writing this page and worked hard to edit and re-edit it and by no means included anything inappropriate. I did remove a few sentences that were present in the article but at the same time I expanded a great deal upon the existing work. I found this article in a Medical gtoup's list of articles that needed attention, doesn't this mean that they want you to edit and reform the article? Furthermore, I admit to using the "preview" button to check my work but I always find something new to edit after submitting my article. Ok fine, I had to change it twice.

Can someone explain if it was the repeated editing that triggered this message or if it was the fact that I removed a few existing sentences? Thank you for helping me understand and comply with wikirules. Orlandoturner (talk) 10:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll look into this. Something to realise is that all the previous versions of a page are preserved in the "history" tab, so even if a bot reverts something, it is not deleted. Deletion is only done by administrators for things like copyright violations and nonsense pages. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I can't see any obvious reason for this and what you did was absolutely OK, it might simply have been that such a large chunk of text being added at one time is unusual! Something that would help is to leave an edit summary describing in a few words what you did in an edit. It is a great help to other editors and also helps you keep track of what you've been doing. If it happens again leave a note with me and I'll talk to the bot operator. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
