[edit] Oops
"Pages I have worked on", etc. belong on your user page rather than here. Perhaps not a good idea, but I have moved everything from here to your user page.
If you make a mistake page, such as /HLA-CW, to get rid of it, mark it {{db-author}}. Blanking the page is not a good idea. -- RHaworth 16:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Serotype articles
My time on-wiki is too limited at the moment for me to continue to press you to add explanatory information to your various serotype articles in order to make them accessible and understandable to a non-specialist reader. I see you have removed my {{confusing}} tag from one of them again, and I won't add it back yet again. I maintain: These articles are not written in a style that an educated, non-specialist reader will understand. You seem to know exactly what the articles are talking about, but I would wager that 90% of the people who might encounter them will not.
- more than 90%, I would be willing to bet 99% of readers do not understand the meaning of mtDNA haplogroup X. It is the nature of genetics that it exists, whether or not we comprehend 1, 10, 50 or 100% of it really depends on our effort, for it simply exists and requires us to explain it.
But that's all I'll write on the subject, as I'm incapable of making the articles readable on my own, and you seem to be happy with them in their current form.
- Not true, Rome was not built in a day. It takes more than a few to build a good page, it takes quite a few to build 100 good pages. To these pages need to be added associated diseases and conditions, and linkage to other disease loci, proper references need to be made. Its alot of hard work and then the wording can be fine tuned. I expect these pages will be reader ready in maybe 6 mos, if I am lucky, a year as it took the Triticeae page.
Good luck in your editing. — Brian (talk) 04:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- (Responding to your comments within mine:) OK, cool. I look forward to seeing them when they are polished and ready. — Brian (talk) 05:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dispersing talk page posts
I have responded to your message on Talk:Coeliac disease. Could you please make a habit of not interspersing your comments with mine? This makes the flow of the discussion very hard to follow. I have no objection if you number the points in my posts so you can address them in order with easy reference. JFW | T@lk 16:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] More on talk pages
You must really try to leave shorter talk page messages, as on Talk:Coeliac disease. Between Sunday and today it has grown by over 20 kilobytes.
I do personally leave posts linking to recent journal articles, but I'm not sure if we need your personal opinion on each and every study that you've linked. Personally, I am not planning to respond to every post. Please try to stay to the point. JFW | T@lk 12:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

- Your last post was again 4700 bytes. Is there really no way you could condense this into a form that a bear of little brain can understand without demyelinating his frontal cortex? JFW | T@lk 14:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

- I would like to remove some of the old posts as with the 2 new papers these are obsolete. I can do this now, or we can wait until the archive is put together. I did actually remove the end of that post, (see history). If that is acceptable I will remove older material that is obsolete or redundant with new posts.Pdeitiker (talk) 15:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
