[edit] Edits to Viral Entry

Thanks for your contributions to Viral entry. Unfortunately, the result is way too dumbed-down. In particular, you have removed (e.g., Adsoption, Entry Pore) and replaced it with inexact verbiage. Overall, the tone of the artice is very inexact and not well referenced. E.g., the mention of food coloring diffusion is not so much good pedagogy as reference-writing, i.e., WP:OR. The change of numbered steps to Wiki sections seems to also reduce the value of the presentation. Can you please restore the value present in the article before you added to it?

p.s. Try putting templates in your Sandbox.

PhD Dre: looking into it, gathering some sources and rewriting ASAP, will be ready in a few days

You rock! Your updates are excellent! May I apologize for my negative tone when I first reacted to your edits? My feeling has been that Wikipedia articles should create a "bridge" between college education and research literature, in part by assisting with the vocabulary. Now that "adsoprtion," et al., are available to the reader -- and so nicely framed, I would add -- the article is now a great service to education. Thanks again for your contribution!

[edit] chronic since 1992

I am nosy and was just wondering what you have that's chronic, if you don't mind saying? email me if you prefer. Sorry if I'm too nosy:) Merkinsmum 00:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

PhD Dre: Ahh, it is just an allusion, I'm not afflicted with a chronic disease or anything. Those pos-pressure suits keep us protected quite well from the viruses I study.

[edit] Details for jpg of sample HM47

Hi- I was curious about how the image for "sample HM47" was obtained? I'm a post-doc working with viruses and when I send my samples off for analysis, the EM's that I get for my samples aren't nearly as crisp. Is this an embedded sample (ie epoxy versus cryo) and do you have any info on the stains used (ie uranyl acetate, osmium, etc)? They are very nice images! Is this a lab strain? Thanks in advance!-Julie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.154.147.159 (talk) 22:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Emo

Don't you think you're being a little bit Emo, leaving Wikipedia "forever?" Yes, Wikipedia has problems, like anything. That's why we need to stay and make it better, not emo out. Come back and bring on the Microbiology. Ed Sanville (talk) 14:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
