[edit] Acanthocardia

A tag has been placed on Acanthocardia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 172.166.92.143 14:19, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Units

Please don't introduce errors into articles, as you have done here.[1] These things can take a long time to catch. Raymond Arritt 15:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I'm being stupid (it happens quite often) but isn't 33 °C equal to 91.4°F, not 59.4 °F? I didn't do it to be malicious! Just before that in the article it says "15 °C [equals] (288 K or 59 °F)". They can't both be right can they?

Wait, I understand now, I was being dumb. Sorry! I'll be more careful in future.

[edit] Sarcina and disamiguation

Hi, PhilMacD. fyi, I have reverted your recent edit to Sarcina (disambiguation) because of concerns with the disambiguation manual of style.

  • MOS:DAB#Red links specifies that red linked entries should only be added if another article already contains the link; Sarcina ventriculi has no other inbound links, yet, so it is not a valid entry until another article points towards it.
  • MOS:DAB#Individual entries specifies that:
    • There should only be one (1) navigable (blue) link in a dab entry. So only the most relevant (in your opinion) of extremophile, bacteria or pH should have a link, not all three.
    • External links should never (yes, it says it that strongly) be included in entries or descriptions of disambiguation pages as they are for disambiguating Wikipedia articles, not the World-Wide Web.

Thanks for all of your hard work. Happy continued editing and best wishes. Gwguffey (talk) 18:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

  • You have right. I know it but often I forget to use it. I usualy edit/write articles for the grrek (by language) Wiki, but as I opened both artcles for methane I decided to make some exchanges between as my knowledge of both languages allow me to do so. I spend more time to the greek one because I think they are generaly and relatively much behind. But there is much room for improvement to english one too. If I knew well other languages I would try to offer to their Wiki too.
  • Thank you for your help anyway. Can I freely ask for your help, when I need it for thw Wiki?
  • I read your page and I saw that we have some commons in cosmotheory.
  • If you need any kind of my help you're welcome to ask it freely.
  • Personal contact is also optional if you wish to from my side.

[edit] Plasmodium

THanks for catching that recent incorrect edit. Its a very common misstatement in the text books that only 4 species infect humans. The running total currently exceeds 210 species - not 125 given in that edit. DrMicro —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.121.108 (talk) 18:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] T. microti

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. The info I got was from the book "Clinical Microbiology made Ridiculously Simple", 4th edition. Unfortunately I dont know the proper format for references, nor do I know how to put references into wikipedia. Any help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabronimus (talkcontribs) 12:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
