[edit] Re Phage ecology

Hi. The Phage ecology article you've recently expanded is excellent. I'd like to propose a fact from your expansion that the phage particles are the most numerous category of organisms on the planet for the "Did You Know infobox" on the main page of wikipedia. This will assure greater traffic at the page you've expanded. If I could suggest adding in-line citations (see WP:CITE for the details and instructions) and maybe one or two more external links and the article would be (IMO) a sure hit. Thanks. --Antorjal 05:22, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 9 September 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Phage ecology, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Congrats!! --Srikeit (Talk | Email) 15:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Microbial Biology references lists

Assuming you don't already know, those lists are up for deletion. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Massive volumes of references

You've created or contributed to a number of phage-related articles, which is great, but you tend to include very large numbers of references and further reading, to the point where several articles you've worked on consist exclusively of references and links. Wikipedia is not a collection of links and is not an article database, so this kind of content isn't really what we're looking to create and host. However, you've also made some good contributions and clearly are well-read in this area, so it would be great if you could convert these long lists into referenced article text. If you are more interested in maintaining these lists, you'd probably be better off hosting them elsewhere.

The specific articles I've found that are problematic, excluding the microbiology lists, are phage meetings, phage monographs, the entire further reading section of phage ecology, the entirety of phage experimental evolution and cyanophage. Opabinia regalis 02:43, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I concur with this. Having been a student of Gunther Stent's, nobody can say I'm not interested in the details of the subject. But this is altogether inappropriate for WP. The world could use a comprehensive information resource on the details of the subject, but WP is not the place for it. I see phage.org is now http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/. WeP can not be used for your website. I have just reduced the section on phage meetings, and will be looking at the others. I am not sure the article on phage monographs is suppportable at all, even in principle. Se WP:LIST. DGG (talk) 17:42, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Phage.org has not moved. Phage.org uses URL forwarding. It's been in the same place for essentially a decade. Sabedon (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phage experimental evolution

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Phage experimental evolution, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
