Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Reverting vandalism

I can revert pretty quickly because I'm an admin, and I have a one-click "rollback" button that automatically reverts an article to the last version before the current vandalous editor got his mitts on it. If you aren't an administrator, there are still ways to revert vandalism that are easier than the way you described. For example, go to the Burger King history. See the evil edit by user:70.18.105.229? Just click on the version of the article just before that (the version edited by SDC), hit the edit button, and save it. That automatically saves the last "good" edit. You'll get a warning box that says you're about to edit an out-of-date version, but that's OK. It's what you want to do.

A slightly different approach, if you're looking at the page with editing difs, is just to click the link that says "earlier edit" and back up until you get to a clean version, then hit "edit" and "save," like I mentioned above. Does any of this make sense? Joyous (talk) July 2, 2005 20:47 (UTC)

Categories

Hello, Fernando! I fixed the category for you. To add a category, use double square brackets, and don't put the colon in front. Go check it out. I enjoy helping, by the way, so don't worry that you're bothering me. Joyous (talk) July 4, 2005 02:12 (UTC)

Thanks for the flower; you're very kind. While I'm thinking of it, there is a time when you do want to put the colon in front of the category link. If I wanted to link to a particular category, without putting your talk page in it, I'd do it like this.... Category:1946 births Joyous (talk) July 4, 2005 03:12 (UTC)

Thanks for corrections here; however replacing Slovak State with Czechoslovakia was incorrect as these were two different political entities. The red link is there as no one wrote an article, not because Slovak State didn't exist. Pavel Vozenilek 4 July 2005 04:04 (UTC)


Tobacco BY-2

Hi Fernando!

Thank you very much for your trust. :o)) I will try to support it further, but I am forced now to state here, that during this summer I will have very litle ocassions for any other cotributions. (I will be not in touch with Internet). So, I can only look forward for cooperation in future.

Could you have a look on that page again? I tried to rewrite one little passage to change little the meaning, but I am not sure how accessible it is. You will have surely better sensitivity for clear expressions.(You know, I am not a native speaker, so I try double, to make me sure about this) The change was there because these cells are not good model because they are well known, (regardless of it), they are important because they are perfect tool for biologists. (And then because of it they are well known :)) So to say, they behave as one man. If you will give them auxin for example, the increase of auxin acumulation inside the cell will be in every cell absolutely (or almost absolutelly) the same. If you would do it to the tissue of intact plant, then the cells have to deal with each other about this substance, they share it in uneven rate. In these closer to the surface, where you applied it, would be the concentration the highest and these under surface are depending how manny molecules will the neighbours give them. And that is unpredictable. And so on..
And yet, there would I like to ask you, for help in formulating, of some another element. The sentence: makes it very difficult to investigate the some problems in biochemistry is perfectly correct reformulation of sentence what I have writen. I only bit doubt about accuracy of it, what I have written. Then the inaccuracy by rewording could be even a bit more increasing. The key is, that biochemists have no problem that could be solved by BY-2 :), that are we - plant scientists (cytologists) who have a problems :) - and we can view them from more biochemical point of view, but still they are cytological. But just to write: problems in plant cytology wouldn´t be informative enaugh. I tried to express somehow, that this are some biochemical aspects of plant cytology. ( Uff, tireing :))) I only hope, that for you not as much :) ).Could you make same text synthesis of these features?
  • Yet again I thank you very much

Hello, hello! I am a partly here. :) Thanks a lot. I think, that that formulations perfectly match the content, only I had to move one sentence (which shows good understanding of BY-2´s significance, but assumes that this characteristics is stated by termin cultivar and in fact it should be aiming to the meaning of cell suspension...) But, well I think, that now it is really allright. Yet about me.. Now I am just joining this symposium --> [1] I am quite happy to be involved in it(It is absolutelly not automatic for such begginers and in fact yet nobodys like me), so I appology to you that I have such enigmatic reappearances here :)) when I have stated, that I will have to leave. But I in fact never know, how much time I will be able to save from being there, for anything else (So I, just for sure, am saing that I am not accessible). It (ACPD) will be finished tomorow, after that I will yet a day be staying here in Prague and yet again I will return to the PC the next week and after THAT week I will be in touch with wikipedia (perhaps) not until the autumn. .. Maybe, I would like to ask you for yet another collaborations, like for example on the topic of auxin itself (my research area). I would wish very much for that, be in fruitfull contact with you. That site could be extended really very much, because of the significance of that plant hormone ... but I would like to be abble to keep it as ease for understanding as possible...
So I will enjoy the collaboration as well, and only I wish, you will exculpate my offten not being here... :o), so thank you and have a good time, hi. --Reo On 21:21, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed an extinct breed of dog; I've put links to it (before the article was created) myself. Thanks for checking, though. Elf | Talk 7 July 2005 01:24 (UTC)

If you wish that the article be completely re-written, could you vote delete and start from scratch or similar, so that the entire content of the current article is wiped, and cannot be reverted to? ~~~~ 17:44, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Helen Merrill, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Punctuation

With regard to William Connolley, etc.: British English uses a full stop to indicate that a word has been abbreviated by being broken off in the middle, not otherwise: thus "street" becomes "st.", but "saint" becomes "st". Similarly, "Dr", Mr", Mrs", "jr", etc., don't take the full stop. American English seems to have followed the German and French method of using the full stop after all abbreviations, hence the difference between the two branches of the language. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Like all grammatical rules, of course, people often get it wrong here (just as I expect Americans often miss the full stop from abbreviations) — but I find it useful if only to disambiguate otherwise identical abbreviations (like the "St./St" example). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:27, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Auxin

Tahnks.

There will be lot of work. (auxin is my branch - and object of my research)

Let me apologize, that my contributions will be heavilly irregular. I am working lot more then 8 houres a day, and I started to contribute to the czech version [2]. But as usually, I am looking forward to the cooperation. :o) Have a great time!--Reo On 23:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
