I hope all went well with the trial of the new redirecting function of PotatoBot. I'm looking forward to see the next step (with that Drugbank data i presume). If I could help in the process in some way, feel free to ask! Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:01, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
The trial looks good to me. The results are at Special:Contributions/PotatoBot, but you'll probably know this. Please tell me if you can spot anything. Now for the complete "Merck run" as soon as I have the permission, and then yes, I plan to do the Drugbank data. Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:11, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Yes, there are a few unnecessary log entries resulting from situations I didn't forsee (like "Argatroban: redirecting to Argatroban failed, page already exists"). Thanks for working on the log! --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
I'd also like to ask, could PotatoBot possibly create disambiguation pages for red-linked names of combination drugs, such as suggested here? It hasn't reached consensus yet, but when (or if) it does, I hope it could be added to the code as well. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:14, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for reference, can I get few more say 2-3 reference, then I think I will be able to restore that article. KuwarOnline Talk 18:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for links I will take up this article once I complete my current task. please provide as much as reference u have. Thanks KuwarOnline Talk 13:49, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much. I've never created an article about a company and don't know much about this work. The links you listed above seem to be mostly press releases and the like, and probably don't meet the requirements in Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. The reasons why this article was deleted in the first place are given in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taj Pharmaceuticals – if the people there are right, the company simply isn't notable, which means that the article shouldn't be re-created.
Re-creation is currently blocked, which indicates that someone tried to place an advertisement for this company on Wikipedia. There should be no adverts here, which is another reason why I'm not sure you should re-create the article.
If you want to edit Wikipedia, I'd suggest starting with less controversial topics to get some practice, and return to Taj Pharmaceuticals once you know a bit more about Wikipedia's requirements for a good article. If, on the other hand, you are only interested in Taj Pharmaceuticals, you should perhaps read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and reconsider whether Wikipedia is the right place for you.
To make more people reading an article, it is best to add links to it from other articles. Be careful only to introduce relevant links, such as from a medication to the company that invented or sells it. Adding links to only remotely related articles (such as, say, a link from ACE inhibitor to a company that produces an ACE inhibitor) is considered spamming and will probably be removed.
To make an article attractive, avoid spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, and try to use good prose that is easy to read. Avoid hard words if possible, or link them to their articles so that people can find out what they mean. Look at some of the articles listed at Wikipedia:Good articles to get an idea of a good layout. When you edit an article, look back at it after a few days to see if someone has corrected your edit, and why. I found this practice can teach a lot about writing good articles.
If by a website that is blocked you mean a Wikipedia article: If you only want to edit such an article once (for example to correct a typo or add a sentence), ask on the article's talk page for an administrator to do the edit. Add {{Edit protected}} (including the {{}}) to your request to attract an administrator's attention. If you want an article completely unprotected, use the page Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, but be prepared: You will have to give good reasons why you think that anyone should be able to edit that article again.
Do you know who owns that picture? In other words, is it copyrighted? If yes, use on Wikipedia is unfortunately prohibited by law. Anyway, I'll try and have a look at the article when time allows.
Your user page looks nice. Is your native language really Swedish, although you were born in India? You've had an interesting life :-) And (I hope I don't sound impolite) are you sure that your level of English is "professional"? That's rather a high standard (like journalists and scientists who publish in journals), and I can spot a few typos/grammatical mistakes on your user page. Perhaps you were just distracted from writing. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 15:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello
Hello this is the same person.
We had a little talk if i remember
I was wondering if you can comment and see if my article can be saved.
No, I'm not an admin. And looking at the deletion discussion, I'm afraid I can't do anything to save the article. Anyway, I've just noticed you got blocked for sock puppetry. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm actually wondering why the article was ever split off from monoclonal antibody, because it is fairly short compared to many other articles submitted for GA. Furthermore, the "prefix" section is extremely short, and I was wondering if it might not benefit from either expansion or merging. JFW | T@lk07:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the "Prefix" section, I don't think it can be expanded – the prefixes really don't mean anything. Merging isn't a good solution either: As it is, every part of the name has its section (except for the stem -mab). Tagging the two "Prefix" sentences to another section would make them harder to find and result in an a somewhat incongruent header like "Substem for target, and prefix". I've (reluctantly) been thinking of this section as a case of IAR, but I'm open to suggestions, of course. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 11:00, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi... As you may recall, you vectorised the image File:Rhodocene dimerisation.PNG for me for the rhodocene FAC. Nergaal, one of the editors who has commented on the FAC, has noted a mistake. The fused Cp's should have the H in the "endo" position (i.e. H is inside, the other Cp on the outside). So, for the cyclopentadiene on the left, there should be an "up" bond (currently occupied by the second cyclopentadiene) to H and a down bond to the second cyclopentadiene. For the cyclopentadiene on the right, the bond incoming from above should come from the first cyclopentadiene and there should be a bond to H shown pointing diagonally "down". Does this make sense? If so, would you be able to make the necessary corrections? Many Thanks. EdChem (talk) 09:10, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Anypodetos... Thanks again for fixing the dimerisation picture so fast. I was wondering if you would be willing to vectorise another synthesis for me? I have just uploaded File:Synthesis of cation of ((C5tBu3H2)Rh(C5H5))BF4.PNG. As you can see, I have pieced it together from various sources so the fonts are different sizes and inconsistent, different formats, etc. If you could do a vectorised version that would be great, making the following corrections:
the reagants in the first step (1. [(C2H4)2RhCl]2 and 2. TlC5H5) should have subscripts and be presented in the same font and size as other 'over arrow' pieces of text
the tBu symbols in all the structures should be consistent, ideally with superscripted and italicised t's
I don't much care how the vinylcyclopropene is drawn; it needn't be at the odd angle it is in the diagram I modified
the equilibrium should use actually equilibrium arrows
I don't see why they need to be stoichiometrically accurate; the earlier diagram for the 1,2,3-tri-tert-butylrhodocenium cation was not. However, if you strongly feel they should be included I have no great objection. Cheers. EdChem (talk) 13:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Done. Never mind, I'm just used to being stoichiometrically correct from school. Please tell me if you spot factual errors, rendering problems or anything else you don't like in any of the images. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 19:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I just stumbled across your profile coming from the PIE root, and I have to say you did an amazing job on those PIE linguistics articles.
Regards
--Codrin.B (talk) 01:25, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry I didn't realize you had changed the Paricalcitol page back to the original version. Earlier, I accidentally pressed save too early before I was finished. I revised the page again, but if you feel it was better the original way, I won't try to change it again.
No problem at all. In fact, good of you to catch the difference between ergo- and cholecalciferol. I didn't realise that paricalcitol was a D2 analogue because it doesn't make a pharmacological difference; but of course it's a different chemical. I'll try and get rid of some of the long chemical names in the lead without sacrificing accuracy. (It took me about a minute to realise that 1,25-dihydroxyergocalciferol is simply the D2 analogue of calcitriol...) Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Icodextrin
On 20 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Icodextrin, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that icodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used to keep tissues from gluing together after surgery? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
I do not understand why you removed citations in the article ocreotide. Ocreotide can cause diabetes (it was not written, (high glucose level is not excatly diabetes), it can also cause hypotyroidism but I do not see where it was written. According to some study on rats, it can cause also erectile disfunction, you removed this too. I hope we will find an agreement. I also think that the sources in german should not be used in wikipedia.en, anyway I did not delete them. Bye —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moscone (talk • contribs) 18:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Thank you for your message. Let me explain my reasoning:
I don't have access to the full text of this article, but from the abstract it seems that the study found "reduced leg glucose uptake" and a "hyperglycaemic effect". Even if all eight subjects developed diabetes, the sentence in Octreotide now is wrong in saying "Most frequent adverse effects (more than 10% of patients) are ... diabetes mellitus...".
As far as I know, hypothyroidism is the same as hypothyreosis which is mentioned in the following sentence. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
A study in rats, conducted about 13 years ago, does not say much about erectile dysfunction in humans, let alone support the claim it occurs in more than 10% of patients. Unless I missed something, the clinical trials on which the approval of octreotide is based found no (or few) cases of ED.
Regarding the German language references: I agree that English ones would be preferable, but I don't have access to relevant English reliable sources. If you object, you should replace the references with English ones rather than delete.
Ok, I understand. Is it possible to write these side effects as less frequent (<10%)? I guess that hair loss is more frequent than 10%, there are several studies that link hair loss to ocreotide, can I use the studies that I cited? Thanx --Moscone (talk) 08:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
Well, there is no exact rule for which side effects to state. The relevant style guide, WP:MOSMED#Drugs and medications, says "Extract the pertinent information rather than just dumping low-level facts in a big list." which I'd say means add (1) very common and (2) very severe side effects.
About hair loss: The article already says "Data on the frequency of alopecia vary", based on two post-marketing sources which don't really agree on the issue. If you've got really good studies saying octreotide causes hair loss, by all means include them; but please be aware that, say, a study from 10 years ago finding hair loss in 3 of 10 included subjects does not outweigh Phase III and post-marketing data. Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
Corepressor
Hi. I was wondering if you could do me a favor. Some time ago, I created the Corepressor article. Just recently, a German interwiki link was added. I then noticed that the German article was nominated for deletion. I tried to fix it myself, but I noticed for good reason that they have become quite annoyed with me ;-) I was wondering if you could take a look at this sandbox version and correct my very bad German. An additional problem is that the subject is inherently complicated and the English version probably needs to be simplified further. If so, please let me know and I will try to make the English version more understandable to a wider audience.
I leaned from the German version that there is a closely related meaning for corepressor pertaining to prokaryotes that was not in the English version. Based on the German version, I updated the English version and I would like to reciprocate. It would be ashame to loose a worthwhile German entry that taught me something. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 19:30, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
I'll have a look at it, but not today. By the way, dewiki is rather deletionist – they tend to delete based on rationales like "Is this supposed to be an article?" –, so don't be disappointed in case we don't succeed. Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 20:34, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply and no rush. If you think the deletionists will prevail in the end, don't spend too much time on it. Regards. Boghog (talk) 04:24, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
As far as I am aware, transrepression only refers to proteins that repress other proteins whereas a corepressor could be a protein or a small molecule. However based on a very recent paper (PMID21496643), the current definition in the transrepression article probably needs to be extended. The current definition describes a "tethering" transrepression (GR → NF-κB → DNA response element) whereas the Chambon paper demonstrates that the glucocorticoid receptor can directly repress gene activity (e.g., GR → DNA response element). In other words, a protein can directly repress a gene. In a way, this is nothing new since this is what prokaryotic repressors do, and for that matter what NF-κB does in the presence of GR. Nevertheless the transrepression definition as currently defined in the article needs to be tweaked. Boghog (talk) 17:20, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I just noticed your excellent edits that go a long way to fix my horrible translation. I realize this takes work and I am deeply appreciative of your efforts. I will keep my fingers crossed that the German Wikipedia will see fit to keep the article. Again, thanks for your help. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 18:41, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
My pleasure. It was instructive, biochemically as well as linguistically, and you've done quite a few things for me in the past :-)
Regarding transrepression: To me this looks like GCs meet the definition of a corepressor, no? Should the two articles be merged or at least interlinked? (But I'd rather leave that to you; my biochemistry knowledge is rather patchy.) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:36, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I appreciate that you have just shown me the way at fen-phen and think I that can only learn by doing what you say. We had a saying at medical school about procedures:
On 31 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Olaflur, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that olaflur, a toothpaste ingredient for the prevention of caries, is synthesized from cattle's tallow? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi there again. Chemists, the main consumers of this material, call this stuff chloramine-T, not some complicated amide nomenclature created by big brother! Please revert and run the redirect the other way. Yikes (and thanks).--Smokefoot (talk) 21:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
I propose we use the same classification as others "Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to pharmacology. Strong interest from non-professionals around the world. Usually a large subject with many associated sub-articles. Less than 1% of pharmacy-related articles achieve this rating." Thus well INN is of interest to many I doubt it is generally interesting. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
