Carcinoma

Thanks for your work on carcinoma. Could I echo James' message above - only secondary sources (reviews/textbooks) are acceptable. Have a look at WP:MEDRS, which outlines the requirements and gives a good amount of useful guidance. JFW | T@lk 22:38, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will go back in and remove 11 references to articles of original research (from the 19 previous references in the new section). This will leave review articles and a few supporting relevant articles from well established academic journals. Thanks for your advice.Chaya5260 (talk) 20:02, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. We make quite a big thing about this but it really pays off in terms of article quality in the long term. Great to have you around.

Nomination of Nature of life for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nature of life is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nature of life until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article..Barney the barney barney (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Technical writing

Hi Chaya, I noticed you're continuing to add much too technical content to articles even after being warned not to do so in some of your previous edits. You're essentially creating a WP:COATRACK by going into discussions about general reproduction biology and mechanisms, etc. when the article is about a single species. This kind of writing wouldn't be accepted in scientific publications (key concept there is being concise), and isn't appropriate for Wikipedia either (see WP:TECHNICAL). For instance, we don't explain in every article for Chordate species that they have a notocord at some point in their life. That becomes redundant and unneeded and is the equivalent of what's at issue here. I'm happy to help with guidance on this, but the main thing is to actually stay on topic. I don't know what your background is, but the kind of writing you're displaying is a problem we often run into when teaching undergrads in science how to write, so you definitely wouldn't be the first. Hopefully this ends up helping with content you add in the future. Kingofaces43 (talk) 13:40, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I got carried away in this manner. I plan to scrutinize my planned additions in the future to avoid doing this. Thanks for the advice.
I've noticed quite a few of your recent edits are running into the same issues I described awhile ago to you. It looks like you've started copying and pasting part of this edit across different articles when going into description of parthenogensis and thelytoky is largely out of scope for a taxonomic article. I highly suggest keeping such broad descriptions as you did in your first paragraph to articles actually focused on the topic such as parthenogensis. If you come to a species or taxonomic level article, first make sure the content isn't already included in the article as what happened at termite, and use wikilinks instead of going into a full-blow explanation of terminology.

Welcome, but be careful

Welcome to Wikipedia. Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of these guidelines are:

  • Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style.
  • Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest. Many new editors cite themselves mainly. That behavior is unacceptable and generally is removed.

If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing, --Smokefoot (talk) 23:35, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ovary into DNA damage theory of aging. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 19:02, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple overlap

Hi, welcome, and thank you for your many detailed, knowledgeable and well-cited contributions. However, I see you are adding long, similar sections on transcriptional regulation in cancer to different articles on genetics, including:

We should not be repeating material many times across different articles. It will become hard to maintain (any update would need to be made repeatedly, for instance) and people reading different articles will be disturbed by the repetition.

Whether these are WP:UNDUE is a matter of opinion, but that they are similar is not in doubt. It would make more sense to create a single article on that topic, and to link to it with a brief summary in each of the other articles.

There are also various minor matters that ought to be fixed - for example, the additions contain boldface text, which they shouldn't be using.

Could you please stop the series of additions until we have discussed and agreed a suitable way forward. Thank you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:27, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The exact (and inappropriate) match of the listed and struck-out (now that I've processed them) articles has led me (per WP:BOLD) to factor out the duplication as a new article, Regulation of transcription in cancer, and to link to it from each place. I have indicated where further work is needed to remove duplication. Please don't do this again. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:56, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This also goes back to one of my previous comments above in how we avoid WP:COATRACKING content (e.g., not explaining meiosis each time it comes up in another organismal topic). Kingofaces43 (talk) 16:41, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks, I hadn't spotted that. So it's been going on a while, then? I'll take a look at the meiosis thing. It shouldn't be too hard to do things a little better. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:51, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I actually haven't looked at meiosis for awhile, but that's one of the first types of edits I recall from over two years ago since it was a broad topic they write about while adding it to other articles. I haven't been checking up on this much since my conversation with Chaya back then though. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:03, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that topic was "Multiplicity reactivation"; another candidate for overlap is "Inbreeding depression". Probably there are others. These don't seem to be quite so copy-and-paste as the recent edits, but they do seem to be rather coatrackish in articles on other topics. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry that I had not looked at the talk page until now. I understand that it was inappropriate to have made multiple overlaps. I will stop entering the series of overlapping additions as you requested. I see your method of correcting my previous additions, and agree with it. I have just started looking at your alterations; your wording for a brief summary referring to the new article; and the new article itself, Transcriptional regulation in cancer. I have some concerns with the wording for the brief summaries linking to the new article and may make edits in these summaries shortly. Thank you for your thoughtful work on this.Chaya5260 (talk) 22:56, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:32, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The reworked section in DNA methylation is certainly an improvement, but it is now very long compared to all other disease/physiological sections in that article, so we have gone around in a spiral. If the new material does not belong in the Regulation of transcription in cancer article (which I'd have expected, perhaps as a chapter named Methylation), then we should create another new article, say Methylation in cancer or Hypermethylation as a cancer mechanism, something of that sort. Right now it again looks like a WP:COATRACK in the DNA methylation article, where after all cancer is just one of many sidelines. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:52, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will shorten it. I may move some of it to Regulation of transcription in cancer. Thanks for your commentsChaya5260 (talk) 16:11, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I plan to first move most of my reworked section to a new article DNA methylation in cancer, and then shorten the section in DNA methylation. Chaya5260 (talk) 19:02, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you help on Conserved sequence?

I wonder if you could take a look at this article? I suspect has enough overlap with your area for you to be able to improve it somewhat. Whether it can be refactored I don't know, but perhaps you could update it and add some much-needed refs. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:36, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I fixed the CpG islands section, including citations.Chaya5260 (talk) 02:04, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gene mapping, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bases (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Abiogenesis into Adaptation. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Diet and cancer, you may be blocked from editing. When adding content about a human disease, check the clinical review literature first - read WP:MEDRS and WP:WHYMEDRS. Zefr (talk) 03:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching this Zefr. Diannaa, given your "final warning" above, they are still directly copy pasting from sources, like in this edit and this source. This repair pathway results in increased mutation frequency and altered mutational spectrum.
I'm not seeing any response from Chaya after all these warnings. KoA (talk) 16:47, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This violation is not egregious enough to warrant a block at this time. Chaya5260, please write content in your own words and don't copy from your sources.— Diannaa (talk) 18:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
