File:A-B-Z-DNA Top View.png to Commons

I would like to move the Pic File:A-B-Z-DNA Top View.png to Commons, but therefore I have to know the Source&Author, could you maybe add this information to File:A-B-Z-DNA Top View.png?  — Johannes Kalliauer - talk | contributions 21:09, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed, that is in the Internet in a lower resolution:

So I would like to know how you created the file.

I created this image sometime back around 2001. It was created using a Unix program used for X-ray crystallography. Since it was created so long ago (it was used in one of my published peer-reviewed scientific papers), I do not remember any other details. --Thorwald (talk) 02:32, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

X Company episodes

Which reference on the X Company page has the season 3 episode titles and airdates? 74thClarkBarHG (talk) 04:23, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first reference only has the first six episodes of the season. As for your second reference, IMDb is not a reliable source. 74thClarkBarHG (talk) 02:48, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Feel free to remove any episodes that have not aired yet. However, IMBb has been spot on (episode title and air date) so far and I would be surprised if they were suddenly wrong about the remaining four episodes. In my 10+ years consulting IMDb (an Amazon company) for upcoming film and TV shows, they are rarely, if ever wrong on titles and air dates. Anyway, like I said, if you really feel that the remaining four episodes will not have the titles and air dates listed, feel free to remove them and we can add them back after they have aired. -- Thorwald (talk) 03:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hubertus, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha AFD

Thank you for bringing some sense to the discussion ... this article was voted to be kept 4 years ago and the same arguments for deletion have been repeated again. They are very parochial and show an ignorance of a more global perspective Bebe Jumeau (talk) 18:41, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I agree with you (and the points you made on the main article's AfD. I also think all of the points made in favour of keeping the article in the original AfD are still relevant. -- Thorwald (talk) 21:27, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

External academic review and publication of Wikipedia pages

Hi Thorwald. In case you'd not come across it before, I thought I'd message to ask whether there are any wikipedia articles that you'd be interested in creating/updating/overhauling and submitting for external, academic peer review.

The WikiJournal of Science (www.wikijsci.org) couples the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the encyclopedia. For existing Wikipedia articles, it's a great way to get additional feedback from external experts. Peer-reviewed articles are dual-published both as standard academic PDFs, as well as having changes integrated back into Wikipedia. This improves the scientific accuracy of the encyclopedia, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. It also provides much greater reach than is normally achieved through traditional scholarly publishing.

Note that we do have to publish under real names, so if you don't want your real name associated to your username, you may have to choose atopic that your username has not previously edited.

Anyway, let me know whether you'd be interested in putting an article through academic peer review (either solo, or with a team of coauthors).

All the best - T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 00:51, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
