damage to oxypnictide

Managed to repair damage to oxypnictide ↗ caused by "patent" edit today. Rod57 (talk) 03:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC) Rod57 (talk) 16:57, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
:Hi no problem! The article was a realy useless stub and after searching literature I found out that the hype for a new superconductor in 2008 was somewhat stupid because the material is a known superconductor since 2006. But for the next few months there will be a lot of groups doing the stupid game of mixing all kinds of Oxides with all kinds of arsenides and dope it with flouride to break the record. This will bring no further scientific knowledge, but brings you onto nature or science. So the article will grow! But know I will go back to the friends at Phoenix and the TEGA instrument, to look what they have.--21:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
::You've been very quick to call things stupid. I don't think either use was justified. Let's see what results arise in the next year. Rod57 (talk) 23:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Not the subject is stupid, but the work to mix all kinds of things with all kinds of things to get into nature. The subject will create also good science, when people try to understand what the underlying physics are and if cuprates and oxypnictide have the same physical background. Upto now only a class of substances was found, this is OK. To synthesise all members of the group is no science, this work for a robot! I had to do stupid work like this for my PhD, thats why I do not like it!--Stone (talk) 06:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Powder in Tube

A proposed deletion ↗ template has been added to the article Powder in Tube ↗, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Gold coin ↗ edits

Hi there,

I do appreciate the comments you have made to Gold coin ↗, but I think your edits will be stronger based if they were sourced. I encourage you to find sources and to improve the section you changed by adding them. Let me know if you need help.

Thanks,
Miguel.mateo (talk) 13:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

: Hi Miguel, The 3 or 4 statements that have been queried were there before my edit (which was mainly to add a subsection heading and move one paragraph out of the subsection. I think the original contributors could easier justify their contributions. Rod57 (talk) 17:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

:: True, but it would be very difficult at this stage to find who did those contributions. Since they have been challenged (asking for sources) the whole section could be removed in the future if sources are not provided. I thought I would let you know, since you might help to put it back on track. Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 22:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

:::Thanks for letting me know. I've provided a source for two of the challenges in Gold coin#Counterfeits ↗. The other two seem too obvious to need a source. Do you think they could be untrue or just not worth mentioning ? Rod57 (talk) 14:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

::::Hi again, I have removed one of your sources, since this is a site that basically clones content from Wikipedia, hence it is not reliable (is the same as sourcing the same article). Once thing to remember is that Wikipedia is read by any sort of folks, so what for you might seem obvious, for others may not. I would suggest to find sources for it or to remove it since it can be seen as speculation without the proper sources. Let me know if you need help. Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 15:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

:::::thanks, & I do need help. When you insert the fact template at the end of a paragraph are you challenging the entire paragraph, or just the last sentence or clause ? (It might help to put the words being challenged into ''italic''.) I have split two of the paragraphs at what I hope are logical places. I still feel most of the content you have challenged is easily verified if anyone doubts it (although it seems self evidently true). Could you move this discussion (or rather your explanation of what exactly you are challenging) to the article talk page so others can contribute ? I dont mind what you do to the article itself.

International Space Station ↗ DAMs

Hi there! Thanks very much for your addition to the ISS article regarding recent debris avoidance maneouvres. I've moved and merged your paragraph into the 'Orbital debris' section (which is where the rest of the DAM material is found), but I was wondering if you could please verify the reliability for the sources you used; the ISS article is featured, and so all references have to be very reliable ↗ to maintain the quality - if you could provide a rationale for them on the talk page, or provide alternatives, that'd be great.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|1=reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits ↗ on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial ↗ at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed ↗ to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism ↗ or BLP violations ↗, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process ↗). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here ↗.  Courcelles (talk) 22:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Parkinson's disease (possible neuroprotective effect of Q10)

I have reverted your last addition: while the reference you provide is reviewed is only a primary source. Secondary sources used in the article have already balanced your source with others and concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the neuroprotective effect of Q10. Per WP:MEDRS ↗ a secondary source prevails. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 13:35, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
:Could you possibly point me at the later sources/studies please. Do they show the 2002 study was faulty ? Rod57 (talk) 13:39, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
::Take a look at the Nice-guideline page 53, which talks about two articles on Q10 (one being your addition) and outlines some of its problems finally concluding ''"The small neuroprotection trials performed with co-enzyme Q10 in PD so far have been encouraging, but further evidence is required before it can be recommended routinely."'' and ''"Co-enzyme Q10 should not be used as a neuroprotective therapy for people with PD, except in the context of clinical trials."''
::Additionally in Obeso-2010: ''"Several molecules have been proposed as potential neuroprotective agents against Parkinson's disease. Molecules that reduce dopamine cell death include monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors (selegiline, rasagiline), anti-apoptotic agents (TCH346, CEP-1347), glutamate antagonists, promitochondrial drugs (coenzyme Q10, creatine), calcium channel blockers (isradipine) and growth factors (GDNF)113. However, none of these molecules has definitively shown neuroprotective effects in clinical trials114. This may indicate the ineffectiveness of these compounds, but may also be a consequence of the limitations of clinical-trial design115—use of the wrong dose, recruitment of too broad a patient population or selection of inappropriate endpoints".'' Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

::I have been working in this article for some months and any help is welcomed. However I am trying to use only high quality secondary sources (reviews in peer-reviewed journals) which are the preferred sources per WP:MEDRS. I would greatly appreciate if you could back up any assertions introduced in the article with this kind of sources. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 13:51, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Thanks, I don't have access to the full text of Obeso. I'm not sure that its dismissal of CoQ10 is justified since the 2002 study was randomised and did show a statistically significant effect at 1200mg/d. Secondary sources may be preferred but the primary source seems justified by the data it provides. It's only a clinical study - not a medical recommendation. Most disease articles mention treatments under investigation. Rod57 (talk) 14:03, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Sadly the PD article doesn't seem to link to the NICE guidelines so I haven't read them, but the quote you give seems to support and even justify my addition rather than oppose it. Can you say what problems they found with the 2002 study ?
::::It is cited many times: see those citations begining with "The National Collaborating Centre for Chronic Conditions, ed (2006)". We follow exactly the sources when we say: "Several molecules have been proposed as potential treatments.[40] However none of them has been '''conclusively''' demonstrated to reduce degeneration in clinical trials.

TNBC disambiguation

Hi, I saw you move/disambiguation work. I must say, I don't think it was done correctly.

Firstly, there's a factual issue. "TNBC" ''was'' the correct name of the programming block; it was never called "Teen NBC". Even though that's what the name came from, the initialism was never spelled out, even partly. Therefore moving it creates a factual error of the title, and needs to be reverted to ensure that readers aren't mislead.

Secondly, a disambiguation page is unneeded. As there is only one other article on the page, which is at a title other than the initialism, a disambiguation hatnote using the <nowiki>{{about}}</nowiki> template would not only suffice, it'd be more accurate.

So in short, TNBC ↗ should be the article on the programming block, as it is the only factually correct title, but that article should be edited to include the hatnote:oknazevad (talk) 20:01, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

{{about|the children's programming block|the disease|triple-negative breast cancer}}

A separate disambiguation page is unneeded. oknazevad (talk) 13:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for the feedback. I thought other uses of TNBC would eventually require or justify a disambiguation page. Would a better name for the "Teen NBC" page be "TNBC (something)" eg "TNBC (TV channel)" ? or would it be better to have a "TNBC (disambiguation)" page ? Rod57 (talk) 13:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
::A disambiguator should only be used when both articles have the exact same name. As neither of these do, there's no need for a parenthetical disambiguator. And we really don't need a disambiguation page for two entries, especially when one doesn't have the actual title "TNBC (something)". If there's something else that may, eventually, require a dismabiguation page, then it can be created. In short, a hatnote will do. [Oknazevad]
:::That doesn't seem to be how disambiguation pages are used in wikipedia.
:::If/when a disamb page is needed what should we do :
:::a) Have TNBC with hatnote to "TNBC (disambiguation)" ?
:::b) Have "TNBC (TV channel)" and TNBC being the disambiguation page ?
:::I guess (a) since TNBC was created first - or shouldn't creation order matter ?
:::BTW I'd rather fix it in one go since there seem to be at least 5 notable uses of TNBC ↗ Rod57 (talk) 10:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
::::Hm, depends on whether any of the other uses are exactly known by the initialism "TNBC". If not, then TNBC ↗ should be the programming block and the others should be at TNBC (disambiguation) ↗ which would be linked by a hatnote at the programming block page. If any of the others are known only by the initialism, then we have to consider WP:PRIMARYTOPIC ↗.oknazevad (talk) 22:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. I dont think any are known only by the initialism so I'll make TNBC (disambiguation) ↗ as you suggest. Rod57 (talk) 01:56, 26 July 2010 (UTC) ...

:I'm not an expert on click chemistry and am not even sure the comment is correct (since it's not clear to me which is the final product) but I think a suitable comment should stay on the main page as most readers won't look at the talk page.

Multiple myeloma

Concerning these edits ↗, could I persuade you to format the references you added into citation templates, to make the references more consistent with the style used in the remainder of the article?

:I've made the refs into cite templates (I often do but was a bit rushed when I did these). I've left the "2009 review" comments (eg in Multiple_myeloma#Maintenance_therapy ↗) as I feel they are helpful and seem the easiest way to indicate the date and type of source, which given the patchwork nature of many WP medical articles, many readers and later editors may find useful as medical opinions evolve over the years.

APA -> Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma -> Conn's syndrome

Hi there. In this edit ↗ you added Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma ↗ to the APA ↗ dab page. I had a look at the article it redirects to, and it does not mention "Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma", and obviously it should, as that's where it redirects. But I'm a bit hesitant as to the right place. Is it a synonym of Conn's syndrome? Can you please add it in the correct place? Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 16:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

: Hi, I think it ''is'' a synonym : Primary aldosteronism ↗ says "When it occurs due to a solitary aldosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma (a type of benign tumor), it is known as Conn's syndrome". : I had Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma ↗ redirect to Conn's syndrome ↗ (which redirected to Primary aldosteronism ↗. Unless there is a technical reason (eg multiple redirects that dont work) why this should not be done I think this was better (clearer) than your redirecting directly to Primary aldosteronism ↗ because in the future Conn's syndrome ↗ may change from a redirect to an article in its own right.
: Are you arguing that there are non-adrenal aldosterone-secreting adenomas (in which case Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma ↗ could say that as well as linking to Conn's syndrome ↗) ? Otherwise, I think what I did was reasonable and your change could be confusing. What do you think ? Rod57 (talk) 20:14, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

:: Sadly, Wikipedia does not support multi-redirects, so Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma ↗ cannot redirect to Conn's syndrome ↗. Even if I left this redirect, a bot will "correct" it. That's a technical problem that we have to live with.
:: I am not arguing anything. My understanding of the life sciences is in a high school level, so I don't even understand half of what you said. All I said is that I think the term "Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma" should appear somewhere in Primary aldosteronism ↗, and knowing nothing of the subject I'm at a loss as to where to add it. If you say it's a synonym for Conn's Syndrome, I'll add it there. Have a look at Primary aldosteronism ↗ and see if I did it correctly please. Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 21:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Your change makes what was there before somewhat confusing so I have added the bold term in a separate sentence instead to avoid any confusion. Rod57 (talk) 13:41, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Reactor period ↗

left|48px|alt=|link= ↗A tag has been placed on :Reactor period ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page ↗, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators ↗ wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template '''<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>''' to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page ↗. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DASHBot (talk) 12:00, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Sequence of thymosin beta-4 ↗

Hi,

Might be a tad pedantic, but the protein will be 43 aminoacids (no N-term methionine). N-term is acetylated, though I've no idea if that can be shown in single letter code.
Even more pedantic - this is the human protein. All placental mammal orthologues are identical, marsupials have E8Q and amphibians differ even more. I'm not editing at present because not being an experienced Wikipedian, I'm unsure whether this level of detail is appropriate. Jgedwards (talk) 23:33, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

: Hi J, Thanks. IMO pedantic detail is fine in an encyclopedia. I wasn't aware of the n-terminal acetylation and lack of methionine and was just trying to follow the source [to give an idea of the protein size]. I'll add that this is the sequence in humans. Do you have a source for it being for placental mammals ?
: There's no need to be experienced to edit. Level-of-detail/pedantry can [also] be discussed on article talk pages so others can contribute. Thanks again. - Rod57 (talk) 14:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Olive oil ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Linolenic acid ↗ (check to confirm ↗ | fix with Dab solver ↗).

:The guideline says " The given order of sections is also encouraged but may be varied, particularly if that helps your article progressively develop concepts and avoid repetition".
:In most cases, including colorectal cancer ↗ it flows much better IMO to go from Diagnosis to Management, and to have Prevention (at least primary prevention) immediately before Epidemiology. I might suggest that on the guidelines talk page one day. - Rod57 (talk) 05:22, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

:It was clear from the guideline talk page Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles/Archive_6#Order_of_sections ↗ that others thought it would be better to change the order of the sections in the guideline, and to emphasise that the order was not mandatory. - Rod57 (talk) 18:46, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

cn tag format

Hi, Rod57. I noticed this edit ↗ to the Photonics ↗ article. Just a tip: you want to use the {{tl|cn}} tag like this <nowiki>{{cn|date=April 2013}}</nowiki>. That prevents the page from getting added to :Category:Pages containing citation needed template with deprecated parameters ↗ and a bot from re-adding a new date parameter in a day or so.

CAR-T ↗

I'm not sure where this should redirect to. The current target doesn't have a lot of information but links to chimeric antigen receptor ↗. Even there, CAR-T doesn't get described well.— <span style="color:#070">Vchimpanzee</span> • <span style="color:#FA0"> talk</span> • <span style="color:#700">contributions</span> ↗ • 19:59, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
: I agree Adoptive cell transfer#Genetic engineering ↗ is not that helpful so I've changed the redirect to Chimeric antigen receptor ↗ which does cover CAR-T in a few places (see Contents) (but not yet in the intro). - Rod57 (talk) 20:16, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
::Good. I didn't know whether I should do it myself. This ↗ doesn't qualify as a medical source on Wikipedia, though there are usually links to acceptable sources. And I see you previously did this for CART ↗.— <span style="color:#070">Vchimpanzee</span> • <span style="color:#FA0"> talk</span> • <span style="color:#700">contributions</span> ↗ • 20:23, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
:{{tps}} I have struggled with this too. Way too much of the discussion about CAR-T ignores that it is a cell therapy, with all the baggage that comes with that. The CAR article should really just have the details of the receptor component, in my view. Jytdog (talk) 21:47, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Immunotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors

Hi, {{re|Rod57}} (and CC: {{re|Doc James}}) I've modified the redirects from "Checkpoint inhibitor ↗ --> Cancer_immunotherapy#Immune_checkpoint_blockade ↗" and "Checkpoint inhibition ↗ --> Cancer immunotherapy#Immune checkpoint blockade ↗" to link instead to the Immune checkpoint ↗ page. I was confused in part since Cancer immunotherapy#Immune checkpoints ↗ also links to the same section.

Also noticed there's some overlap in content on the Immunotherapy ↗ page. Maybe this content can be consolidated into one page instead of spread across three different pages? Mainly I want to find a better location to post research from big Pharama companies researching Checkpoint Inhibitors and some of the more notable studies/failures/new drugs on this. '''(Note)''' One new source I'd like to add/integrate with this: https://www.economist.com/news/business/21725800-fierce-rivals-pharma-are-co-operating-rush-immunotherapy-cancer-drugs-means-new ↗

Shaded0 (talk) 15:50, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

: Hi, {{re|Shaded0}} I think the redirects should be changed back (since immune checkpoints is too general).
: I've long felt we need a separate article on [immune] checkpoint inhibition/blockade and hope to create one soon (unless someone else does). Talk:Cancer_immunotherapy#Proposed_split_out_of_the_Immune_checkpoint_blockade_section ↗ - Rod57 (talk) 10:41, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

::{{re|Rod57}} I went ahead and did so, see Checkpoint_inhibitor_therapy ↗. Right now this is just a straight out copy/paste from immune checkpoints ↗, but will review here over the next day or two for additional content / edits with the under construction tag there. Feel free to edit away! Shaded0 (talk) 18:46, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

::: {{re|Shaded0}} Looks good, but the polysaccaride and neoantigen sections do not seem to belong in this article. - Rod57 (talk) 10:59, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

R-SMAD

I was browsing articles tagged as too technical and R-SMAD ↗ came up. I saw you edited the article a couple of years ago, and was wondering if you think the article, along with I-SMAD ↗, should be merged into SMAD (protein) ↗, as there don't seem to be enough sources to support separate articles on both. Thanks, and please tag me when you reply! Enterprisey (talk!) 07:19, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
: Hi Enterprisey - I-SMAD could easily be merged (and might as well be), and possibly R-SMAD with a bit more care - but best to also suggest it on the relevant pages with <nowiki>{{Merge to|SMAD (protein)}}</nowiki> and let people respond on the talk pages. - Rod57 (talk) 10:04, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

EDL redirected, questioned, still to be fixed

Greetings Rod57! I wanted to notify you that I have redirected your stub Entry, descent and landing ↗ to the pre-existing article Atmospheric entry ↗, which already covers the topic in great detail. There may be value in writing a section there as an overview of the various challenges for EDL at Earth and Mars, based partly on your prose. Let me know what you think. — JFG <sup>talk</sup> 20:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
: {{ping|JFG}} Hi JFG - Thanks for letting me know - but I feel your redirect is unhelpful - Entry is just one phase of EDL and the Atmospheric entry ↗ article correctly only covers the entry phase. The issues in Descent and Landing are very different and should not go in the large Entry article. The EDL stub/article (correctly IMO) linked to Atmospheric entry ↗, and the Descent and Landing sections could be expanded and linked to current or future specific articles. (EDL is discussed as a thing - see many NASA docs - eg as each phase has to cope with the results of the previous one). Please consider undoing your redirect. - Rod57 (talk) 10:13, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Inquiry from a Public Relations Representative for Biogen on Assessing Wikipedia Article

Hello Rod57,

My name is Matt Nemet and I am a Public Relations professional at GCI Health ↗, an agency specializing in healthcare. We’re reaching out on behalf of our clients at Biogen ↗ to potentially update outdated information found on the Wikipedia page for its multiple sclerosis treatment candidate, opicinumab ↗.

We’re reaching out to you because we know Wikipedia users depend on active, qualified editors for accurate and supported articles. We felt that given your previous efforts editing Wikipedia pages like pembrolizumab ↗ you might be interested in reviewing this page through the lens of updating older information.

To further disclose our position, we are aware that per Wikipedia’s guidelines neither the company nor the company’s representatives can make direct edits to Wikipedia pages. Respecting these rules, our priority is ensuring that the Wiki has the most up-to-date information – we’re reaching out in the hopes you may be able to assess the current state of the page against publicly available information on Biogen and opicinumab to make accurate and appropriate updates.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Best regards,
MSN2017 (talk) 14:41, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

: Hi Matt, If you know of any third party publications, peer reviewed publications, or independent/disinterested discussion of opicinumab (ideally not based on biogen press releases) you could mention them on talk:opicinumab ↗ (for everyone to consider) and, if you wish, ping me or mention my name (like I have here: MSN2017) to notify me as well. or you can email me ("email-this-user" under Tools on the LHS of my talk or user pages). - Rod57 (talk) 19:39, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

:: Hello Rod57, Thanks for your response! We’re planning to share references for consideration via the Opicinumab talk page and will be sure to tag you for visibility. Best, MSN2017 (talk) 21:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Chinese Deep Space Network ↗

The article now has a map with all the important radiotelescopes and the positions. However it stolen from the German Wikipedia, so you might change the name of the templates (I could not find the English equivalent), but it also works to my surprise. As it contains more than just the deep space network, you might reuse it also somewhere else, you just need to eliminate the unnecessary parts.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 23:45, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

:BTW the article is massively outdated and represents the situation (at least) six years ago. Within the next five years (after Qitai is finished) China will be the number 1 player in radioastronomy by a mile and even now it has a deep space network with several huge dishes, that is more capable than Esas ESTRACK network, especially with the big dishes in Tian Ma and Jiamusi. Prepare for a manned moon mission, a manned moon orbiting space station and a manned mars mission (or at least a serious attempt) after that.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 00:04, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

:: Thanks Giftzwerg 88 - I don't plan to update Chinese Deep Space Network ↗ again
:: (Today it says "Planned improvements by 2012 : A new 35-meter antenna at the Kashgar station. & A 64-meter antenna in Jiamusi. (~130°E)". Do you have sources for their completion and use ?)
:: - but I look forward to more exciting Chinese missions. - Rod57 (talk) 12:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

:::You might use the sources of the German Version (it´s all in English). I´ts hard to find any sources at all. For the unsourced parts you can confirm the real existence of the dishes in google maps at least. I got some of the positions out of several blogs, which are not valid sources for Wikipedia.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 12:50, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

The ISS ↗ has been continuously occupied for the last 20 years! Expedition 1 ↗ arrived on 2 November 2000 with the first long-term residents. That’s longer then ↗ Wikipedia has existed.

Crew-1 ↗ successfully launched from LC-39A ↗ on 16<sup>th</sup> November 2020, at 00:11:15 (UTC). Later, on 17<sup>th</sup> November 2020, 04:00 (UTC) Michael S. Hopkins ↗, Victor J. Glover ↗, Soichi Noguchi ↗ and Shannon Walker ↗ joined Expedition 64 ↗ and the crew of MS-17 ↗ on the ISS.

Arianespace ↗ had a launch failure after liftoff of its Vega ↗ rocket on the 17<sup>th</sup> November. Two satellites were lost due to an integration error of the fourth stage.

It was launched on November 14, 1969, from the Kennedy Space Center ↗, Florida ↗, four months after Apollo 11 ↗. Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad ↗ and Apollo Lunar Module ↗ Pilot Alan L. Bean ↗ performed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon ↗ remained in lunar orbit. The landing site for the mission was located in the southeastern portion of the Ocean of Storms ↗.

Factual changes on cladribine – Request for feedback from community before edits - replied

Dear Wiki member,
I hope you are well.

I am reaching out regarding my latest contribution to the cladribine Wikipedia page. I have declared my COI and intended changes on the Talk page prior to initiating the page edit directly. I was hoping to hear from editors to ensure a smooth edit vetted by the Wikipedia community. It has now been 3 weeks and I have not received any feedback. I can see that you are quite active on other MS molecules (your contribution on the ocrelizumab, alemtuzumab or fingolimod pages for example). I was wondering if you could please advise whether it would be acceptable for me to proceed with the edits. To provide further clarification, I have suggested further unbiased detail to the current page, and have proposed some edits, all of which I have included citations for.
I invite you to consult my post here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cladribine#2021_Page_factual_update

I would greatly appreciate your feedback. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, Samer FahmySamerFahmy (talk) 14:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

: Thanks for the details on the proposed edits. I have replied on Talk:Cladribine - Rod57 (talk) 03:49, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

'''Shuttle-Centaur''' was a version of the Centaur ↗ upper stage ↗ rocket designed to be carried aloft inside the Space Shuttle ↗. Two variants were developed: '''Centaur G-Prime''' and '''Centaur G'''. The powerful Centaur upper stage allowed for heavier deep space probes, and for them to reach Jupiter sooner. However, neither variant ever flew on a Shuttle.

New Library Card platform design[edit]

The Wikipedia Library is continuing with its design improvements. With the latest update, you can now '''mark''' collections you are authorized to access as favorites - they'll then show up in the '''Favorites tab''', which will become the default tab for you once you've got at least one collection favorited. We hope this will make it easier to get right to the collections you're most interested in without needing to search through a bunch of other options. We've also added a filter based on whether a particular collection is indexed in the search tool (see above).
We'd love to hear what you think of the new UI - whether that's positive experiences, bugs and technical issues, or things you’d like to see changed, please share your thoughts here!

Wiley – broad collections of online journals, books, and research resources, covering life, health, social, and physical sciences
OECD iLibrary, OECD Data, and OECD Multimedia Gallery – a repository of materials published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
A number of existing partners have also moved to allow immediate access to all eligible editors, without requiring an application; these include Alexander Street, American Psychiatric Association, and American Psychological Association.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :JSCI ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article ↗.</p><p>You may want to consider using the Article Wizard ↗ to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on :JSCI ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic ↗);
:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
:::*is an orphaned ↗ redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=JSCI|deleting administrator}}.

The article :Nanostrain ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''ephemeral'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist.

2195 aluminium alloy

Hello! Back in 2020, you have added to said article that 2195 is used on Vulcan Centaur ↗: diff ↗. So, I'm interested, where did you get it from?
It's easy to find sources about that alloy's use by SpaceX and NASA, but I haven't found anything about use by ULA. Trasheater Midtier🐉(talk) 20:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Jeffrey Leiden Updates

Hi Rod57. I hope you are well. I noticed that you have an interest in medicine and pharmacology by your participation in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Participants#Active_participants ↗ and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pharmacology/Participants ↗. Therefore, I am hoping you might like to take a look at what I believe is a straightforward edit request I posted at Talk:Jeffrey_Leiden#Updates ↗. Jeffrey Leiden ↗ is the executive chairman of Vertex Pharmaceuticals ↗. Another editor has already implemented the last bullet point of four in total, and has said he is not going to implement the rest, but he does "not oppose if other editors make them." If you think the remaining edits are reasonable, would you kindly implement them? Thanks so much, JohnDatVertex (talk) 15:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

The first special issue spans November 2021 to December 2023, while the second special issue spans January 2024 to December 2024.

Due to the size of these pages, as well as the fact that they are non-standard issues, I have instead had this notice sent out. The following issues of volume 3 (Jan - Dec 2025) should be significantly smaller.

Please be aware that, for a variety of reasons, the issues that I create may be published late.

Here are the issues:

First special issue ↗

Second special issue ↗

----
:Initially launched in late 2010/early 2011 for a run of four months, ''The Downlink'' was unpublished for more than nine years, after which a second volume was published from October 2020 to October 2021. This second volume was very different from the first volume, both in style and structure. A December issue ↗ was planned (for some reason, the second volume became volume 1 in April 2021), but was never finished. Like with volume 2, this volume 3 was intended to come with changes, though primarily to style.
:Volume 3 will not feature any significant changes to style or structure. This both provides continuity with the previous volume and allows the contributors to construct each issue relatively easily. However, following volumes may see changes to style, format, and upload schedule. As it is still very early in the year, a discussion on this is not yet necessary, but suggestions of all kinds are always welcome at the talk page ↗.

The Downlink Volume 3, Issue 3

Firefly Aerospace ↗ became the first commercial company to successfully achieve a soft landing on the moon on 2 March with the landing of Blue Ghost Mission 1 ↗ near Mons Latreille ↗. It lasted the intended length of one lunar day ↗ before losing power on 16 March. It was launched with the Hakuto-R Mission 2 ↗ lander ''Resilience'' and rover ''Tenacious'', which are planned to land in the Mare Frigoris ↗.

On 6 March, the IM-2 ↗ mission's lunar lander ''Athena'' landed on Mons Mouton ↗. Although intact, it landed sideways, preventing it from generating enough power to operate as designed. The mission was declared over the following day.

SpaceX Crew-9 ↗ splashed down near Tallahassee, Florida ↗ on 18 March. Initially planned to launch with a full complement, the extension of Barry Wilmore ↗ and Sunita Williams ↗' stay on the ISS ↗ resulted in it being launched with only two crew members.

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize and $300 top prize for most Science and Tech destubs and improvements. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 19:34, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Rocket engines typically use one of two types of propellant: Solid ↗ or liquid ↗. Hybrid-propellant rocket ↗s use a combination of these two forms of fuel, and lack some of the disadvantages of both. Their specific impulse ↗ is usually between solid-propellant ↗ and liquid-propellant rockets ↗. The image shown here is of a 3D-printed grain ↗, designed for a small hybrid rocket engine which would be used to demonstrate rocket combustion. On the left are two helical fuel ports, on the right a de Laval nozzle ↗.

The first launch attempt of an Australian-made rocket, Gilmour Space Technologies ↗' Eris-1, was made on 29/30 July. The launch vehicle crashed 14 seconds after launch due to insufficient thrust.

The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar ↗ satellite launched on 30 July. The first radar imaging that uses dual frequencies, it is a joint project between NASA ↗ and ISRO ↗, and believed to cost ~US$1.5 billion, making it one of the most expensive Earth-imaging satellites.

In July of 1969, Apollo 11 ↗ successfully fulfilled John F. Kennedy ↗'s goal of a person landing on, and returning from, the moon before the 1970s. Taking off on 16 July, the lunar lander, ''Eagle'' ↗, touched down on the evening of the 20th (UTC). Neil Armstrong ↗ and Buzz Aldrin ↗ exited the lander six hours later, becoming the first men on the moon. The pair stayed on the lunar surface for about 21 hours. This image is actually the second of a pair of images, taken by Aldrin so that the lunar surface's ability to bear weight could be measured.

200px|right ↗
Launched on 26 July, 1971, Apollo 15 ↗ was the fourth Apollo mission to successfully land on the moon, and the first of the longer, more science-focused J Mission ↗s. Landing at Hadley–Apennine ↗ on the 30, Commander David Scott ↗ and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin ↗ (''Irwin on left'') stayed on the moon's surface until 2 August, while Command Module Pilot Alfred Worden ↗ stayed in orbit, collecting a variety of data on the moon. Apollo 15 was the first mission to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle ↗ (''on right''), which allowed Scott and Irwin to travel farther from the Lunar Lander (''center'') than previously possible.

On 4 August, the lunar orbiter departed from orbit at the end of Apollo 15's 74th lunar orbit ↗. On the 5, Worden performed an EVA ↗ which lasted 39 minutes. This was the first of three deep-space EVAs, all performed during J Missions. The command module landed in the North Pacific Ocean on the 7, with the command module and crew being recovered by USS ''Okinawa'' ↗. Apollo 15 was the longest Apollo mission, lasting for a total of 12 days and 7 hours, until Apollo 17 ↗, which lasted 12 days, 13 hours, and 52 minutes.

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Lymphocyte expansion molecule ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Lymphocyte expansion molecule ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Paper that originally described LEM has been retracted and there have been no subsequent publications that support its existence.'''</blockquote>

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion based on established criteria ↗.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion ↗ of the article at any time. Boghog (talk) 11:43, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I had created the article in 2015. In the light of the paper being retracted I am content to let the proposed deletion occur. - Rod57 (talk) 14:32, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Molybdenum cofactor ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Molybdenum cofactor ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Unreferenced for 16 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Attempts to source it, to ask for citations needed, and to merge have all failed over the years. This is in fact a disambiguation page with two entries.'''</blockquote>

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

The Downlink Volume 3, Issue 10

On 13 November, the ESCAPADE ↗ spacecraft SIMPLEx-4A (''Blue'') and SIMPLEx-4B (''Gold'') were launched on board a New Glenn ↗ rocket. They will orbit Earth at its L{{Sub|2}} point ↗ until the Mars transfer window opens in late 2026.

On the second flight of New Glenn ↗, the first stage, "Never Tell Me the Odds," landed on the drone ship ''Jacklyn'' ↗ on 13 November. This made New Glenn the first orbital-class booster capable of landing propulsively ↗ not manufactured by SpaceX ↗.

As a result of damage caused by space debris ↗, China's Shenzhou 20 ↗ was rendered unusable for returning its crew back to Earth. The crew instead returned on board the Shenzhou 21 ↗ craft on 14 November, with Shenzhou 22 ↗ being launched uncrewed on 25 November to serve as a return vessel for the crew of Shenzhou 21.

On 27 November, Baikonur Cosmodrome Site 31 ↗, the only launch site used by Russia to reach the ISS, was significantly damaged during the launch of Soyuz MS-28 ↗.

''The Downlink'' Volume 3, Issue 11

The International Space Station ↗'s eight compartments were fully occupied for the first time on 1 December, with the rebirthing of Cygnus NG-23 ↗ to ''Unity'' ↗.

On 3 December, China's Zhuque-3 ↗ made the first non-American attempt at landing a booster. The booster failed to land following a landing-burn anomaly. A second attempt on the 23rd, this time using the new Long March 2A ↗ launch vehicle, also failed.

On 6 December, contact with NASA's MAVEN ↗ Mars orbiter was lost. The last received telemetry ↗ was from the 4th, with the fragmented transmission of the 6th suggesting that the craft was rotating in an unintended way, and possibly having changed orbit. As of 16 January 2026, the mission has not yet been officially ended, although reestablishing communications with MAVEN is considered highly improbable.

STS-116 ↗ was the 33rd mission of the Space Shuttle ''Discovery'' ↗. Launched in the late evening of 6 December, the main aims of the mission were the installation of one of the International Space Station's Integrated Truss Structure ↗ segments, rewiring of the power system, and personnel exchange. Also known as ISS-12A.1, STS-116 was the first mission to include a Swedish astronaut, Christer Fuglesang ↗. It returned to Earth in the evening of 22 December.<br/><br/>This image, of the first of three EVA ↗ sessions, was taken on the fourth day of the mission. Flight engineer Robert Curbeam ↗ is on the left, opposite mission specialist 3 Christer Fuglesang. The image was taken over New Zealand ↗; the South Island ↗ is visible on the left, while the southern portion of the North Island ↗, mostly consisting of the Wairarapa ↗ region, is visible in the top-right.

NASA called off a planned spacewalk of SpaceX Crew-11 ↗ on 8 January, and later cancelled the mission outright, after one of the crewmembers, Mike Fincke ↗, was reported to have a medical complication. This was the first time that this occurred in US history.

On 11 January, the Pandora spacecraft ↗ was successfully launched. Pandora is designed to study the atmospheres of transiting exoplanet ↗s, with the intention of identifying targets for future observation.

Pictured here are two titans of spaceflight history: Dr. Wernher von Braun ↗, one of the main figures of the early American space program and designer of both the Saturn V ↗ and V-2 ↗ rockets, and five (four visible) Rocketdyne F-1 ↗ engines, used on the Saturn V Dynamic Test Vehicle ↗. Dr. von Braun's career is noted for a great number of achievements in human spaceflight, including the Apollo mission ↗ which successfully put human beings on the moon; nevertheless, it is burdened with the shadow of his activities in the Nazi Party ↗, especially concerning his work on the V-2.

The engines behind him, in addition to being immense, have the honor of being the only engines used to get humans to the moon, as of the time of writing. Developed in the late 1950s, the {{Convert|8400|kg|lb}} engines are still the most powerful single combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket ↗ ever made.

''The Downlink'' Volume 4, Issue 2

The first crewed spaceflight of 2026, SpaceX Crew-12 ↗, was launched on the 13th. Four astronauts were flown to the ISS in an atypical indirect handover that was caused by the early return of Crew-11 ↗ due to a medical emergency.

On the 14th, the ESA ↗ lost contact with PROBA-3 ↗, a dual-probe technological demonstration ↗ mission for chronographic ↗ high-precision formation flying ↗. Specifically, the Chronograph Spacecraft lost orientation and drifted away from the Occulter.

Earth is in the bottom-left; the orange part of the atmosphere is the troposphere ↗, the white band in the middle is the stratosphere ↗, and the blue section is the mesosphere ↗.

''The Downlink'' Volume 4, Issue 4

Artemis II ↗, the first crewed mission to the moon since Apollo 17 ↗, was launched on 1 April. During the lunar flyby, it became the furthest spaceflight in human history on the 6th. ''Integrity'' ↗, the re-entry vehicle, splashed down southwest of San Diego ↗ on the 11th.

On 8 April, the first satellites of the Celeste (LEO-PNT) ↗ constellation began broadcasting navigation signals for the first time.

A demonstration of weightlessness ↗ by astronaut Clayton Anderson ↗, particularly its effect on liquids. The water's surface tension ↗ keeps it in a sphere, which here results in the light reflecting off of Anderson being refracted in such a way that it appears upside-down. It is only upside-down relative to Anderson, as there is no "up" or "down" in a weightless environment beyond convention.
