Please undelete the talk page

Hi Dodo. Would you please undelete Category talk:Wikipedians with red-linked categories on their user talk page‎. The talk page was being used for a purpose directly related to the RfC at Wikipedia_talk:User_categories#Request_for_comment_on_our_proposed_policy_for_users_remaining_in_redlinked_categories. Note that although the category page was deleted, the category if functional and well populated, and what to do about this is the core question of the RfC. This particular category is most definitely not populated by accident, and the membership need to be notified of the RfC seeking approval for action involving their userspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:04, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Want to become permanent editor on Misplaced Pages

hi dodo good day i want to become permanent editor on wikipedia will you guide me the ways to become permanent with wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.165.84.186 (talk) 09:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Then you need to stop spamming. But since all you have been doing is adding in SEO links, I see little chance for you to become a permanent editor on Misplaced Pages. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:51, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

If I may, i'm gonna chime in here, This is what you want to do to become a permanent editor on wikipedia, 1. Don't do what you did to get banned, 2. Special:Createaccount I'd recommend this but its not required if you want to be a permanent editor (Unless your IP changes or if its shared) and 3. Look for what you enjoy editing in and edit there but make sure to provide a reliable source to most of what you put here on wikipedia, and 4. I'd recommend signing your posts by using this but 4 times over, or clicking the button towards the bottom of the editing page, thats pretty much all you need to know about becoming a permanent editor. Have a great day!! Wikipediauser123456 (talk) 17:46, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

User:67.248.31.226

Hello, I would like to refer you to a possible vandal IP user, I have repeatedly notified this person to correct his bad behaviors, however he seems to continue with these behaviors and since i'm not one to warn about blocking, I figured you could help out, refer to his 67.248.31.226 about this. Thanks. Have a nice day! Wikipediauser123456 (talk) 22:12, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Replying to what you said on my talk page: He has not edited since the 3rd of february as of now, but I would now like to draw your attention to a new editor User talk:107.216.96.74, He is currently on his final warning and has continued to make troublesome contribs, I'm referring you because he may need to be blocked, his edits are normally random dating changes to TV articles, including

Protection on Template:Missing information

Is this template a "high-risk"? If not, can you lower the protection please? It's transcluded in 1,000+ pages. --George Ho (talk) 23:05, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Why delete tailored pain scale pages?

There are tailored pain scales being developed with the head of Northwestern University's Anesthesiology department to be specific for different types of pain. Why does this get marked as spam? DigHealthEprt (talk) 05:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Message from Nathan Sapala

Hi Gogo, your difinition of describing my page Nathan Sapala Werep as "inappropriate pages" does not seem matured. I did not just create for pleasure. I have wasted my time and effort in creating that page. I even explained why it should not be deleted. You seen to be arrogent and hostile. I suppose, lets understand people and work to help people.

Just deleting something that someone has spend his time creating is doing INJUSTICE. With that I wish to ask if you could please undelete the pageI created and put it back.

Hope you would understand.

God bless.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathan Sapala (talk • contribs)

Copyvio warning after speedy?

Hi Gogo, another NPPer hit Trust medical transportation with a G11 as I was looking up the company's website, and you canned it before I could modify the speedy to add a G12 since it was a straight copy of http://www.trustmtrans.com/about. I am unsure if it would be appropriate to warn for the copyvio since the page is already gone, and you've blocked them for WP:USERNAME. Wanted to ask you for guidance.  :) Thanks!

Recreating the Koumine page

Earlier you deleted the Koumine WP page, for the A1 rapid deletion reason. There is good reason to reinstate this page, whatever its original content might have been.

Koumine, formula C₂₀H₂₂N₂O₂, is an indole alkaloid isolated from flowering plants of the genus Gelsemium, a plant native to the subtropical and tropical Americas, and southeast Asia. It has increasingly studied activity for potential anti-anxiolytic properties that derive from its ability, systemically, to induce muscle relaxation of varying intensity, resulting from its observed agonism of the mammalian glycine receptor, activation of which leads to an inhibitory postsynaptic potential in neurons following chloride ion influx. Despite potentially deleterious effects, recent pharmacological research has suggested that the biological activities of this compound may offer opportunities for developing treatments related to anxiety, cancer, and other conditions, with ongoing research including attempts to identify safer derivatives and analogs to make use of the compound's beneficial effects.

Koumine is an monoterpenoid type of indole alkaloid, and a close relative of the natural product gelsemine, which is also present from the same natural sources. The gelsemine class of alkaloids are some of a wide variety of the alkaloid and other natural products that have been isolated from this genus of plants.

As noted in recent review, koumine is found in, and can be isolated from, the subtropical to tropical flowering plant genus Gelsemium, family Loganiaceae, which as of 2014 included five species, where G. elegans Benth is native to China and East Asia, and G. sempervirens Ait., the type species, is native to the Americas. As these authors note:

Approximately 120 alkaloids have been isolated and identified from Gelsemium, with the predominant indole alkaloids including gelsemine, koumine…. Gelsemine is the principal active alkaloid in G. sempervirens Ait., and koumine and gelsemine are the most and second-most dominant alkaloids in G. elegans Benth. Gelsemium extract and its active alkaloids serve a variety of biological functions, including neurobiological, immunosuppressive and antitumor effects, and have traditionally been used to treat pain, neuralgia, anxiety, insomnia, asthma, respiratory ailments and cancers… In contrast to morphine, when administered intrathecally and systemically, koumine, gelsemine and gelsenicine have marked antinociception in inflammatory, neuropathic and bone cancer pains without inducing antinociceptive tolerance. Gelsemium and its active alkaloids may produce antinociception by activating the spinal α3 glycine/allopregnanolone pathway… support the clinical use of Gelsemium and suggest that its active alkaloids may be developed to treat intractable and other types of pain, preferably after chemical modification.

Koumine's biosynthesis, as of 1998, is thought to proceed from strictosidine (isovincoside), the common precursor for essentially all monoterpenoid indole alkaloids—itself deriving directly from tryptamine and mevalonic acid-derived secologanin. From strictosidine, the biosynthesis proceeds through four intermediates—including koumicine (akkuammidine), koumidine, vobasindiol, and anhydrovobasindiol, the final biosynthetic step thereafter involving anhydrovobasindiol oxidation and rearrangement. The related alkaloids gelsemine and gelsemicine also derive from this pathway .

This alone is surely enough material for a stub, and an infobox and other information can be quickly added—there are 36 more citations that I have only begun to explore, search "Koumine " at Pubmed. Can you reinstate the article, using this content, so that I can begin supporting the article? In doing so, can you place the original text somewhere (in Talk, or hidden in the main article space), so I can see it? You are better positioned, historically and technically, to make this change. I am a subject matter expert, much more than a technical expert at WP. Note, 4 of the 5 citations given above are secondary sources, so at present, the article is better sourced per WP:VERIFY than most alkaloid articles, and the tens of pages at these reviews devoted to this specific, unique molecule—recall, in chemistry, one moved bond or added atom makes a world of difference, in patents and in practice—as well as the 37 articles with this compound in the title or abstract make clear that it is sufficiently notable. It may replace its earlier studied relative, gelsemine, in practical importance, soon. Disclaimer, I do not publish in this area of natural products chemistry, but edit in it and all areas of the subject, as professional time permits.

Guideline and policy news

• A recent RfC has redefined how articles on schools are evaluated at AfD. Specifically, secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist.
• AfDs that receive little participation should now be closed like an expired proposed deletion, following a deletion process RfC.
• Defender, HakanIST, Matiia and Sjoerddebruin are our newest stewards, following the 2017 steward elections.
• The 2017 appointees for the Ombudsman commission are Góngora, Krd, Lankiveil, Richwales and Vogone. They will serve for approximately 1 year.

Technical news

• A recent query shows that only 16% of administrators on the English Misplaced Pages have enabled two-factor authentication. If you haven't already enabled it please consider doing so.
• Cookie blocks should be deployed to the English Misplaced Pages soon. This will extend the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user after they switch accounts under a new IP.
• A bot will now automatically place a protection template on protected pages when admins forget to do so.

Guideline and policy news

• Following a discussion on the backlog of unpatrolled files, consensus was found to create a new user right for autopatrolling file uploads. Implementation progress can be tracked on Phabricator.
• The BLPPROD grandfather clause, which stated that unreferenced biographies of living persons were only eligible for proposed deletion if they were created after March 18, 2010, has been removed following an RfC.
• An RfC has closed with consensus to allow proposed deletion of files. The implementation process is ongoing.
• After an unsuccessful proposal to automatically grant IP block exemption, consensus was found to relax the criteria for granting the user right from needing it to wanting it.

Technical news

• After a recent RfC, moved pages will soon be featured in a queue similar to Special:NewPagesFeed and require patrolling. Moves by administrators, page movers, and autopatrolled editors will be automatically marked as patrolled.
• Cookie blocks have been deployed. This extends the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user if they switch accounts, even under a new IP.

Lolzzz 666

have been repeatedly targeting and vandalizing one page "Ritam Chowdhury" I have reverted their edits earlier today before updating the page. However, they are incorporating sexual content/references and otherwise maligning the person about whom the page is. Further, they have stated in one edit that the person is a drug user.

I have reported them and also provided a notice to cease such activity. However, I am not sure how effective this will be. Please can you help?
