Medicinal chemistry and drug discovery

I recently noticed one of your edits on the pharmaceutical company article, which led me to your user page. I am very intrigued by your education and career because I currently intend to pursue the same path. If possible, would you be willing to talk to me about the nature of your work and education via chat or e-mail? If so, I would greatly appreciate it. I am currently a sophomore in college.

I'd be happy to. Just email me through the "E-mail this user" link. --Ed (Edgar181) 23:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Block of User:172.188.62.153

Notice you reduce a block on this one as AOL, just thought I'd let you know those 172. addresses aren't AOL proxies so can be blocked for longer without much collateral damage (look at the contrbs of that one for instance, if it were a proxy it'd have more than the handful it does). I tend to block those for 3 hours. --pgk^(talk) 19:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the exact basis, but I believe they are essentially the "real" IP of the user so they would stay for that "session" of the given user. --pgk^(talk) 19:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Is this a threat?

You speedied an article, P33N. Someone has left a note on the talk page: Talk:P33N. Fan-1967 13:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. I have now speedied the talk page, and blocked the user that made the silly threats. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I must have tagged the page for db the first time around a few weeks back, because it showed up on my watchlist. Fan-1967 13:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Wickethewok's RFA

Thanks for your support on my RFA. The final vote count was (61/9/3), so I am now an administrator. Feel free to let me know how I'm doing at any point in time or if you need anything. Once again, thank you. Wickethewok 15:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

References on antioxidant

Hi Edgar,

Just wanted to say well done for adopting the {{cite science}} template on antioxidant - I had that on my todo list as well. It's great that someone else thinks the template is useful.

Best wishes,

Thanks. I think Wikipedia articles on science subjects for which there is a lot of misinformation out there should have the highest standard of references/reliable sources. It's a bit tedious, but sometimes it's nice to have something to do in the mulitple little gaps of time I have between work. Thanks for catching and correcting the missing brackets on one of them, too! --Ed (Edgar181) 15:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

3D images

Hi Ed - sorry for stepping on your toes. I didn't really mean to replace your allene image, just the ones with blue hydrogens really (Chem3D standard colours are strange!), and to provide hi-res images in case anyone wants a cover image for a project or something. I'm just a bit tired, so I'm not concentrating properly! I think your images are great and I think you should definitely continue producing them - you've done quite a few, such as in calixarene, that are of compounds I don't have much experience of, so I'd much prefer to have you making images as well as just me.

Let me know again if I overwrite anything of yours you don't want me to. I'm on a bit of a mission tonight to clear my desktop of all the structures I've been making.

Sorry again for any upset.

Thank you

Tank you for deleting that redicolous brief question page. See you around —M in un ^{Spiderman • Review Me} 12:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Rainman

Nice idea. --Dweller 12:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

It seems like a plausible search term for the movie. --Ed (Edgar181) 12:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

User block

I think you were quite lenient on the mischief maker of the Organic Chemistry pages with just a short, temporary block. Even this seem not to have worked, or perhaps not yet, as the mischievous statement was reinstated at 14.46 (removed again by Beetstra) Is WIKI powerless against such people ?

--LouisBB 21:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I blocked one IP address for 24 hours and no more vandalism has occured from that IP since. As soon as it returned from a different IP, I immediately blocked that one too. A longer block on the first IP wouldn't have stopped the second IP. And the vandal hasn't returned since. So I think the vandalism was as effectively controlled as is possible. In general, I think I'm a bit more strict than most adminstrators when it comes to IP vandals - many just give one hour blocks for the first offense. But anytime you see vandalism, feel free to bring it to my attention or to WP:AIV and someone will block. And thanks for your contributions to organic chemistry. --Ed (Edgar181) 22:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

User user:Aardtek

Hi Edgar, I have been reverting links that Aardtek is adding, I saw you did the same. I posted an explanation on Aardtek's page, but there seems to be something strange with the history there, as if things have been blanked (see also user talk:Aardtek1). Could you have a look. Cheers. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the talk page is a bit strange with at least one warning removed. Plus the page was moved, then moved back. Most of this user's contributions are typical of a linkspammer, consisting mainly of simply adding links to a body building website to various artices. I'll keep an eye out and continue to revert. --Ed (Edgar181) 11:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Cheers. I'll do the same. See you around. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
