Hi. Thanks for your contributions to the c10orf76 article. I would really, really appreciate if you would ask your instructor to contact me. While the contribution of your class are appreciated, they contains some formatting errors that require a lot of cleanup by other editors afterwards.
Here are a number of common formatting issues that I have identified in the articles created by your class:
- For consistency with other Gene Wiki articles, the {{GNF_Protein_box}} infobox should normally not be included directly in the article but rather transcluded using the {{PBB}} template. User:ProteinBoxBot is setup to maintain transcluded templates, but not templates directly contained in articles. The GeneWikiGenerator will automatically create both the template and the article that transcludes the template.
- Concerning the lead sentence, as discussed here and here, we have tried to make clear that these Gene Wiki articles are not only about the human gene/protein, but also orthologs that exist in other species. The wording that was reached through consensus is perhaps a little awkward, but it is both accurate and concise:
- <recommended UniProt name> is a protein that in humans is encoded by the <approved HUGO gene symbol> gene.
- The "that" in the above sentence is non-limiting implying that the protein (and gene) exists in other species besides human.
- Per WP:HEAD, sentence case should be used for section headings.
- Per WP:REFPUNC, punctuation before citations.
- Selection of gene. A gene, even if it is human, may not meet Wikipedia notability requirements unless a function has determined for the protein. Many of the genes that have been selected by your class are pretty obscure. There are some well known gene families for which not all members have Wikipedia articles that might be a better choice since the function of these genes is generally known (see for example the red links in Solute_carrier_family#Families). Don't worry about the notability for now. I am certainly not suggesting that the subject of any articles that have already been created be changed. However, I would appreciate if you would pass this information along to your instructor so that selection of genes by future classes consider notability.
- In case you haven't seen this yet, please check out User:Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool (instructions). Given a PubMed ID, one can quickly produce a full citation that can be copied and pasted into a Wikipedia article. This tool can save you a lot of work and ensure that the citations are displayed in a consistent manner.

[edit]I noticed that you previously tagged the Ted Mondale article as needing a more specific Reference for his mother, Joan Mondale, and I wanted to let you know that I have added an additional Reference verifying their relationship from the article I previously created on her. Please feel free to double-check the article, and let me know if you do not believe the additional Reference I added is sufficient enough.--TommyBoy (talk) 23:11, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
- The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 03:45, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
