I've done research on it and have found long and similarly vague answers from all sorts of sources, and I've found that you of all people may be able to help me, seeing as you're qualified for alot of things, may you explain it in a way of simple manner to me? I've asked all sorts of people and they've only produced vague and bad awnsers to me, so now I'm putting my hope in a stranger onlineSCP 1174(talk)06:33, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. In the articleLUCA,it is stated that "Studies from 2000–2018 have suggested an increasingly ancient time for LUCA. In 2000, estimations suggested LUCA existed 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago in the Paleoarchean era,[7][8] a few hundred million years before the earliest fossil evidence of life (…).A 2018 study from the University of Bristol, applying a molecular clock model, places the LUCA shortly after 4.5 billion years ago,within the Hadean.[16][17] "I propose to add the information to the paragraph about LUCA in the section" Earliest life forms ", I feel the update would be accurate. Thank you in advance. Have a nice day! --Jojnee(talk)11:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

PS. I apologise to bother you once again. Recently, I've edited the articleRetroposon,I put a (wiki)link to "retropseudogenes" (processed pseudogenes) to make it more clear for readers. Because there seems to be no consensus regarding the proper terminology (e.g., some authors tend to use the words "retrogene" and "retropseudogene" interchangeably), I decided to use a term commonly employed by scientists— "retro(pseudo)genes". Since you're a scientist as well as an experienced Wikipedia user and pending changes reviewer, could I ask you to review the edit? Especially, I mean the way I added a link to the other article, I tried my best to do it properly, but is it OK with the WP standards? Thank you very much in advance! Cheers, --Jojnee(talk)16:10, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Jojnee:Thanks for your comments - and suggested review - at first glance, and afaik atm, the edit re wikicode may be ok - however - there may be no mention of "retropseudogene" or "retro(pseudo)genes" in the cited reference - perhaps the language in the cited ref should be used? - iac - hope this helps in some way - Stay Safe and Healthy!! -Drbogdan(talk)17:38, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. Yes, I understand. Perhaps a good solution will be to cite in refsthe bookthat I read. It states:Retro(pseudo)genes are products of reverse transcription of a spliced (mature) mRNA. (…) Retro(pseudo)genes like other retrotransposons have been inserted into the genome as double-stranded sequence generated from a single-stranded RNA. Processed pseudogenes, as sometimes retropseudogenes are called, have been generated (…) However, not all retroposed messages have to end up as pseudogenes.(p. 166). I planned to add it, but had some troubles while trying to prepare a proper citation format. --Jojnee(talk)18:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for the recent edit. I wonder if it would be better to replace "the universal common ancestor" with a simple "the LUCA" in the second sentence (the one regarding a 2018 study).

I found aCCR5antagonist in May that showed promise for treating COVID-19 and have been following its progress. Last week the company announced that its phase 2 mild/moderate trial had achieved statistical significance for one of its endpoints and submitted an EUA based on those results and it's April phase 2b/3 severe/critcal trial that is underway. I noticed that it wasn't on theCOVID-19 drug developmentpage so I created an account and proposed text for it on the talk page. The edit was denied so I revised the entry, explained a bit about different classes ofmonoclonal antibodiesand provided more background information. It is entirely possible that I am misunderstanding this biologic's significance for treating C19. It is also possible that I am misunderstanding the standards for inclusion on the page, but the feedback I received didn't communicate that in a way that I understood and the reasons provided for refusal seemed inaccurate. I was hoping that you would take a look at the discussion atTalk:COVID-19 drug development.If you choose to share any thoughts about the discussion or how I can improve in my research I would be grateful. --TwoCandlesInTheDark(talk)02:42, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

"LocationOfEarth"- Kudos for your template
[edit]Dear Dr. Dennis Bogdan:
Would it please be possible for you to add left-right scrolling to the otherwise excellent "LocationOfEarth" template? I'm appealing to you, since you seem to have made the most extensive, recent formatting changes.
The "LocationOfEarth" template shows too wide for some screens. It needs a left-right scrollbar in those cases where it exceeds 100% of the available window width.
Being over-confident and adventuresome, I have tried and failed to use the "wide template", "scrolling", and "scrollable" templates, to add scrolling, and changing the "style" directive inside the template; I have failed. While I might aspire to be an emerging master editor of "math" notation (my own field), this job would appear to need a more masterful editor.
The only template that appears as if I could make it work is the "scrolling table" template, but that would require a conversion of the entire template into table format, rather than a minor tweak of its as-is formatting. That is more drastic than I'm comfortable with; it usually gets me in trouble. Could you please help?
Regards from Oregon/
Dr. Tom Lougheed

Hi. Given thisannouncement[2]andnew paper[1]( "Which stars can see Earth as a transiting exoplanet?" ), it would be great to have an article on the 1,004 stars within 326 light-years that can spot Earth based on line of sight. Not sure what it would be called, however.Viriditas(talk)07:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Viriditas:Good to hear from you - thank you for your comment - and suggestion - yes - saw the news[1][2][3][4][5]recently also - creating a related article seems like a good idea to me as well - possible article titles (for starters): "Earth as transiting exoplanet";"Earth transiting Sun";"Exoplanet Earth";"Detecting Earth from distant stars"(current favorite); others? - in any case - Thanks again for your post - Stay Safe and Healthy!! -Drbogdan(talk)13:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Viriditas:Brief followup - decided to start the article as "Detecting Earth from distant stars",afterwardsrenamedto "Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems",(made" redirects "of the other suggested titles above at the moment) - can always change the article title later - hope this is *entirely* ok - Comments (and new article editing) Welcome of course - iac - Stay Safe and Healthy!! -Drbogdan(talk)15:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Might want to startUser:Drbogdan/Earth Transit Zone.I think that's the best subject title at this time.Viriditas(talk)20:12, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

- Wow! Gone are the days when an editor could create a new article and work on it for a few minutes before being nominated for deletion. Drbogdan, I think the article can be kept, but given the obsessive paper pushers and bean counters that worship administrative rules and procedures, it would be more fruitful to move it to your user space where we can refine it first.Viriditas(talk)19:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
@ViriditasandPrototyperspective:- Thanks for all your comments - and suggestions - related discussion at => "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems"- copies of the original article are now at =>"User:Drbogdan/Earth Transit Zone"- And =>"Draft:Detecting Earth from distant star-based systems"- And =>"User:Drbogdan/sandbox-DetectingEarthAsExoplanet"- one of these may be a copy we can further expand I would think - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy!! -Drbogdan(talk)21:04, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
