I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!
Thanks for your edits on the SOD1 page. Is there a reliable 3rd party source about the tempol info you added, e.g. a listing on clinical trials.gov or a press release? Linking to the Mitos.com website isn't quite right because although you can find that information off of the main page, it's not actually right there on the link. Also check out the policy on external links WP:EL or references WP:REF which contain some helpful guidance. Best wishes, --PaulWicks (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Wow, you are quick on the trigger. Your message showed only 30 seconds or so after my edit. Yes, I know the rules, etc.. A check will show that I have been here for a long time, if recently only as an occasional IP number. Right now, I am flying thru mostly textual/syntax edits. The few times I even mention something material, it is with the intent of coming back and providing further references ASAP.
- Gentle chide-- On the principle of "He who complains about the food gets to cook"<grin> : you can easily extract the cites from the www.mitospharma.com website yourself. Or do "tempol" and "radiation" on www.pubmed.gov . Always appreciate assistance and saves me the trouble of coming back and doing it myself. Thanks on the front-end.

- Indeed - but I'm not the kind of scientist who understands that stuff reliably enough to want to make edits in that space. They don't let neuropsychologists loose with petrie dishes, pipettes, scalpels, or drugs, and with good reason! --PaulWicks (talk) 13:53, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
