Mirus Bio LLC

Hi, the page I created for Mirus Bio was deleted due to it being flagged as spam. I totally support Wiki's goal to keep the content informational and not advertisorial (or whatever the word would be).

Please check the following revised content and tell me what you think. Thanks!

'''Mirus Bio LLC – “The Transfection Experts”''' – (formerly Mirus Bio Corporation), develops and manufactures transfection reagents and related products for life science research. == History == Mirus Corporation was founded in [[Madison WI]] in 1995 by three [[University of Wisconsin - Madison]] scientists: Jon A. Wolff, James E. Hagstrom and Vladimir G. Budker. Mirus focused on developing and commercializing innovative non-viral [[gene delivery]] technologies for [[gene therapy]] applications. These innovations also served as the basis for the company’s [[transfection]] reagents and other products. In 2008 the Therapeutics Division was acquired by Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. The former Research Tools Division of Mirus remains an independent entity now known as Mirus Bio LLC. == Selected Publications == *first demonstration that plasmid DNA could be delivered effectively to the rodent liver in mice using rapid intravascular injections (Budker et al., Gene Therapy 3:593, 1996) *first demonstration that plasmid DNA could be delivered effectively to skeletal muscle cells in rodents using rapid intravascular injections (Budker et al., Gene Therapy 5:272, 1998) *first demonstration that ‘caged’ DNA-containing nanoparticles are resistant to aggregation under physiologic salt conditions (Trubetskoy et al., Bioconjugate Chemistry 10:624, 1999) *first demonstration of siRNA-mediated knockdown of an endogenously expressed gene in mice (Lewis et al., Nature Genetics 32:107, 2002) *development of low-toxicity, DNA-containing nanoparticles for gene delivery to lungs (Trubetskoy et al., Gene Therapy 10:261, 2003) *development of the clinically viable, high efficiency Pathway IV™ method for delivering plasmid DNA into mammalian skeletal muscle (Hagstrom et al., Molecular Therapy 10:386, 2004) *development of a genetic immunization method in research animals by rapid intravenous delivery (Bates et al., Biotechniques 40:199, 2006) *development of the Dynamic PolyConjugate™ technology for targeted delivery of siRNA to liver cells in mice (Rozema et al., PNAS 104:12982, 2007) *development of a plasmid vector providing sustained liver-specific transgene expression in excess of one year following a single injection (Wooddell et al., Journal of Gene Medicine 10:551, 2008)

Your opinion please...

I noticed that several images of Omar Khadr have been deleted recently.

If File:Alleged Khadr 3.png, File:Alleged Khadr Waving.png and File:Khadr's Colleague.png are the images I think they are, then they should all have been tagged with {{PD-Afghanistan}} and moved to the commons.

The deletion log says you deleted the first two images. I can't figure out who deleted the third image.

I know some contributors have doubts about the {{PD-Afghanistan}} liscense. Their opinions on images from Afghanistan vary.

Some objectors acknowledge that images taken in Afghanistan are without any copyright protection -- but only if they were first published in Afghanistan.
Some objectors acknowledge that images taken in Afghanistan are without any copyright protection -- but only until they are published outside of Afghanistan. They maintain that once the images are published outside of Afghanistan they belong to who-ever first published them in a country that is a signatory to International intellectual property rights agreements, without regard to whether that individual or organization had any connection to the original photographer.

I acknowledge that there may be some merit to the position of the objectors. The law can be highly counter-intuitive. I wouldn't want our consensus as to how to interpret the copyright status of these images to be influenced by WP:ILIKEIT. And, for some time I have expressed the wish that the Wikimedia Foundation get the professional opinion of a lawyer, or lawyers, who specializes in intellectual property issues on the copyright status of images from nations like Afghanistan with no copyright protection.

However, until the WMF gets that professional opinion, I think we should go with the consensus on images like this, so far -- which has been that they should be kept.

If you agree with me, in your opinion, what is the next step? Do you think you have the authority to re-instate images from Afghanistan that should have born a {{PD-Afghanistan}} liscense? If you don't agree, in your opinion, what is the next step?

One last question -- who uploaded these images? Was it User:Sherurcij?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 21:08, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked User talk:Sherurcij, and saw this request from you. My questions about these images were not prompted by a request for my input from Sherurcij. I simply noticed that these had been deleted.

On his talk page I recognized one other image you wrote to him about: File:HagiFiz2.jpg that I believe qualified for {{PD-Afghanistan}} liscencing and porting to the commons.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 21:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Er...I'm not quite sure I follow you here, but I'll do my best to answer...I deleted File:Alleged Khadr 3.png and File:Alleged Khadr Waving.png because they were missing fair use rationale and were tagged for more than 7 days with {{subst:nrd}}. A file with the name File:Khadr's Colleague.png has never existed, ever. File:HagiFiz2.jpg was missing a source and was tagged with {{subst:nsd}} for more than 7 days. If you're suggesting that I restore these files despite their missing essential information on their copyright statuses, you know I can't agree to that. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:50, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Automatic pistol

Hi Fastily. Please see Automatic pistol, where numerous IP users are persistently vandalizing the page with edits such as this one. Per another user's post on the talk page, they are discussing the vandalism here at 4chan. ROG5728 (talk) 21:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page semi-protected for two weeks. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A protection of the talk page there (Talk:Automatic pistol) may also be necessary. IP users such as 186.13.241.158, 71.226.250.181, and 88.104.121.146 are blanking and changing other editors' comments there. Specifically, these IPs have been changing one editor's comment to say that the editor vandalized the page, and/or removing another editor's comment that pointed out the 4chan discussion about the vandalism. Thanks. ROG5728 (talk) 22:01, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've warned all of the IPs. If the disruptive editing from any of the IPs continues, report that IP to WP:AIV. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 06:16, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright of my photo

Hello! It is my private photo. What kind of copyrights do you need?

Could you please indicate the name of the file in question please? Thanks, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. It was on my user page User:Skoglund. Actually, I don't know who owns the copyrights for this photo. I know you must follow rules but I think some rules are stupid. You are the first site that asked for the copyrights but I understand that you had some problems with governments so I respect your desicion.

File:Phantom ray rollout.jpg

Sorry about that. I meant F-8. While I'm here do you know why File:Future Combat Sytems.jpg still hasn't been deleted. It's been sitting there for months. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 22:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably because there's a fat backlog - Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons & Category:Wikipedia files on Wikimedia Commons. At any rate, file deleted. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:57, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Allaboutthemusicalex/TheLiveLine

Are editors allowed to keep advertising in their User space? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 22:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page is marked as a draft with an intent to improve the text, so technically, yes. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They stuck it in their User space almost a month ago and did not come back to work on it. I've listed it at mfd. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 23:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bother - I've already deleted the page. I didn't realize it was a month old. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to upload an image on behalf of my organization, the Vinyl Roofing Division of the Chemical Fabrics and Film Assoc. It is a photo of one of our roofs - but it keeps getting deleted. How can I ensure that it is not? Which license should I use? Koskim (talk) 23:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently you indicated that only non-commercial or educational use of the file is allowed. Unfortunately, we cannot accept files with such licensing restrictions so these files are deleted on sight. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

regarding entry for US bankcard services

Hi Fastily,

I'd like to add a page for my company: US BANKCARD SERVICES. The page was marked as advertisement and deleted. I'd like to know a good format to submit my content without it being marked as ad. We are not internally putting ad here on wiki, we just want to be visible.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

You're not Jampilot

I believe Jampilot (talk · contribs) borrowed your user namespace design and some of the links still sweeps one off to your page. I admit I was momentarily confused. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 09:39, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as long as there is no malicious intent involved, I guess there's not much we can do about it :/ -FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:26, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would gladly ask him to (at the very least) change the links, but he's one of those users who doesn't seem to realize there's anyone else around here lol – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 18:27, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed PROD on Center for Khmer Studies

Deprodding of Center for Khmer Studies

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Center for Khmer Studies, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! - A Center funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Henry Luce Foundation is most probably notable. A quick search revealed several Goggle Scholar hits in independent works. Additionally, this was a creation by a relatively new editor that we should encourage and mentor. Even though it might read like an advert today, it can be improved and we should all work toward that goal.--Mike Cline (talk) 13:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tons of images without FURs

Hi Fastily. I hope you don't mind me asking for your assistance. Brianmcfa (talk · contribs) has uploaded tons of images [1] without including a source or FUR on any of the image description pages. What should be done here? The user has been notified of the problem, but doesn't seem to care (check his talk page history)... Theleftorium ^(talk) 17:54, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Warn and mass tag. I'll take care of it. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers, FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:26, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Slang CfD

I'm pretty sure the outcome of the slang CfD was, at the very least, "no consensus". A number of issues were raised during the discussion that were not fully satisfied, and the evidence for "keep" was rather weak. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 18:16, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the result would have been the same whether I used "keep" or "no consensus" - file categories would have been retained anyways. If you like, I can change the bold text, but I don't see how that makes a difference. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:28, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Kobayashi-Hillary

i would ask you to reconsider your speedy deletion of Mark Kobayashi-Hillary: notable per 2 independent reviews of his written work; in no way shape or form an advertisement. Pohick2 (talk) 18:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through the deleted diffs, I noticed you were working on cleaning the article up. Sorry for the inconvenience. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:31, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thank-you, this is a marginal author, consultant that barely meets the WP:Author, but a speedy seems premature to me. Pohick2 (talk) 19:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Brianmcfa

I had this same discussion with him just two days ago, when he was in the middle of the uploading, and I warned him that he needed to provide fair use rationales for ever one of those images. He got hostile and told me that he's been here long enough to know what he was doing, and when I warned him that the images might get deleted, he said he would just re-upload them. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 21:12, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Like I told Mr. Proudfoot before, I will get to it, just be patient. I wanted to have the pages they're used on in place. I should have no problem getting at least all of the basics done by the "deletion" date. It's pretty obvious to anyone that looks at his talk page he tends to basically try to irritate people with a happy trigger finger.

The photo you marked for deletion

I have sorted File:Abedecian.jpg, but it was obviously my own photo so why such harshness, I feel sorry for new users! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abedecian (talk • contribs) 15:27, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion requests.

Hi! There are many images you are nominating for deletion that are perfectly fine and usable. You should mark them with the {{MoveToCommons}} template instead. --Beao 16:31, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

deleted page

I'd like to recreate a page that you had deleted. It is for Zupan's Markets, a grocery business in Portland, OR. I believe this business should have a Wikipedia page as do its competitors (such as New Seasons Markets). Kindly let me know if the page will be allowed so long as the new entry is more fact-based than was the previous. Thank you. Sterlingk (talk) 18:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Konxari Cards

Hi Fastily,

I created a page for Konxari Cards, a fairly well known form of Cartomancy that doesn't already exist on Wikipedia. When I first submitted the entry, I didn't have time on that particular day to add any links from other online sources. Rightly so, it was immediately tagged for deletion.

However, several days later I found over 20 links and many other wiki crossover areas. I made many additions and corrections, but the page was still deleted seven days later.

I'm asking that I can re-submit a completed article for Konxari. Please let me know. Thank you!
