Hello, Chhandama. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, post here, or just let me know. Thank you, and happy editing! Biblio (talk) 23:26, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much indeed. I shall try to serve Wikipedia as best as I possibly can. Chhandama (talk) 03:33, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was amused to find that with this edit back in 2013 you suggested that the rift valley cichlids diversified from the Japanese ricefish... an IP spotted it just now and ripped out the sentence. Since it's all true apart from the name of the species, I'll put most of it back. I had somewhat naughtily hoped it would prove to be a hoax, but I don't think that's the case here... All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:39, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So good of you to have noticed that. My statement was, "All the species have diversified from a common ancestral fish (Oryzias latipes) about 113 million years ago." But If I had stated "...a common ancestral fish with that of [just for emphasis] Oryzias latipes..." it would have made perfect sense. The original source did say, "Further, [cichlids] being approximately 113 ± 11 Myr diverged from medaka (Oryzias latipes)." (Fan et al. 2012) It does create the impression that cichlids evolved from medaka, while it only means that they shared a common ancestor. In fact, it is now known that the ancestral lineage is the Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from which they diverged around ~15 mya. It is not a hoax, or a fatal mistake for that matter.

Indeed. I think it might be best if you felt like saying something like that in the article. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:14, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I have finally received a second peer review for your submitted malaria protein article. The peer review is located here. Please reply to the comments and/or amend the issues in the article, and let me know when you feel it is ready.

Best regards,

Thanks for your update! I've notified the peer reviewer, and if the update seems all right, I'll bring the article for editorial board decision shortly. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:36, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is under discussion in the editorial board now, and we should have a decision within a couple of days. There is also one additional editorial comment at: [1]

Thank you very much. I am grateful to Evolution and evolvability for the edits, and particularly for an excellent suggestion. I have added the image accordingly. Chhandama (talk) 09:42, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Please also reference to the image in the text too; probably either in the structure or function section. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:15, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was already cited in the function. Chhandama (talk) 03:09, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great. I can now announce that your article is published! Its entry on the main page includes some of the abstract: Wikiversity:WikiJournal of Medicine/Volume 4 Issue 1. Let me know if you want a different image or format there. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much indeed. Chhandama (talk) 09:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Also, the version in Wikipedia looks really nice! Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Symbiogenesis deals just with a couple instances of endosymbiosis, wherease the article on endosymbionts is the main article for endosymbiosis a general concept. The original article on endosymbiosis was merged with the one on endosymbionts for similar reasons that symbiont and symbiosis are one and the same article (currently located at symbiosis). --Njardarlogar (talk) 09:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying. However, I would argue that symbiogenesis and endosymbiosis are used to imply the same meaning in evolutionary biology; they both explain both the theory and the process (see some recent literature [2], [3], [4], etc. I cannot trace who first used endosymbiosis or endosymbiotic theory, but the better terminology (historically and technically, to my opinion) is symbiogenesis. It is precisely for this reason that I helped merging the page. Chhandama (talk) 03:14, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
