Nice photo[edit]

Hi. That's a nice shot of Ironton! You wouldn't happen to have one of Coal Grove you could add as well, would you?

Re: Antigen vs. Immunogen[edit]

Please recall your entry on the discussion page for antigen at [[1]] I agree with you that something seems to be lacking in this definition. How about you and I discuss it a bit and perhaps be bold enough to update it?

For instance, I think antigens are any substance that is capable of exciting someone's immune system and provoking an immune response. That doesn't mean it will.

Also, I am beginning to think there is some symantic confusion over using the word antigenic. I think people often equate antigenic with immunogenic, when I am not convinced this is the case. In fact, I'm beginning to think that antigenic means "carrying antigens" rather than "causing an immunogenic response." I have a textbook written by Elaine N. Marieb that says "Pollen grains and microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and virus particles are antigenic because their surfaces bear ... foreign molecules."

I just finished a week on immunology in a molecular biology class I'm taking at the start of a master's program in biotechnology.

Anyway, let me know how you feel about this topic today. I am surprised it has been about a year since you posted your discussion note, and it appears that no-one has dealt with this yet.

Take care, Keesiewonder 02:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Untagged image[edit]

An image you uploaded, Image:Newaoalogo.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

VA Pont Park Image[edit]

Great photo! I took some last year there to submit to Wikipedia, but it was overcast and they were all crap. I had meant to go back out this summer, but I'm glad that you saved me the trip. Great work! If you could, however, can you add the datein which it was took to the image description? youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 01:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry so much about the exact date. Even something like "Summer of '04" or whatever would be fine. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 12:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lane stadium photo question[edit]

Hi Michael,

We met several years ago and talked about using your photo for a project. Alas, nothing came of that idea. We now have another idea and would like to use your photo again if you are still willing to let us do so. My cell is 610-322-8733 and my email is sgatter@presidentialpromotions.com. If you could get back to me that would be great.

An exciting month of wiki events![edit]

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon[edit]

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Better source request for File:WestwoodBCKY.gif[edit]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:54, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
