Sorry to put my request here on the discussion page. If I knew enough about this topic to know exactly where it should be situated in the hierarchy of ideas, I probably could have written the article myself. Anyway, "Methyl Guanine Methyl Transferase (MGMT)" is an enzyme (???!) associated with a gene (???!) associated with glioblastoma (and with other types of tumors and possibly cells in general, for all I know). I edit consent forms for research subjects and was looking for a concise explanation to include in a background section. I'll have to keep Googling.
If someone can at least put this topic in the right place in the requested articles outline, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

The merging here of Wikipedia:Requested articles/mathematics having been done without any discussion or consultation, I have recreated the old page there. It was active and useful in that form; I don't see any great advantage in the change. Charles Matthews 06:45, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
1. Fabric softener and stuff in the weather section.
2. Why don't people put in pictures into articles? It makes more sense to be visual.
So, I see there are some seperate categories for some types of scientist:
astronomers,
physicists
In
Wikipedia:Requested_articles#Topic_areas_in_natural_sciences it lists:
biologists (which doesn't go anywhere)
And not on the main page, but within the Natural_sciences is listed:
chemists
But there's no catch-all category for "Scientist" if you don't know what type of science a person whom you'd like to learn more about (why you're requesting an article in the first place) does. And how would I pick which category to put Benjamin Franklin, for example? I propose that people/scientists be a category within Natural_sciences with the specific type of person sub-divided out..
People in science/Scientists Astronmers Biologists Chemists Earth Scientists Physicists Materials Scientists Multi-Category & Other
With those original categories/pointers directing to it...

Why do we have duplicate request pages for science and math? - Anon
I don't know where to place this request, so I'm putting it here. (Also, I felt the description of the condition was important, I don't have access to enough facts to write the article myself.) You should have an article about a sickness that happens when you eat undercooked pork and yams. It's often fatal and a prolonged fight to cure. I read about it in Discover Magazine quite a few years ago. (About 1996 I think.) I don't know the scientific name for this sickness, but the natives of the Polynesian island call it "pig gut". The description of the disease was awful. I don't have the copy of the magazine anymore, and I cannot find any trace of a mention of this on the internet either. Can someone who has the facts please write this article?
I found the article, now can someone write an entry about this illness please?
http://discovermagazine.com/1995/feb/thebeastinthebel466/?searchterm=Pig%20Gut
It is actually called Pigbel, and it is known as enteritis necroticans to medical practicioners. Let me see if there is an article on that already. There is! Now to see if it refers to the Discover article. 72.205.228.80 ( talk) 15:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
What do people think? Better than half of the page is now anatomical terms, most of which were added a week ago in one big lump. Until these are written, condensed, and culled, would it make sense to move them to a subpage? -- TenOfAllTrades 07:39, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I've sorted the the chemistry and laboratory section into some subheadings. It's also been realphabetized, and misplaced terms have been moved to the correct parts of this page. I hope people find it useful. -- TenOfAllTrades 19:15, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I'm going to help reorganize the Computer Science section. Don't mess it up and reverse it back into place please. -- Cyberman 02:08, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Computing and information technology surely belong in "applied arts and sciences", but theoretical computer science should probably be grouped with "mathematics"? -- The Anome 20:19, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
User:Erebus555 recently added little alphabetical labels in all of the request categories. I am sure he means well, but I feel this looks ugly and is rather unneccesary for many of the small groups (for example where there are fewer requests than letters in the alphabet). Unless other people feel strongly about keeping them, I will go through and pull them out in places where there are fewer than 20 or so requests. Dragons flight 00:48, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
Are we supposed to delete page links we've created (or at least stubified)? -- Jotomicron | talk 17:49, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I think the resposible person(s) (which I don't know...) shoud make an improvement to the User:RABot: look ate this edit done by it. In the line 1494 (if I'm not mistaken), it removes '', producing a syntax error that would be catched by the Wiki Syntax WikiProject. -- Jotomicron | talk 01:06, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the request for an 'Anticlone' page because this word most likely does not mean anything in meteorology. Whoever wanted the page probably was requesting 'Anticyclone', which already exists. If you do want 'Anticlone', at least create the page and indicate what it is supposed to contain. -- Michel M Verstraete 19:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC).
Neither term describes a specific receptor or class of receptors. Settersr 12:23, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Ganulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor is a more specific term and is already listed. Settersr 12:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Too general -- does not describe a specific receptor or class of receptors. Settersr 12:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Mitogen receptor is too general and I'm not sure what Minute Map is supposed to refer to, but it is not a receptor protein. Settersr 13:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
To my knowledge, flippase is an enzyme not a receptor Settersr 14:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
There is no need for seperate entries for each subtype of a receptor (i.e. Purinerger P1, P2 etc...) This adds needless complexity and bulk Settersr 14:12, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
There is no such receptor and the british spelling of hemagllutanin is not needed can be redirected in. Settersr 14:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
HIV binds to CD4 and CCR5 which are both listed separately -- there is no specific HIV receptor so I removed it. I removed Hemagglutanin from the receptor section since it is not a receptor and hemagglutanin is already listed in the protein section. Settersr 14:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Spelling error (glutamatergic is correct) which , when corrected refers to topics already covered. Settersr 14:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Way too general as each class of cytokines (Interleukins, growth factors, etc) has several members that each have several receptors. Settersr 14:54, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

My request is for more than merely a few sample problems and a few sample solutions, as might be suggested by the light-bulb illustration in the flowchart article.
I am requesting a flowchart which connects as many as possible of the hundreds of environmental problems currently known to humans, and which shows by arrows their causal interrelationships. As humans discover more problems and more connections, they can be added. As the flowchart grows, it would probably be helpful to divide it into separate pages, possibly by fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, geology, oceanography, meteorology, astronomy, and others, although it should be remembered and shown that problems are interrelated between those fields (and not only within them).
Everything in the previous paragraph about problems applies equally to solutions. Wavelength 14:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I added a brief paragraph on generalized parton distributions to Parton (particle physics) under the section on parton distribution functions. Generalized parton distributions now redirects there. Since there is so little on ordinary parton distribution functions in Wikipedia, I felt that generalized pdf's didn't warrant their own page. HEL 02:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
From the Wikipedia article on Hydro: "Hydro" as an adjective or noun, is sometimes used as a short form for hydroelectricity. In areas where hydroelectrical power is prevalent, such as Canada, it is essentially a synonym for "electricity services" or "mains." The linked external article is an interview with a guy near Ottawa, Canada, where the term "hydro" is used in place of "electrical power". So "hydro wires" are just electrical transmission lines.

I work in the Environmental Science field, and SOIL SCIENCE is a critically important but often-overlooked component of the world we live in. This can be loosely placed in the "Geology" section, although even "Geology" doesn't really have its own section.
