Articles that you don't expect NOT to be in Wikipedia Options

Cell bank

Still rather rough, obviously, but there it is. I'm probably going to add a Types section to discuss the different types of organizations (stem cells and all of their variations, lymphoma, etcetera).

Don't forget to link with tissue bank and biomedical tissue.

As a See Also, sure, but I don't think tissue banks have the same processes as cell banks do. They're rather different.

Depends on the tissue. If it's living tissue, it's identical, since all living tissue is stored as cells. Caveats are the very few living "bulk tissues" stored, which are skin and corneas (a matter of surface/volume ratios plus no need for preservation of vessals). Skin can be frozen. Corneas cannot yet to be stored in liquid nitrogen or fully cryogenically, but they will very soon.

Of course, Mikasa is no longer owned by Arc International, as it was acquired by Lifetime Brands, in 2008. Wikipedia hasn't caught up with that yet.

Over four months and 10,000+ page views later, Wikipedia's still goin' wrong.

Fixed, I think.

I'll give you a C-plus. Your edit summary ("→Brands: Add info on acquisition") makes no attempt to properly attribute to me the idea for your edit. Once again, Wikipedia spits in the face of the time-honored tradition of "credit where credit's due".

I think I will stop giving away these wonderful ideas I have for improving Wikipedia.

That has absolutely nothing to do with "credit" I'm the one that added the sentence in my own words, and i'm the one that added the formatted reference.

The same with the Cell bank article. I'm the one that wrote it in its entirety, i'm the one that referenced it, you did nothing beyond point out that an article didn't exist on the subject.

If that's what "credit" means, then I would have to give credit to the Freakangels webcomic for mentioning Salter's duck, which led to me making an article on it. And there's no way in hell i'm doing that.

Think Kohs typed that with tongue decidedly in cheek.

Just as there's no way in hell I'm (note, capitalization) going to keep giving you these gem-quality ideas that you transform into easy lay-ups and score points with your WikiCult brethren. I'll endeavor to return to my own wiki site and start making (copyrighted) articles about the things I think should be on Wikipedia, but aren't.

No hard feelings... but you suck at drama.

Yes, but he is also meaning to be annoying and insulting, because he's certainly never nice when he's talking to me.


No worries, Kohser, I already have a pretty long list of things to work on anyways. I don't need you. Never did, really.

Get outta here, then, fur-ball.

Worse than that - FURSECUTION!!!!

Whoa there, Allie! Let's not be so quick to drop the F-bomb and give Kohs the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there are other furries, perhaps chinchillas or North American salt water beavers, that he happily collaborates with.

I think it would be supportive of fur-tolerant Kohs if we all picked a fursona and matching avatar for a week if we post in a thread of his.

I'll start it off.

I support this idea as part of an initiative for a kinder, gentler Wikipedia Review.

Wait a second, can my avatar be a fursona per se or do feathers not count? If not I call Vancouver Island marmot.

[Zoloft]

Independent producer who championed the controversial film Black Like Me and victim of the Red Channels blacklist, Julius Tannenbaum. No article. All the sources are in old books and magazines.

Saccharomyces diastaticus: a "wild" yeast notorious amongst brewers for over-attenuating beer by breaking down dextrins left untouched by its milder cousin, diastaticus has been spliced into various fuel producing yeasts and even tweaked into producing fuel ethanol from xylose and other materials.

*Marmots around a bit. Roots for Canucks.*

I find all of this very hilarious.

Bird fursonas are called avians.

Reptile fursonas are called scalies.

Anything more obscure than that (insects?) don't have specific titles.

[lilburne]

I claim all three.

Where's the article on scalies? Same goes for chitinies (covering both insects and fungi) and spinies (or do mammal spines usually qualify as fur? hmm). In fact, where is the comprehensive article on furry taxonomy?!

You guys think you're so funny, don't you?
