Hi, Haley275! Thanks for your useful contribution to the Ciliate article. I had to adjust the wording, because it seemed to suggest that in ciliates like Paramecium cell fission can be either meiotic or mitotic. That isn't the case. All ciliate cell division is mitotic (asexual). Meiosis certainly occurs within a cell, resulting in haploid ciliate micronuclei. However, following sex or autogamy, the products of nuclear meoisis then fuse (syngamy), and cell division (accompanied by the usual nuclear mitosis) follows later, as a separate event.
Aging of the clonal line was known already in the 19th century (thanks to experimental work by researchers like Maupas and Hertwig), and by the early 20th century it was understood that clonal populations could be revitalized by conjugation or autogamy. If you want to expand the section, it might be helpful to discuss the earlier work! Here's a paper that gives an overview of the history: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1004740325150 Deuterostome (Talk) 12:16, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Penaeus monodon into Crustacean. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:44, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AWP:WikiProject is a group of editors who like to work together on articles. If you're interested in improving health-related articles, you're welcome to join us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine. It's a good place to ask questions or to help each other out. If you'd like to, you're also welcome to join the informal, low-key contest about adding citations to articles: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikipedia/WikiProject_Medicine_reference_campaign_2023?enroll=qyoufwds (All you have to do is sign up at that link, and then edit normally.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cholecalciferol, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ... and at Taurocholic acid. The source you were adding to suggest a possible increased risk of cancer is primary research, which does not meet the sourcing standards of WP:MEDRS. See left pyramid of WP:MEDASSESS. Such research is far too preliminary to be used as evidence of anti-disease effect in the encyclopedia. Use MEDRS reviews. Zefr (talk) 22:25, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. I notice however that you have made multiple similar edits on different articles such as Chicken where you have created very short subsections, often unbalanced by any other subsections: i.e. this is a systemic issue with your edits, not a one-off. It's generally not advisable to create small subsections (or even small paragraphs, actually) as it puts undue weight on the addition as if it was the most important thing in the article, or at least the chapter. Further, Wikipedia puts punctuation before citations, not after; and it is courteous to format citations in the same style (e.g. using "cite journal") as the rest of the citations in an article. It'd be appreciated if you could adjust your edits to fit in to existing articles more smoothly. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
