Category:Drugs by structure

Hi there - I'm hoping you can shed light on what it was you had in mind when you created Category:Drugs by structure, which I just came across. After looking through the contents, I found only 2 items that seem to have any possible reason for being placed in the category: Peptide therapeutics‎ and Small-molecule drug‎s - and honestly, I'm not sure either of them really makes sense either. Perhaps we can come up with a better name for the Category if you can explain the rationale for me? Regards, Anomalous+0 (talk) 07:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS - Please be sure to Ping me when you reply. Thanx. Anomalous+0 (talk) 07:56, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anomalous+0 I was trying to clean up the main drugs category by moving out subcategories that were about the structure / chemical composition rather than the function, of the drug. For example, drugs that contain deuterium or radioactive isotopes, those that are small molecules vs peptides. (t · c) buidhe 13:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Krikor Bogharian moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Krikor Bogharian. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JoeNMLC (talk) 14:25, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JoeNMLC, while I appreciate patrollers, the draftification is clearly inappropriate, because the article cites two scholarly sources that extensively discuss the article subject, and also support all of the content in the article. (t · c) buidhe 15:41, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I did not know that "Further reading" entries were sources. Thanks for letting me know. Still learning something new every day. Cheers, JoeNMLC (talk) 15:44, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Philippe Petain

Hey, some editor on Wikipedia Commons opted to unilaterally close the discussion you and I were involved in regarding the current lede image for Philippe Pétain on the grounds no valid reason was given for deletion. Is that permissible? Emiya1980 (talk) 00:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: In your post on the Rfc regarding Pétain‘s lede image, you indicated it wasn’t the first time that Yann has run roughshod over valid copyright concerns raised by other editors. If that’s the case, have you thought about reporting him to other admins?Emiya1980 (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Genocide article

IMO you are doing much-needed and really sterling work in 'pruning' and updating this bloated article. I hope it doesn't seem as though I'm merely 'sniping from the sidelines' while letting you do all the 'heavy lifting' (mixed metaphor?). I happily admit to knowing less about the academic aspect of the topic than you do and also to not having access to any half-decent libraries or academic sources. Pincrete (talk) 10:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pincrete no worries I appreciate your feedback on the talk page. However, I accessed most of the sources via WP:The Wikipedia Library which you should also be able to use. (t · c) buidhe 14:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
