Wikipedia talk:Requested articles/Natural sciences

message: 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.
:- Me too, I'm just another newbie who is also dazed sleep deprived new mom...  There is no page for "Vaginal Contraceptive Film" although VCF attempts to link too it.  I'm too tired to wade through stats and whatnot and write a cohesive article.  I don't know where to stick the request Biology? Drugs?
:-Soooo ummmmm yeah... if someone wanted to write it that would be great!

message: 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)

message: Why do we have duplicate request pages for science and math? - Anon
* There was another, apparently older, request page for science and math located at Wikipedia:Requested_articles/science containing many, many requests. It annoyed me, so I took the time to merge it into this page. I hope that I did everything correctly: it's very late. ClockworkTroll 07:08, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

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)

message: 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)

message: 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.

message: I added a brief paragraph on generalized parton distributions to Parton (particle physics) under the section on parton distribution functions.

message: 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.
