I've added a note at the top of Frederick Grinnell to point readers to Frederick Grinnell (biologist); we don't tend to create disambiguation pages for just two people with the same name. Incidentally, a particular welcome if you are in fact Professor Grinnell - Wikipedia always needs experts helping out, although as I'm sure you'll discover, we work on the basis of reliable sources that others can check rather than someone saying "I'm an expert so take my word for it!". You might want to have a read through WP:COI at some point, as it's not encouraged to write about yourself or people you're closely connected to. If I can help in any way, let me know (just leave a message on my talk page) or ask back at the help desk. Regards, and happy editing! Bencherlite ^Talk 22:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Frederick Grinnell (biologist). Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 19:07, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Fgrinnell. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Frederick Grinnell (biologist), you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 16:33, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE STOP EDITING THIS ARTICLE. Use the talk page to suggest changes.--ukexpat (talk) 19:15, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks. Fgrinnell (talk) 29 November 2012

The recent change that someone made has left undocumented the second paragraph. Either the specific journal references that were present previously should be added back: − Grinnell's scientific work contributed to the discovery of the biological adhesion protein fibronectin^[1] and helped to establish the importance of fibronectin in wound repair.^[2] Subsequently, his laboratory helped popularize the use of wound exudate to analyze the human wound environment and made the discovery that chronic wounds contain degraded fibronectin^[3] and high levels of proteolytic enzymes.^[4] His latest research has focused on the biomechanics of fibroblasts interacting with three dimensional collagen matrices.^[5]

or the new statement removing the journal referencs but documenting their extent of citations should be restored at the end of the second paragraph.

The papers describing this work have been cited almost 13,000 times.^[6]

Thanks. Fgrinnell (talk) 29 November 2012

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Fgrinnell! Your additions to Science fair have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Apparition¹¹ ^Complaints/Mistakes 11:37, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
