Protein-protein interaction prediction

Original research doesn't belong on wikipedia, as per WP:OR Jude (talk,contribs,email) 03:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not original research it is the overview of a field of study.

ok well please explain how it(the article) is original if

  • it has no "unpublished theories"
  • it has no "unpublished data"
  • it has no "unpublished concepts"
  • it has no "unpublished arguments"
  • it has no "unpublished ideas"
  • it has no "unpublished interpretations"
  • it has no "unpublished analysis'"
  • it has no "novel narrative or historical interpretation"

it is just a summary of what is published on the subject help me make it more apparent if you wish — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim@ (talk • contribs)


  • Keep User:Tim@ the silence hints that you don't know what you are talking about

"the only way to verifiably demonstrate that you are not doing original research is to cite reliable sources which provide information that is directly related to the article, and to adhere to what those sources say." The article does this, therefore this page does not violate WP:OR and should stay.

"Wikipedia is not an experiment in democracy. Its primary method of finding consensus is discussion, not voting. " perhaps all of you should find some grounds and warrants to support your clams before you make them. upon inspection of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Precedents#Original_research you will find that the page in question is not Original research. And it does belong in Wikipedia Until someone says something intelligent or any argument at all in opposition I will keep the page --Tim 04:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I fail to see how this is original research. It cites a great deal of secondary sources and it is not making any unfounded claims or analysis. I do not know much about the subject other than it exists and this is a valid area of research. kotepho 05:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Massively rewrite and cleanup. Tim@, to be honest this looks like a college project or a first attempt at writing a review article for a journal. It's not original research but it is highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not Bioinformatics. Articles here should be intended for a general audience. Ideally you would explain in terms a high schooler or college freshman could understand, 1) what are protein-protein interactions, 2) why it is useful to be able to predict them with a computer, and 3) the general principles involved. The only wikipedia article I have ever seen with 150 references was on Rathergate, and that because it is so controversial. You should aim for no more than a dozen, preferably review articles from easy to read journals like Current opinions in ______. You also need to review the Manual of Style and become more familiar with writing wiki-like articles. My recommendation is that you voluntarily withdraw the article and copy it into your user space (see WP:USER.) User pages are a great way to work on a complex article or figure out how to write a wiki article and they are not subject to (most of) the content guidelines of main article space.
