#For most topics, and certainly when in doubt, it is better to create a new page within Proteopedia, and then put a link to Wikipedia on that Proteopedia page on the same topic. This provides a place to emphasize aspects of the topic important to Proteopedia, even though these aspects may be mentioned somewhere in Wikipedia's article. For example, the Proteopedia page on the Protein Data Bank could emphasize that new entries are released weekly, and that following each weekly release, new Proteopedia pages are created for each new entry automatically, a process called "seeding". However, the Proteopedia page on the Protein Data Bank need not repeat everything that Wikipedia says, and should certainly link to the Wikipedia article for more information. Also, we don't want to scatter links to Wikipedia's articles throughout Proteopedia articles, and then later realize it would have been better to have all those links go to to a Proteopedia article (which in turn links to Wikipedia). This would probably create a maintenance problem, trying to find and update all those links. | #For most topics, and certainly when in doubt, it is better to create a new page within Proteopedia, and then put a link to Wikipedia on that Proteopedia page on the same topic.

==Please Don't Delete Abstracts== | |||
Pages titled with a [[PDB identification code]] are initially created automatically, and include the ''Publication Abstract from PubMed'' copied from the paper reporting the [[PDB]] entry. Even if you write a better overview of the paper or the structure, please do not remove the published abstract. It is OK to put manually-created content first, leaving the published abstract at the bottom of the page. | |||
