Hi there! I am not part of this Wikiproject, but I am a Wikigraphist. I am interested in improving Wikipedia’s visual content and I built a tool that could help detect visual gaps in Wikiprojects.

I called it Visual Content Assessment Tool, or simply VCAT.

A working version of VCAT with data for Wikiproject Neuroscience already extracted by me on 26/07/2023 can be found at VCAT-dashboard. You can always extract fresh data for any Wikiproject using the extraction tool, a command line tool I created for this purpose.

Some of the actions you can do with this tool are:

• Monitoring the visual content coverage in a Wikiproject
• Detecting articles needing images (eg. articles without images)
• Detecting low resolution images to improve (eg. raster diagrams to be vectorized)

Then you can ask for image creation or vectorization on the Graphics Lab.

What do you think? Could it be a useful tool? MingoBerlingo (talk)

In Talk:Current sources and sinks we are discussing to move the article to a better name. As it seems like a neuroscience topic I cannot tell what would be the best name. Any help is appreciated. ReyHahn (talk) 14:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

I have nominated Hippocampus for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Synapsing is used across quite a few articles - would Synapse be an appropriate target, or is there a better destination? Tule-hog (talk) 22:53, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, making it a redirect to Synapse would be the right way to go. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:25, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

I've been a science teacher (I taught AP Bio twice). I ran across this reading about Denisovans. Could anyone update this fascinating article? Bearian (talk) 10:33, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Could you please clarify how these two topics are related? I must be missing it. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:00, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

• Look for "trace amine" in the Denisovan article. --Randykitty (talk) 17:14, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Looks to me like it's the penultimate paragraph in Denisovan#Modern humans, sourced to: . I'm having trouble seeing how this would be WP:DUE for the receptor article. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:26, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
