GNR contributions
Hey I want to personally thank you for all the contributions you have made to several guns N Roses related articles. I dedicated a lot of time to upgrade the Guns N' Roses article. I added lots of pictures and completly re-wrote entire parts of the it. I have submited it for Featured Article status two times but it has been defeated on the grounds that it does not have a Neutral Point of view. If you are interested, contact me to see if we can work together to achieve the FA for Guns N' Roses. C ya! <> 16:47, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the complements! I would be willing to help you on bringing Guns N' Roses to the FA. Snkcube 14:54, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Comments from other Users
Hi, I'm the creator of the Yuki Isoya page you recently made an edit to. It said you un-italicized the name YUKI in the second paragraph, however, I never had it italicized to begin with... and there are no edits to the artcile aside from mine and your's (the 69.etc IP is also myself, I forgot to log in) Just wanted to know if that's all your changed or if Wiki burped. hehe, thanks. Natsuki 22:34, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Hey Natsuki! Yeah, that's all I changed. It's pretty strange... I guess Wiki messed it up just a tiny bit. =] ---Snkcube 15:40, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Yuki Isoya Again
Hi, I was wondering why you excessively linked all the dates on Yuki Isoya. I don't see any valid purpose for it... -- NatsukiGirl \talk 02:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey again! I actually didn't do the linking(s). Rich Farmbrough did and I just removed a lot of it. --Snkcube 03:09, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Team Fortress 2
Please stop reverting the document. Your wording makes less gramatical sense, and introduces inaccuracies. --Tom Edwards 07:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * If you read the first sentence, it just doesn't sound right at all. Plus, it's incorrect. --Snkcube 23:26, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The style may well be down to personal prefence, I admit, but my reverts certainly aren't incorrect. I'm the one who trawled the code to find the information, after all. ;-) --Tom Edwards 08:13, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, I won't be doing edits to that part of the paragraph anymore. I'll do some other parts then. =) --Snkcube 03:42, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The good guys
You know, instead of just listing an article for cleanup, it's helpful to the creator of the page and to others to know what needs fixed. Next time, please leave some notes in the article's discussion page for reference. Coolgamer 15:46, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

DOA
Regarding you DOA character edits, and specifically the info boxes, the blood type should probaly remain linked to the Japan blood type theory of personality, as that is what it was obviously referenced to when it was put in the game. Since you made the edit I'm just letting you know in case you'd rather change it yourself.-- Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk 21:08, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The only way I can link the blood type to that page is to modify the template itself. I might do that if you me want to. --Snkcube 22:00, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It would make sense, as its the primary reasoning when a developer includes blood type in a videogame, much akin to how characters in media are often given zodiac signs and such to develop a personality base. -- Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk 03:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Naruto
Just wanted to point out that there's a discussion on Talk:Naruto (manga) about NarutoFan and (illegally) charging money for fansubs, and whether the link should be included. Were you aware of this when you re-added the site? --Pentasyllabic 07:29, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I actually re-added the link before seeing the talk page. So I wasn't aware of it. Should I not add NarutoFan until the whole debate thing is over? --Snkcube 05:29, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Note to you
I am sorry, but you did not do your homework on the Sega Direct of Japan re-issue of refurbished units being resold. The link below is included to back this statement. The German information was wrong in stating that they were selling new console units, it was only a mistake translating the Japanese into German.

I realize you are doing what you think is correct and I respect this greatly, but I am a reseacher/engineer by profession in the audio/video industry - we have direct corporate association with companies like Sega.

Sorry for the mis-information you were given.

Thanks!
Thanks for your kind words! Nach0king 09:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem, Nach0king. =) --Snkcube 04:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Christie
You do realize that inserting both "right" and "thumb" on an image is redundant, correct...? :) -ZeroTalk 11:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hmm, you do have a point. I was just trying to move the picture so the edit buttons won't get crammed into each other. --Snkcube 11:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

The Blue Hearts
Hi there! Just wondering, what excatly is it you have against the blue hearts? THanks! 203.112.2.212 13:21, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't have anything against The Blue Hearts. Actaully, I mistakenly unlinked them in the Puffy AmiYumi article. I'll re-link them for you. Sorry if I confused you or anything. --Snkcube 02:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Maria Swan
You reverted my edits for Maria Swan and I changed them back. Playboy magazine is considered pornographic and they do not engage in sexual acts. It says on her page that she does erotic work and the websites I am directed to are porn sites. I really dont feel that we should blur the lines between super and fashion models between more erotic models for better categorization. I feel that this helps people find what they are looking for. It's up to you but I would prefer if you leave it the way it is.

Thanks,

Jerry Jones 19:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It's no big deal. After thinking about it, I guess you're right about this. --Snkcube 07:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

DOA U
Good job cleaning up the article!:P
 * >x<ino 15:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks! It took a while to do so too. =D --Snkcube 01:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

CS Map Articles
Hello, I just wanted to let you know (as someone who worked on them) that all of the Counter-Strike map articles are up for deletion. --Varco 17:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I've been reading about the article deletion. A merge to the Counter-Strike maps Wiki article is the best choice. --Snkcube 07:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Two image problems
One is the Puffy AmiYumi image you had posted on their article (or reposted, since it had been there before). Although a source is given, no proper copyright information was given for the image (just putting the proper copyright tag doesn't fully count.).

Also — and this one could get you in more trouble — that anime image has to be taken off of your user page, per WP:FUC #9, which prohibts images from being used anywhere other than on articles. --Cjmarsicano 14:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Ah, I see. I'll try to fix up the image. And I'm fine with the anime image off my user page. --Snkcube 19:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

DeJap - "pretty much dead"
Is there a reason the "pretty much dead" line has been removed from the DeJap Translations article? Any objections to my readding it? TerraFrost 05:16, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't really know why that line was removed. I mean, DeJap is basically dead from my point of view. You can re-add the line back if you want. --Snkcube 20:27, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Winamp
what is the reason of reverting my winamp external link add ?

 * There was already a link containing old versions of Winamp. --Snkcube 06:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

User boxes

 * You may enjoy this user box on your use page! Thanks for all your help to the wikipedia! This is a friendly thank you! :) --DragonWR12LB 19:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Haha, thanks for the suggestion and comment. I appreciate it a lot. --Snkcube 22:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Video game images: 250px vs. 256px
Hello, noticed you weren't too happy about my changing the images in some video game articles (i.e. Zelda II, Zelda:LttP) from 250px wide to 256px wide :) Let me explain — on every computer I've tested this on, 256px widths provide an attractive, perfectly symmetrical whitespace border within infobox CVG. 250, unfortunately, creates a mismatched proportion between vertical whitespace and horizontal whitespace.  It's rather subtle, but it's there, and it drives me crazy :)  Please test this for yourself. I wouldn't think it'd look different on your system(s) than on mine. I've tested this in multiple browsers, too. In light of this, is there any good reason to force them to stay at 250? In the absence of any reply here I will eventually change them again. --Ecksemmess 13:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Ah, I'm sorry about doing those changes. I didn't realized my mistakes after editing the article. It's just that I'm used to seeing pictures that end with either a 5 or 0 on the last digit of the pixel count. Once again, I apologize about the edits I've done. --Snkcube 07:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

 * No worries :) I'll change them back to 256. --Ecksemmess 09:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

One of your pictures
There's a free image of Sakura Sena on Commons; however, it has the same name as the fair use one you uploaded. The commons one is. Is it okay if I delete the fair use one, letting the commons one come through? --Golbez 05:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * You can delete the picture I uploaded. It's better to use the Commons' picture anyways. --Snkcube 06:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II

 * Your reversions of my wikilinking of the song titles is utterly retarded, but I don't feel like getting into an edit war over something so petty (but it seems you do), so fine... have it your way. Make users search through 5+ paragraphs of text so they can find the one song they're looking for. And your refusal to leave edit summaries for your reversions is amateurish and counter-productive.  I explained my rationale for my edits... it seems you can't.--Hraefen Talk 15:06, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Articles with multiple links doesn't seem right. And what's wrong with reading through five+ paragraphs? It doesn't hurt at all. And about not leaving edit summaries, these type of edits occured so many times that I got tired of explaining it. Dig through the edit history if you want. And no, I don't want to argue about something so small. If you want to settle this problem, then tell me how you want to do it. --Snkcube 07:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Snkcube.

You seem to have something against the track listing wikilinks right? That's around the 10th time you've reverted a wikilink! Only you too. Not arguing, only telling you that. Other songs have wikilink in the track listing. If one particular song doesn't need a link, than the link should be replaced in a similar matter to the previous songs. Josh215 22:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, it's more like the songs are already linked in the article and it doesn't need to be linked twice. However, if an album article needs to have the track listing songs linked, then you can go right ahead and re-link them. --Snkcube 07:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks
thanks for deleting my comments from the hddvd talk page. very nice of you. it's not like it was relevant or anything.

 * Your comment in the HD DVD talk page wasn't related to the article. And HD DVD didn't "win" at all. --Snkcube 22:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Why are you removing reference links?
Why are you removing links in the reference sections from articles? (Sora Aoi for example.) These are not footnotes for a particular fact, which would justify use of the, but links to an external database containing facts used throughout the articles. Dekkappai 20:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, Snkcube. I might have been a bit abrupt above. I've been trying to figure out which of us is right in this Reference section matter. Apparently there is more than one interpretation as to what a Reference section should be. To my way of thinking, it is not a section to link to notes within the text. That would be a Footnotes section. What I had in mind for the References is a collection of all the materials used in writing the article. This seems to be reflected here: -- "Complete citations, also called "references", are collected at the end of the article under a ==References== heading. Under this heading, list the comprehensive reference information as a bulleted ( * ) list, one bullet per reference work." Anyway, my point is that the source should be cited as a source for facts presented throughout the entire article in this case, not footnoted to one particular fact.
 * No hard feelings, I hope. Dekkappai 21:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The links you posted on those articles doesn't seem like they provide any information, except for their stats. If it's that important, then you can leave those links then. --Snkcube 17:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Nintendo World
Thank you for cleaning up my edit. I was half asleep :D *ps. the wii will rule!* Cocopopz2005 13:09, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem. =) --Snkcube 17:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sakura Sena.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sakura Sena.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 22:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. --Yamla 03:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The link that is currently used for the source has been modified by an anonymous user. I tried to revert back to the original link, but you decided to use the vandalized link. I believe you misunderstood my edit. However, it seems like the original source link I used has re-directed to a porn site, which isn't correct. --Snkcube 08:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

There's Something In My Front Pocket
Hi! Just curious as to why you removed the lyrics to "There's Something In My Front Pocket" from the "You Got F'ed in the A" South Park page? Captain Infinity 13:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Lyrics aren't allowed on Wikipedia, due to copyright issues. --Snkcube 21:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

But it's not a real, published song. It's just the thing that Butters dances to. It could be considered like any other quote from the show.Captain Infinity 23:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I guess if it's not copyrighted or real, it's okay to put it on the page. --Snkcube 09:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Stop deleting my discussions!
As a member of Wikipeida, I find that your deletion of my discussions on the DOA's Ayane and Kokoro pages illegal and out of line. You did it twice to me, which is two time too many. I have the right to discuss what you deleted. Don't do it agian!--BigMac1212 01:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The discussion(s) you did weren't even related to CHANGES to the articles themselves. Remember, talk pages aren't forums. It's not my rules, it's Wikipedia's own policy. --Snkcube 08:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:53, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Ivan Loveridge Bennett
I have added a "" template to the article Ivan Loveridge Bennett, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Hdr-torch.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Hdr-torch.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Boorana

The Boorana (also known as Borana) are one of the two major subgroups of the Oromo people. A Cushitic ethnic group, they primarily inhabit the Borena Zone of the Oromia Region of Ethiopia and the former Eastern Province in northern Kenya, specifically Marsabit County. They speak a distinct dialect of the Oromo language by the same name, Boorana. The Boorana people are notable for practicing the Gadaa system without interruption.

Demography and language
Through the Gadha system, the Boranas are believed to have conquered and protected their territories until the second world war when they were overpowered by colonial policies. Since they were semi-nomadic, their population growth did not match that of their neighbors both in Kenya and Ethiopia, which put them at risk of losing much of their territory. Today, they make up the majority of the population in Moyale and the surrounding region.

For generations, Borana men have dedicated themselves to extracting salt from the crater of an extinct volcano called "Chew Bet" located in southern Ethiopia. After having extracted the salt in a very hard way, the salt is sold at a good price since it is a highly appreciated commodity in this region.

Those in Kenya and Ethiopia speak the Borana language that is closely related to the Oromo, which is part of the Cushitic branch of the large Afro-Asiatic language family. In the border regions of Ethiopia-Kenya and southwestern Somalia, one estimate places about 1,094,000 people as Boranas. Another estimate in 2019 suggests 874,000 Boranas in Ethiopia, 210,000 in Kenya and 10,000 in Somalia.

Borana Gadaa system
The Borana have had their own form of government system for the last 568 years, recognized by UNESCO as a heritage that needs to be protected. The system covers political, social, economic and spiritual ways of life.

Politically, it has a system of government where the overall leader is God himself and many unknown things are referred as 'Waqa Bekh', a sentence that can be equated to a Supreme Being knows. The second in command who is also the supreme leader of the whole Borana community is referred to as Abagadha. The Abagadha is the person in charge of all affairs of the Borana community and answerable to the Gumi Gayo (parliament).

Abagadha is anointed at an early age of 1-8 years. The Abagadha and others of his age pass through an education system that will last for forty years after which he will take over the leadership as Abagadha. He and his team will vote from 17 sub-clans of Borana, one parliament member from each sub-clan. The parliament, called Gumi Gayo, functions just like a present day senate with the same roles.

Economy
Economically from time immemorial up to the present, the Borana have laws that are passed in the Gumi Gayo covering Borana traditional land and natural resources. Since Boranas were mixed farmers rearing cattle, camels, goats and planting food crops; farming land, grazing land, water sources and their traditional boundaries are paramount to them and in many cases fights broke out between Borana and their neighbors who take advantage of Borana kindness and forcefully rear their animals in Borana grazing land and take over some of the Borana water sources, traditionally called Tula Saglan. Presently the Borana boundaries have been infiltrated by the three governments surrounding Borana territory, these include Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.

Due to this the Borana have lost much of their top grazing land far from their central area where they used to take their animals during the drought. They are economically affected and politically caught between these colonial governments and many struggles between them. As of today the nine wells of Borana (Tulla Saglan), traditional settlements and their traditional grazing land are scattered across these colonial boundaries and others are inaccessible to the larger Boranas.

Socially, Boranas were known to be very kind people especially to the visitors, a weakness that all these three colonial governments used to strip off them most of their ancestral heritages not limited to land, water sources, natural resources and top grazing areas. Boranas harmoniously lived with their neighbors through sharing and helping during hard times like prolonged drought seasons, till colonial powers set in and instigated colonial wars and redrew the African territories into colonial boundaries.

Religion
Spiritually, Boranas believe that there is a supreme Being in charge of their worldly affairs and upper dominion, they believe that there is a creator called 'WAQ'. Many Borana people prefer to be Muslims rather than Christians since the religion of Islam concurs in many ways with their tradition. Years ago Boranas became Muslims, three time of three consecutive Abagadhas and goes back to fully to their tradition three consecutive Abagadhas after this. Since then their system remains full tradition. But still, there are Boranas who are Muslims and others who are Christians as well and they all value their system as an asset.

Spiritually, Boranas have a supreme spiritual leader known as Fite Qalu. Besides being a supreme spirituality in charge of prayer in all Borana gatherings, including the Borana parliament, he is also in charge of administration, who appoints other Qalu, putting them in charge of smaller administration units, which can be equated to a present state president, a Qalu who in turn appoints other smaller administrators in his jurisdiction called Jalab (governor) who are respectively in charge of smaller administration, meaning one Qalu is in charge of many Jalab under his state. Accordingly, the Jalab appoints Qae (village) in charge of villages under him. Qae is answerable to Jalab, Jalab is answerable to Qalu, and Qalu is answerable to Fite Qalu. Only Fite Qalu and Qalu have an authority to make a prayer in all gatherings, Jalab and Qae are deprived of that role. No Borana gatherings are recognized without the presence of either Fite Qalu or Qalu who opens the gatherings with a prayer.

The Boranas also have special warriors that defend the community from any enemies. They are in the last stage to the Gadaa stage and are in one part of stages of the Borana system. Only those between 32-40 years are allowed to be part of this special Borana Defense Forces. They are all in an immediate stage to the Gadaa stage called Dori. They serve their community for eight years and meet three times in those years. The first meeting takes place before they depart to different regions of Borana for community protection. The second meeting is after four years. And they meet a last time, again, at the end of their eight years making a ceremony of giving the roles and power of protection to other upcoming members of that age of Dori who were in Raba before. Their time cuts across two consecutive supreme leaders and they serve and take instructions from both.

Helpme
Here's my question:

I am interested in getting more seriously involved in wikipedia editing. I know the way to do it is just edit more, but there are still questions that I need answered. I've been doing my best to find them on my own, but I have many - is there anywhere that has a rough guide of the steps that you can take from being a casual editor to a serious one? The way I see it, you go from

Reader -> editor (anonymous) -> editor (username, but casual infrequent or minor edits) -> editor (serious!)

At least, that's the path I'd like to take. I want to know more about how to get involved in various projects, how to add all the neat formatting about my interests/contributions to my userpage, and more about page formatting than I know right now. I've got a handle on links and sections, I think, but there's a lot more I'm not nearly as familiar with. Is there somewhere that gives people an idea about how they can start taking this project more seriously? Most of the help I can easily find seems to be aimed at people who are making the transition from reader to casual editor. I'd appreciate any advice one of you veterans can offer me. MrCheshire 18:03, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Myself, I've found that it is really just the more you edit, the more you become familiar with the tools, I find a new feature almost every day in the course of editing - as to how serious you are, thats entirely your own prerogative. :) Manual of Style and Guide to layout are the pages that go over generally how an article should be done and what should be included (with many, many links to further reading) With most projects, it is just a matter of finding the project page and reading their guidelines, and putting your name on their list... then editing articles in that field. -Dawson 18:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * There isn't much more to know. The key skills I think are: linking, headings, bold/italic, redirects, page moves, tables and templates (which are just tables in the Template namespace, and let you set out content in a powerful way. The best to use tables is just copying and pasting from other articles that make use of the features you want). I have given you some links to these skills, but essentially they way we all learnt is just by working on the encyclopedia and needing to use one of these skills.--Commander Keane 18:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

E2F

E2F is a group of genes that encodes a family of transcription factors (TF) in higher eukaryotes. Three of them are activators: E2F1, 2 and E2F3a. Six others act as suppressors: E2F3b, E2F4-8. All of them are involved in the cell cycle regulation and synthesis of DNA in mammalian cells. E2Fs as TFs bind to the TTTCCCGC (or slight variations of this sequence) consensus binding site in the target promoter sequence.

E2F family
Schematic diagram of the amino acid sequences of E2F family members (N-terminus to the left, C-terminus to the right) highlighting the relative locations of functional domains within each member:

Genes
Homo sapiens E2F1 mRNA or E2F1 protein sequences from NCBI protein and nucleotide database.

Structure
X-ray crystallographic analysis has shown that the E2F family of transcription factors has a fold similar to the winged-helix DNA-binding motif.

Role in the cell cycle

E2F family members play a major role during the G1/S transition in mammalian and plant cell cycle (see KEGG cell cycle pathway). DNA microarray analysis reveals unique sets of target promoters among E2F family members suggesting that each protein has a unique role in the cell cycle. Among E2F transcriptional targets are cyclins, CDKs, checkpoints regulators, DNA repair and replication proteins. Nonetheless, there is a great deal of redundancy among the family members. Mouse embryos lacking E2F1, E2F2, and one of the E2F3 isoforms, can develop normally when either E2F3a or E2F3b, is expressed.

The E2F family is generally split by function into two groups: transcription activators and repressors. Activators such as E2F1, E2F2, E2F3a promote and help carryout the cell cycle, while repressors inhibit the cell cycle. Yet, both sets of E2F have similar domains. E2F1-6 have DP1,2 heterodimerization domain which allows them to bind to DP1 or DP2, proteins distantly related to E2F. Binding with DP1,2 provides a second DNA binding site, increasing E2F binding stability. Most E2F have a pocket protein binding domain. Pocket proteins such as pRB and related proteins p107 and p130, can bind to E2F when hypophosphorylated. In activators, E2F binding with pRB has been shown to mask the transactivation domain responsible for transcription activation. In repressors E2F4 and E2F5, pocket protein binding (more often p107 and p130 than pRB) mediates recruitment of repression complexes to silence target genes. E2F6, E2F7, and E2F8 do not have pocket protein binding sites and their mechanism for gene silencing is unclear. Cdk4(6)/cyclin D and cdk2/cyclin E phosphorylate pRB and related pocket proteins allowing them to disassociate from E2F. Activator E2F proteins can then transcribe S phase promoting genes. In REF52 cells, overexpression of activator E2F1 is able to push quiescent cells into S phase. While repressors E2F4 and 5 do not alter cell proliferation, they mediate G1 arrest.

E2F activator levels are cyclic, with maximal expression during G1/S. In contrast, E2F repressors stay constant, especially since they are often expressed in quiescent cells. Specifically, E2F5 is only expressed in terminally differentiated cells in mice. The balance between repressor and activator E2F regulate cell cycle progression. When activator E2F family proteins are knocked out, repressors become active to inhibit E2F target genes.

E2F/pRb complexes
The Rb tumor suppressor protein (pRb) binds to the E2F1 transcription factor preventing it from interacting with the cell's transcription machinery. In the absence of pRb, E2F1 (along with its binding partner DP1) mediates the trans-activation of E2F1 target genes that facilitate the G1/S transition and S-phase. E2F targets genes that encode proteins involved in DNA replication (for example DNA polymerase, thymidine kinase, dihydrofolate reductase and cdc6), and chromosomal replication (replication origin-binding protein HsOrc1 and MCM5). When cells are not proliferating, E2F DNA binding sites contribute to transcriptional repression. In vivo footprinting experiments obtained on Cdc2 and B-myb promoters demonstrated E2F DNA binding site occupation during G0 and early G1, when E2F is in transcriptional repressive complexes with the pocket proteins.

pRb is one of the targets of the oncogenic human papilloma virus protein E7, and human adenovirus protein E1A. By binding to pRB, they stop the regulation of E2F transcription factors and drive the cell cycle to enable virus genome replication.

Activators: E2F1, E2F2, E2F3a
Activators are maximally expressed late in G1 and can be found in association with E2F regulated promoters during the G1/S transition. The activation of E2F-3a genes follows upon the growth factor stimulation and the subsequent phosphorylation of the E2F inhibitor retinoblastoma protein, pRB. The phosphorylation of pRB is initiated by cyclin D/cdk4, cdk6 complex and continued by cyclin E/cdk2. Cyclin D/cdk4,6 itself is activated by the MAPK signaling pathway.

When bound to E2F-3a, pRb can directly repress E2F-3a target genes by recruiting chromatin remodeling complexes and histone modifying activities (e.g. histone deacetylase, HDAC) to the promoter.

Inhibitors: E2F3b, E2F4, E2F5, E2F6, E2F7, E2F8

 * E2F3b, E2F4, E2F5 are expressed in quiescent cells and can be found associated with E2F-binding elements on E2F-target promoters during G0-phase. E2F-4 and 5 preferentially bind to p107/p130.
 * E2F-6 acts as a transcriptional repressor, but through a distinct, pocket protein independent manner. E2F-6 mediates repression by direct binding to polycomb-group proteins or via the formation of a large multimeric complex containing Mga and Max proteins.
 * The repressor genes E2F7/E2F8, located on chromosome 7, are transcription factors responsible for protein coding cell cycle regulation. Together, they are essential for the development of an intact, organized, and functional placental structure during embryonic development.  While the specific molecular pathways remain unknown, researchers have used placental and fetal lineage specific cre mice to determine the functions of the synergistic E2F7 and E2Fhe8 genes.  Knockout mice, deplete of E2F7 and E2F8, result in abnormal trophoblastic proliferation accompanied by advanced cellular apoptosis.  Phenotypically, the placenta presents with disruptions in cellular architecture to include large clusters of undifferentiated trophoblastic cells, which have failed to invade the maternal decidua.  E2F7 and E2F8 proteins can function as repressors independently of DP interaction. They are unique in having a duplicated conserved E2F-like DNA-binding domain and in lacking a DP1,2-dimerization domain. They also appear to play a role in angiogenesis through the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor A.  Using zebrafish, severe vascular defects of the head and somatic vessels were discovered when animals were depleted of E2F7 and E2F8. Antagonized by E2F3a, a transcriptional program has been discovered that functions through the coordination of multiple genes in the E2F family in order to ensure proper development of the placenta.

Invincible Super Man Zambot 3

Invincible Super Man Zambot 3 (無敵超人ザンボット3) is a super robot anime series created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Yoshitake Suzuki, featuring character design by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. It was produced by Sunrise and was first broadcast on Japanese TV in 1977. The series lasted for 23 episodes.

The series focuses on the survivors of planet Beal, which was wiped out by a mysterious entity known as Gaizok. The few remaining survivors escaped to Earth and split into three families, named Jin, Kamie, and Kamikita. While attempting to start a new life, the Jin family prepared for a Gaizok invasion of Earth by building three vehicles which when combined form the super robot Zambot 3. While defending against Gaizok attacks, the Jin family also face harsh criticisms from the people they protect, who blame them for the invasion in the first place.

Zambot 3 appears in several of the Super Robot Wars video-games, including Super Robot Wars V.

Wychall Reservoir

Wychall Reservoir, is a canal compensation reservoir in the Kings Norton district of Birmingham, England.

It was built in the early 19th century by the Worcester Canal Company, after mill owners claimed that water was being taken from the River Rea to fill the canal, thereby reducing the working effectiveness of their mills.

Now defunct as a reservoir it has been adopted by Birmingham City Council, along with the nearby Merecroft Pool, as a Local Nature Reserve. A low level of water is maintained with the drained area a combination of meadow, woodland and reedbed.
