question on redirects
Hello, here I am again.. with a stupid question! I noticed that bloodstream infections (here is the page where you see the redirect: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blood_Stream_Infection&redirect=no ) is a page that "redirects" to "bacteremia. Now I do not understand this! A blood stream infection can be a bacteremia but it can also be a fungemia or a viremia or even a protozoa. So I was thinking to change this problem by requesting to remove the redirect from bloodstream infection to bacteremia and write a short page on bloodstream infections (and in that page links to the different types of bloodstream infections). However I do not really understand how to do this. I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion with How to list a redirect for discussion , but not sure how it works with How to list a redirect for discussion. Sorry to bother you with this , but the tutorial is not very obvious for me. Garnhami (talk) 21:14, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Update: I actually found this:when should be delete a redirect , and here it states: Listing is not necessary if you just want to replace a redirect with an article, or change where it points
If I understand it correctly, does this mean I can edit the bloodstream page without really warning someone? (I mean, write some stuff about bloodstream infections and remove the redirect (and replace it with several links on that page to eg fungemia, bacteremia and so on..? ) Garnhami (talk) 21:19, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Garnhami: That is a seldom-used redirect. You can view the page statistics on the wp:page history or here. There is about one or two views per week. So few if anyone will notice your edits. If you wish to take your time editing the page, you can use your sandbox (link at top right of any page while you are logged in) or an other sandbox such as user:Garnhami/Blood Stream Infection (it's a wp:redlink as the page has yet to be created). When you feel comfortable posting it, request that the page be moved. See wp:moving a page. Per CC BY-SA 3.0 license, the page history must be preserved, so they would need to be merged. I believe a fairly simple task for this case. It may take a week. Again, given the low view count, having the page incomplete is probably irrelevant. BTW: Is there another title for that subject that may already exist? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 22:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Ok! Thanks a lot! Now I have one more question, I have been editing some articles, one in particular, however I noticed that I am always editing small things, one by one (to keep the overview). I do wonder: could I just cope paste the whole article to my sandbox and then when I made ALL the edits (which might take some time to do) just cope paste this back into the original article? (of course, I would keep track on other, major, edits in the article and include those as well).Or is this not possible ? Garnhami (talk) 15:17, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Candida albicans, is commonly referred to as a dimorphic fungus since It grows both as yeast and filamentous cells. However it has several different morphological phenotypes that are discussed more in detail in the chapter on Morphology.

It is a common member of human gut flora. It is detectable in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth in 40-60% of healthy adults.[4][5] It is usually a commensal organism, but can become pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals under a variety of conditions.[5][6] It is one of the few species of the Candida genus that cause the infection candidiasis in humans. Overgrowth of the fungus results in candidiasis (candidosis).[5][6] Candidiasis is for example often observed in HIV-infected patients.[7] C. albicans is responsible for 50–90% of all cases of candidiasis in humans.[6] Together with C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata it is responsible for approximately 90% of Candida infections.[8]
C. albicans was for a long time considered an obligate diploid organism without a haploid stage. This is however not the case. Next to a haploid stage C. albicans can also exist in a tetraploid stage. The latter is formed when diploid C. albicans cells mate when they are in the opaque form.[9] The diploid genome size is approximately 29Mb and up to 70% of the protein coding genes have not yet been characterized.[10] C. albicans is often found in mixed biofilms together with Staphylococcus aureus on implanted medical devices.[11]
