Welcome to my User Page

Hello everyone 😁. My name is Cliff L. Knickerbocker, but I've been known among fellow Wikipedia editors as "Uploadvirus" ever since I began editing here in 2009.

I'm a 62 year old semi-retired scientist and independent researcher living in Southern Illinois. If you want to know more about me, please feel free to read through this User Page, or contact me directly through Facebook, Messenger, by email via either cliffknickerbocker1960@gmail.com or uploadvirus@yahoo.com

I don't spend much time editing here anymore, mostly because my wife and my research take up 99% of my free time, but also because of ugly and idiotic difficulties with the too numerous hostile, narcissistic administrators, who make editing here 100 times more laborious, and a thousand times more aggravating, for no real reason except to feed their voluminous egos.

That being said, Wikipedia is still the greatest single site on the Internet for general education and entertainment, bar none, and by a long shot.

Should you wish to collaborate on real world research, my contact information - which almost certainly will remain the same for the rest of my life - follows here:

What I Do Here

During the period 2009-2013, I created from scratch, made major contributions to and/or quite extensive revisions of, a fairly large number of articles at the English Wikipedia. For detailed lists and a current count of these articles, see my Babel Tower at the top of the page.

I've also spent considerable time on Wikipedia doing minor revisions and other edits, mostly to general and clinical oncology-related content, with particular emphasis on my career research specialty, the numerous histological and molecular variants of lung cancer known as the "non-small cell lung carcinomas".

I've also been involved with some peer reviews, have done award-winning work with the Wikipedia Guild of Copy Editors, been a part of the Wikipedia Typo Team, and have served for well over a decade as a New Pages Reviewer, Recent Changes Patroller, Vandalism Patroller, and a Rollbacker.

During 2013, though, I had multiple conflicts with one particular administrator, who happened to be a narcissistic linguist with a (stupid) passion for extraneous hyphens, who ruined the looks, readability, and IMO credibility of the majority of my articles by inserting hyphens everywhere.

On appeal, and despite getting clear consensus for my position amongst in-house experts (with 75%-80% of the vote), my appeal and reversion request was STILL denied. I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE SINCE. That my opponent was a "bot expert", with over one million edits, I am almost certain had a lot to do with the decision.

So I don't edit very often anymore, but I do try to recruit new editors. I also served 3 terms on the Board of Directors of Wikipedia Project Medicine (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022), with my third term ending after 31 December 2021.

I've also served on the Pulmonology Task Force, and helped out with the Pharmacology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Microbiology, and Anatomy Projects here.

In October 2020 I had a paradigm shift in my research emphasis (see below). After over 44 years of doing lung cancer research, and have decided to spend the vast majority of what time I have left researching human chromosomal abnormalities and the diseases they cause, with emphasis on copy number variants (particularly microduplications) involving the acrocentric chromosomes in our genome (numbers 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22, plus the Y sex chromosome). I will be contributing when I can to the Wikipedia Neuroscience Initiative, and plan to write comprehensive articles on certain pure partial trisomies of the acrocentrics. For more information, please see the research-related sections below.

For more information on my activities and interests, please see my Babel Tower (top of the page).

In the real world, I am semi-retired now at age 61, but I continue to operate a small private research, education, teaching, and consulting firm called Adnomery Research Company (ARC), here in Marion, Illinois, where I have lived with my wife, Jackie Ward, from 2017 to the present (March 2022).

Professional Background

My personal idiosyncrasies and breadth of interests have motivated me to pursue many and varied challenges over my professional lifetime. Over the past 45 years, I've worked as a mining engineer (1973-1985), a research virologist specializing in oncogenic herpes and pox viruses in epithelial tissue (1985-1986), a forensic chemist (1986-1989), a construction project manager building large draglines (1989-1993), a private investigator (1993-2012), a radiology patient care technician (2001-2003), an epidemiology researcher, lecturer, and research Fellow at a University (2002-2006), a medical researcher specializing in lung cancer (1997-2012), and a forensic and medical expert and consultant for various firms (1993-2012).

'Current Genomic Research"

The current (August 2022) focus of my research is a case study on a beautiful little girl ("HQ"), born in 2015, who has autism, intellectual disability, global developmental delay, , macrocephaly, overgrowth syndrome, The proband was born to a physically healthy 24 year old, Caucasian mother (para 2 gravida 2 abortus 0) after a relatively uneventful pregancy, with the mother reporting significantly less fetal movement than in her previous pregnancy. The child was noted to have global developmental delay, intellectual disability, classic juvenile autism, macrocephaly, strabismus (esotropia), hypotonia, early ataxic gait, pica, moderate insensitivity to pain, mild craniofacial and skeletal dysmorphisms (including arachnodactyly of 3rd and 4th fingers, dentogenesis imperfecta, The probands mother, maternal grandfather, maternal great-grandmother, paternal uncle, paternal first cousin, and a few more distant patrilineal members had physical characteristics of mild to moderate Marfanoid body habitus, and had certain clinical diagnoses all suggestive of a possible fibrillinopathy.

The probands pathologies included classical juvenile autism, macrocephaly, dentogenesis imperfecta, relative insensitivity to pain, chronic severe comstipation.

genoniky tested by array cGH and found to have a Genotype of 46,XX, dup (15) (q21.1, q21.1), and more precisely, dup 15q21.1 (45,767,342-46,789,177)x3. As a result

She was born in 2015 after a relatively uneventful pregancy to a non-consanguinois Caucasian family in Illinois to a para 2 gravida 2 C

Current Research Projects and Agenda

• Full and Partial Trisomies in the Genome of the Human: Clinical Consequences and Potential Interventions

I spent most of my life (1976 to 2020) focusing my research on the molecular biology and genetics of non-small cell lung cancers, particularly those in rare histological subtypes and variants.

In February of 2015, however, my youngest granddaughter - who I call "Princess Hadlee" - was born after an uncomplicated (para 2 gravida 2) pregnancy, to my youngest daughter, who was a promising first year nursing student.

Although she appeared robustly healthy from birth, it became apparent in her first year of life that she had signs of a mild muscular hypotonia, craniofacial dysmorphisms, and a global developmental delay.

My daughter acted quickly and bravely to get her tested, and she was diagnosed on 2017 with classical juvenile autism by experts at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

It was later confirmed by doctors at St. Louis Children's Hospital that my "Youngest Princess" indeed had some signs and symptoms of a possible syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) featuring stereotypical behaviors and communications disorders consistent with autism.

After a brief bout of acutely increased intracranial pressure in 2020, we worried about the possibility of cranioisotosis, so she was screened for genomic variants in her DNA by array comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH).

The screening showed that she has a duplication of a portion of the genetic material in the long arm of chromosome number 15 - more specifically, an interstitial duplication in subband 1 of band 1 of region 2 (ish dup 15q21.1), with genotype (per Paris standard) of 46, XX, dup ish (15) (q21.1, q21.1). To date, I have not been made aware of the exact chromosomal coordinates of the breakpoints.

Other Medical Research Experience

I wrote my masters thesis on mortality trends in skeletal system sarcomas, including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma. I have also published, and/or presented at professional conferences, a number of studies that examined risk factors for developing cancers of the female reproductive system (and other organs). One of these, which was published in the American Journal of Health Education in 2003, has been designated as "Required Reading" at Johns Hopkins University.

I've also done some interesting work in geographic trend analysis of mortality due to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.

About 15 years ago, when I was at the U of A, Dr. Michael Young (now Dean of Research at New Mexico State University) and I did some non-linear mortality trend analyses of age-adjusted death rates from stroke. At the time, official data suggested Arkansas had (only) the 11th highest stroke death rate amongst the 50 US states. However, our trend analyses suggested it was already #1, or would be very soon. Within just a couple of years, new data showed we were correct! Partly because we were so busy doing other things, but mostly because of the intensely negative political fallout that publication of such a study would no doubt have generated, we never did submit our work for publication.

Other Miscellaneous Interests

I have broad and diverse miscellaneous academic and professional interests, but have the most expertise in pathology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, toxicology, cosmology, astrophysics, mathematics, statistics, nuclear weapons, military science, politics, forensic science, criminal law, and theology.

When it comes to sports, I enjoy college football (particularly the Arkansas Razorbacks), powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, boxing, mixed martial arts, and bodybuilding.

Building Big Draglines

I grew up in the coal mines with my Dad, and started working for him in the 7th grade - laboring, blasting, and operating heavy equipment (i.e. bulldozers, end loaders, and draglines). I became a fan of "walking draglines" and surface mining at a young age, and for many years (off-and-on) I helped build and work on draglines, mostly as a Project Manager for the White Equipment Corporation. You can see one of the machines I helped put together in two videos, located here [[1]] and here [[2]]. It is a specially modified Rapier W2000. It was, at the time, the largest of its kind ever built.

The original machine was purchased and disassembled in Pottsville, Pennsylvania over several months, then transported to Bessemer, Pennsylvania in a total of 188 individual tractor-trailer loads. During the reassembly, we lengthened the boom from 285 to 315 feet and added a bigger bucket (45 cubic yards, instead of 30). This upsizing required extensive engineering modifications to the ballast, hoist and drag drums, house, and swing gear support structures to allow for much heavier stresses. This unique and awesome machine was then re-erected for the ESSROC Corporation between 1991 and 1993, with the Bucyrus-Erie/MINSERCO Corporation and British engineers and electricians assisting with parts of the erection and commissioning processes. The entire (huge) job ran for about 30 months, involved more than 30 employees, and was budgeted at over $2 million. Unfortunately, I recently found out that this beauty has been idle for at least 2 years now, and will probably be scrapped at the site.

My Education and Other Qualifications

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly the University of Missouri-Rolla). My emphasis areas included biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and the life sciences. During my undergraduate studies, I worked for a semester as an intern in the laboratory of Dr. Donald Siehr, researching the molecular genetics of the beta-lactamase operon in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

After graduating with my B.S., I attended Southern Illinois University-Carbondale for one year, taking graduate courses in immunology, virology, molecular biology, and microbiology. From 1985-86, I worked as a virology researcher in the Southern Illinois Cancer Research Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Hassan Rouhandeh, studying the oncogenicity and pathology of Herpes and Poxviruses in epithelial cell tissue culture. I left SIU-C in 1986 to take a job as a forensic chemist with the Illinois Bureau of Forensic Sciences, specializing in the analysis of pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, and general chemical unknowns. I also served on two statewide Forensic Chemistry Section Committees (the Quantitation Committee and the Quality Control Committee), and also conducted some research developing new methods for rapid semi-quantitative analyses of cocaine and heroin using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with ion trap detection (GC-MS/ITD). In 1987, I sat for a non-credit graduate course in mammalian cloning at the University of Illinois-Springfield.

I later earned a Master of Science degree in Health Science from the University of Arkansas. My emphasis area was in cancer epidemiology, with particular foci in the clinical epidemiology of unusual variants of lung cancer and mortality trends due to skeletal system cancers (sarcoma using non-linear modeling techniques. My masters thesis was entitled "Skeletal Sarcoma Mortality Trends in Arkansas are Confounded by Misdiagnosis of Fatal Lung Cancer Cases in the Oldest Old". During my masters program, I was elected to Phi Kappa Phi, graduated #1 in my class, was voted the "Most Outstanding Masters Student" award, and was awarded a Northwest Arkansas Cancer Challenge Fellowship in lung cancer epidemiology. The latter honor allowed me to spend part of a summer studying lung cancer epidemiology at the The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

While at the University of Arkansas, I was the Assistant Director of the Health Education Projects Office, under one of the most accomplished health science researchers in the world, Dr. Michael E. Young. As a team, we conducted considerable research into risk factors for gynecological cancers, stroke mortality trends in Arkansas and the "stroke belt", and drug use and pregnancy prevention among teenagers. I also helped Dr. Young revise and update his nationally recognized and honored drug prevention program, "Keep a Clear Mind".

After completing my masters degree, I won the first Walton Distinguished Doctoral Fellowship in Health Science that was ever granted at the U of A. After completing four years of this teaching and research fellowship, working with Dr. Michael E. Young, and doing an internship in the Human Performance Laboratory under Dr. Ro DiBrezzo, I returned home to Illinois to help take care of my aging parents, and to (slowly) complete my dissertation and (eventually) obtain my Ph.D. degree.

My Featured Personal Articles at Wikipedia

I created and wrote (nearly) all of the substantive information in the following three articles myself. The first two were submitted to (successful) peer review, and the third will be when it is completely finished. I think I can make a good argument that these articles are more comprehensive sources than any other that is currently available in the world literature (as of August 2012).

• Combined small cell lung carcinoma

• Large cell lung carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype

• Giant cell carcinoma of the lung

Plagiarism of my Writing

Some of the writing I've done here at Wikipedia has (apparently) been plagiarized verbatim in the peer-reviewed literature! Here are cites for a few examples I've run across:

Krishnamurthy A, Vijayalakshmi N, Majhi U. A fatal case of pure giant cell carcinoma of the lung. J Can Res Ther 2011;7:363-5. - the authors copied and used part of an introduction I first wrote for my award-winning article on combined small cell lung carcinoma, and that I also used in several other articles.

Krčedinac J, Panjković M, Božanić S, Samardžija G, Stojanović M. Large cell lung carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype: Case report. Arch Oncol 2011;19:34-6. - in their conclusion, the authors copied from my large cell lung carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype Wikipedia article.

Google searches of various phrases reveal many other examples. Please, folks - when you use someone else's work, just give them credit with a cite! That's all we researchers ask!

Favorite Quotes

• "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because he knows there is no effort without error and shortcoming. But those who do actually strive to do the deeds, who know great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" - Theodore Roosevelt

• "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give" - Winston Churchill

• "I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves" - Anna Quindlen

• "The Honorable General" is the first person to step foot on the battlefield, and the last to leave it - whether standing on his feet, or lying in his body bag. He is the first to dig a shovelful of Earth, and the last to take credit for the improvements wrought. He makes certain his troops are well fed, clad, and rested before takes a mouthful of sustenance, dons his field jacket, or places his head upon his pillow. During a struggle, The Honorable General dedicates himself to educating his troops as to their great might and even greater worth. He continuously assures them of the righteousness of their campaign, and of its inevitable success. He constantly provides all members of his command with the tools and the personal leadership they need to be victorious. If the battle turns against him, he is the first to claim the fault for himself, and the last to criticize the performance of his followers. When the battle is finally won, he is the first to offer praise to those who persevered under his flawed command, and the last to claim responsibility for the fruits of their victory. Most importantly, The Honorable General never forgets that his ultimate duty is to strive to funnel all available resources into the hearts and heads of his troops - for in only that way can he insure, beyond doubt, not just that his troops will conquer all, but that they will always strive to remain as honorable as he is." - Cliff Knickerbocker (for Damon Ward).
