Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• Wikipedia:Policy Library
• Wikipedia:Utilities
• Wikipedia:Cite your sources
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
• Wikipedia:Peer review
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
• Wikipedia:Village pump
• Wikipedia:Boilerplate text

Enteric nervous system

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Enteric nervous system. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you!

I understand that this information is very useful and is true, but as stated at WP:V, "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." If you can provide reliable sources for this entry/edits, I have to problem with them. If you have further questions about this, feel free to ask me. Cheers! -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 19:50, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I apologize; any edit may be removed that lacks a source based on WP:V#Burden of evidence, but I may have jumped the gun. I have no problem with you enter the information back in the with proper citation or adding it in with some {{fact}} tags. Again, please don't let this deter your Wikipedia contributions. If you have further questions on this, or any other aspect of Wikipedia, feel free to ask. Cheers again! -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 22:23, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Line-by-line citation isn't what I am looking for, as long as a paragraph is cited. Also, WP:V states that the burden of evidence lies with the editors who have made an edit. You can't just post something and then say "let someone else look it up ... until then, it stays!" -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 00:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Confusing images on Pi bond

External links on ballet

Hello! External links are often taken as a "For further reading" section, and as such, should complement the article, adding information we could not. As for ballet terminology, Wikipedia has a Glossary of ballet, and as we are working to create free content, it is more beneficial for us to create a better repository of terms and their meanings than to link to a copyrighted collection. Similarly, we shouldn't be linking to content which we should have, or which is only marginally related (physics of all dance is only marginally related to ballet). However, if you meant to reference a section, there's a different method of going about this documented at Wikipedia:Citing sources. The links used would be contained in a ==References== section, and it'd especially help if you could indicate which facts were verified and which weren't. The Ballet article is currently undergoing a rewrite, and any help you could offer would be appreciated (see the talk page and WikiProject Ballet's article improvement page for more information on what needs doing). --Keitei (talk) 00:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Commercial reference not

You wrote: "The following reference contains a journal of clinical studies not adverts. It is available on sciencedirect.com, a site of Elsevier. Elsevier is a publisher of science articles. I don't see how it could be construed as commercial except on the assumption that ANY studies of aromatherapy must be commercially rather than scientifically motivated. But that would be POV wouldn't it?

• International Journal of Aromatherapy Clinical studies of aromatherapy

Also the directory contained links to research orgs, only some were commercial"

I'm not quite clear on which edit of mine you're refering to, but when I go to the link above, I get to a page where I must pick an article to look at. When I do so, I land, for example, here, which wants $30 to let me view the article, unless I am a registered user. I would call that commercial. Perhaps you are a subscriber, and are therefore unaware of the charge? If I am missing something here, please enlighten me. Thanks, -- 01:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, was the "directory" you're referring to http://www.oilganic.com/associations-research-trade.htm? My problem with that link is twofold-- one, it contains a link, top right, to a page that sells books. Secondly, it is a directory, something that Wikipedia is not. You might want to read over Wikipedia's External links guideline. Essentially, it takes a fairly extraordinary link to qualify as an external link (though you'll certainly see plenty of links in place that don't live up to the guideline). Cheers! -- Mwanner | Talk 01:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble understanding your statement that there are free abstracts available. If I click on the link above, click on the Full Abstracts tab, check the first article, and then click on Selected Articles, I end up here, which is nowhere. Am I doing something wrong? -- Mwanner | Talk 01:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Ahah! I finally went back to the actual edit of mine that you're referring to, and I now see what you're talking about. It's confusing because the first two entries don't have abstracts, the third does but it's an empty page, the next few have abstracts but they don't amount to much, finally down at the sixth article we get an abstract worth looking at, and from there on they look pretty good. It's too bad all the weaker ones are up front. Anyway, if you want to re-add that link, I won't revert it. Happy editing! -- Mwanner | Talk 02:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Wolfberry edits

Hi! Um, I don't want to be rude, but you edited Wolfberry to read

"Proponents hope that this regulation provides important safeguards for consumers by checking whether new foods are suitable for the whole population, including people with food allergies. Opponents on the other hand fear that it will limit consumer choice and protect monopolistic interests rather than the public"

Can you provide a cite for the opposing views? If they're notable, they need included, but it does need to be shown they're notable. Adam Cuerden ^talk 20:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I added some references but even w/o them, the text needs rewording because it is opinion not fact. ie "No published large randomized double blind tests for Wolfberry can be found in PubMed" is fact but "this regulation provides important safeguards for consumers" is opinion and must be presented as such.

List of plants used as medicine and Herbalism

Hey, I had an idea I thought I'd bounce off you, so to speak. With the two lists, I was thinking that if you had no objections, I would move your contributions from Herbalism to List of plants used as medicine ( which is looking pretty wan and wasted at the moment ), then replace the list in herbalism, with a paragraph or three, briefly outlining a few key examples. For instance, things like willowbark, and digitalis, as examples of plants with well proven efficacy, things like st johns wort, and echinacea, as examples of plants backed by promising research, and grape seed oil, as an example of a herbal remedy whose believed properties have been since disproven.

Anyway, we can discuss it at the talk page, I just thought I'd throw it out there for you to consider. ornis (t) 23:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I agree, but my thought was that, rather than having two identical lists, we should keep most of the details on the list page and link to that, with just a handful of pertinent examples on the parent article. ornis (t) 00:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Homeopathy rewrite

I noticed you had some constructive criticism of my homeopathy rewrite. You posted it on the Herbalism talk page for some reason, I wanted to ask if you would be willing to participate in improving the draft itself by making proposed changes here User talk:Wikidudeman/Homeopathdraft. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 02:22, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Tell me what you think of the draft now. I've improved the wording and prose and right now it's looking pretty good. Take a look over it and tell me what changes you would make. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 05:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Phyllotaxis - needs citation

I noticed you were the one who added the 'researchers such as Snow and Snow' text. Can you please provide a citation for this? Simply dropping names in is obviously not much help, as nobody is going to know what you are talking about without a citation. Thanks. Richard001 01:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Alternate.png

Thank you for uploading images/media such as Image:Alternate.png to Wikipedia! There is however another Wikimedia foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading media there instead. That way, all the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:SieveTube.png. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:SiebeTube.png. The copy called Image:SiebeTube.png has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 03:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
