Hello, Jacob.richard.thomas, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Deception detection

edit

Hi Jacob. My email address is actually ian@wikiedu.org - we're actually separate from the Wikimedia Foundation with "runs" Wikipedia (and that in only the most hands-off sense).

The lie detection article is actually pretty long, so I can't easily say yes or no as to whether it's a good topic. I think you need to look at that material you have and look at the content of the article and make that call. Can you add information to the article that isn't there already? Can you improve the quality of the information that's there? Can you clarify things, or improve quality? Can you add supporting citations to unsourced statements? These are the sorts of questions you need to try and answer. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
