Welcome!

Hello, Jlue00, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Hairhorn (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your contributed article, Extinction (Neurology) proposal

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Extinction (Neurology) proposal. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Visual extinction. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Visual extinction – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Hairhorn (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Using Wikipedia for a class project

edit

Hi Jlue00. Thank you for your interest in editing Wikipedia. Due to your page failing to meet Wikipedia's guidlines, it has been proposed for deletion (see above); rather than delete it outright I have moved it to a sub-page at User:Jlue00/Extinction (Neurology) proposal, where you can continue working on it.

If you are editing as part of a class project, please ensure that your tutor is aware of Wikipedia:School and university projects and the need to create a centralised project there - he does not appear to have done this, as far as I can see. There are a number of ways Wikipedia's experienced editors can help you and your clasmates to edit the encyclopedia, but there are ways and means of doing this. Issues have arisen in the past when class tutors have not prepared their students appropriately or fully understood the editing processes here. If your tutor has a Wikipedia account (and he should, if he wants to run a class here) it would also be a good idea to list a link to it on your userpage, so that editors who have questions or concerns about your edits can contact him.

If you need assistance with editing, I and (most!) of my fellow editors are usually happy to assist; feel free to leave a message on my talkpage or ask questions at the helpdesk if you need a hand. Yunshui  13:37, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Whoops, ignore that; I've found your class' page at User:NeuroJoe/BI481 Fall 2012. Cheers, Yunshui  13:40, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Problems with upload of File:Visual extinction.gif

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Visual extinction.gif. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:06, 4 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Visual extinction.gif

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Visual extinction.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
