Welcome!

Hello, Nathaniel Yankey, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Article issues

The text you added to the Campylobacter jejuni article used wording that was very close to the wording used in your source, something known as close paraphrasing. For copyright reasons, this contribution was removed.

When you add content to Wikipedia it needs to be written entirely in your own words. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for calling my attention to this. Essential restructuring has been taken to address this issue swiftly and sources have been rectified. Nathaniel Yankey (talk) 14:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Campylobacter jejuni: Revision history

Hello - first, welcome to Wikipedia. On my talk page, you said: "I recently uploaded an image to the Campylobacter jejuni article. The image had a caption that read, "A microscopical Image of a gram-stained C. jejuni isolated from a bird fecal sample. The photo was captured by Amy Siceloff, Shariat Graduate Research Assistant in the Vet-Med Population Health department." I'd like to know why the image was deleted immediately after being uploaded, with the comments being not informative. Please kindly explain the reasons behind this decision and why the image was deemed not informative."

To the general encyclopedia user, there is no information interpretable or of interest in the image. The caption does not add depth to the article discussion or clarify any information for the general user; see this guide. Mentioning the student who took the picture is not relevant; see caption information at MOS:CAPTION.

I wish you good editing. Zefr (talk) 02:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
