Nmuggleton (talk) 16:12, 4 February 2016 (UTC) Nice list! There should be some good stuff in the Thornhill book, covering a few of the above
- OR95 would you please respond with information about your class? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 23:17, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- User:Flyer22 Reborn, User:Jytdog, apologies for the delayed response! I am currently taking part in a Wikipedia editing assignment as part of a third year psychology module on Human Sexuality. OR95 (talk) 16:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Your contributed article, Fluctuating asymmetry and physical health in humans
editIf 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, Fluctuating asymmetry and physical health in humans. 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 – Fluctuating asymmetry#Fluctuating asymmetry and physical health in humans. 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 Fluctuating asymmetry#Fluctuating asymmetry and physical health in humans – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 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. HyperGaruda (talk) 05:43, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- HyperGaruda, thank you for alerting me to this. I was not aware that I had created a new article for "Fluctuating Asymmetry and Physical Health in Humans" - I was moving this draft section out of my sandbox to add to the page Fluctuating asymmetry, so I must have made a mistake in moving it and somehow created another article. I am currently editing Fluctuating asymmetry for a class Wikipedia project, alongside two other editors from my class. I am aiming to continue adding to and improving the physical health section on this page shortly. Thank you again for bringing that mistake to my attention. OR95 (talk) 20:15, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- @OR95: ah, I already thought something like that had happened. For future reference, there is a difference between moving (renaming a page) and -what you aimed for at first- merging (moving bits and pieces from one page to another). The first is done via the
move
button in the top right undermore
, as you probably have figured out by now ;) The latter is a matter of copy-pasting via theedit
screen. I have not much left to say but "happy editing!" - HyperGaruda (talk) 20:41, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
