- Media files (photo/VDO/drawing) to be used in the article.
- You may suggest plan to create your own work and upload to Wikimedia Commons
- You may use existing media on Wikimedia Commons. Use Google image search "site:wikimedia.org" rather than Wikimedia Commons search.

- Examples/template/related articles that you will use as a model to develop your nominated article.
- In terms of WP:MOS/formatting - your article will have similar style/format/tone to these articles.
- In terms of content - your article will link to or will be linked from these articles.
Please leave your answer below. (Leave a reply in this section of your talkpage.) --Taweetham (talk) 20:08, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Your topic Wet laboratory proposed by email is accepted and added to the course page. Please read the course page for further instructions. --Taweetham (talk) 12:02, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
First draft
editYour topic is approved and added to the course page. Please develop the proposal into the first draft in your sandbox.
- For existing article, you may copy some parts of the existing article to your sandbox to see how revision/integration of content would work. You will copy the code back to the article at later stage.
- For new article, you may want to copy parts of a template article to your sandbox to see what sections are necessary. The sandbox will be moved to the article namespace at later stage. Please do not click "Submit your draft for review!". The function is not applicable to our course.
In all cases, do not copy more than what is necessary. For example, do not copy any categories to your sandbox. --Taweetham (talk) 20:14, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
First edit on the article namespace
editYour work has been reviewed. Majority of the content/formatting is ok. Please carefully move encyclopedic part of your sandbox to article namespace so that the general public can see it. Here are some tips to help you complete the transition to online editing.
- Content/Formatting policies
- For the purpose of this assignment, do NOT copy anything from anywhere to Wikipedia and it sister projects. You must create all of the content primarily by yourself with assistance/supervision of the instructor & the team. The content, however, must be encyclopedic & relevant and supported by reliable references.
- The content must be in the right format and added to the right place of the article.
- You can learn writing and formatting style from similar (but better class) articles on Wikipedia. You can find them from links/categories of your article. Learning from good examples is perhaps the best short-cut to your success.
- Technicalities
- Unlike sandbox, all edits will be public immediately and it is important to make sure that all of your edits are acceptable. You may use preview button and provide edit summary to help you.
- Any "page save" on Wikipedia even outside article namespace is permanently recorded and can be retrieved by the public. Please think carefully before you click save and before you revert other people edits. No work is lost but only the latest version of the page is shown to the public. Deletion of pages (or versions of pages) is only possible by admins if it falls under Wikipedia:Deletion policy. You can request admins to do deletion or other prescribed tasks should the need arises.
- You may want to set watchlist and notifications so that you can catch up with changes made to your article and your talk page by other editors.
- Community interactions
- You will be interacting with other volunteers when you make edits on the article namespace. Please respect other users in the community and assume good faith.
- If your work is reverted or modified in any other ways, do not engage in a edit war. Rather use discussion page of your article to settle issues.
- You may be blocked from Wikipedia for failure to observe community rules.
We hope you enjoy seeing product of your hard work read by many people in the years to come. --Taweetham (talk) 00:53, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Just a note that if you know that there is already an existing article like Wet laboratory, avoid starting on a new article that covers the same topic. It will lead to unnecessary confusion and one will eventually need to be merged or redirected to the other. Hzh (talk) 13:33, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks but the page Wet laboratory is short and copyvio. It is likely to be removed. If it is not, I'm happy to merge to the existing article.--Teetee taw (talk) 13:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- The problem is that not all of the content is copied - [1], so the administrator may remove the parts that violates copyright and keep the rest, and you'd end up with two articles. It would have been simpler to just redirect the page to Wet Lab and ask an administrator to remove the old edits. Later if someone objects to the page move then it can go to discussion. However, since you have added the copy violation tag, leave it as it is, then redirect the page after it has been cleaned. If the article gets deleted, then you'd need to recreate the page as a redirect since there may be other articles that link to "Wet laboratory". Hzh (talk) 20:41, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, so let's wait for administrator to take care of that article first. --Teetee taw (talk) 03:48, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

- Please watch for edits made to the article by other Wikipedians. On the history page, you will be able to see their comments and changes.
- Please provide edit summary every time you save a page.
- Please carefully read WP:NOT and make sure that your article has an encyclopedia tone.
- I still do not see the point of mentioning seawater in the article. Please elaborate more with support of references or remove entirely.
Please have a look at similar articles on Wikipedia e.g. Dry lab and learn from these examples. --Taweetham (talk) 03:45, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
You are invited to the meet up. --Taweetham (talk) 08:32, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Balloon popping
editOn 25 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Balloon popping, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Balloon popping), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Reaching out
editHello @Teetee taw, How are you? I recently joined the Wikimedia Foundation and would like to set up an introductory call to get to know you (and the community in Thailand) better.
