Hello, Yinhuanxie, 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.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:23, 19 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Finding an article

edit

To find a good article to edit, check WikiProject Mass spectrometry, especially sections on articles by quality and importance: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mass spectrometry#Assessment; and articles by popularity: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mass spectrometry#Popular pages. There is also a tool that you can use to sort articles, for example Stub[1]and Start[2] class. Remember the goal is to move an article up two quality units: nothing to Start, Stub to C, or Start to B. --Kkmurray (talk) 03:04, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi! My name's Sam. I'm a classmate of yours in CHEM 4458 (Mass Spec) with Dr. Murray. I wish you all the best in this course!

Welcome to Mas Spec.

Hey, Chao! we are going to have fun in this course, aren't we?

Potential Wiki projects

edit

The first potential project focuses on Mass Spectral Interpretation for the following two reasons. First of all, my goal of this course is to learn how to use the mass spectrometry to explore the photochemistry mechanism, which means I need to understand how to interpret the data. Secondly, it is only listed as a start, which can be vastly improved from the perspective of fragmentation mechanism, rules, and isotope effect.

The second potential project focuses on Desorption_atmospheric_pressure_photoionization for the following two reasons. To begin with, I am interested in the application of photoionization. Second, it is listed as a start article, which can be improved from the perspective of applications and limitations.

The third potential project could be related to Chemical_ionization since I am interested in analyzing the interaction among small molecules. And I could devote some time to the study of chemical ionization since it's poorly developed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yinhuanxie (talkcontribs)

Mass spectral interpretation will be a lot of work but it is important. DAPPI and CI are both good and need improvement. --Kkmurray (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Mass spectral interpretation and CI.

You have an overdue training assignment.

Please complete the assigned training modules. --Kkmurray (talk) 22:51, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Mass spectral interpretation does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Don't forget to use the edit summary ...

Article

edit

I reverted your article to this version: [3] - the version you posted [4] was too much of a change. I think that instead of changing the entire article, you should add by sections after cleaning it up a bit in your sandbox. --Kkmurray (talk) 02:21, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
