I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!
I really like your edit to p-value. This point cannot be emphasized enough. If ordinary people could be generally taught to understand this fully, they'd have a much better time evaluating the meaning and plausibility of quotes of scientific results in newspapers. Things like "A recent study found that there is no difference between ..." Some of my first few edits on Wikipedia were on the statistics articles. --Coppertwig (talk) 03:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the thanks! edit
... and I really appreciate your message, too! I post a lot of welcome messages, and hardly ever get any answer back; but I know it's worth posting them, because some people use the {{helpme}} feature, which they usually find out about from those welcome messages. But it's nice to get a direct response! --Coppertwig (talk) 01:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Wikiproject Statistics edit
A new Wikiproject has just started up: Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics, to encourage collaboration on statistics articles. You might want to join. --Coppertwig (talk) 12:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
