Welcome!

Hello, NathanMJones, 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) 19:48, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to the Oil refinery article

I watch the Oil refinery article and noticed the Worker health section you added to the article. I thank you for your contribution! I've been meaning to check references on this article later but you've added a lot of new content. I have a few years in the oil and gas industry and so the content you've added looks valuable and consistent with my experience with process piping and hazardous fluids (mine is somewhat limited given a refinery deals with so many process units and my experience is as a ChemE in a gas compression plant in a CO2 flood).

Given how well you've formatted your tables and reference tags I suspect you may already be a Wikipedia veteran yourself.

If not, here is some feedback I'd like to share: it also looks like a veteran Wikipedia editor has this page watched or monitored and has been attempting to modify your heading formatting. Editors tend to be insistent on having formatting conform to a common standard and your underline tags in the heading is not something I have seen before. I think most editors (including this one) conform to the standard described in the Wikipedia Manual of Style (specifically here) and not attempting to add any additional formatting to headings. Wikipedia automatically adjusts heading/subheading formatting by now many = are enclosing a (sub)heading title. You can have anywhere between 2 and 6 ='s on each side of a subheading text, each additional equals sign giving a progressively smaller and formatting. For example, ==heading==, ===sub-heading===, ====sub-sub-heading====, =====sub-sub-sub-heading=====, and ======sub-sub-sub-sub-heading======. Custom "pseudoheadings" (text formatted with bold tags and used as subheadings) are also allowed but you probably will have better luck having your heading edits stick if they fit an example in the Manual of Style link I mentioned (none of these are underlined either). If my talk of equal signs doesn't make sense then I suspect you might be using some kind of visual WYSIWYG editor; I usually edit articles in the source code myself.

Anyway, I hope this helps! You can message me via my talk page if you have questions or want me to review something specific. Baltakatei (talk) 00:50, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Also, if you would like to reserve an article for major edits (which you appear to be doing), you can use the "in use" template Template:In_use by adding {{in use|24 hours}} to the top of the page's code. This will cause a time-stamped banner to appear at the top of the article letting other editors know that you are doing a major rework of the article and to avoid making edits until you are finished. It's a polite way of avoiding having to revert other peoples' edits that they might make while you rewrite an article. Just remember to remove it after you're done.
