Welcome!

Hello, Okiokiyuki, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Stationary state. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk 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 on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

See Talk:Stationary state

Please see Talk:Stationary state. (Or click the "Talk" link near the top-left of the page Stationary state.) Don't get the wrong idea, what you wrote is generally correct and well-explained and I'm happy you're writing for wikipedia and I hope you keep at it. :-) --Steve (talk) 14:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Physics

In case you didn't already know, there are wikiprojects on Wikipedia: divisions which specialize in editing articles within the subject. For physics there is Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics, the one where you can retrieve more feedback and review for any articles you create/come across. Surely you will find this useful in the development of transition of state, other editors will quickly provide their opinions of the article on how to improve it. I also recommend you become a member of the project if you intend to be fairly active on the physics pages, which I'm sure you will, although you don't have to. Btw I'm a member myself - if you have questions on how to become a member or about the project itself just ask one of us. =) -- F = q(E + v × B) 22:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:08, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Atomic, molecular, and optical physics

You might like to see what can be done on this article. A discussion is on the talk page about merging the separate articles into this one.

Merging in generality

Basically merge means to transfer content from one article into another. If one page becomes empty, a Redirect link it placed on the empty page to direct the user to the correct place where the content has been transferred to. Merges are NOT done lightly - they only occur when there is far too much overlap between articles and if its more effective to have content moved in such a way.

For an example of a redirect link and merge (I was largely responsible for), see Normalisable wavefunction and wavefunction. Click either link and both go to wavefunction, since Normalisable wavefunction redirects to there. Below the main title is the link "Normalisable wavefunction redirects here", clicking on that link takes you to the original Normalisable wavefunction article, with the initial talk page and the redirect link there. Another example (again I did) was real and imaginary parts with complex number.

FYI: NEVER do the merge without talking to others!!! The wikiproject page and the talk page of the article are important, since other editors may disagree, and that it might actually not be a good idea in the end!!! Just explain opinions + reasons on the talk pages as always - then you will never get into trouble for that. If you’re unsure of how to merge, is best to request that it be done on the talk page, don't feel it has to be done if in doubt.-- F = q(E + v × B) 13:47, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
