        • If not, restructure or remove content as per WP:MOS and WP:NOT before you move to the next stage.
  2. Brief outline of your contributions to the article

      • Make sure it belongs to the article and it is encyclopedic. See WP:NOT for things that should NOT be added.

First draft

edit

Your 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)Reply

Your draft does not have any references. Please add them before you move to article namespace. --Taweetham (talk) 00:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

First edit on the article namespace

edit

Your 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.

  1. Content/Formatting policies
  2. 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.
  3. 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) 00:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Bond cleavage

edit

Thanks for your contribution to the article.

  1. Please pay attention to suggestion from other Wikipedians. For example, on the history page you will see "and this definitonal change is also not true—could be concerted where there *were* radicals that now pair" written by DMacks on 15:00, 8 February 2018‎. Use talk pages/Discussion pages to discuss issues/resolve conflicts arising from editing the article.
  2. Please provide edit summary every time you save a page.
  3. Please carefully read WP:NOT and make sure that your article has an encyclopedia tone.
  4. References should be added to support your text and should be properly formatted by the templates, {{cite web}} or {{cite journal}}.
  5. After you can manage with this article, you will have to think about how to integrate/link with other related articles Dissociation_(chemistry), Homolysis (chemistry), Heterolysis (chemistry).

Please have a look at similar articles on Wikipedia e.g. Bond-dissociation energy, Decomposition and a number of links in Fission and learn from these examples. --Taweetham (talk) 02:45, 18 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
