Topic proposal

edit

Please propose a topic or two that you wish to write on Wikipedia. You should read all related articles/policies on Wikipedia and provide the following information.

  1. Your proposed article(s) (New or existing STUB article relating to a chemical compound, reaction, equipment or technique - or related to your major/interest. (see Category:Stub-Class Chemistry articles))
    • For new article, explain briefly why it passes WP:NOTE.
    • For existing topics, explain briefly the state/structure of the current article.
      • Is the structure & existing content appropriate?
        • 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
    • In what section & what content
      • Make sure it belongs to the article and it is encyclopedic. See WP:NOT for things that should NOT be added.
      • Make sure that it is not redundant to existing articles. Use Google search "site:wikipedia.org" rather than Wikipedia search.
    • References for the article
    • Media files (photo/VDO/drawing) to be used in the article.
      • You may suggest plan to create your own work and upload to Wikimedia Commons
      • You may use existing media on Wikimedia Commons. Use Google image search "site:wikimedia.org" rather than Wikimedia Commons search.
  3. Examples/template/related articles that you will use as a model to develop your nominated article.
    • In terms of WP:MOS/formatting - your article will have similar style/format/tone to these articles.

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

You need references to support your writing. --Taweetham (talk) 00:52, 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) 00:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Air sensitivity

edit

Hi Sunalina2228! Thank you for your contribution to Air sensitivity article. I still notice some grammatical errors. Please correct them and be careful next time. References are also lacking. It is important to make sure that what you write is scientifically correct and supported by evidence. --Athikhun.suw (talk) 04:28, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply


Thank you for your contribution to the article.

  1. Please watch for edits made to the article by other Wikipedians. On the history page, you will be able to see their comments and changes.
  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. Please format your references properly. For example, use {{cite journal}}/{{cite web}} and fill in all the fields including access date or URL.

Please have a look at similar articles on Wikipedia e.g. Pyrophoricity and learn from these examples. --Taweetham (talk) 03:27, 18 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have undone several of your edits that contain such substantial grammatical errors that they made no sense. Remember, the only allowable content is that which improves the encyclopedia for readers...things clearly added "just to get a grade" (excessive words or references) are not appropriate. But there is a more serious problem... DMacks (talk) 14:10, 4 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Sunalin2228, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Air sensitivity have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 14:10, 4 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
