Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
editWelcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.
Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 05:56, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Recent edits
editThanks for your recent edits to expand the articles. Two things:
We do not often use flashcards as sources because they are not reliable. Reliable sources can be found here: WP:MEDRS.
Infoboxes generally stay at the top of article [1], and please be judicious when removing content, as you've done at Olfactory system. [2]
Please feel free to ask me if you need any help. Unfortunately Wikipedia can sometimes be a steep learning curve. Cheers --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Auditory system edit
editI don't understand that basis for this extensive edit. The cited article at this page does not mention the tectorial membrane, as far as I can tell, and what you said about it (stiffness especially) makes no sense. There are lots of problems with this new overview, but that's the most glaring. Dicklyon (talk) 00:40, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

- Please, please read WP:EXPERT and the links at the bottom of that page. Your drive to contribute to Wikipedia is wonderful (!) but writing encyclopedia articles in Wikipedia is really, really different than pretty much any other genre. Happy to discuss if you like. But again, welcome! Jytdog (talk) 04:53, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
