Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

• Create new pages and rename pages
• Edit semi-protected pages
• Upload images
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2603:9000:8D04:4C00:B8CE:F3A2:8A17:590) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! Theroadislong (talk) 17:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Your Teahouse question

I don't know if it helps, but some while back I created pages about a couple of my old university lecturers. See Michael Proctor (botanist) and John Webster (mycologist). The former wasn't a professor, but his contributions to science are clearly notable. I didn't feel any need at the time to declare a conflict of interest as it had been 35 years before either had lectured me, and I'd not seen them since. The only contact I'd had was when I emailed one of them to say that I had just published a book on botany, having spent the previous 20 years collecting data for it, and that was down to his influence that I had spent a career in the natural sciences. I'm glad I did so, as he died a year later. Ironically, when people die, it's amazing how useful their obituaries are to us Wikipedians who were previously struggling to find sources. Your professor had better watch their back! Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
