Chick embryo edit

I have taken some time to clean up your Chick embryo article, including adding appropriate wikilinks, and removal of language that is not of the appropriate tone for an encyclopedia. However, there are still some significant issues to be resolved:

  1. The article cites no sources.
  2. The article is incomplete.

There are hints of sources in the various parenthetical attributions, and there were hints of more material to come (perhaps you are working on this collaboratively with some other editors?). If the plan is to develop the article incrementally over several days or weeks, might I suggest you do so in your user space instead -- say at User:Anjuliyoung/Chick embryo? I would also suggest a different title for the article, something along the lines of Chicken as scientific research model to more properly reflect the subject of the article. If you would like any help with any of these changes, feel free to ask! WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:46, 29 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Chick embryo edit

 

The article Chick embryo has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The author has created a copy at User:Anjuliyoung/Chick embryo to complete work on the page.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Good start on clearing up those citations. More work is needed. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Article name edit

I have pointed out before that I believe the title of your Chick embryo article is inappropriate, as the article has a very specific topic regarding research involving chickens (both embryonic and full-grown). Please add your thoughts to the discussion going on at Talk:Chick embryo. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:25, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply


I think he article name should remain chick embryo because, while there is information about chickens, it is merely here to add perspective. The main focus of he article is the chick embryo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.168.7.23 (talk) 13:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Timeline edit

You probably worked really hard creating this. Unfortunately, that's a rather poor method of conveying information at Wikipedia. I have converted the information to a standard Wikipedia table instead. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:20, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank You! This is my first wikipedia page (as you could probably tell) and I really appreciate the help.

Glad to help. You'll notice that the references spelled out in the table need to be fully expanded. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Citations edit

Please stop changing citations such as

 <ref name=Magner2010/>

to

 <ref> name=Magner2010</ref>

If you don't understand how the reference tags work, please ask, but what you are doing is breaking the referencing syntax to make meaningless references. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:47, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply


Sorry! I changed them because I'm going to add the full citations in those spots, as soon as I get them — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.59.115.3 (talk) 15:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

That's fine. When you do so, add the full citation to the references that currently have the form:
 <ref name=Bellairs2005>Bellairs, 2005</ref>
In such a citation, replace the text between the opening and closing tags:
 <ref name=xyz>Your text goes here</ref>
and leave the rest of the citation alone. For all other citations to the same work, leave the citations as I have created them:
 <ref name=xyz/>
This creates a single citation, with multiple references to it. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion declined: Chicken as biological research model edit

Hello Anjuliyoung. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Chicken as biological research model, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Creator was not the only editor of this page. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:57, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
