Hello, Aschultheiss and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:00, 21 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I saw that you and a lot of other editors are developing the Wikipedia article Intersex. Are you with a class project? Some of what you and other users are doing does not comply with Wikipedia community guidelines, and volunteers here will have to fix what you are doing. If you are with a class, could you please ask your professor to go through Wikipedia Education Program training for professors?
If you and your class are not able to comply with Wikipedia community guidelines in adding content then everything that you have added will be reverted. We are all volunteers here and while we are able to have relationships with classes which want to partner with Wikipedia, we cannot be on call to volunteer large amounts of time for people who do not meet us. Consider also posting to the WikiProject Medicine page to talk to the community about developing health content. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:09, 21 November 2013 (UTC)Reply


Hello, yes I am part of class project for the course Gender and Science at University of California, Irvine. The class is separated into small groups in which we are attempting to add objective knowledge to subjects (not just Intersex) covered in our course. Our professor has gone over Wikipedia guidelines, and we anticipate that if our contributions are not up to standard then they will be removed from articles. However, our goals are to add objective information with proper citations that last. Aschultheiss (talk) 20:41, 21 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
