Gabdal1

Welcome!

Hello, Gabdal1, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi, How was the wikipedia editing session? Hope it is helpflul for our mass spectrometry project. thilini ukwaththage (talk) 11:50, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS SESSION YET , I AM TRYING TO KNOW WHERE IT IS Gabdal1 (talk) 14:47, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Picking articles

It looks like you are up to speed on editing. Now it is time to choose an article to create or edit. Pick 3-5 potential articles and list them below. A good place to start is WikiProject Mass spectrometry. At the bottom of the page is the table of articles by quality and importance (also here) and the list of popular pages (also here). Pick out some interesting stub ([1]) or start ([2]) class articles. --Kkmurray (talk) 17:00, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

The article of choice for the project:

  Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization  (stub-class)

Gabdal1 (talk) 03:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Of these articles, I think that surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization might be the best to edit. --Kkmurray (talk) 15:05, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Reviewing

Hi ghada, Can you please tell me after you add your article to mainspace because I have to review it in this week.Thilini ukwaththage (talk) 16:08, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

I checked the references and put 1,2 in the main space. They seems to be ok. I checked the edit source code for your reference and also the ref. I put. The code is different. Put the references in main space. It is easier than finding the error. Thilini ukwaththage (talk) 11:03, 05 April 2016 (UTC)

Reference errors on 5 April

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization page, your edit caused a URL error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:24, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, UV filters and their photodegradates, metabolites and disinfection by-products in the aquatic environment

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, UV filters and their photodegradates, metabolites and disinfection by-products in the aquatic environment. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Lourdes 03:18, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

To admin User:RHaworth (notice also to User:Lourdes, User:Graeme Bartlett): Would you please restore the deleted article so that it may be reviewed and likely have portions merged to other articles? Please restore to this user Gabdal1's user space and reply with a link here. To both of you, I don't think it should have been Speedy Deleted at all, because from what I see here and at another page where the editor is inquiring about it it was a legitimate, good-faith article. A Merge proposal would have been far more reasonable than completely deleting this editor's work. --doncram 17:21, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, I butted in too fast. I see by the dates that the version deleted by Lourdes and RHaworth is not the newer version just deleted. User:Diannaa, are you involved? I see mention of copyright issue in section below. Perhaps there was too much material that seemed to be copied from another site, or there was material that was too closely paraphrased. I can't see what went on properly because I am not an administrator. Per the editor's request to Graeme Bartlett, it sounded to me that the version was just deleted, in which case there should be recent notices here. Whatever happened is not clear to the editor Gabdal1 and the recently deleted version should be made available for discussion, at least so the editor can learn from what happened. Hope I have not confused matters by butting in without complete information. --doncram 17:31, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Gabdal1, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to UV filter has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:43, 12 October 2016 (UTC) Thank you so much , i will fix it all .
