Welcome! edit

Hello, JZhang18, 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.

Ambient air quality criteria edit

Hello Jie,

I noticed you placed a question on Ian's talk page related to the Ambient air quality criteria article. I noticed that you mentioned editing the article, while also mentioning that your own sandbox remained empty. Your user sandbox (Which is located here: User:JZhang18/sandbox) remained empty because you didn't edit this sandbox page. Instead you edited the actual live copy of the article in question, which is located here: Ambient air quality criteria. As the user sandbox and the live article are two different pages your edits won't show up in your own user sandbox.

You can still find your own edits in that article's history section: Link to article's history. If Dr. Schade asks for your work, you could point to your edits in the article history. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 11:40, 29 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

While the information in the table is something that you can re-use, the layout may be copyrightable, and the specific wording of the footnotes is not something you can freely reuse. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:34, 21 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
