Welcome! edit

Hello, Paigehutner, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

February 2018 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Gender, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Do not remove answered questions please. NeilN talk to me 02:52, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sign talk pages, not articles edit

Welcome, Paigehutner,

This is a talk page (your "User talk page"); articles also have talk pages (when you click the "Talk" tab at the top of any article, it takes you to the article talk page). But articles, like Disability studies, are not talk pages. Please do not sign articles by adding ~~~~ or any form of signature to the article, as you did at this edit at Disability studies. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 10:23, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi! I removed one of your edits, specifically this addition to disability studies:
"Reading disease and disability as existing in a complex interaction of relations enhances all these goals. But it also enhances the practice of medicine: recognizing the ways that agency and representation, for example, may affect a patient's compliance witha physician's orders can lead to more successful treatment." Paigehutner (talk) 02:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Be careful and make sure that you don't sign articles. Also, be cautious when posting new content to articles. While the quote is good and you sourced it, it's better to summarize content in your own words rather than use quotes. This can not only help make sure that the content fits into the article better, but it also would be better since summarizing it in your own words can often make it easier for the reader to understand.

Invitation edit

  Hello, Paigehutner, I have noticed your interest in articles related to Disability. I'd like to invite you to become a part of WikiProject Disability, a WikiProject aimed at improving the quality of articles dealing with disability related articles on Wikipedia.

If you would like to participate, please visit the project page for more information. Thanks! Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:02, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Topic Disability edit

Hello Paigehutner,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Topic Disability for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

  • Paige, please don't move your article evaluation live - this should remain in your sandbox. This has been moved back. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:06, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
