Hello

Hello there! Welcome to Wikipedia, hope you have a good time here :) . Well, I wish I could suggest a topic for you, but my specialization is something diametrically opposite to what you are studying, so I'm at a loss for topics to write on :) . Lynch7 14:29, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Welcome

edit

Hello, Pdebarro, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Gender representation in media research

edit

Hello Pdebarro,

I have noticed that you linked some of VGresearcher's blog posts to some wikipedia articles. However, I must point out policies regarding sources, especially blogs may not be acceptable. Please see the article on verifiability. It would be better to find the original academic sources that did the studies so you can have a deeper understanding, citations and links to the original studies can be found at the end of every VGresearcher's posts.

As the blogger for VGresearcher, I can provide you the original academic sources and additional articles on gendered depictions of cartoons. If you are a university or college student, you can find more sources through google scholar. Please contact me by email by the address found in the [1] 'contact me' page.

Merge tags

edit

If an editor feels that two articles should be merged, they are entitled to place merge tags at the top of both pages. The next thing to do is engage in discussion, to determine whether or not there is consensus for the merge. As you can see from this discussion, there is in fact general consensus. If you disagree, you have to join the discussion. This is a collaborative project, and communication is essential. Repeatedly removing the merge tags without engaging in the debate is considered disruptive editing. You have to realise that you do not own the article. If you have valid reasons for opposing the merge, I implore you to voice your opinion here. --- DoctorKubla (talk) 06:47, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
