Welcome

Hello, Profbigvern, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Profbigvern, good luck, and have fun. Stinglehammer (talk) 13:58, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Orphan

One error that is committed by the majority of people who created new Wikipedia articles is to leave new articles "orphaned", i.e. with no links to the new article from other articles. If you know of other articles that should link to Quasi-variance, could you add those links? I may add some myself as well. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Social Stratification Research Seminar

Hello. I am not sure that the topic Social Stratification Research Seminar meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. As you are a scholar in the relevant field, your contributions are welcome, but on Wikipedia we forbid original research and personal opinions, and use coverage in high quality, independent, secondary sources to assess whether a topic merits inclusion in the encyclopedia, not our own notions of how important a subject may be. If you have access to reliable sources that discuss the Seminars in depth, please add them to the article. Since you are a professor, please see our advice for Expert Editors, as well as Wikipedia editing for research scientists and Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia (aimed at biomedical researchers, but applicable to all scholars). Also, be aware of conflicts of interest that can arise when writing about an area of one's research, or their colleagues, institutions, etc. For particular questions about editing, you can ask the helpful volunteers at the Teahouse, or paste the template {{Help me}} here on your Talk page followed by a question, and a volunteer will help you shortly.
