Welcome!

Hello, Qharris232, 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:28, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Knowledge Neglect

Hi. Just wanted to let you know this is not how you go about creating a new page. To that end, I will be moving Talk:Knowledge Neglect to Draft:Knowledge Neglect and nominating both the original talk page and article page for deletion. An article must meet notability guidelines. A work in progress most likely would not. An article's talk page is for discussing changes in existing articles, not for drafting new articles. You are quite new I see. I will leave you some links to help you learn the ropes and a link to a place where you can ask for help.

You can work on your draft at your leasure. I would suggest getting it reviewed at articles for creation prior to moving it back into the encyclopedia. John from Idegon (talk) 21:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Another editor has "Wikified" your draft a bit and left you a handy template for you to use when you submit it. I am not much on editing technical medical articles, but I do have some general suggestions. First, use your sources as inline citations. I will leave you dome simple to follow instructions for how to mark them up at the bottom of the page. Second (and good!), it appears your citations are academic journals. You may wish to check at WP:MEDRS on the acceptability of the individual journals. They seem solid to me, but other than dealing with my psycho ex, the last time I thought seriously about psych was in college several decades ago. John from Idegon (talk) 22:53, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

elcome to Wikipedia Qharris232, from WikiProject Editor Retention
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talk page of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you.

This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes (~~~~) or by pressing or in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Adding references can be easy

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
2. Then click on "Templates".
3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
6. Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

• Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header   ==References==   is near the end of the article.
• And check that   {{Reflist}}    is directly underneath that header.

7.  Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 22:53, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
