Welcome (again!)

Hello, Alphabetfood, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Dr Mynlieff's Neurobiology course. My job here is to help you work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user.

You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me. I will respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).

Note from Instructor

Alphabetfood, where is your userpage paragraph with links and image?--MMBiology (talk) 23:24, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In case you need help adding an image to your userpage I've prepared a short essay here to explain the basic process. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted userpage

Don't worry, it's not a problem. The page was deleted because LDNeurobio had left you a message there (she likes your username, BTW), and an over-zealous admin deleted it as a test page. You can still create the page; simply click on the red User page tab at the top left of this page, and write whatever you want in the box there - ignore the red message box at the top.

Your draft article

Hi Alphabetfood. Your Grinker myelinopathy draft is looking very good; well done! I'm especially impressed with your correct use of the {{cite}} template for your references. To make them tidier still, you can create multiple citations to the same source - for example, I notice that you've cited Custodio and Basford twice, separately. To combine these refs, replace the <ref> tag at the start of the first citation with this: <ref name="Custodio&Basford"> (the exact text between the quotation marks doesn't matter). Then take out the next instance of that reference entirely, from <ref> to </ref>, and replace it <ref name="Custodio&Basford"/> (note the slash at the end). This tells the software to create an inline citation to the pre-existing reference named "Custodio&Basford", so that instead of the same article appearing twice in your reference, it will appear only once with two footnote links to it. Have a go; let me know if you have any problems. And congratulations again on a rapidly improving page. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
