Welcome!

Hello, Cre8ifs, 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.

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. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:35, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Hi! I took a look but I couldn't find any other pages that you'd edited that would have sandbox content. I've re-added some of the material you've removed to the bottom of the page. Feel free to remove it as needed. It's everything under the section "earlier content that was removed".

On a side note, I saw that you're editing on a science related topic. I need you to take this training, which goes over how to edit articles in the realm of health and psychology. While science doesn't always necessarily overlap with health and psychology, science related articles on Wikipedia tend to be fairly specific in how they want things phrased and sourced. It tends to most closely resemble how the health and psychology articles are written. It's definitely something that's different than editing articles in other topic areas and this training module will be of immeasurable help.

I also recommend that since you're writing on a biochemistry article, that you use other, similar articles as a general guideline on how to format the article. Brochures like this, this and this may also be helpful to you as well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:38, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Need help request from Cre8ifs (talk)

Hello.

I need help with...

Getting back my work !!!

Thanks for cutting and pasting the work from my article selection but I don;t need that now.

I spent hours last night editing and today picked up from there. In visual mode, since the source mode was messy And was very nearly done. When I went to publish, I got an error message saying there was a conflict, that other editor had modified my article. I could not leave the page lest my work be lost. So I had to close it. ALL of the last 5 hours of work seems now gone.

Is it still somewhere ?

As for my question: each time I entered I saw 2 panels saying I was a student, then later 3 panels.

Unfortunately not - you have to save the work for it to be kept somewhere. I'm so sorry that this happened to you! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine phosphate

Hi Cre8ifs, I am trying to add a chembox to the page you wrote 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine phosphate. Firstly what is this page about as its main topic? If it is actually HMP, then there was already a stub called Toxopyrimidine for this chemical. I suspect that you actually are far more interested in the phosphate(s). Secondly in the first sentence you fail to mention the 4-amino group. There is a chemical called "5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine" and it is unclear if that is what you mean, but I suspect that every chemical you write about, has the 4-amino bit in it. I renamed your article, but I may rename it again so that it reduces overlapping scope with Toxopyrimidine. Please respond here or on the article talk page to clarify.
