Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, here are a few relevant things:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.
Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 08:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Minor edits
[edit]Thank you for your edit to Colon (punctuation).
FYI, you should only use the M tag for trivial edits like spelling corrections. Size doesn't matter: changing "not" to "now" or vice versa is only a one letter change but is not minor. For the long explanation, see WP:MINOR. Also, citations go after punctuation. But this mechanical stuff is the easy bit: the hard work is what you did, finding a citation that supports the text.

- Well, started out as minor then kinda grew... My OCEWCD (obsessive-compulsive about English written clarity disorder). Most of my WP edits are word/phrase tweaks when I trigger. I consider those tweaks minor edits when there is no intent to change semantics. "not" --> "now" certainly changes meaning.
- And yes, my visual goof, superscript cites go after punctuation. Also, I had to resort to manual inline HTML 'code' tags as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd_help did not have a helpful example of a function to auto-escape otherwise HTML-eval triggering character sequences in a text selection to be taken literally. No Fix Code or Make Into Code button function.
