This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Michigan/Plants_and_Human_Health_(Fall,_2017).
Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Welcome!

Hello, Hancast, 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.

Gomphrena globosa

Nice work on the Gomphrena globosa article. However, the section on "Betacyanin Extraction and Identification" is too specific for Wikipedia. This level of detail isn't appropriate for a general encyclopedia article. Anyone actually interested in doing extractions would need a much more detailed source, while anyone who isn't actually interested in doing this wouldn't be interested in this section. In addition, it's far too close to giving "how to" advice, which is something that isn't permitted on Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:01, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
