Welcome!

Hello, Kyyylove, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Work on Temporalis muscle

Hi Kyyylove! I'm a random Wikipedia editor from WikiProject Anatomy. I see that you've been assigned a student project to work on the article Temporalis muscle. I hope that you find this enjoyable, and that it goes well for you. If you need any help in terms of Wikipedia policy or editing, please let me know on my talk page. I've got the article on my watchlist to keep track of your improvements to it. I hope this is helpful! Bibeyjj (talk) 19:28, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are there selective advantages and disadvantages to the size and thickness of an animal's temporals muscle? Kyyylove (talk) 06:48, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft

Hi. I notice that you moved your sandbox to mainspace. This isn't the way it's done. You need to add missing information to the Temporalis muscle article, not create a duplicate.

In addition, everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be supported by inline sourcing as explained in this training slide. Readers need to be able to check the statements you add to the article against the sources you've used. When you add a link to a reference immediately after the sentence where you make the claim, it's easy for readers to verify the claims.

When it comes to phrasing, Wikipedia articles use a "just the facts" type of approach, and avoid talking directly to the reader. So a statements like Rather, it is important to avoid believing fiction to be factious doesn't belong because (a) what's "important" is a judgment call, not a fact, and (b) this isn't directly tried to the source you provided.

Similarly, when you discuss something like Common textbooks and diagrams illustrate the temporals muscle as a single unit that are easily identified by any common student. Despite the textbook illustrations, this muscle actually consists of two distinct layers... you need to think about where you're placing this in the article, and how you're sourcing the statement. If you're writing about misconceptions, it need to be tied to a source about misconceptions. If you're talking about the actual structure, on the other hand, you need to stick to describing the structure, without the aside about common misconceptions.

One more thing to keep in mind - while comments about student misconceptions are probably worth making while speaking to other students, they don't really belong in an article like this one which is aimed at general audiences. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:03, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
