This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Guelph/Pet_Nutrition_(Fall).
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, Laurajones11, 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.

Starting a new thread on a talk page

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on Dog odor were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. Thank you. DferDaisy (talk) 18:33, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Links to Dog odor

Hello Laurajones11: I removed your link to dog odor in the See also section of vegetable oil because it did not appear to be relevant. There's no discussion of dog odor in the latter article. Please feel free to revert if you think this was in error, but do try to use an edit summary to explain your edits in future. Thanks! Kbseah (talk) 14:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Makes perfect sense!Laurajones11 (talk)

Original research and misleading use of references

With respect to this edit, which I undid, you used a reference that did not support the text that it purported to support WP:NOR (I have the full text in pdf format).

Please read carefully and apply the Wikipedia policies. If you have any doubt, consult with veteran users. Thank you very much.

Best regards. --BallenaBlanca (Talk) 11:33, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Primary research bad! Reviews good!

Providing a bit more explanation as to why everything you did was reverted, and what to consider adding again. Unlike writing for science journals, Wikipedia strongly dislikes primary research, i.e., whatever research groups did with dogs. Instead, need to use only reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. I looked back at what you had added and a lot of it was primary. Hope this helps.

Your draft article, Draft:Odor reduction dogs

Hello, Laurajones11. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Odor reduction dogs".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (📧) 14:00, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
