mushroom bodies

Hello. When an article section is uncited, it appropriate to add a citation needed template. But it need not be deleted unless it is clearly wrong, or vandalism etc (which does not apply in this case). de Bivort 01:28, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. The page, however, will undergo extensive editing within the next week or so to incorporate pertinent information regarding learning and memory in drosophila, so I also deleted it for that reason as well. I'm keeping the text saved, but reworking it in a different palette.Mikecf10 (talk) 01:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you reverted the deletion. By all means, pursue a major upgrade to the article. That would be excellent. But you might as well leave the uncited (but true) material there until your new version is ready. (also, don't forget to sign comments like the one above with four tildes, to add your wiki signature information). de Bivort 01:33, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I haven't done this in a while! Thanks for helping out. Mikecf10 (talk) 01:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neuroscience

Hi Mike! It's lovely to make your acquaintance, and I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think you did a great job on mushroom bodies. This edit was particularly good! I didn't see any contributions you did to nociception assay, were you using another username or were you logged out when you worked on them? You can check out some neuroscience stubs and some tasks selected by WikiProject Neuroscience here. I hope this helps! Please ask me if you have any questions, I'm happy to help you out with anything. Best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 16:10, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Keilana! Yep, I worked on that one under a different username at the time. It was neuro184 or something like that. Thank you so much for your help! Best, Mikecf10 (talk) 16:29, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chubb illusion

Hey Mike! I think you're definitely on the right track with Chubb illusion. Nice work! One thing I think you can keep working on with it is to make the language more encyclopedic - that usually means toning down jargon, glossing terms, smoothing out the prose, less mentions of paper authors in the body of the text, etc. Here's an example - you've labeled the images "Figure 1", "Figure 2", etc., but our house style is less formal, so we usually just have the captions. You reference the images in the text the way you would in a scientific paper, which is okay, but again, our house style is a bit less formal. Check out the article on optical illusions to see one way of referencing images in the text while taking on a more encyclopedic tone. You've done some pretty wide research, which is great! You're doing really well and I'm quite impressed. :) Let me know if you want a formal review - you mentioned wanting more eyes on it; one thing you can do is ask a group of editors called the Guild of Copy Editors to go through it. In terms of specific people, I'm pretty sure User:Dank and User:Diannaa do copyediting as well. I noticed you created the rectangle image yourself and uploaded it, that's fantastic! Keep up the great work, and let me know if you need anything. All the best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 15:19, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks User:Keilana. Yeah- thats the main problem here. The language needs to be toned down a little. Yeah; I definitely want some eyes on it... I'll ask them to go through it and help me tone down some jargon.
