"Hyper" links

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia, Zinedine Socrates! You might try TWO square brackets at each end, such as [[UVA]] instead of just one at each end. Be careful that you don't link to disambiguation pages, though, because that's a no-no in articles. – Paine Ellsworth^CLIMAX! 22:43, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Welcome Zinedine Socrates!

Hello, Zinedine Socrates. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Paine Ellsworth, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Sincerely, – Paine Ellsworth^CLIMAX! 22:43, 22 January 2015 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

We at Wikipedia love evidence-based medicine. Please cite high-quality reliable sources. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:57, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

This includes review articles not primary sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:01, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I thought that because I stated that it was a primary source I was quoting it would be ok. Just so you know, I actually got the information from the wikipedia page on libido (under the section about physical factors affecting libido). Does this mean that that part of that page needs to be deleted? Zinedine Socrates (talk) 22:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bayer. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

I cited it, what have you given me this warning for? Zinedine Socrates (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

hi! you are getting to learn Wikipedia. i opened a discussion at the article talk page and see that you already replied there.. we'll discuss the issues there. Jytdog (talk) 20:55, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

you are also getting an introduction to the ugly kinds of things that can happen on article talk pages. Per WP:TPG, article talk pages are for discussing article content. When you find people talking about other editors on an article Talk page, it is bad behavior - some dispute happened somewhere else or some other time, and the person doing that has personalized it. it happens. :( Jytdog (talk) 22:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

thanks in any case for starting a discussion of the lead. that led to its expansion - it was too short. so thanks! good luck here. Jytdog (talk) 22:43, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
