I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

Improving Immunology Articles[edit]

Hi Abledoc, I am simply an editor who thinks some of the immunology articles on Wikipedia are far from complete and the quality can be easily improved. I'd love to do it all by myself, but it'd be even better to do it in a team, to be more efficient as well as to get a wider viewpoints (from the medical, molecular and cellular viewpoints for example). If you are interested, please go to here and just start editing. The purpose of the page (it's a new page) is simply to get everyone together and collaborate, as to ensure there's editors for different topics. I look forward to working with you soon, any help would be greatly appreciated. Kinkreet^{~♥moshi moshi♥~} 01:03, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Academic journal articles[edit]

Hi, I see that you created some stubs on academic journals. Some helpful tips on how to expand these to more complete articles (that actually show that these journals are notable) can be found here. --Randykitty (talk) 13:21, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see that there are a lot of missing things on wikipedia and the first step is to create a stub and then work on stuff later on. Is there a simpler primer on editing journal pages. Abledoc (talk) 16:37, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With just a few minutes more, it's possible to create much more than a one-line stub (such as this one). Please see our journal article writing guide (which contains, a.o., pre-formatted references to independent sources, to show that a particular journal actually is notable). Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 09:39, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, it is a work in progress. I will be updating them further when I can get reliable links and references to what I will add later. As I have realised, there is no point in adding information (even where I know them to be accurate from having witnessed some of these close hand, without public documentation.

Correcting article name[edit]

If you realise an article is at the wrong title, as with Japanese College of Rheumatology, please don't just create a duplicate at the right title as you did at Japan College of Rheumatology. Use the "Move" tab to move the article to the new title, or use the Request Move process if necessary. I'll try to unpick the muddle here. PamD 22:59, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CfD process[edit]

Next time you wish to nominate a category for deletion, please follow Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion#HOWTO. This instruction looks more complicated than it actually is. Step 1 = check beforehand. Step 2 = put the right template on the category page. Step 3 = add the nomination to the discussion pages. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Community Oriented Program for Control Of Rheumatic Diseases[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Community Oriented Program for Control Of Rheumatic Diseases requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

November 2016[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Wiki Pancake ^{✉ 📖} 13:08, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The page I was editing, where I was painstakingly adding references were wiped by your edit. I try to save edits every five minutes. People are not robots to create a perfect page in one shot. I keep saving to see how the edits look before proceeding further. I have not yet finished with the page. I am in the process of adding a news reference. At least have the courtesy of googling something before and wait for some time before taking the sword. Wikipedia pages linked to things from the third world are insignificant while all nonsense from the first world (that is why its is first world, I see) in insignificant

First, make sure to sign your message with four tidles (~~~~). Second, where I was painstakingly adding references were wiped by your edit isn't an excuse when your article isn't in draft space/your sandbox. This should clarify People are not robots to create a perfect page in one shot. If you can't create an article that doesn't meet the notability guideline in "one or two shots", create the article in the draft space, i.e. Draft:Community Oriented Program for Control Of Rheumatic Diseases. Removing maintaince templates are strictly against the rules. Please keep this in mind. Lastly, please read up on Wikipedia:Edit Conflict to deal with the The page I was editing, where I was painstakingly adding references were wiped by your edit. remarks.

How do you create a draft Abledoc (talk) 13:19, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just as simple as creating an article, but if you can add in refs and info into your current state, then there's no need to create a draft; It'll stay at stub class. Read up on WP:NOTABILITY, and if you believe your article passes the criteria, feel free to remove my maintaince template. Cheers, Wiki Pancake ^{✉ 📖} 13:24, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced my template with an old one, as you wish. Wiki Pancake ^{✉ 📖} 13:29, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There you go. This will prevent editors from AfD/CSDing the article. Please note that this template will be remove if not edited/expanded for some time. Wiki Pancake ^{✉ 📖} 13:31, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Abledoc, to avoid interference when you create a new article, use your sandbox or draft space. There you can work without interruption until an article is ready for prime time. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 13:56, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Randykitty Thanks. BTW, I have a doubt, why are peer reviewed journal articles not considered a basis for significance. Shouldnt those who review articles at least google something before dismissing something. How can something that is in the title of 70+ journal article be not of significance. I think there should be guidance regarding this and wikipedia rules amended.

The article topic isn't what I'm not considering notable; it's the lack of content and sources. Infoboxes are a good method to summarize the article. The article can be put at stub-class but this does not mean that it is considered notable. Your article currently is okay, and has been put at stub-class. Also, external links are not allowed, please remove them from your article. You can cite it as a footnote. (Btw, Pinging with a simple "@" won't work; you have to use the

{{ping|USERNAME}}

template to ping the user. Happy editing, Wiki Pancake ^{✉ 📖} 14:34, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiPancake: I dont know how to create the Infobox. There are no easy way to add footnotes or references like adding an endnote reference. It takes much more time to create a reference element by element. Is there a quicker way of doing it. I will have to study some similar pages with Infobox and their structure. Now I will not be active for at least a month. Two conferences coming up, first at DC and then at Kochi Abledoc (talk) 18:34, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ProveIt is a very simple way of referencing -- as it creates the template for you, and all you have to do is enter the required info (not all). You can enable it in the "Gadgets" section of your preferences section. As for infoboxes, simply read up on Infoboxes. If you have any more questions, asking them at the teahouse will give you a quick and specific reply. Happy editing, Wiki Pancake 11:51, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aasheesh Pittie moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Aasheesh Pittie, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Ts12rAc^{talk to me} 17:29, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Aasheesh Pittie is among the most important people living today in Indian Ornithology. What he has done in the last few decaces (bringing people together, creating bibliography that is now searchable, and publishing Indian Birds is the modern equivalent of Allan Octavian Hume who is known as the "Pope of Indian Ornithology". While Europeans who shot or purchased birds not only birds named after them but are immmortalised in Wikipedia. Notability standards of western organisations like Wikipedia is clearly biased against asians and brown people.
