Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant

Welcome

Hello! I am assuming you have come over from the English Wikipedia, so you are probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few links to help you adjust:

• An English Wikipedian's guide
• Writing in Simple English
• Simple talk: our help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
• How to copy from English Wikipedia
• A very incomplete list of our active editors

There is much to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that do not exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you would like to do. Thank you for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need help. Rus793 (talk) 20:58, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Lovely welcome

I am very excited to be here. Everyone seems very polite and nice. Thanks. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant (talk) 14:12, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

We are always happy to have new editors here. Please understand, we are a small Wikipedia and do not have many tutorials. We rely on canned messages (as above) to help editors understand if there is an issue or problem with an edit or an article. The messages are designed to be both helpful and corrective in pointing out which guideline or policy would explain the correct procedure. Case in point, many of us have imported articles from the English or other Wikipedias. The problem is our readers include those who are just learning English. So we use simple sentences and, whenever possible, simpler words in our articles. Complex articles from other Wikipedias can be copied here if simplified and wikified (linking words to other articles or to the Simple English Wiktionary). The only other requirement is to provide Transwiki attribution. It is a good way to get new articles here. Be a little careful not to assume all articles at other wikis are good articles or are well sourced. Look over any articles carefully and use your best judgement. If you have any questions, you can ask here or at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Welcome and we hope you enjoy editing here. Rus793 (talk) 17:19, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

BTW, you might want to copy the above articles from Enwiki to a Sandbox (the link will create one for you) and you can work on simplifying and wikifying them there. Then you can resubmit the simplified articles. Good luck. Rus793 (talk) 17:29, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

basic editing rules

Material taken from English wiki needs to meet these criteria:

1. It should be rewritten to be simpler, not just a copy/paste.
2. Its origin should be properly acknowledged on its talk pages using as an example "{{enwp based|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philosophical_skepticism&oldid=346768538}}"
3. Notability of the topic must be claimed, and verified with sources independent of the subject. The sources must be of sufficient status for their opinion to have weight.

So far almost all your new pages have failed one or two of these requirements. I suggest you try to edit in a way which fits our rules. Regards, Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:47, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

It is my understanding that attribution you talk about can be done in one of two ways. The coding on the talk page as you state, or the attribution can be done in the fashion of providing in the edit summary, which is the method I used. Is it against the rules here to provide attribution in that fashion? Regardless, I left attributions on the history pages. I would never not provide attribution. Please do not worry, you will not be needing to worry if my editing here fits within your rules for editing here, because I plan to do little to no editing here in the future. I can take a hint. I can see that I am anything but welcome here. Good luck with this wiki. I think it serves a great purpose. Happy editing. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant (talk) 09:27, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Attributions on edit summaries are not sufficient. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:31, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

notes

Hello, Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant. When you revert a user's changes, like you did earlier, don't forget to leave the user a message on their talk page. You may find Template:User talk page warnings/table useful when doing this, to let them know that the change was considered inappropriate, and to direct them to the sandbox. Thank you. — MBlaze Lightning 12:56, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Jane Grimwood

Jane Grimwood is a British microbiologist who later moved to the United States settling in the state of Alabama.

Early life and education

Grimwood was born in England. Her father was a chemist. She always wanted to be a scientist as a child. Grimwood was awarded her B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom. She did her postdoctoral training at the University of Oxford, University of San Francisco and Dartmouth College.

Career

"Since 2000, she has been a Senior Scientist at the Stanford Human Genome Center. There she and her group were responsible for finishing and performing quality analysis on the 320 million base pairs of human chromosomes 5, 16 and 19, comprising more than 10% of the human genome." Grimwood stated, "I feel very lucky to have been a part of the Human Genome Project. It was arguably the best international collaborative project of our lifetime."

Since the Human Genome Project finished in 2008, Grimwood has led a group of researchers who focus on sequencing and finishing a group of eukaryotic genomes that include fungi]], plants, and vertebrates.

"We are excited to apply our experience in plant genomics to a crop which is of such major economic importance to Alabama and the rest of the Southeast," said Grimwood. "The reference genome sequence generated as a result of this work will form the basis for accelerated breeding for important agronomic traits in tetraploid cotton."

The other four members of the grant team are Chris Saski a Clemson University scientist, Jeffrey Chen from the University of Texas at Austin, David Stelly from Texas A&M, and Brian Scheffler from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Sandbox

Instead of working on pages in your talk page, you might want to use a Wikipedia:Sandbox. It is a subpage of your userpage. They are easy to create and you can have more than one if you like. On the Sandbox link above is a link to create your own sandbox. Its just an easy and convenient way to create sandboxes. If you have any questions, please ask. BTW, the article looks interesting.
