Updates to Sarah Tishkoff's page

Hi Ian!

I just wanted to start by saying thanks very much for your work with the Wiki Edu Foundation!

I also wanted to reach out because I just tried to access my sandbox with the content contributed by my students for the "Sarah Tishkoff" page, and I was redirected to the actual page instead of my sandbox. It looks like you moved the content to the page, and I wanted to say thank you for doing that! I'll be working on cleaning up the content in my sandboxes for the "Human Tooth Sharpening" and "Genu Varum" pages in the next few days. Would it be possible for you to move those sandbox pages to the actual pages once they're ready to go live? I don't want to burden you too much, so I'm also happy just to add the content to the actual page bit by bit. Either way - thanks so much for your help!

Article Draft

Good afternoon, I submitted the Draft: The Power of Patients Stories a few days ago, but I have not received anyfeedback on whether anything needs to be changed or if it was received. Is there anything else that I should be doing? Thank you and have a great day! Lvazq064 (talk) 20:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WikiMed Project Medical Student Edits

Hi Ian! There is a section in the delayed puberty section called "normal timing." I wanted to check with you if I could remove the beginning of that section. It does not have any citations, only telling the reader to check the puberty article for the sources, which I can't find anywhere. I feel like this is a big part of the section so I dont feel comfortable removing it without checking with you first. Let me know! --Poodle0011 (talk) 23:07, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Need help request from HR Cat (talk)

Hello Ian,

I need help with....I need to find articles to edit which I know how to do however, I am confused as to whether I need a NEW sandbox page each time I find and edit a new article...or, do I just keep adding to my existing sandbox. At the moment, I don't even know if my current sandbox page is as it should be...my 1st assignment was to find an article to evaluate....don't even know if I did this correctly?

Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Florida Institute of Technology/Developmental and Molecular Biology (Spring 2019)

Just a heads up. One of the new editors User: User:Akhatan2016 copied a large chunk of copyright text from the Lancet to their sandbox. This is not consistent with Wikipedia's copyright violation policies as, even in a sandbox, the text is visible, even though it is excluded from search engines. I have asked that it be removed but it might be prudent to put out a general advisory about copyright violation and what Wikipedia does and does not allow. Many thanks Velella ^{Velella Talk} 04:21, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, Velella. Student editors are supposed to complete a training module about copyright and plagiarism, but it appears that this person hadn't done it yet.

I revdel'd the problematic revision and left them a note about it. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 04:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
