Section being removed

Why does the Spread... section keep getting removed? The reference is a legitimate source and is interesting information regarding the spread of the fungus.

It keeps getting removed because it is original research and does not belong in the article. What does a 1939 source have to say about the spread of a disease that wasn't discovered until the 1990s? If you think it is germaine to the article, please find a more recent (preferably WP:Secondary) source that discusses this and propose your addition to the talk page.

Moreover, the 1939 source talks about one doctor importing toads to England. It is a huge leap of original research to assume this single act was responsible for the spread of the fungus around the world. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

October 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Chytridiomycota, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. The material you added is just based on one journal article, and that's not nearly enough to warrant inclusion.

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask your instructor to visit the education noticeboard

Per WP:ASSIGN, your instructor should allow grading from your sandbox. If you click on Special:MyPage/sandbox it will take you there. If your instructor has any questions, tell them they can post at the WP:ENB, where you and your class have been mentioned. It's unfortunate it appears your instructor didn't prepare you for the class. Who knows. Best regards. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 19:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, what you posted at Chytridiomycota‎ was a copyright violation of the the article you cited. As other users have asked you, can you please have your instructor contact the educational board? Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:34, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello students, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. You and your classmates have been doing good work to expand articles about endangered and extinct animals. You are making a lot of improvements to the article you have chosen. I am leaving this note to offer some advice about editing more carefully and about editing Wikipedia in general.

If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me for help by creating a new section on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay, learn, and contribute even after your assignment is finished!

Please take a look at the changes I have made to citations in the article you are editing. When you add citations, please try to format them to match the citations I have edited. Specifically:

Do not use month=, just put the whole day, month, and year in the date= parameter.
Fill in accessdate= only when you have a url to go with it. accessdate= is not necessary for journal citations.
accessdate= and other dates need to be in one of these formats. Date formats like 10/12/2013 can be confusing to people reading in countries where they put the day of the month first.
Use pages= for the page numbers of a journal article, like this: pages=253–264. You should not cite the specific page on which the cited information appears.
Web addresses need to start with "http://", like this: url=http://www.science.org. This is not right: url=www.science.org.
I have noticed some typos in the citations that your fellow students have added. I strongly recommend using the copy and paste feature of your computer to avoid typos.

Thanks for all of your hard work! – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:37, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
