Hello, Arnabrchakrab. I have removed your addition to Motor system, per the discussion at Wikipedia:ENB#Test case. You have put a great deal of work into your sandbox, and I commend you for that, but it's not yet ready as an encyclopedic entry viewable on one of the world's most trafficked websites. I encourage you to discuss this with your professor, as I am concerned that s/he has not adequately prepared students for editing wikipedia, or adequately supervised and reviewed your work to assure it is ready for publication. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:59, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, SandyGeorgia. I am posting my work on the motor systems page so that my peers can review the page and help me update the page to the standards of one of the world's most trafficked websites. I do understand your concern and my professor has discussed with our whole class what must go on behind editing a Wikipedia article, but I would just like to ask you for permission to post my content onto the Motor Systems page so that it can be supervised and reviewed, as you suggested. Please give me until 00:00 (UTC) 27 November 2013 to make sure that the page is up to standards. Thank you! Arnabrchakrab (talk) 22:59, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- There is too much wrong there for me to be able to quickly, easily, or even over several days bring it to encyclopedic standards. I am unsure if Looie496 has time to help. The same can be said for most of the writing of your peers, who have dropped content into the project that probably doesn't belong there, but it happens that yours is in an area that I interact with and had previously watchlisted. Please discuss these problems with your professor and have your peers review your sandbox. I'm sorry that this is really your prof's problem and not yours, as you all don't seem to have adequate preparation or supervision, but that article is not ready for Wikipedia (nor are many others from your class).

Hi Arna - I agree with Sandy; unfortunately, your work isn't quite ready for main space yet. As Sandy said, your peers can review your sandbox directly - your content doesn't need to be in main space to be reveiwed by other people. I'm sorry if you've received inadequate instruction about applicable Wikipedia policies like WP:MEDRS (which I would encourage you to review.) If your instructor has a problem with your work not being in the main space of the encyclopedia at this point in time, feel free to ask them to contact me - I am a regional ambassador for the US Education Program, and can explain the problem to them, make suggestions to them about how they can improve their instructional design so as to avoid this sort of problem in the future, etc. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 00:25, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you all for your concern. My peers should be reviewing my article in my sandbox. I will continue to improve my article as much as possible by including more secondary sources. If anyone has any information or would like to help guide me towards an appropriate direction for this topic, then please feel free to reach out to me and do so. It would be much appreciated. Also I never intended this article to be medical based, but more so of a general informative article about motor systems and its various parts and how they work.Arnabrchakrab (talk) 21:21, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi guys, I want to go ahead and inform you that I will be posting my topic on the page once more. I have made some changes by putting in some more references that I initially left out in order to clarify the secondary sources. I have also made some changes in the overall structure and tried to make the writing style more encyclopedic. I would like ask that you guys continue to help me improve my article by providing constructive criticism, instead of immediately deleting it. I believe I initially asked for help, but never got any from any of you. Thank you very much for your help and concern! Arnabrchakrab (talk) 23:32, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 28
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Motor system, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Plasticity and Ventral horn (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
