Thanks, I am learning a lot!--S.shaw1234 (talk) 14:07, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's good. Looking forward to an explosion in well-informed lifecourse epidemiology articles on WP! --Fnorman-london (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hi - I'm just reviewing what we achieved yesterday, and it's a lot! It's not usual for a Wikipedian to edit another user's user page, but I'm sure you won't mind that I've fixed some links in your profile. Thanks for linking my blog post!

Since you're a published author, do you have an ORCID identifier? This is an open, free authority file to identify authors. You can register for free at orcid.org to get your unique number, then add it to blogs, papers, and even your Wikipedia user page. See the foot of my user page for an example. Andy is the expert on this and he may be able to help further if you have any questions. I'll email an evaluation form as promised. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 13:41, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello (and thanks, Martin). Please see WP:ORCID for details of how to show your ORCID iD on your Wikipedia user page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:15, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Martin for the edits to my page. Do you have a list of what people worked on yesterday? I only have a very few publications so have not yet claimed my ORCID yet. One day soon. --Fnorman-london (talk) 16:16, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've put a list at the foot of wmuk:Wikipedia at NIMR. I've uploaded some figures from Bing's papers, which can been seen at Talk:AMP-activated_protein_kinase#new_papers. Cheers! MartinPoulter (talk) 16:25, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Fnorman-london, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Kathy Niakan has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:05, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contacting Editors from the Ada Lovelace Editathons

Hi Fnorman-london,

I hope you don’t mind me contacting you via your talk page. I’m a new Editor to Wikipedia, part of a small research team based at the University of Birmingham in the UK. I’m getting in touch as we’re trying to contact all the Editors who were involved in the Ada Lovelace Editathons in Oxford or London. If you have been, or still are, involved in editing, whatever the scale of your involvement, we would be very grateful for the opportunity to talk to you about your experiences. In the first instance, we’ve set up a short (10 minute) survey, which you can access via my User Talk Pages. If you are interested in helping with our research project, please can you drop me a line?

Thanks, RuthPage (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:49, 11 June 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Harold Joel Conn

Hello, Fnorman-london. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Harold Joel Conn".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 10:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fnorman-london. I've postponed the deletion of this article because I believe H.J. Conn is probably notable. Are you planning to continue working on this draft? If not would you object to my taking it over, and trying to show notability? Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:01, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Expresso Addict. Sorry I've only just seen your message. Yes, of course that's fine. I can see you have been busy and have done a great job on Conn's page. Thanks for doing that. I had planned to get back to this but I didn't make time to do it. Is there a category for deaf scientists that could be added? Fnorman-london (talk) 16:51, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
