Welcome new user
[edit]Hello, User:Tsundoku, I see you've opened an account and begun to make edits to the encyclopaedia. You are most welcome and thank you for the constructive edits you have made.
I'm Lumos3, one of the numerous editors here. I voluntarily work as a welcomer to newcomers. I'm posting below a standard welcome box with lots of useful links. I hope you get pleasure from editing and making Wikipedia an even better resource for the community.
I myself have come to the conclusion that editing and watching a topic is a great way to learn about it in depth and stay on top of current developments in a field.
Wikipedia encourages new members to jump in and make corrections and contributions to articles. I found the Be bold guideline particularly encouraging when I was getting started. I also found the Wikipedia:Cheatsheet a useful quick reference for editing the source text but our new VisualEditor makes editing much easier (This needs to be turned on in your user preferences under beta features).
If you have any questions about the project don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page here :-User_talk:Lumos3.
Happy editing,

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
(~~~~)
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Lumos3 (talk) 10:21, 17 February 2014 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
article drafts
[edit]Hi, I notice that you've recently made a lot of empty userspace drafts, maybe based on the requested articles lists at various wikiprojects. Are you planning to actually work on the articles? You might post to the wikiproject talk pages if you want help or collaboration.
I think "Neurotoxicologists"[1] doesn't really make sense as an article, and it is probably in the biology request list as a way of asking for biographies of individual neurotoxicologists, or the creation and population of a category.
Similarly, causal Bayesian networks are treated at the article Bayesian network and it's not clear what's to be gained by splitting out a separate article. The existing article could use some cleaning up though.
Anyway, it's good to see that you're interested in contributing to these subjects. Feel free to let me know if I can help in any way.
