Reference Question[edit]

Hello! You asked a question at new contributor's help page. I have fixed your reference at Xenobiotic. In order to make a reference, you need to place the reference between a <ref> and a </ref>. The {{reflist}} at the bottom of the page automatically displays the references. I hope this helps. TN X Man 14:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

August 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Aquatic toxicology, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Aquatic toxicology was changed by Fagopyrum (u) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2010-08-01T14:56:20+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 14:56, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dont see any obscenities. Am I missing something obvious? Maybe it's your username? Though I wouldnt think ClueBot would be looking at the username. Either way I think you can ignore this. —Soap— 14:59, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I reported it on ClueBot's false positives page and was told that it was the 666 in the page listing that was the problem, not your username. —Soap— 15:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies Fagopyrum. 666 is "Satin's number" according to some USA religious nuts. ClueBot is just a software robot programmed, hopefully, to revert obvious vandalism. ClueBot screwed up here, it is ClueBot's problem and not yours, so don't worry about it. Your edits are good! --Epipelagic (talk) 08:14, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your references[edit]

Actually most of the references you are now adding to articles are not appropriate. It is not just a matter of adding any research papers you can find. There can be thousands of papers written about notable topics, but that doesn't mean that every paper published should be added as a reference. If a research paper is useful enough to cite in an article, then it probably is because it contains useful information that should be added into the body of the article. Please use discrimination and don't just add any old references. --Epipelagic (talk) 04:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
