Welcome
Hello, Aagig12! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that you are here to participate in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia's page for questions. You can also ask me by visiting and leaving a message, or you can ask your question on this page by editing it and placing   before your question. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages, which is done by entering four tildes ( ~ ) at the very end of it; this will automatically insert your username and the date. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page.

Before you create an article, make sure that you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page (editing policy)
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * Help pages index
 * Visual editor tutorial
 * Wikitext tutorial (if you're choosing to edit pages using the Wikitext source code instead of the VisualEditor)
 * Wikitext cheatsheet

While editing:
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! - The Master of Hedgehogs (always up for a conversation!) 14:30, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Aagig12, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Copyright problem on Ageusia
The text you added to the above article include passages that were copied directly from your sources. This was detected by automatic plagiarism detection software. For copyright reasons, a lot of content had to be deleted. Remember that additions to Wikipedia need to be written entirely in your own words. Please review the Plagiarism and Copyright training module before making additional edits. Thanks. — Diannaa (talk) 00:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Could you possibly check to see if there needs to be more fixing? I went in and wrote some in my own words. not finished yet but just want to make sure there isn't any plagiarism Aagig12 (talk) 21:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed one paragraph. You are presenting the same content as the source, using very similar wording. That's not okay.By the way, poor nutrition is not a lifestyle choice, it is a problem many people experience due to factors such as food deserts or poverty or (in some countries) famine and drought. Please don't take a US-centric view. This is a medical problem that could happen to people anywhere in the world. Obesity is not a lifestyle choice either. — Diannaa (talk) 13:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * alright. thanks for your input. Will make sure I do not have a "US-centric view." Aagig12 (talk) 14:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
