Welcome!
Hello, Almipe2022, 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) 01:47, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Sourcing
Hi - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator here. I have seen a couple of edits you made to our articles about Alchemy and Astrology and astronomy, but I have reverted them for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, they were not supported by reliable sources. One source looked as though it was someone's blog, the other describes itself on its 'About' page as "a forum for students to discuss and exchange their perspectives on science and its role in society". Please take time to read through WP:RS to find out more about what we consider to be a reliable source here. The other reason was that the content you added seemed not to really add anything to the paragraphs you added them to. Before adding any content to our articles, please consider whether it has already been covered within the article. Thanks, and good luck with your studies.

Stop
Hi again - I've just seen the latest edits you made to Humorism. Not only is the source sub-optimal (it's a children's website packed with fun facts), you are also breaching our copyright policies. This needs to stop now, or your account will be blocked. Girth Summit  (blether) 22:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Look, I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but you just made this edit. I cannot see anything in the cited source that supports the idea that the Ancient Egyptians made scissors and scalpels out of bits of wood. I don't want to block a new student user, but I will do that if you won't stop adding stuff like this. I'll be happy to give you some guidance if you need help, but so far you have not responded to any of my posts. Girth Summit  (blether)  23:35, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Girth,
 * I actually am giving my best attempt and am required to edit 500 words for an assignment. You can find the information about ancient surgical instruments under "2. Some basic concepts about traditional ancient Egyptian medicine" in the paragraph beginning with "The surgery in ancient Egyptian..."

 * Can you please just revert my edits rather than blocking me? I apologize for my mistakes. Almipe2022 (talk) 00:28, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for engaging with me here. I'm happy not to block you, so long as you are willing to discuss the edits you're making. Looking at that source, I see that the relevant sentence is quite badly written, so I can see how you might get confused, but I think it's clear that it is only saying that splints were made out of bits of plant; it doesn't say what the scalpel, forceps or scissors were made from. It doesn't say anything at all about clamps. Girth Summit  (blether)  08:59, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
