Welcome
Hello, BQUB15-Lreyes and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating 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 Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure 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 that. 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 this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Pam D  21:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Your edits to Pneumocandin Bo
It is sad when professors tell their students to edit Wikipedia without giving them adequate (or any?) training in how to do so. The students find that their editing is criticised, or reverted, though it's not really their fault.

There were several problems with your series of edits earlier today.


 * 1) You added content without giving any sources: everything in Wikipedia must be sourced to Reliable Sources
 * 2) You didn't link the content to any other articles in the encyclopedia
 * 3) You decided to change the format of headings - adding italics to one, and making them "Level 1" headings. Level 2 headings are used for main sections of articles
 * 4) You added a heading "Symptoms" with no content in that section, but it seems an incomprehensible heading to add: illnesses or people afflicted by them have symptoms, but chemical substances do not.
 * 5) One sentence was completely unintelligible, perhaps because you had edited it several times and dropped text into the wrong place: "Disruption of gl-oxy-4, a non-heme, alpha-ketoglutarate- dependent oxygenase, confirmed its involvement in L-leucine cyclization to form 4 S-methyl-L-proline occupies the exapeptide core is position 6 resulting in exclusive production of pneumocandin B0- exclusive mutant indicated that chemical mutagenesis disrupted the gl-oxy-4 gene function by introducing two amino acid mutations in Gl-oxy-4." Did you read what you had written before you stopped editing?

Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, not a student laboratory. Please take more care to learn how to edit correctly. It looks as if your professor should have given you much more help before setting you all to work on the encyclopedia. Pam D  21:30, 19 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I see that you have edited the article further. Please note that adding "External links" is not a substitute for adding references to each section of the article, as you go along, to show us the sources of your information. I would hope that your professor would have explained this to you. Please follow the link above to our "Online training for students", especially the sections about citing sources such as Training/For_students/Citing_sources and the next couple of sections.

 * Well done! Adding a proper reference, and correcing a spelling. Thanks. Pam  D  17:59, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
