Welcome
Hello, Ecrossi04 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! —C.Fred (talk) 02:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity has been reverted. Your edit here to The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC-qcjnHxkc) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:53, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity
Hello, Ecrossi04,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Adam9007 (talk) 16:34, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mifter. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mifter (talk) 17:10, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Deleted article
I've deleted the article because ultimately it had several issues, which I'll go into as follows.

The first is that there is already an article on the Affordable Care Act and at best, this article would be considered redundant. The second issue is that ultimately this article was a personal research paper and as such, contained a lot of original research, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. This is a frequent issue with new editors, especially people that have only ever written research papers. There's a big difference between research papers and encyclopedia articles, mainly that you can put original research in a research paper. You're also able to be a little non-neutral in a research paper, whereas you shouldn't do this in an encyclopedia article.

I'm willing to mail a copy of this to you but I would need you to enable your e-mail address on Wikipedia and I need you to understand that this would be e-mailed to you so you can revise this to see if there is reason to merge some of the information into the main page. This would not be sent to you so you could repost it to Wikipedia. I also want to note that putting a comment in a Wikipedia article that people should contact you by going to an off-Wikipedia site is really, really not a good idea for several reasons. The first is that if you want people to contact you, you need to check your Wikipedia page. Editors are under no obligation to go to any off-Wikipedia site to contact you, especially since they may not have an account via that site. It's also better to try to limit your contacts to Wikipedia's talk pages so we can all keep track of the conversations. It's also a bad idea to place a personal account link on Wikipedia since this can be seen as spam and in the case of this article, it's very, very inappropriate to place a personal link on a live article. The moment a page goes live, it is no longer "yours". If you want to be kept abreast of what will happen to the page, you need to keep checking Wikipedia. Very, very few people are going to do this for you and I'll be very honest- it reflects very poorly on you that you are not willing to keep up with the page.
