Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * 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.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * 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. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! tedder (talk) 11:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

LABIO links
Hi- the reason I've removed the links from Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute‎ and Harbor–UCLA Medical Center‎ can be seen in my edit summary. See the guideline at External links. Under WP:ELPOINTS it says: "In the 'External links' section, try to avoid separate links to multiple pages in the same website" In other words, there is strong consensus that only one official link be given. This is echoed elsewhere, such as in the policy that says "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links". There are sites that do that.

You'll note in this edit that you duplicate one URL and the third URL is not about the main topic of the site and falls under the "same website" label.

In this edit, you simply added a subpage. Again, that is clearly counter to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

There are many ways you could contribute productively on Wikipedia. LABioMed only has one citation. Adding citations, especially to the history, would help immensely. tedder (talk) 11:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
