Menopause
Hi Inkbat, I left the message above for you. Welcome to Wikipedia. It was nice to see that you have an interest in Wikipedia, and in menopause! Welcome! Don't feel badly if some of your changes were changed again. The menopause article had a "B" rating when it was recently assessed, so it was considered to be in reasonably good shape. We are grateful for your interest and we hope you want to stick around: we are always happy to have another person who is interested. I just wanted to explain that Wikipedia articles are encyclopedia entries, not magazine articles or a self-help book, so sometimes they read a bit academic or technical or medical, and that is considered quite suitable. Also wanted to say that if you are planning to make fairly major changes to a section, it is always a good idea to let people know on the article talk page what you are planning and why, before you do it. That way you are more likely to get a consensus. Generally speaking, it's usually a good idea when you are new to start off with small changes and gradually get the hang of things. Welcome again and all good wishes to you. Invertzoo (talk) 18:56, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
