It appears that you're participating in the Wikibomb2016, an editathon for Australian women STEM academics! Welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to welcome you and say that if you have any questions I'd be happy to assist you. One thing I would recommend you and your fellow Wikibomb2016 editors look at is WP:PROF which is a notability guideline specifically for academics. Unfortunately, not everyone is considered "notable" enough to have their own Wikipedia article (see the general notability guidelines as well). Figuring out Wikipedia's rules and bureaucracy can be frustrating, so feel free to ping me by using  when you reply to this message or you can come to my user talk page at User talk:EvergreenFir if you have any questions. Cheers!  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 06:18, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Helen Cleugh article
Hello, thanks for writing this! I've been just looking at the articles created recently and what happened to them. As a science graduate myself, I'm always keen to see new articles on this kind of topic.

Unfortunately, whoever ran the event you were at didn't do a very good job of mentoring you. Writing new articles is one of the tougher things to do on Wikipedia and it's best to draft these things and save the text until you've got it to a finished state, or run it through the articles for creation project rather than trying to publish at once. (In well-run events of this kind, you get a text put up on your user page to explain that you're new and might need some help.) Hence the wall of text above as people were confused about who was posting these articles and if it was someone using multiple accounts. Anyway, some thoughts on what to move onto next.

If you're creating an article for the first time, it's best to look at featured articles - supposed to be Wikipedia's best - on similar topics to give you some ideas on what to aim for, also look at the notability guideline - Wikipedia's guideline on good subjects for articles. Few suggestions on what to aim for next time: Otherwise best wishes, let me know if any questions or thoughts. Blythwood (talk) 22:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Make sure you proof-read before posting. Posting an article with the wrong capitalisation - "Helen cleugh" - is often assumed to be a sign that this is some kind of spam.
 * 2) Don't write as if you're trying to sell the person - this isn't a CV. Link to the lab group in the external links section, though, if there's a website.
 * 3) If you're writing an article and you're not that experienced, keep it short. Six sentences is probably a good maximum.
 * 4) Add a references section and reflist set to 30em. An article should have about five (non-identical) citations, so what you had was good there.
 * 5) Link to relevant topics like species that are the subject of research.
 * 6) Aim for at least six categories.
