Welcome!
Hello, TreyDumler, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:16, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Introduction:
Hey, Trey! Tyler here with a quick introduction on your Talk page. Look at us editing code on Wikipedia. In a way, it is learning how to use a new language. Nice to meet you and good luck with all of your future research! --TylerDC25 (talk) 16:37, 11 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Trey! Nice to meet you! My name is Claire and I am in your History of Science class! I have never been apart of an editing process quite like this before. I am looking forward to this experience! Good luck with your research endeavors and have a great day. Claire.l.m (talk) 22:36, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Oh Dear Reply
Hey guys, I noticed that this was an issue when I moved the article to mainspace. I also left a message on the Kate Gordon Moore talk page. Let me know what I can do. TreyDumler (talk) 01:01, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm really sorry about this, Trey. I've replied on the article talk page. Let me know if you need more from me (other than doing the hard work, obviously ;) --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hope I dont get in your way ... I'm going to try to sfn all of the references. Going in... --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:51, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No go right ahead! I really appreciate it. I was actually just trying to read up on the sfn references and how to do them. Thank you thank you thank you! TreyDumler (talk) 02:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * They're something of a challenge. The main thing is to use a citation template such as Template:Cite book for the source (or any on the list Help:Citation Style 1), and ensure that you have a parameter  in the citation. After which an sfn in the form that I've used will work - by & large the sfn specifies the author or authors and the date, and that is enough for the hyperlink to work; and each sfn can have its own page number. For Fisher et al, because of the large number of authors, rather than   I used   which is a hack that allows me to specify the authorname term that then gets used in the sfn. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:10, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I'm done. There are a couple of sources which do not have refs pointing to them - Gordon, K. (1917), and the final one. I cheated on the sfns for ref 7, by quoting the entire page range for the article rather than working out which page the info came from. You could change these or not (i.e. in the Achievements & Awards section, and in the Nat prof socs section. Oh. I think you have been adding, which I have now changed to   ...  you need to use the surname, and you need to specify the date! So, for all of these, it would be handy to change the page reference to point to the single page from which the info is taken (e.g. p=54) rather than the range. Thanks for your good work, TreyDumler. Come back to me (e.g. on my talk page) if you need anything else from me. I hope this'll not be the last article you do. And, I guess, we still need to get to the point where you are happy that everything has been taken from the other article, and the whole thing replaced with    --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for all of your help! I will edit that to fit the pages and I still want to bring a couple more things over from the article I made. Once I do so I will change the code and redirect it to the article. Give me a few more days and probably by Dec. 7th I will have all the information edited and fixed. Thank you again for all of your help, and I do plan on doing more articles in the future. TreyDumler (talk) 03:53, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
