Wikipedia is a megalopolis and like in any city, interactions are very important. I recommend that you develop your user page so that people who visit your page may know your interests and share in them. It could be a single line telling others of not only your name but what you like or a complex page with every single thing that interests you on it. This is a great way of building up work groups that facilitate the sharing of expert knowledge on articles, talks etc. Happy building!!!  CrossTempleJay  talk 21:28, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Being a member of the welcoming committee on Wikipedia I encourage you to help Wikipedia in any way you can to increase human knowledge. If you have credible information about a topic with verifiable references please feel free to add to that topic. If there is no article on that topic, why not start it, with time others will add to it and it may even make the featured articles list. By doing this, I have been able to make over 6000 page edits in both new articles, article improvement etc. Furthermore, I encourage you to aim to be a member of the autoconfirmed users [[1]] group as this will greatly improve your Wikipedia experience. You can do this by making at least 10 credible edits on Wikipedia and remaining on Wikipedia for four (4) days. Check out this page for tips. CrossTempleJay  talk 21:28, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Media files, be it images, drawings or sound files are an integral part of Wikipedia's articles. They apart from enriching articles, make them more credible too. You can add media files to both your new articles as well as once you are editing. To do so you can search for it on wikipedia:commons or you can either upload the image if you have it using this file uploader or [commons uploader]. Please be informed that you must provide accurate information about the file being uploaded since they are reviewed and if if is found that the license given to the file is false, it will promptly be deleted.  CrossTempleJay  talk 21:28, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

As you age on Wikipedia, one thing you will come across and probably address will the issue of bad edits or vandalism. There are several ways of spotting them:

• by reviewing articles on your watchlist regularly and looking for bad edits
• verifying new changes to pages and articles

If you happen to come across a bad edit you may:

• ask an editor you trust to review the work for his/her inputs
• you can rollback the change if you have credible information that the edit is indeed bad
• request that the necessary change be made on the article's talk page.

Whatever you do, please be very careful about the changes you make, for a rule of thumb, discuss issues you are not sure of first before making changes. CrossTempleJay  talk 21:28, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I hope you understand why I removed your addition about dogs detecting lung cancer. Firstly, the addition is not based of a source that is compatible with the requirements of our sources guideline. Secondly, it is not clear why anyone would use dogs for diagnosis if the sensitivity of the test is only 71%. This means that this modality would leave 29% of cancers undiagnosed.

It is certainly of great significance when you consider the fact that lung cancer is very difficult to diagnose early. Plus the 71% is pretty good for a non invasive quick early detection diagnosis. Such confidence intervals are pretty high.

Significance does not imply notability by reliable sources. I am not sure what refs you used, but perhaps these would help to prove it's notable:

• http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0112_060112_dog_cancer.html
• http://www.world-science.net/othernews/060106_dogsfrm.htm

That last one is an actual medical publication from the European Respiratory Journal and should help make such an inclusion meet notability guidelines. The second to last one is from Forbes, today. Hope that helps. Now... as for your other article, again, I would be interested in helping you make it inclusion worthy - but in my opinion, as it currently stands, it still is not.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Xurmo Technologies is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xurmo Technologies until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Your upload of the Xurmo Technologies' logo to Commons was signed [[User:Sandeep999|Xurmo Technologies]]. Either you represent Xurmo Technologies, in which case you apparently have an undeclared conflict of interest; or you do not, in which case you're apparently in breach of their copyright. Which is it? Or is there some other explanation? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 15:02, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
