Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Thinkpins, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

[edit]
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Gut–brain axis—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 04:35, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Gut-brain axis. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Spend more time familiarizing yourself with the style used by Wikipedia. Your font, links and bolding in section headings and use of casual language are inconsistent with existing style. Zefr (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Gut-brain axis
[edit]On my talk page, you said: Thank you for your comments on my gut-brain axis attempt. I would like to try again. I'm fascinated by the process so far, but I've made a few mistakes. Any further insights you care to share regarding corrections I need to make to my edits would be greatly appreciated! Specifically I would like to incorporate more images and rewrite the introduction.
- Reviewing WP:MOS will orient you to the style concerns, especially for section content organization and headers, and grammar (no contractions). Wikipedia does not use an "introduction", but rather a lead that summarizes the main points of the article, WP:LEAD. The images generally seem fine, but be ready for some editing of captions or refusal by other editors on the image relevance; support captions with a WP:MEDRS review.
- Concerning your draft: Dysfunction of the gut-brain axis has been linked to numerous disorders of the nervous system and gastrointestinal(GI) tract[2]. These disorders are known to manifest in a variety of different ways, including emotional and/or cognitive disturbances including autism[3], anxiety[4] and depression[4] as well as GI problems[5][6], such as irritable bowel syndrome. Gut-microbiome interactions are thought to be a key component of many gut-brain axis related disorders and it’s thought that future therapeutic initiatives may be targeted at manipulating the gut-brain-microbiota axis.[2] These 3 sentences are not supported by strong reviews, but rather by primary research, essays, speculation or incomplete research; see WP:MEDSCI and WP:MEDASSESS, left pyramid. It's too early in gut-brain research to indicate any certainty about causes of human disorders. Discussion of future events is unencyclopedic, WP:CRYSTAL. That will get you started.
