PoutineNation, please correct instead of deleting.
As far as I can tell, there was nothing erroneous or misleading in the Motor Coordination page edits by Steven Hand. If you disagree, please correct the errors, and comment in the TALK section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Professorpotter (talk • contribs) 18:29, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Steve -- an image that you contributed got removed from that article by FairuseBot -- not sure why, you obviously have every right to contribute that image. I'm just letting you know in case the article isn't one that you are watching. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 17:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Professorpotter, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project. We encourage you to read our instructions for teachers and lecturers. It is strongly recommended that you add your class to our list of school and university projects.

Before your students create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not. Unencyclopedic articles are subject to deletion.
We highly recommend that you place {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay after your assignment is finished! Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:48, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Article space is not the right place for these!
Hey, Professorpotter, welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you've created a few pages about a course that you (presumably) teach. It's good that you're interested in Wikipedia as an educational source, but you should know that you're making these pages within the main article space of Wikipedia, which is reserved for the encyclopedia articles. I see that you've already found the Wikipedia:School and university projects page, but I'd encourage you to communicate with the Wikipedia Education Program; they're the ones best-equipped to help you with this. As for the pages you've created, after some thought, I'm going to move them into your userspace, instead of the main article space. But you should know that I'm not sure that's the right place for them either, so I don't think we should consider that a permanent solution. The Wikipedia Education Program can probably fill in more details; again, I strongly encourage you to contact them. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Just an update: I've moved all the pages into your userspace; you can see a list of their new locations here. If you're going to create new pages, please, at least for now, follow this naming scheme of putting "User:Professorpotter/" in front of the title; this will insure that new pages also get created in your userspace. Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:38, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for moving them
So far, I have just been creating pages by pushing the buttons on the School and University Projects page. Sorry they ended up in the Main Space. I will consult with them about how to locate them properly. Professorpotter (talk) 18:58, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- No worries, it happens. :) Good luck with your class! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:59, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Writ Keeper asked me to check that he had done the right thing here, and indeed he had. Rather than have these pages in your personal user space, you might prefer to have them at "Wikipedia:GeorgiaTech-IntroNeuro" etc: if so, leave a note below here and I will move them. I found an incoming link to one of them from your entry at WP:SUP which I updated, and took the liberty of tweaking it into the same format as other entries. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:24, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have sent an email to Jami Mathewson, who seems to be in charge of making new Course Pages for the US Education Program. I will follow her advice about how to locate them when I get it. The class has been a fantastic success. I have overbooked a 95 seat room for this Fall semester! My students have really enjoyed making good Wikipedia articles about neuroscience, and the word is spreading.
