If you encounter new editors who appear to be students in a class project, but they have not identified their class, you can place Template:Welcome student (or, where appropriate, Template:Welcome medical student) on their user talk pages. |

Bernardo Florencio Javalquinto-Lagos[edit]
According to this, the article Bernardo Florencio Javalquinto-Lagos was created as an "academic task". Is there someone who could reach out to this editor appropriately? — Brianhe (talk) 03:38, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Possible student having a hard day[edit]
I'm just a regular editor unfamiliar with Wikipedia's education program, but have come across what appears to be a student -- who may be in a small amount of distress at the moment. I have no idea how to tell if they're in a registered class. The student -- Lobzang412 -- is in danger of having their article Restructuring of power sytem (sic) deleted. Any non-admin teachers would not be able to see the contribution history. Is there anything special I can/should do to help this person? --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk)
- I'd suggest userifying or draftifying the article. At the very least, the page can be worked on with some peace rather than edited mercilessly as appropriate in mainspace. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Traveling Man: Students in a registered class should have an incoming link from their course page, so 'what links here' can help figure that out. (Students in Wiki Ed classes should have a template on their user page, or in the page history). That said, not everyone actually registers. Regardless, I'd favour userfying, since it's, maybe not a notable topic, but at least viable section within a page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:20, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks to both of you! --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 00:23, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Apparently a course from University of Notre Dame in Australia?[edit]

Both of these users are adding references with links to that university's library site and are editing about health (badly), and are completely nonresponsive. I have already reported one to WP:EWN and am about to report the other. Don't know if there is some course involved here. Jytdog (talk) 00:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
- No incoming links to their talk pages, so it doesn't look like they're registered on a course page of any sort. Hard to deduce from the topics what the course might be. One positive - it looks like there's a DOI in the url of their university proxy links, so their sources probably could be deduced. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Maybe someone can help microbiology course[edit]
