Hello! Nasmem,
you are invited to the
Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us!

I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch ( talk) 19:50, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Your edits and your user name would suggest that you are connected with the National Academy of Science. If you are, please refrain from adding NAS links to articles as you have a conflict of interest.-- ukexpat ( talk) 18:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. I just wanted to provide a bit of advice: if you work for NAS I'd avoid adding links to articles with a username like this. It's pretty obvious :) Wikipedia has a strict policy against conflict of interest, and usernames being associated with organizations. Also, be sure to double check that the links you are adding aren't already cited in the article. If they are listed in the reference section, then there is no need to add them to the external link section. Thanks! SarahStierch ( talk) 19:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Nasmem, I've create at {{ Biographical Memoirs}} template for you. That should make it a bit easier to keep those links in a consistent format or to update the URL for all the links at once should it ever change in the future. I hope these two [1] [2] diffs should give you an idea of how to use the template to link to the Biographical Memoirs. Cheers, — Ruud 21:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Something that might be a good idea is if you file a request to have your username changed, so that it represents you specifically, and not the NAS. After all, at some point in the future, you and the NAS may part ways for whatever reason; if the username is "Bob the Science Historian" or whatever, you'll be able to continue using it.
Do keep the comment on the user page that says you work at NAS and manage the biographies, though. Full disclosure and all. DS ( talk) 15:59, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
