Talk Page Practice LAGCC Fall'15 ENG103

Hi Adam. Very nice of you to help us in our research class. I too am practicing at leaving and retrieving messages on others' Talk page. Please let me know if something is not right. --Jlefish (talk) 00:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello

Hello I am part of Dr.X's English class and she told us to message you to learn how to message (like this?) Person316 (talk) 19:01, 28 September 2015 (UTC) Person316

• Hi Person316. You've almost got it! You'll see that messages left on talk pages include a signature (looks like "Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2015 (UTC)"). This is generated by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post (or clicking the signature button on the edit toolbar. This lets people know who left the message and when. It also provides a link to your talk page so they can leave a message there if they want. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

• Exactly like that. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:07, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Adam

Hi Adam: I wrote to you yesterday, but noticed you said hello to others but not me. Perhaps I did something wrong? I am rewriting my comment here... Hi Adam.

Hi Adam

This is Sylwia glad you are helping us this semester.

• Hi, Sylster. I moved your post from the top of my talk page to down near the bottom. Most talk pages follow that order (new posts go on the bottom). You can do that automatically on any talk page by clicking "new section" instead of "edit" when you add a new post. Also you can sign your talk page posts with ~~~~ (or the signature button at the top of the editor) and it will show your username, talk page and when you left the message. Thanks, Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:56, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Hey Adam, appreciate your help with the summary.

Sincerely Opal (BelieveYouCan)

• Hi, BelieveYouCan. Not a problem. Let me know if you need help with anything else. Also you can sign your talk page posts with ~~~~ (or the signature button at the top of the editor) and it will show your username, talk page and when you left the message.

Hello Adam

My name is James and I'm taking English 103 and I'm looking forward to meeting and working with you this semester as well.Celavie97 (talk) 10:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

• Hi, Celavie97. I've re-formatted your message a bit. Wikipedia treats lines that start with "=" signs and end with them as a special markup to create sections on a page. That means you need at least one new-line after the heading in order for the parse to be able to understand it. I look forward to working with you this semester. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:52, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

My ENG 102 page is down?

Hey Adam-- I am starting my Wikipedia project with my ENG 102 students next week, but the course page is down. Are you the right person ask about that? HERE HullIntegrity^\ talk / 14:09, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

• Hi HullIntegrity. That looks down from here, but there is also this dashboard page which was created last month (no timeline info). Sage (Wiki Ed) may be able to find out why the former isn't working, unless you are actually looking for the page I linked. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:21, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
  • I may just re-link everything from my end. It seems the site mirrored for some reason. Perhaps that is my bad for trying to change the page to my needs. Do the pages auto-regenerate now? I am an expert in breaking things (which is why I was a play-tester for LoTRO and a few less notable others). Thanks for checking. If nothing else happens, I will devise a work-around. HullIntegrity^\ talk / 17:30, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
    • The wikipedia page will mirror what is on dashboard.wikiedu.org, and if you make a change on wiki, then on the dashboard, the dashboard change will blow away the wiki change. They're not (to the best of my knowledge) auto-regenerating or syncing, you'd need to make an edit on the dashboard to trigger the page to update on wiki (a null edit will do). However, Sage will have more info and expertise, so they may give you a better answer. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello

Hey Adam, my name is Nicholas Salter, and I am in currently working on the Wikipedia page for Bud Browne. I am trying to cite the same source twice but every time I try to do this, it adds the source as an additional source. Can you inform me on how to cite an article that has already been cited on the page?

Thanks, Nicholas Salter

Hi Nrs51. I've made some changes to your article. If you're using the visual editor, you can make multiple uses of the same reference this way. If you're using the wiki-text editor (what you get when clicking "edit source") you can re-use a reference by naming it <ref name = "ABC">Reference info here</ref>. When you want to re-use a named reference, you can add in <ref name = "ABC"/>. Note it's a single tag and the closing "/" is placed inside the tag. Hope this helps.
