Welcome
[edit]Hello, Jessicadm15 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you 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.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{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 aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Chris Troutman (talk) 21:48, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jessicadm15! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Come join other new editors at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a space where new editors can get help from other new editors. These editors have also just begun editing Wikipedia; they may have had similar experiences as you. Come share your experiences, ask questions, and get advice from your peers. I hope to see you there! Writ Keeper (I'm a Teahouse host) This message was delivered automatically by your robot friend, HostBot (talk) 16:19, 15 December 2014 (UTC) |
Great Work!
[edit]Hi, I'm Eryk from the Wiki Education Foundation. I happened to notice the really great work you did on your article on the streetcar strikes! I wondered if you'd be interested in sharing some of your experiences working on it for our blog? We could use your real name or your Wikipedia username. We find students like to participate since it gives them a pretty positive search result related to the field they're studying in. If you have a minute, you can drop me an e-mail at eryk@wikiedu.org, mention your username and what course you were in, and answer any of the following questions, and I'd be excited to get some attention directed toward your good work.
- What are your career/academic goals?
- Did you have any experience with Wikipedia before the class started? What did you think of Wikipedia before you started work on this assignment?
- How did you find the process of writing a Wikipedia article, compared to if you had written a traditional paper on the topic?
- Do you think you learned more about labor strikes and labor as a result of writing for Wikipedia?
- Do you think you'll come back to Wikipedia now that the course is finished?
Thanks so much for your time! Eryk (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:02, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
