Welcome Jmstalling!

Hello, Jmstalling. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't vandalize
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Success

[edit]

Jmstalling,

You're almost done! I added a bullet or two to your list simply by placing an asterick where the line starts for each bullet point. Once you do that you're done. Good work, Crtew (talk) 13:16, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Signing messages

[edit]

Jmstalling, Don't forget to sign your messages on talk pages. Once you are finished, all you have to do is type four tildes. At that point, Wikipedia automatically creates a signature with your name and time stamps the message and creates a link for Wikipedians to reply. Crtew (talk) 13:18, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

[edit]
Teahouse logo
Hello! Jmstalling, 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) 16:25, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assignment

[edit]

You have been assigned to write about Lebanon the changing role of female Arab journalists in the reporting the 2006 Lebanon War. You may want to start by making lists of what is new that can be documented and which women were reporting in that era, what did they do, and where are they today. Don't go into depth or detail on any one person. If they deserve more, an article would be created about them! Good Luck, Crtew (talk) 12:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

[edit]

I understand you lost most of your article. However, I recommend you change the wording of your notability a bit, so it doesn't sound so rigid. The information is good, but I can literally tell what requirement/question you were answering in each sentence, and make them work together. Instead of saying "the reason this was such of importance" (which sounds odd, anyway), the sentence you type should, in itself, tell what is important. It isn't bad. Just glance over what you have said--with a fresh mind--and see if it makes sense.

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!

[edit]

Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
