Welcome!

Hello, Lpeng18, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Handouts

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:39, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit notes

Please don't write edit notes like this. Edit notes are for describing what you did, and that's all. If you add a mass of content to Wikipedia that is a mess with respect to formatting (ignoring the fact that you have edited a live Wikipedia article) or violates a bunch of content policies, it will and should be reverted, en masse.

Students have a conflict of interest when they edit Wikipedia and I wish this were explained to students, to help you understand the context that classwork puts you in, when you come to Wikipedia. Editors with a conflict of interest are often aggressive, as their work here is driven by some external thing. Please be much less aggressive in trying to meet the goals of your class, which is external to Wikipedia. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 18:04, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

talk You are right that edits note should be what we did, but I did not mention the fact that this is a class, my intention for describing the size of the addition is for more specific and aimed comments can be made so that instead of massive reverts, specific sections could be taken out so that the acceptable portions still remain in the Wikipage. Our class is in fact graded not on the actual Wiki article. I hope that constructive comments and suggestions can be made. Thank you. Lpeng18 (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
