User talk:Mrjohnson007
Hello, Mrjohnson007, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Bucknell's History of Ecology course. My job here is to help you to work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user.
You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me. I will usually respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Wikipedia's Simplified Manual of Style
- Basic Wikipedia Markup
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Once again, if you need help with any aspect of Wikipedia, please just ask; it's what I'm here for. Enjoy your course! Yunshui 雲水 08:48, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Nice work!

You've learned how to use basic wikicode in your sandbox. You can always return there to experiment more. |

Reminders for class on Tuesday, 2/4
[edit]Hi Ryan! A quick note to check in and share some reminders. First, I love the "double o 7" aspect of your username! How have the Wiki readings been going? Do you have any questions about them? We will be evaluating Alexander von Humbold'ts Wikipedia page on Tuesday in discussion, so be sure to review the Evaluating Wikipedia article quality brochure. Also, remember that you have two other things due Tuesday: creating a User Page (see mine for an example) and introducing yourself to an online ambassador or another student through their Talk Pages. Let me know if you have any questions! --Enstandrew (talk) 18:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Email alerts from posts on Talk page?
[edit]Hi Ryan! I'm testing out another post on your talk page to see if you get an email alert from it. I think you should, but perhaps there is some setting you need to turn on in order to do so. User:ragesoss might be able to help clarify this, too. --Enstandrew (talk) 15:19, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Enstandrew: Mrjohnson007 should get an email alert as long as he has an email set in his user account, but it appears that he does not. (If a user has email enabled, you will be able to find a link to email them in the sidebar, when you are on their userpage or talk page.) If you have email enabled, then you can control which types of events do or do not send you email, by going to Preferences > Notifications.--ragesoss (talk) 18:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
