Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! My name is Fetchcomms, and I'm one of the Online Ambassadors assisting students who are contributing to WikiProject United States Public Policy. We're excited to work with you, and we hope you'll stick around. If you haven't already, take a few minutes and check out the handy links below to start sharing your knowledge with the world.

Your class is part of a pilot project for bridging the gap between Wikipedia and the academic world; as you learn how to edit Wikipedia, we'll be learning how to better help newcomers. So it will be a fun learning experience all around! You'll find links below for leaving feedback or getting help. If you need anything further, feel free to contact me at my user talk page. And don't forget: have fun! /ƒETCH COMMS / 19:54, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Policydude! I am Cirt and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hi, this is Paul. --Pgp688 (talk) 01:24, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome, glad to have you on board. Feel free to contact me about any issues you have while going about the Wikipedia part of your class. I see you've got a sandbox going, and that's a great place to start. Initially, you should try to collect your sources, and build the article, or section, from there. Let me know how it goes, and I'll look in on your progress periodically. Best-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 23:35, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
