Good intro

Rmwheatley, You've written a good intro for yourself to the Wikipedia community. Two things you should experiment with:

1. Internal vs External links. You attempted to make an external link to USI by copying the Wikipedia URL into the page. However, it's easier and best to just place two brackets before an after an article term to create an internal Wikipedia link, which is known as a wikilink. You can create an external link like you did with the URL. For instance, paste a youtube.com link in Wikipedia and put single brackets around it and you've got an external link.
2. Try to use bullets. Most of the lists, like interests, are often unordered, and so you can place an asterick before the item. Or use the editing menu above when you are in edit mode and click "Advanced" for different kinds of bullets.

You are off to a good start! Have fun, Crtew (talk) 04:10, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Usirjkelly peer review

1.Great setup! Your article was very detailed and gave useful non trivial information about your journalist. It's really starting to look like a published wikipedia article. 2. I would add to the impact section. It would be interesting to hear about this particular journalists work and how they impacted field reporting in the area. Over all, it was very well done.--Usirjkelly (talk) 21:48, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Usirjelly
