Hello, Aacoakley. 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.

Progress

edit

You still need to run the reflinks tool and replace the generated citations with the refrences (from open ref tag to close ref tag) on your page.

Once you have taken the Wikipedia tutorial, begin writing your article. Crtew (talk) 18:40, 9 October 2012 (UTC)Reply


Nick Bauhan peer review

edit

It looks like you have a very good start to this assignment. The sections that you have completed thus far are very informational. I would reccommend trying to find a little bit more personal information on your journalist. I would also reccommend reading through your sections and doing a little bit of sentence-reorganizing. But other than that, it seems like you are doing very well so far.

Chelsi Carter Peer Review

edit

Very good start, interesting story and sad that having a contrary opinion about management could have possibly led to his murder. That being said, the article mainly needs a little cleaning up, the spacing following punctuation and citations aren't consistent and this makes some sections hard to read with out distraction. Also, maybe add a Wiki-link to UNESCO instead of talking at length about it's mission, i feel it takes away from the subject.

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) 01:59, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
