Welcome!

Hello, Cmhardi1 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! --Geniac (talk) 00:56, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Email address

edit

Just to let you know, it might not be a good idea to put your email address on your user page. Please see Wikipedia:User pages#Personal and privacy-breaching material. People can still email you using Special:EmailUser/Cmhardi1 if they like and your address won't be made public information. --Geniac (talk) 03:40, 2 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the advice! I agree leaving an email address is less than ideal so will made changes to this section. I didn't know the Wikipedia email option was available so will add this in place of my external email address. Cmhardi1 (talk) 18:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
