Hello! edit

Welcome to Wikipedia!
 
 

Hello, Dnmppolitico, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Andrew and I am an Online Ambassador for your Women and American Politics class! Our records have you listed as a student in this class.

I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you on your project this term! Before you get started, you may want to aquaint yourself with Wikipedia.

I'd like to encourage you to read the Wikipedia:United States Education Program's instructions for students. Your class is supported by either Online Ambassadors, or both Online and On-Campus Ambassadors. Our job is to help you become familiar with Wikipedia, and help you as you work on your article this term. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.


To help you get acquainted with Wikipedia, you should have a look at:


A few other things you need to know:

  • When ever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.
  • 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.


If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...


When asking for help, please remember...

  • Tell me that you are a student in Women and American Politics. (I will prioritize responding to students/instructors in classes I'm working with).
  • Provide me a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
  • Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
  • If you are posting on my talk page, Always sign your post with ~~~~. (This is important so that I know who to reply to!)
  • Sometimes I am busy and unable to reply quickly, but I will reply as soon as possible (usually same day, but check my User page to make sure).


I hope you and your class enjoy editing here and will be Wikipedians long after this term! Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! AndrewN talk 01:28, 6 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Comment: It looks like you're working on setting up your course page. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask! Feel free to post on my talk page or email me. I've fixed the entry on the course list while handling some other maintenance. I would appreciate if you could touch base with me to let me know how far along your class is, and if you have any campus ambassadors you are working with. All my contact information is in the lovely blue box above. Welcome to Wikipedia! AndrewN talk 01:28, 6 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your Class Page edit

Hello, I've taken some time to finish setting up your class page. I noticed that this week is when your students are supposed to create an account and begin signing up on your page, so I figured I'd finish stepping through the setup so that the page would be ready when your students were ready.. It looked like your timeline was still filled with the default information, and the grading rubric is also still filled with default information. I took the liberty of placing these in tables to clean up the look of the page, and make it easier for your students to find information, but tables are not the easiest to edit (especially if you are new). I tried to keep the timeline table as easy to follow as I could, but if you need help, don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Best of luck with your class!

Women and American Politics edit

This course is completed now, right? Let me know if you're interesting in planning any further wiki-courses at Rutgers, I'd be glad to help find you help on a local basis.--Pharos (talk) 15:44, 19 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
