Welcome from an Online Ambassador

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Welcome! My name is UpstateNYer, 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. Welcome! 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! upstateNYer 04:51, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for liking my name. It's corny, but fun. I hope this project is going good for you so far. Have a great day. Wikiwriter24 (talk) 16:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Your first article

Hello! Hope you are having a good day. If you need help on your first article, or if you have questions like What to write? or How to write?, or anything else, please contact me. If you are comfortable with E-mail or IRC, or Wikipedia talk, please let me know. As for me, I prefer Wikipedia Talk, but I'm open to email or IRC as well. Regards, TheMike •^{Wassup doc?} 16:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
