Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia.

My name is Tim Davenport, I write as "Carrite" at Wikipedia (WP), and I spend a good part of my time working on radical politics and labor history-type stuff. I'm consequently very interested in seeing Dr. Higbie's class contributions be successful in providing quality, lasting content to the encyclopedia. I have rounded up a number of colleagues at WP who have agreed to help answer any questions from the class as they arise.

If you have any questions about (a) Wikipedia policy doctrine with respect to Phrasing Neutrality, "Notability," Sourcing, etc. or (b) Wikipedia's somewhat idiosyncratic "markup code" that needs to be written in the edit windows to generate the text seen on page, please do not hesitate to ask me or any one of us. Similarly, in the unlikely event that you run into another user who behaves inexplicably or aggressively towards your contributions, do not hesitate to contact me or any one of us. We are here to help.
