Class Project?[edit]

Welcome[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. We encourage you to read our instructions for students. Your instructor may wish to add your class to our list of school and university projects and s/he may want to read these instructions for teachers. For more help about school projects using Wikipedia, see our classroom coordination project.

Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. 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.

You can place this text: {{EducationalAssignment}} on the discussion page of any articles you are working on.

While you are working on your article, sometimes it is good to work on it in userspace, instead of in mainspace. You can do this by creating a sandbox or subpage of your userpage such as User:Your Username/Article Title (replacing "Your Username" and the article title). Let me know if you need help.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your school assignment is finished! Katr67 (talk) 18:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Marvin H. Scilken. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Editing suggestions[edit]

If you do these two things, you won't have people mistaking your edits for vandalism, as in the message above. Katr67 (talk) 19:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries[edit]

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Page preview[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Katr67 (talk) 19:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
