- What I liked
The flow of the instructions and videos that aided in getting the messages across.
- What I didn't like
The length of the instructions.
- What was missing
Maybe more examples showing the dynamics of editing and publishing information.

- What I liked
content The training emphasized a systematic, gradual approach.
- What I didn't like
Mainly that I didn't find this earlier. I've gotten into editing, myself, through far more random access points.
- What was missing
As far as general introductions are concerned, I'd have to say "very little". While the presentation of of consensus-building was helpful overall and highly positive in terms of tone, I do believe there may be some value added by also acknowledging (howsoever briefly) some of the patently absurd consequences (e.g., "lamest edit wars", or "vandalism") which may ultimately result when editors occasionally do not, in fact, act in good faith.
- What was unnecessary
The four tildes already included at the bottom of this particular edit window -- but hey! That may well just be me. ;^) ;^)
Cheers!

- What I liked
... I liked that it was informative and gave videos to assist you in learning or better understanding how to us wiki. Both as a editor and as a person using the info to your advantage.
- What I didn't like
... How it was broken up. The information was long, although informative, it lacked my motivation to keep reading.
- What was missing
... Seeing how these pages were first established. Other peoples work and how they had contributed. More on understanding what a bad or unneeded page would look like.
- What was unnecessary

96.41.98.246 (talk)
[edit]- What I liked
...is that the orientation educated the viewers that despite what others say, wikipedia is credible. Wikipedia is not a site that ANYONE can post mindless information on, but designed with intent to educate and expand upon existing knowledge.
- What I didn't like
...while there was rules in which you must abide by, i would have enjoyed hearing personal stories about people that have had good and bad experiences as a wiki writer.
- What was missing
... I would like to know if peoples information is ever rejected, if so how they make the decision to remove it.

--199.184.238.213 (talk) 18:01, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
What I liked about this training is that it tells us exactly what to expect from Wikipedia and the assignment. For instance, we are all expecting that the information put into Wikipedia is accurate, reliable, valid, non-biased, and referenced.
- What I didn't like
What I didn't like is that it only gives us very little direction when it comes to searching for articles that need revising. They need to be more specific in that area so that we know which articles need to be edited and which ones do not need editing.
- What was missing
The orientation was missing more examples of articles that need to be edited, this is necessary so that we can see for ourselves which areas of a specific article need to be checked. Also, the orientation does not tells us where we can look for valid information to edit the articles.
- What was unnecessary
It was unnecessary to watch videos on making bold and italic letters because it is much more necessary to have videos teaching us how to spot damaged articles that need revising.
--Heidi165 (talk) 19:44, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

--DoktorGil (talk) 20:18, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
- The training is pretty exhaustive and gives a good preview of how to work with Wikipedia. The instructions and guidelines are concise and specific, plus the tone is welcoming and encouraging, which is very appreciated much by people who are new to this kind of projects.
...
- What I didn't like
- It is a lot of information to take in at once, and it does feel overwhelming. The sandbox in particular looks like it is very confusing to work with, but I suppose it is something that must be learned with practice.
...
- What was missing
- I have not worked with Wikipedia before, so I don't think I can make a fair judgement regarding any missing content in the tutorials.
...
- What was unnecessary
- All of the information provided by the training looks useful, so I do not think any of it was unnecessary.

- What I liked
...I enjoyed the brief but useful videos since I consider myself a visual learner. Another part I enjoyed was the step by step tutorials given, especially in the third module. Lastly, I enjoyed the positive attitude reinforced throughout the whole training. It makes me look forward to working on this project.
- What I didn't like
...Although there was not much I can recall not liking, I do feel that some parts of the fourth module were rushed, and filled with links that take you out of the module experience. There are some I actually opted to miss because I felt that opening them would make me miss something in the training. I am hoping it will be easier to go back and find those links.
- What was missing
...I think a bit more "hands-on visuals" for access on communicating with others would do great. The part where the training focuses on the communication with other Wikipedians is missing videos similar to those included on the editing part of the third module.
- What was unnecessary
...Although I understand the reasoning behind enforcing the assuming good faith rule, I do think it was a bit overstated by the fourth time I came across it.

--Jennyxwen (talk) 23:28, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
... Being a new user to Wikipedia, the student training was helpful to give me some general knowledge on how to use the website. I was very surprised to see how much this website has to do on it.
- What I didn't like
...The basic information was provided on how to navigate around the website but it is hard to summarize so much information. It is going to need a more hands on approach to really grasp how to use Wikipedia.
- What was missing
...It did not discuss how to navigate on another Wikipedians site that has a lot of information on it.
- What was unnecessary
...The quotes from different individuals when discussing plagiarism.

... I thought that the video on citations was a little shaky. The man was saying one thing and the text he was actually typing was very different, so when I hit save page, the results did not add up.

--Haschorr (talk) 22:44, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
I appreciated the video animations that broke down the different parts of Wikipedia into manageable steps.
- What I didn't like
Some of the wording was confusing. Usually the videos clarified what was written, but for those subsections that did not have videos it was more difficult to understand the different steps of editing.
- What was missing
After editing and saving in the sandbox, text appears as one long line across the browser. It is unclear whether spacing between lines must be manually entered or if this is just a feature of the sandbox.
- What was unnecessary
It did not make sense that early in the training process it asked us to make an account, then later on it provided the videos about choosing a username.
--CK3501 (talk) 23:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
...I liked that there were a lot of helpful points. I had no idea writing a Wikipedia article could be so complex.

...The first few videos worked on my computer, but after that I constantly had to go to Youtube and press the back button.

[edit]- What I liked
...I liked being able to have the videos to help guide me with my Wiki page. I also like having the last module to help me pick a topic for my first page. I think it is great to show that Wikipedia is an interactive community rather than just feeling alone. I enjoyed the last page of the Orientation to help with other resources which might be needed for this project.
- What I didn't like
...I thought that module three was long. I felt like module four could have been before module three to have a better understanding of how to pick a page before knowing how to edit.

I enjoyed the videos on some of the tutorial pages, especially the videos on how to edit a page. The videos helped me to understand how to edit properly in Wikipedia because I have never done any coding.
- What I didn't like
The tutorial was well organized and easy to follow; there was nothing that I did not like.
- What was missing
Maybe the tutorial could include a more extensive section on the talk pages because the discussions seem very important on Wikipedia and the means of communication between editors. It would make the talk page's importance more clear.

[edit]- What I liked
...I liked knowing how open Wikipedia is. Before this I had no idea that anyone could edit and add information into this encyclopedia.
- What I didn't like
...It was informative but the orientation could have been shorter.
- What was missing
...Some examples of how people were editing. Like maybe show an actual article getting edited. Then being edited by someone else.
- What was unnecessary
...There was some redundant information. Some of the stuff could be said more concisely.
--152.42.8.66 (talk) 17:08, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
The modules were all easy to read and concise.
- What I didn't like
The three modules were very long and it took a lot of time to read.
- What was missing
I think that some visuals with "How To" step by step directions would have been beneficial.
- What was unnecessary
The pages with one fact on a page wasn't efficient. It could have been added to a slide with more info!

I liked that it was very quick, but still went over everything a new user needs to know. Well done.

The videos were somewhat annoying, but necessary. Having a text version of the videos next to it would be nice.

Nothing. If anything, I would have liked more in-depth tutorials on editing, but those are out there in the extensive Wiki community, so it's all good.

--Mkhare92 (talk) 03:12, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
Concise nature of every step was great. Learning a whole system of light coding/tagging can be a deterrent, but this was very short and accessible.
- What I didn't like
Some of the videos along with the pages seemed superfluous. For example, when explaining how to bold something, a simple screen cap of the "B" button on articles and maybe a short, in-text example would have sufficed.
- What was missing
I would have liked a HUD breakdown, for lack of a better term. A simple screenshot with arrows to important tabs and links, labeling them. This would help better understand when a tutorial makes reference to, say, the Sandbox but a user might not have noticed it at the top right corner. Also maybe a page on navigating another user's page.
- What was unnecessary
The general opening page on community wasn't very useful. Saying that there is a website community doesn't do much unless you explain how to reach, contact, view, and dialogue with (in formats other than the Talk pages) other users.

It was kind of hard to load the modules with video on my internet connection, but that's probably just on my end.
- What was missing
I think this was a really good introduction to editing Wikipedia. I bookmarked the recommended list of editing tips, but I think it would have been nice to have a more hands-on demonstration of how to use the special editing system on this site.

...
- What I didn't like
- The section about editing and accepting other peoples whole-scale edits was a bit odd to me. I am not used to someone being able to take a page I've created and completely rework the entire thing. I wish that there was a way to accept or reject changes to a page you've created, particularly if it has been rated as a Featured Article. Although I understand that multiple editing is a main feature of Wikipedia.

I would like to create a number of index pages to enable people to more easily locate the articles they are looking for. It's not always obvious what you should enter into the search bar. For instance if I wanted to find out who won the medals in table tennis at the 1988 Olympics it doesn't occur to me straight away that I should enter "Table tennis at the 1988 summer olympics" which in any case is a bit long. I would prefer to enter something like "Olympic results" which would then lead me to an index page full of links and from there I would click on the link which would take me to the required page. I hope you think this would be a good idea. This index article would by its nature not require any references, although there would be the occasional note to explain any apparent anomalies. I would appreciate your comments; I have already started work on an index page covering all summer and winter olympics in the modern era. If you feel that this kind of page is unnecessary please let me know so that I don't waste a lot of time on something that is not needed. Although I suppose people would soon let me know if they thought it was a superfluous page. Regards.

--Christina.co (talk) 05:57, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
...I enjoyed the set-up of the training in that it was interesting, detailed, and informative without feeling unnecessary or like a burden - the language was clear and concise, and the inclusion of links to other pages/videos enhanced the reader's understanding of those basic topics. The inclusion of those resources also allows individuals to seek further information on topics they may find particularly important or useful to their specific task without clogging up the basic training.
- What I didn't like
...The pillars stress that authors shouldn't agonize about making mistakes - while that is true to an extent in terms of creating a comfort level for authors, it is important for information to be accurate, so I wonder if that statement should be re-phrased in order to keep the standards high.
- What was missing
...The information regarding the transition from the sandbox to the page was a bit difficult to understand at first and took a couple of readings - perhaps having a clearer example of something moving forward from the sandbox would give the reader an easier method of understanding that process.
- What was unnecessary
...I thought everything was an important component to the training module and effectively summarized or explained tactics for success - well done!

I liked the video tutorials. They were extremely helpful.
- What I didn't like
This may have been redundant for those that have been Wikipedia users before.
- What was missing
Allowing an initial experience level to be gauged and to cater the tutorial to level of experience would have been like.
- What was unnecessary
All necessary for beginners. Some unnecessary for experienced users.

- What I didn't like
...is that as you create a Wikipedia page there are so many ways in which you have to remember to use a symbol for this and a symbol for that. Just a little to much.
- What was missing
...a guide in which you can print out for the symbols in which you can use when creating a Wikipedia page

- What I liked: I thought the modules were very thorough in providing the necessary information to create a successful and informative article.
...
- What I didn't like: It dragged on for a bit, but all the technological explanations were needed to get a clear understand of the whole Wikipedia editing and creating articles.
...
- What was missing: I didn't think anything was missing. Maybe adding a more personable tutorial session will make the modules go by a little less slow. The content, however,should stay the same as it was essential to correctly complete the assignment.
...
- What was unnecessary: I thought it was all necessary. Because I had never even thought of editing or creating my own article on the site, everything that was shared in the tutorials and modules were, as stated above, essential to my understanding of the process. Thank goodness there is this "orientation" to the site, I feel without it I would have been completely lost in navigating the site and might have unintentionally done something in violation of the Wiki core rules, etc.

--Coreyr1991 (talk) 01:11, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- What I liked
...I like the basic computing process (ie. explanation on how to link and make the text bold). The videos are helpful for understanding how to edit on Wikipedia. A visual is always effective to learn how to do something.
- What I didn't like
...It was a bit too long. But what other tutorial isn't?
- What was missing
...I feel there was enough information to cover everything essentially for the foundation of using Wikipedia.
- What was unnecessary
...Some of the "dialogues" and pictures were kind of pointless, as those who want to edit or create pages on Wikipedia should already understand the basis and more about plagiarism and copyrights.

Personally, the Wikipedia community page feels a bit unnecessary. I understand that the page explained what Wikipedia community really is, but people who want to join any community should study about the community before joining. --Pat8116 (talk) 13:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- I thought the training was clear, and well organized.

- What I liked
