Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! My name is Cindamuse, and I'm an Online Ambassador. We are a group of experienced Wikipedians who offer assistance, support, and mentorship for newcomers. You don't need to read anything; you can just jump right in and try to improve Wikipedia. If you need help, you can talk with us right now, or you can leave me a message on my user talk page. Have fun! Cind.amuse (Cindy) 16:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sandbox edit

Hi! It looks like you have a lot of interesting information in your sand box article. Cant wait to see how it turns out! Laural17 (talk) 00:11, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply


Hey! I really like how your article is structured and feel that you already have a lot of good information! Very interesting. Can't wait to see the final article! Mtomao (talk) 00:53, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Talk versus user page edit

Hey - I saw you left a message for a classmate on their page. It seems you clicked "edit" on their user page. There are two tabs - go to the "discussion" tab, then click "new section" - that will create a new place to leave a message for the user. The "discussion" page is the "talk" page. If you need any help, feel free to contact me or your assigned ambassador (or just go to the chat room - big purple button under "help") Debaser42 (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Topics Please! edit

Just redoing my post because I didn't sign it right! Any good ideas for topics yet? Laural17 (talk) 16:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

These look like interesting ideas - start looking at academic research to see what you can find. However, think about the criteria - 1) Should be about a communicative event (although film festivals are, of course, communicative, what is it that you're looking to write about them?), and 2) The project shouldn't be an already existing article (Music Videos is a huge article already). Go look for some research to see what is out there, it should help you pare your ideas down. PS: Sorry I didn't get back to you super fast - if you need to get my attention leave a message for me on my talk page, as I'm not always checking everyone else's (replying to me in this section will alert me, but new topics don't) Debaser42 (talk) 01:10, 22 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Feedback edit

Hello Sabrina.roy. I reviewed your edits to Educational technology and found that you followed the best recommended practices of neutral presentation, and sourced inclusions. Following the example you set will undoubtedly prove beneficial in your future efforts. To improve your inclusion, rather than suggest a study has indicated—name the study in your prose. An example would be: "according to a study conducted by the group who conducted the study, state the results followed by a reference". I look forward to your future edits and commend that you did a good job with this example. My76Strat (talk) 03:59, 28 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the feedback! I will be sure to do include what you suggested in my future posts! Sabrina.roy (talk) 23:41, 28 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey! edit

Here is the link to the general ambassador program that I was telling you about the other day. If you are interested, the links for each type of ambassador lead to the process with which you could use to apply. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and if I do not respond within a few days, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 07:46, 10 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
