Welcome

edit

Hello, Baughnie23 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

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.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Chris Troutman (talk) 03:03, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Baughnie23! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

Advice

I removed some of the words of praise from the article on Emmons, and added a complete listing of his books. We try to write in a totally neutral tone. We also distinguish between Assistant, Associate, and Full professor.

The article could use some additional biographical information; I added his birthdate, which I found on OCLC. but we try to get information about where he was born and what high school he went to. If there are additional languages his books have been translated into, please add the titles. If you can find published reviews of his books, preferably in reliable academic journals, these too should be added. add themn as reference notes to the book listing.
