Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your userpage.Welcome edit
Hello, Cncarter1 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. We encourage you to read our instructions for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to participate in either the School and University WikiProject or the Global Education Program. The Global Education Program is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and offers official online and classroom support through the Ambassador Program.
Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk 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.
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! SarahStierch (talk) 16:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Assignment edit
Your assignment is to create and write an article on Raghida Dergham (living person), originally from Lebanon, who currently works in the United States as a journalist. Good luck, Crtew (talk) 15:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Raghida Dergham edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Raghida Dergham requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Where's it gone? edit
It's now at User:Cncarter1/Raghida Dergham. It's best to construct articles in user space. Keeps them safe from patrollers, except in cases of attack, spam or copyright violation. (Don't copy text from outside unless it's clearly licensed CC-BY-SA or so ancient as to be public domain. Just thought I'd mention it. Applies even if you wrote and own the other site or the book.) Good starting point for articles is to gather a collection of references WP:RS. Then write round them. Good luck. Peridon (talk) 16:14, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
- BTW Don't sign article posts. That's automatically done. Sign talk pages and discussions like AfD. Good advice is to make sure you're signed in when you edit. Too many IP address posts make us suspicious, especially if anything remotely connected to something that might well be the least bit controversial is involved. Feel free to pass this on to your colleagues (or don't if you don't like them...). Peridon (talk) 16:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Peridon has done a good job of moving your content into your user space. In addition, I have merged the sources Peridon mentioned from a previous version to the one on User:Cncarter1/Raghida Dergham. From now on you can go to your user page and click on the blue link for Raghida Dergham to move to your article. On Dergham's page, you'll see a link up top that will allow you to move back to your user page, too. Crtew (talk) 16:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Notability edit
At this time, write a notability statement. It's good that you're working ahead, but before you get further, let's see why she deserves to be in an encyclopedia. Crtew (talk) 16:27, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
WikiWomen's Collaborative edit
| WikiWomen Unite! | |

Hi Cncarter1! Women around the world who edit and contribute to Wikipedia are coming together to celebrate each other's work, support one another, and engage new women to also join in on the empowering experience of shaping the sum of all the world's knowledge - through the WikiWomen's Collaborative. As a WikiWoman, we'd love to have you involved! You can do this by:
We can't wait to have you involved, and feel free to drop by our meta page (under construction) to see how else you can get involved! |
Progress edit
You should be able to fill out more of the infobox at this point and your notability statement does not capture her importance for inclusion into the encyclopedia yet.
By now you should have taken the Wikipedia tutorial. After you do, begin writing your article.Crtew (talk) 18:52, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation edit
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you are more than welcome to continue submitting work to Articles for Creation.
- If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
- If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey! edit
Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!
Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:58, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Raghida Dergham (living person), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 180 days. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Raghida Dergham (living person) edit
Hello Cncarter1. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Raghida Dergham (living person)".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Raghida Dergham (living person)}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 11:01, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
