Hello, Hdfulk. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

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.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
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.

Editing links edit

Hdfulk, I saw your note on my talk. The problem you were having was that all the links were created as external links. For external sites like Flickr, you would use the single bracket and the URL. For internal links to Wikipedia, also known as Wikilinks, you would use the double brackets and the term for the article. For even more control over wikilinks and the word used in the link to move to a different target, see this Wikilinks article in help. Good job, Crtew (talk) 21:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse! edit

 
Hello! Hdfulk, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us!
I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch (talk) 16:22, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Assigned edit

Assigned Mexican journalists Guillermo Luna Varela, Gabriel Huge Córdoba, Esteban Rodríguez Rodríguez, Ana Irasema Becerra Jiménez (who did PR for a local newspaper), all of whom were killed in the same incident. Good luck, Crtew (talk) 05:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Notability and infobox edit

Hdfulk,

You've covered the basics of who, what, where, when, why, how many, but make sure you're specific and precise enough. For instance, we can highlight the Boca del Rio area in map and physical geography. Were all four journalists? What else is going on in Veracruz area that you can sum up more precisely? I'm curious is the investigation still ongoing? If so, we need to put a Template:Current on the page. Once you tweak it, you'll be ok. Then you'll revisit it before you submit.

Chelms6, Peer Review edit

Hey! Your article is coming along nicely and I understand you still have more to add on the bottom. Don't worry I'm not near done adding information either. Some thing you may want to consider is changing the information in parenthesis in the first section. You may want to add what that actually translates to in English instead of making a joke (although jokes are fun). The only other thing I would suggest is what Professor Tew talked about in class, work on relating the context of the situation; what's going on in the country, the world if applicable. Other than that, looking good Hdfulk. --Chelms6 (talk) 17:31, 23 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I promise it wasn't a joke! It was a literal note for myself, to find a more accurate translation than what I had. Thank you for your review. I'll start working on my article again soon. Hdfulk (talk) 15:03, 26 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

Thanks for the advice doll. I'll try and get this article up by today. Key word, try. Haha. Anyways I hope that you have a wonderful day (: Jmstalling (talk) 15:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

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) 01:59, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
