Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse! edit

 
Hello! Jmcantner, 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) 16:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

How do I know if someone has written an article on my person? edit

Articles have already been written about Mika Yamamoto and Marie Colvin. If you to to the page List of journalists killed during the Syrian civil war, the ones in red are not taken. All the blue ones means the link goes to a target article. You can also put names in search. However, one problem is that English has a horrible spelling issue (fish or phish) and foreign names are often expressed in English in several variation. Another problem is the Wikipedia search is unforgiving. Crtew (talk) 04:48, 5 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Assignment edit

Expand on the Battle of Mogadishu (1993)#Attack on safe house and the murder of Dan Eldon, Hos Maina, Hansi Kraus and Anthony Macharia and the lone survivor Mohammed Shaffi. Movie rights have been purchased to make a biopic of Eldon.

Gkstyliani, Peer Review edit

Good information, maybe just add some more. Also it said '[needs citation]' in a few spots so just fill those in. Otherwise, you had the rubric covered pretty well, just maybe fill up some more space. Gkstyliani (talk) 00:27, 23 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) 01:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
