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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.First tasks
editKjdisching, You have completed most of the tasks. Partly done You still need to edit your user page and add some wikilinks to articles in Wikipedia, such as University of Southern Indiana. The tutorial, or Wikipedia:Training/For_students, should help you get started. Once you've edited your page your User:Kjdisching link in signature will change from red to blue.

LadyofShalott
editI've asked User:LadyofShalott, our new Wikipedia ambassador, to help you with the question you left me on my user page. She should be getting back with you shortly. While Wikipedia can be confusing at first, it's mostly because it's new and not because it's hard. And I'm sure you're going to do a great job once you get a bit more oriented!

Peer Review
editHi. I chose your article (it was located above mine) to read for the peer review. I only have a few suggestions.
The information that you have is really good, but at the beginning it seems a little repetitive. For example, the sentence you have at the very beginning is the same as the first sentence in the personal section. The first sentence in the career section seems reads almost the same as well. Maybe find a way to reword them so they stay interesting.
Under the Death section, I noticed a typo where it says "Traces of blood where..." It should be *were, not where. Also, I noticed the footnoting reference numbers were not very consistent. Sometimes they would be located before the period and other times after the period. There was also a spot in the last sentence of the Death section where the reference number was in the middle of the sentence. I think the proper way of doing this is by placing the numbers after the period.
Under the Impact section, you say that "In Mexico, a new law was passed this May.." You should put when the law was actually passed, like the month and year, rather than just saying 'this May' because that would change as time goes by. Someone who would be reading this article two years from now would be thinking of the wrong year.
I also felt you could add some links by placing the double brackets before and after certain words, such as people's names, organizations, or places.
Overall I think you have done well with adding as much information as you could for a person who maybe did not receive a lot of press after their death other than the same information. Good job --Lllauderda (talk) 20:22, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
