Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Marie Helweg-Larsen! Thank you for your contributions. I am Elektrik Shoos and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

A brief note

I noticed that it appears you're using Wikipedia as a tool for a class you're teaching, though I may be mistaken. If you are, I'd advise you to look at Wikipedia:School and university projects, which has helpful guidelines, tips and lists of editors who'd be willing to help you and your students with projects on Wikipedia. If you want to ask me anything, feel free to reply here, or leave me a note on my talk page. Good luck! elektrikSHOOS (talk) 19:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Elektrik Shoos. You are correct (see my userpage for details). Marie Helweg-Larsen (talk) 22:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

What school are you a professor at? How young are your students? Some of them seem to be rather clueless at this. Dream Focus 15:09, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Your note does not seem very welcoming to my students who are indeed new to Wikipedia. See my userpage for details. Marie Helweg-Larsen (talk) 22:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Dream Focus, not everyone knows how to wikicode and navigate the intricate policies that govern Wikipedia, and it's important to exercise patience with those newer to the project. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 00:23, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
