Hello, Npebertz. 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! Npebertz, 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) 16:21, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Syrian Free Press

I added the wikilink to Syrian Free Press. Look at those sources. The section you are writing needed more specific examples. The direction is right, but add some body and real examples to make it less abstract. Crtew (talk) 19:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review

Mostly well put, I would just add a few examples of the citizen journalist in Syria and their contributions to their community and the world. Also tell of the fatality rate or injuries of being a citizen journalist and all that it cost them to report. Also have a main source then a secondary source to confirm what one article says is correct. (you don't have to cite it, just make sure the info is correct, didn't see anything that was wrong, just if you add more) Hldickerso (talk) 19:41, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

ljbriner peer review

You are doing good so far. Maybe you could give some examples of the kinds of stories that the citizen journalists reported on and what if any opposition or retaliation they might have faced because of it.
