 Welcome Sdhuskins!
Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 47,445,581 users!
Hello, Sdhuskins. 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.

Wikilinks edit

Sdhuskins, you can make links by putting two brackets before and after the target term. Look at how I made "Advertising" a link on your user page. You can do this for your other interests as well. Learn more at "Help:Link" (put that into search) to gain more control over this function! Crtew (talk) 05:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Valentín Valdés Espinosa edit

Sdhuskins, There is already an article about Valentín Valdés Espinosa. Maybe there is somebody else you would be interested in? Crtew (talk) 23:29, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

What about Marco Antonio Ávila García? edit

Marco Antonio Ávila García worked for the El Regional de Sonora and El Diario de Sonora and was killed in May 2012. There are plenty of references on Ávila (Note: The reference links don't work in user talk but the text below outside of talk would take you to the articles. Click on edit to see the URLs.):

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse! edit

 
Hello! Sdhuskins, 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) 16:17, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Notability and Infobox edit

For notability, why don't you look at what has happened closer to his death to other journalists as well as give this long term approach. Map some of these incidents out. Also look at the amount of violence in this area of Mexico in relationship to other areas. I'll make a note to return to the notability statement later. Fill out some of the points in the infobox that I noted with parentheses and then delete my comments. Crtew (talk) 20:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC) In terms of the long-term, you may want to actually focus on the issue of impunity. The Argentina Independent source has information on impunity.

Peer Review edit

User Sdhuskins peer review by User Ldfeller:

1. Tell the person what you liked the most and what they're doing well.

User #6 had a lot of good information, and I could not really find any errors in grammar or spelling.

2. Then give them solid suggestions about what they can do to improve their article.

My suggestion for User 6 would be that they work on the flow of their article. I noticed that most of the sentences are kind of choppy but, other than that, I think they’re on the right track!
