Welcome
editHello, SophiaLewman and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Wikishovel (talk) 13:58, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

editHello, SophiaLewman, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Time to Catch Up in Wikipedia, Sophia!!
editDear Sophia,
I see that you have finished 2/6 trainings so far.
When you go into Wikipedia next time, click on the button that says "View Full Timeline." This will let you see the entire series of Wikipedia trainings. Then go back to the first one and pick up the ones you are missing. If you did those trainings, but it is not showing up that way--it may be that you weren't signed in when you did them. Please do them again while you are signed in.
Also, I see that you have not made any edits, and you should try to get your hands dirty a little.
Please use the "Citation Hunt" tool to find a Wikipedia Article that is lacking a citation, then go find one and change the article with the new citation. I just did it, and it wasn't that hard (I promise!) We will be playing with Wikipedia this week, so try to get ahead of the game!
If you reply to me on this talk page before Feb 1, I will give you 5 bonus points on the Wikipedia project.
