Hello, Tahammond. 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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

I hope I am doing this right. I do not know what to talk about, other than I am here. Tahammond (talk) 18:24, 28 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I see that you have successfully created an account and enrolled on our Wikipedia course page. Send me a message like this and sign it with four tildes, which automatically signs your message and time-date stamps it. Then write something about yourself on your user page and add some links by putting double brackets before and after an article title (e.g., I like to swim).

First tasks

edit

Tahammond, You have completed some of the tasks.   Partly done You 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. It's very easy once you get going. Once you've edited your page your User:Tahammond link in signature will change from red to blue. Then go to my user talk page, find your section there, and write me a message that you've done this! Don't forget to sign with four tildes (~) to automatically create this nifty signature with a time-date stamp. Crtew (talk) 22:08, 7 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your user page content

edit

You inadvertently posted your profile on my user talk page, and so I moved it your own user page. Whatever page your on and click on edit is where your content is going to end up at. It is just like paper. When you write on a page, then that's where the pen on paper is going to stick! You can make wikilinks by placing two open and two close brackets around words that form an article title. Crtew (talk) 21:26, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hey! I am Casie and I reviewed your article. I am not sure if I am doing this right, but I think your article is really well written. The only criticism I would have is to elaborate a little bit more about what the media company your journalist founded does. Other than that I think it was really good! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctmathies (talkcontribs) 03:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
