Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! My name is Alpha Quadrant, and I'm an Online Ambassador.
We are a group of experienced Wikipedians who offer assistance, support, and mentorship for newcomers.
You don't need to read anything; you can just jump right in and try to improve Wikipedia.
If you need help, you can talk with us right now, or you can leave me a message on my user talk page.
Have fun! Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 20:48, 15 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Editing help

Happy to assist There are a lot of resources for assistance if you want it and there are plenty of things that you can do on Wikipedia and related Wikimedia Foundation projects. It's a good way to help contribute to the world's knowledge. —Justin (koavf)TCM07:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

A userbox

edit

User:Koavf/Userboxes/Litbox You may have noticed this rectangle has been placed on your userpage:

 IUPUI coursepage for Adolescent Lit

This is called a userbox and there are a variety of them that you can add to your userpage to express your interests, political values, dietary preferences, etc. You are not required to have one and there is virtually no limit to how many you can have.

I have placed this on your userpage because your instructor has informed me that some of you have had difficulty remembering or finding your coursepage. This link will be right here on your userpage unless you decide to remove it (which you can do at any time.) If you ever forget how to get to your class resources, just click on your username up in the top-right of the screen and you'll be just one more click away.

If you need to reach me (one of your two Campus Ambassadors), my contact information is here: User:Koavf/CA.

Please remember to pace yourself and be aware that 90% of writing a good article is well-formed prose and citing your sources. Anything extraneous or technical is where I can be of assistance. (And if you need help editing your prose or finding sources, I can try to give a hand there as well.)

I hope you all have a good day and a productive semester. I'll see some of you this coming Wednesday and any of you if you wish to schedule a time to meet. —Justin (koavf)TCM16:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
