Welcome from an Online Ambassador

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Welcome! My name is UpstateNYer, and I'm one of the Online Ambassadors assisting students who are contributing to WikiProject United States Public Policy. We're excited to work with you, and we hope you'll stick around. If you haven't already, take a few minutes and check out the handy links below to start sharing your knowledge with the world. Welcome! Your class is part of a pilot project for bridging the gap between Wikipedia and the academic world; as you learn how to edit Wikipedia, we'll be learning how to better help newcomers. So it will be a fun learning experience all around! You'll find links below for leaving feedback or getting help. If you need anything further, feel free to contact me at my user talk page. And don't forget: have fun! upstateNYer 05:29, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Your Sandboxes

Hey folks. This is a broadcast message being sent to everyone on Prof Weil's course that have added themselves to his course page on Wikipedia. I'll be using this in order to communicate with you all. In this message I would like to request that you let me know the location of your sandbox. If you are working in a group please let me know whose sandbox you'll be using for your proto-articles so I can add them to my watchlist. If you have any questions please feel free to bug me either on Wikipedia or in the IRC help channel. Sincerely, EdwardsBot (talk) 02:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Introduction paragraphs in your articles

Dear Students, please a look at the introduction of your articles and have a read of WP:LEDE. I noticed some of the articles did not have the most well developed introduction paragraphs. Also, please remember to stick to a neutral point of view. This means no prescriptions and no suggestions. Have a look at WP:NPOV for more information. Thanks!

We're #1 !!!

Dear students- we're number 1 on the Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Policy/Leaderboard. This is awesome and extremely impressive! Way to go!! --Basket of Puppies (talk) 15:40, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution

Dear Jgrandfield. I just wanted to thank you for your recent contribution to the Gun violence and gun control in Texas article that Hmring and myself are working on. We will follow your recommendations and welcome you to please make any other comments or edits to it. We really appreciate it!

Thanks again! --Realpolitikz (talk) 01:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
