Welcome to Wikipedia!
Welcome! My name is TonyTheTiger, and I'm one of the online ambassadors, a group of experienced Wikipedians who offer mentorship to 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 can leave me a message on my user talk page. Have fun!

Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

I added this class pretty late and my first time of class was two weeks ago when I was assigned into the Copyleft group. My group mates were absent last week so I did not have a chance to discuss with them which articles we will decide to make contributions to on Wikipedia. If I were to complete this project by myself, I would like to contribute to some articles on Wikipedia that are related to my major, which is Economics and Statistics. To be more specific, I would like to make some contributions to the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) page by changing some information so that it is up to date. I have noticed that a lot of the things on the CFA page were based on last year’s information including the requirements, fees and curriculum. I would like to update those information so that they are as recent as possible using the CFA official website as the main source for reference. I would also specifically expand the information in the Curriculum section so that it is more comprehensive and thorough. I would do so by finding and adding missing curriculum or subjects, and add more hyperlinks to the subjects so that viewers of this CFA page will find it convenient to browse about a specific subject that they are interested in finding more information on. I will make adjustment to my proposal as I talk more about it with my group mates.

Email correspondence with online ambassador TonyTheTiger:

Antonio Vernon to me show details 1:29 AM (16 hours ago) If you are asking to be my mentee through the ambassador program, you sound like the right guy for me. Do you have editorial goals, such as raising the quality of the article so that it might pass a Good Article review or something. I think that page has potential to successfully reach such a goal if you are familiar with the good article process.

My name is Justin, a undergraduate that is currently studying Econ and Stats at the University of California, Berkeley. This semester I am taking an very interesting and wikipedia-based class called the Politics of Piracy. Our semester long project is to contribute to the Wikipedia community by editing and refining articles chosen by the students. And one of the requirements is to obtain some advice or simply comments from an online ambassador.

it would be really nice if you could give me some feedback on my idea so that i can make progress or adjustments and changes.

Thank you very much. Sincerely,

Chartered Financial Analyst is going to be a fine project. I have signed you on as one of my mentees and put a tag on the top of this page. Your aspirations for the page are fine. I will gladly advise you. I think you have a good understanding of how to improve the article. I look forward to watching you work.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please add some other parameters to the citation ({{cite web}}) that you presented. Among the most useful are date, accessdate, and either work or publication.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:50, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyfree[edit]

I don't know anything about copyfree. It is currently a redirect, which means that people think readers are searching for the term. I guess if you can distinguish it from the current article that is the redirect destination to provide the reader with better/more detailed content, that would be good.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Spacys[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Spacys requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Who needs names? (talk) 07:31, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
