Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Andrew and I am an Online Ambassador for your class! Our records have you listed as a student in this class.

I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you on your project this term! Before you get started, you may want to aquaint yourself with Wikipedia.

I'd like to encourage you to read the United States Education Program's instructions for students. Your class is supported by either Online Ambassadors, or both Online and On-Campus Ambassadors. Our job is to help you become familiar with Wikipedia, and help you as you work on your article this term. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.

To help you get acquainted with Wikipedia, you should have a look at:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

A few other things you need to know:
 * When ever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.


 * 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.


 * It is highly recommended that you place this text:  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 should be treated accordingly.

If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...
 * through my Talk Page here on Wikipedia.
 * by emailing me using this page.
 * by visiting me in the Live Chat Classroom Channel or Public Help Channel.

When asking for help, please remember...
 * Tell me that you are a student in . (I will prioritize responding to students/instructors in classes I'm working with).
 * Provide me a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
 * Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
 * If you are posting on my talk page, Always sign your post with ~ . (This is important so that I know who to reply to!)
 * Sometimes I am busy and unable to reply quickly, but I will reply as soon as possible (usually same day, but check my User page to make sure).

I hope you and your class enjoy editing here and will be Wikipedians long after this term! Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!
