Coppermallow, ask me questions here. Please [ watch] this page.

Questions
Thank you! I really appreciate the adoption offer. I had a run of overnight calls and presentations so have been offline for a few weeks but should be back to daily or so editing. I will review things I have been working on and get some questions together for you. I am also unearthing some textbooks to help with references for some of the pages I have been amending. I also have a major page edit I want to undertake that I would really appreciate some advice on "Wilson Bruce Evans House" but will start a separate discussion sandbox for my work on that.

Also, I am updating/expanding articles in Portal:Medicine and Microbiology that they have requested be worked on. How do I indicate to that Portal (the powers that be) that the article has been expanded? Is there someone that just checks periodically or is there a way to indicate?

 * Most people periodically check that. If you want to, add around the article name to show that it's done.  M  C  10  |  Sign here!  18:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Assignment 1: What do you know?

 * Q: What do you know about Wikipedia? Policies, wikiformating, etc.  M C  10  |  Sign here!  18:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A: I know very little about wikipedia. I have been trying to take the tutorials one by one.  I do know that it is a sort of "For the people by the people" encyclopedia.  I know that anyone can edit items and that some vandalism occurs.  I know that all work must have citations to be acceptable.  Formatting wise, I am getting a little more clever as it comes to making changes and implementing thoughts.  I think I understand that all pictures must now be from the common wikipedia "picture pool" or my own original work rather than possible licensed material from online, etc. I did have some questions about page formatiing and set-up that I will ask once I get more involved in editing on a larger scale.  I know that objectivity and lack of subjectivity are the key principles (a lot of people post their original research as if it were fact rather than conjecture).

Assignment 2: Wiki Markup
Sorry I haven't updated this often; I will soon.

Create your sandbox by pressing "Create this page!" You will use this for testing purposes.

bold text creates bold text italics text creates italics text bold and italics text creates bold and italics text Interwiki link creates Interwiki link Wikipedia creates Wikipedia strikethrough text creates strikethrough text superscript text creates superscript text subscript text creates supscript text small text creates small text == Level 2 heading== (note: only works on a seperate line) creates: (I'm not showing this here because it will screw up the formatting, see here to see what it looks like) * bullets (note: this only works when it starts the line) creates:
 * bullets
 * 1) numbering (note: this only works when it starts the line) creates:
 * 2) numbering

Now go test this in your newly created sandbox!  M C  10  &#124;  Sign here!  23:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
