Hello Varun Hello,

My name's Linnea Ng. I can give you some help in understanding how to get work done in Wikipedia.

I am an undergraduate student at Davidson College. I edited Wikipedia articles last semester as part of a course called cognitive psychology. I worked on the article "global precedence" and I was able to nominate my article for a "Did you know" recognition. I found the assignment effective in helping me learn about the topic of the article I edited, the culture and norms of Wikipedia, and writing articles from a neutral point of view. I have learned some valuable lessons while completing my assignment and I will be glad to offer advice based on what I learned.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to help you work through them. I look forward to working with you. Click here to reply InstructorCommentBot (talk) 01:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC) on behalf of Linnea Ng (talk)

Hi Varun,

Your article looks like it's coming along. I have a few suggestions. I would make sure to cite everything. For example, you should cite the quotes that you have in your article. Also, I would make sure that the image on your page has the proper copyright information provided or it will be removed. I know for the Wikipedia article I worked on, I ended up having to create my own images to ensure that they would not be copyrighted.

As far as the status of a "good" article or an article elected to "did you know" I would direct you to the information pages on Wikipedia about these processes as the best source.

Did you know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Did_you_know#Eligibility_criteria

Good article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_article_nominations

The process that I was involved in was the "did you know" process. This is for new articles or articles that have increased at least five-fold in content. I believe your article would fall under this category. If you would like to be eligible for this status, I believe the nomination must be done within 5 days of the creation of the page. Also, it involves writing a 200 word "hook" about your article to be displayed on the homepage.

Again, I would strongly urge you to directly review the Wikipedia information pages on both good and did you know articles, since a direct source is always best.
