Welcome!
Hello, Dymu4947, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Getting started
Hey Dylan,

'''Just getting this Wiki stuff started and out of the way. I'm going to create a new section in my sandbox to take care of the following:'''


 * Once your group has a Wikipedia article to work on, make sure everyone in the group is assigned to that article on the Students tab of this course page.


 * Select one group member whose Sandbox space you'll all share to draft your article. (It will be titled something like User:Diderot/sandbox.) Each person should link to that shared Sandbox from their own Sandbox page. A sandbox is like any other page on Wikipedia, and anyone can edit it.


 * In your sandbox, write a few sentences make a plan with your group about about what each member will contribute to the selected article.


 * Think back to when you did an article critique. What can you add? Post some of your ideas to the article's talk page.


 * Compile a list of relevant, reliable books, journal articles, or other sources. Post that bibliography to the talk page of the article you'll be working on, and in your sandbox. Make sure to check in on the Talk page to see if anyone has advice on your bibliography.

After that gets done, this is our next step:


 * Draft your article contributions


 * You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing. Individually, make sure you take the trainings linked below.


 * Improving an existing article:


 * Begin working with your group to identify what's missing from the current form of the article. Pick one area of the article that each group member will improve and then individually, make notes for improvement in your sandbox. Each group member will be responsible for drafting up one paragraph (2-10 sentences) to include in the article.

Everyone:

Keep reading your sources, too, and make sure to include these in your drafts. Resources: Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Britton.Sears (talk • contribs) 00:30, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
