Please enroll on your class Course Page
Hi, Gmtheofanis!

Your professor should briefly update you in class tomorrow about your new course page, but it's basically just a new tool we're using to keep an eye on student edits that should give you better support and feedback. Please take a few seconds to go to this Course Page and "enroll" as a student. All you'll need to do is 1) make sure you're logged in to your Wikipedia account, 2) click the "enroll" button on the top left of the page, and 3) enter "35" as your enrollment token. Thank you so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 21:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Dr Perkins, I have already tried to add some new facts to Derald Wing Sue's wikipedia site using the encoding help page. There is not much on Sue, so I plan on adding a lot to the Wikipedia page. There are two sections titled "Personal life" and "Professional life", and I plan on adding mostly to those. Since Sue's role models were important Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, I thought about maybe tying in the historical context of these two individuals.

Hi Grace, I think your plans sound fine, but I am not sure Wikipedia will accept additions that it considers tangential (like the ideas about Sue's role models you mention). You should move ahead with your contributions and when you have a polished insert to make go ahead and publish it on the full Wikipedia page. Others will see it and may respond to it, or perhaps not, but I don't want students to wait until the last minute to try publishing their contributions. Dperkins16 (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Gmtheofanis! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!
