wrap-up of USF project
Hello students working on the University of San Francisco article,

You're probably just about done with your project. If you are still working on the article here are a couple of ideas:
 * one editor posted a great to-do list on the talk page which could be used to improve the sources and some sections
 * you can continue to use the project page WikiProject University of San Francisco to coordinate
 * Don't forget that Wikipedia is not a guide for students. It's an encyclopedia. And the better the sources are the better the article will be.

General notes:
 * You've probably noticed that other editors are now working on the USF article, in some cases removing some of the material that some of you posted. This is the way Wikipedia is supposed to work. Don't get upset about this: even though the other editors are not students, they are helping bring the article up to Wikipedia's standards. I tried to give you all a sense of how complex these standards are in class, but now you are seeing them in action.
 * If you want to see a list of your own contributions (whether or not the text you added is still in the article) you can just go to special:contributions. Enter your username in the box and hit "search", and you'll get a list of your contributions; click the link that says "diff" to see exactly what you changed in that edit.
 * You all did a great job without a lot of time or help -- the article has really grown! You should all be proud of yourselves. I hope that it was fun and that you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia. If you have questions about editing, you can always contact me on my talk page. And...
 * thanks for editing Wikipedia :) -- phoebe / (talk to me) 18:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
