David Hume Tower Building session 27.05.2016
Hello again, ! Thank you so much for taking part in the training session today. I hope that you enjoyed it and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor (cool userpage by the way!) I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful. As a first step you may like to check out what What Wikipedia is not along with its 5 guiding principles: The 5 pillars.

If you're not feeling bold enough to write an (other) article straight away, why not try a small edit first, or adding a link? Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful, especially the first one which covers the main things to remember about using Visual Editor.


 * Visual Editor user guide
 * Is your topic notable enough for an article?
 * Be Bold!
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
 * Learn from others
 * How to write a great article
 * A simplified manual of style

The University of Edinburgh are also looking into running lots more edit-a-thons over the course of the residency where you could get extra practice in a friendly communal environment (with fellow editors, tea, coffee & biscuits) – details are still to be confirmed but will be updated on my project page here: Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Remember, if you are writing on a talk page, please sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon! Stinglehammer (talk) 18:25, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jleeper, and welcome to wikipedia. I've come across a couple of your edits and assume you have some expertise and perhaps connection to study related to Andrew Millar. Can I ask you to please be careful using words like "the most prominent" or "the successful" which are not neutral - the way wikipedia works, an independent, third-party source would need to be cited making that claim to use those words, plus they are just unnecessary for example when referencing who the publisher of John Locke's book was. If you do have an external connection to [www.millar-project.ed.ac.uk] can I also suggest you read the conflict of interest guidelines as adding a whole bunch of links to the same website, even a reputable one, can raise some flags about promotional editing here. I hope that those are helpful suggestions and don't put you off contributing. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 04:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Note also that a link used in a reference within an article should not usually then be added to the "External links" section at the bottom of the page - see WP:ELRC - unless it isthe official site for the subject of the article (so in the case of the links you have been adding, it would be ok to include it in the EL of the the Andrew Millar article for example).
