Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. I just saw your comment at Dissociative identity disorder‎. This is a collaborative effort and, as in all such endeavours, it's important to familiarise yourself with the group norms. As you, or your student, will be working on a sometimes highly contested article, it is especially important in this case.

A good grasp of
 * Five Pillars
 * Civil
 * Talk page guidelines
 * Neutral point of view
 * Verifiability
 * No original research
 * Reliable sources
 * Identifying reliable sources (medicine)

should ensure a smooth entry to the project. The atmosphere on the article is presently quite good but, if you run into a dispute that can't be resolved via civil argument, familiarise yourself with


 * Dispute resolution

Best of luck. --Anthonyhcole (talk)

PS. This advice may come in handy when editing particularly contentious content: --Anthonyhcole (talk) 06:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Assume good faith


 * Thanks for all of the great links AnthonyCole, I have been spending the last couple of days trying to learn as much as I can on the collaborative editing processes of Wikipedia, and I appreciate all of the documents I can get! Jlfosternz (talk) 06:44, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries, Jeffrey. You might want to replace the @ on your user page email address with @undefined . It will appear like this @undefined and will prevent web crawlers from harvesting it for spammers. Any queries of any kind, please ask at my talk page. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 10:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Expert contributors
Hi Jeff, you appear to meet our criteria for being an expert. Experts sometimes run into trouble (even TomCloyd, whom I consider irksome, had definite expertise that could have been extremely helpful had he not mightily shot his foot off). I can't give any real advice on this since I'm not an expert, but two valuable resources for you might be or. Both are also definite experts and both are also extremely well-respected editors and admins. If you've ever a question on how your expertise can interact with your editing, I'd suggest dropping either a line (feel free to mention I pointed you their way, they both know me). My only advice in this regard is to use your access to reliable sources and in-depth understanding of the literature the same way you would if you were writing a review article - back everything up with a source.

Of course, you may want to coordinate for your students rather than edit, which is also fine. Just make sure there are no group accounts. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 10:46, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
