 * Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Karissa fox. welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Gobonobo and I am an online ambassador for your Writing 101 class.

If you haven't already, I'd like to encourage you to read the United States Education Program's instructions for students. I can help you become familiar with Wikipedia and work on your assignment. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.

If you'd like to get acquainted with Wikipedia, you could have a look at:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...
 * through my talk page here on Wikipedia.
 * by emailing me using this page.

When asking for help, please remember...
 * Provide a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
 * Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
 * Whenever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.

Links...
 * Course page: USEP/Courses/Writing 101 (University of Montana-Western)
 * Instant help: Wikipedia classroom on IRC.


 * I hope you and your class enjoy editing here and will be Wikipedians long after this term! Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!  Gobōnobo  + c 21:23, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Nanook
Hi Karissa fox. I see that you're planning on expanding the Nanook article. I'm uncomfortable with the close paraphrasing from the Blue Ridge Highlander article. (see ) The sentences "Myths and legends tell tales filled with symbols and images that have helped man explain and understand more about the natural world we live in, as well as the supernatural world that lies just beyond our comprehension" and "Legend has it that each autumn the hunters chase the great bear across the sky until it is kill once again, as they cut up the bear for their meal the blood falls down from the heavens coloring the leaves of the maple tree scarlet while the fat drippings from their fire turns the grass to white" are word-for-word copies of your source document. These will need be rewritten. You could also use some links to other articles. Placing double brackets around terms like this: American black bear will result in this: American black bear.
