Welcome
Hello, Mykkramer and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Chris Troutman ( talk ) 23:26, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Articles for Creation
I recommend against submitting your sandbox to Articles for Creation. Beyond the fact that it'll be weeks before it is reviewed, it is also unnecessary. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 04:04, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Great work!
Hi, I'm Eryk from the Wiki Education Foundation. I happened to notice the really great work you did on the Maritime Strike article! I wondered if you'd be interested in sharing some of your experiences working on this site for our blog? We could use your real name or your Wikipedia username. We find students like to participate since it gives them a pretty positive search result related to the field they're studying in. If you have a minute, you can drop me an e-mail at eryk@wikiedu.org, mention your username and what course you were in, and answer any of the following questions, and I'd be excited to get some attention directed toward your good work.


 * 1) What are your goals (career or academics wise?)
 * 2) Did you have any experience with Wikipedia before the class started? What did you think of Wikipedia before you started work on this assignment?
 * 3) How did you find the process of writing a Wikipedia article, compared to if you had written a traditional paper on the topic?
 * 4) Do you think you learned more about your subject as a result of writing for Wikipedia? What kind of work did you have to do, or do differently, that you may not have needed to do otherwise?
 * 5) Do you think you'll come back to Wikipedia now that the course is finished?
 * 6) What was your experience working with photos like? Where did you find them?

Thanks for your time! Eryk (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:10, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
