Please be the mentor for the students working on Tying of Apple products
Hi PrincessofLyr! I'm currently trying to assign mentors to all the remaining groups in Professor Obar's class. Would you be the mentor for the group of students working on Tying of Apple products (not yet created)? If you can do it, thanks! If not, please let me know.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:45, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

How to upload image to wiki?
Hi:

I am wondering if I can upload some images from my computer to the wikipedia?

Thank you

--TiMkOk (talk) 20:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello! There's absolutely no problem with you uploading images as long as they are within Wikipedia's free use guidelines. If you're wondering how to upload images, try some of these links: PDF on uploading, video about copyright licenses, and Wikipedia's guide to uploading images. I hope those help; if not, just ask again. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 13:37, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Hey, thanks! I actually saw you on my watchlist last night and thought, "Yay! Another princess!" Keep up the good work and feel free to bring your questions here. I look forward to seeing you around! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 14:12, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank You!
Hey,thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia. I am very excited to begin editing. Please inform me on what I can do to improve the Lost Hero page. Lifeacting (talk) 16:52, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good question! The Lost Hero article is fairly advanced, and we're actually working on having it promoted to Good Article. Here is a link where a reviewer told us some things to work on. In addition to what they mention, more reviews (see "critical reception" section) are always good. Sine you're interested in this, you may want to check out the Percy Jackson task force, which monitors and improves all articles related to Percy Jackson.

Moonrise
Hi Princess. Sorry to bother you again, but if you could, I'd appreciate you taking a look over Moonrise (Warriors), as I feel I am ready to resubmit it to GAN again.  Bramble  claw  x   03:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Seriously, what gives the idea you're a bother? The least I can do for WP Warriors is copyedit articles. I'm on my way to bed tonight, so I pretty much just checked the article against the last reviewer's comments, and you seem to have fixed most of those. Ref 9 is just a bare link, do we have a retrieval date for that? I'll do a full copyedit tomorrow afternoon, since I already picked up one error on just a cursory glance.  PrincessofLlyr  royal court 04:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I read that and I thought you asked me why I thought I was a "brother" at first. I was pretty confused...   Bramble  claw  x   23:21, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Uh... Princess... I know you claimed I'm not a bother, but it's alright if you don't have enough time to look over the Moonrise article... unless you've just forgotten...?  Bramble  claw  x   04:14, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ack! Sorry, RL in the way again. I just read it over and it looks pretty much fine. I'm not going to have Internet access regularly until Thursday, so I'll help with anything else after I get back. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 14:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Magical Yankee's cap?
Hey Princess! I was wondering if you knew whether Annabeth's cap was first mentioned in Lightning Thief. Or did I guess wrong?  Bramble  claw  x   14:58, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi! Camp Half-Blood wikia says it is first mentioned in TLT, which was my first hunch. I could look at the book and tell you the exact reference, but it might be a week or two. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 02:40, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

MSU students work on Wiki Project of US Public Policy
Hi，Princess.Just call me David. I have been writting small pieces of articles. First of all， I need to know the function of sandbox and how to use it. And how is it related to the external/internal link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by XiaotianDavid (talk • contribs) 22:37, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good to hear from you, David! I will answer your questions in order:
 * Sandboxes are a space designed for users to practice in before actually putting something in a real article. Also, if you want to start a new article, you can write it in your sandbox before you actually publish it.
 * To use a sandbox: Find the sandbox you want to work in (either Sandbox or your very own sandbox!). You click "edit" and type whatever you want. I suggest practicing in your own sandbox because the Wikipedia sandbox is used by a lot of people and gets cleaned out a lot.
 * About internal and external links: Not sure exactly what you're asking here; the sandbox is in no way related to linking, except that you can practice linking in a sandbox. Externals links are links to websites outside Wikipedia. They are used sometimes at the end of articles and in references in articles. They are formatted this way: [website address] . For example,, gives me this:. You click on the link and it takes you to the website. Internal links are links to articles in Wikipedia. They are formatted Article . United States

gives you: United States. That link will take you straight to the article.
 * Did that fully answer your questions? Feel free to ask for clarification if needed. Cheers, PrincessofLlyr  royal court 01:50, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

I just posted some pieces of work on my dicussion page. Hope to get advice from you. (David)

Hey Princess, I'm in David's group as well. Just wanted to say thanks for helping us out with our project. Also, our specific topic is on the Comcast/NBC merger. I noticed that there is no specific page on this matter, so do you think it would be more useful to make a new page on the topic, or simply add to existing Comcast and NBC pages as we do our research? MotoFly1675 (talk) 02:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi guys! David, your work so far looks great. I do still suggest moving it from your talk page to a sandbox. Your talk page is meant mostly for people to communicate with you, so having article work there could be confusing. The research looks great! Your references are well laid-out. At some point they should be converted to inline, meaning that each line is referenced, but that doesn't have to be done right away. Finally, please sign your posts on talk pages with this ~ . That will produce your signature, making a conversation easier to follow.


 * Motofly, nice to hear to from you! Right now, I would suggest adding your work to the respective pages. I'm not really certain that the merger deserves its own article, but I will do a little research, and it shouldn't be complicated to create an article if that becomes a possibility. Both the NBC and Comcast articles are extensive already, so try to keep your additions brief and to the point. I would also suggest posting something on the talk page of each article about the project and the gist of what you will be adding. That way involved editors understand what's going on and can help you.


 * Sorry for such a long reply, but I hope it helps both of you. Carry on the good work! PrincessofLlyr  royal court 02:37, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello princess, Brad will work great. Thanks for all the help so far on the Wiki page. I did some research on the actual proposal before the approval. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put in the actual proposal date and a little information about that before the first section David started? Thanks so much Brad — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forchebr (talk • contribs) 18:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Brad! Background info on the proposal would be terrific. I would be happy to help you with formatting and referencing it. As an additional note, please sign your posts on talk pages with ~ ; that will produce your signature, making conversations easier to follow. PrincessofLlyr  royal court 19:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Princess, our wiki editting has been complimented by our professor which is fabulous. The next step he told us is to move our articles to the real page. I just wonder how and when can we do that? XiaotianDavid (talk) 20:45, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
