Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your userpage.

Assignment
I assign you Francisco Arratia Saldierna, a columnist for several Mexican newspapers, who was killed in 2004. Good luck, Crtew (talk) 01:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Writing and inline citations
Hi Segott, I see you're just starting to write and wanted to jog your memory to cite where you're getting information. Wikipedia uses WP:Inline citation. You will notice that the links to articles are around REF Tags on your page. The first time you use a source from there, place the entire reference from the beginning of the REF Tag through the end right behind the sentence where you're drawing from the source. Thereafter, all you need to do to cite the same source (if you do use it more than once) is use the opening REF Tag with the name="whatever" and a slash like this "/" right before the ">". You can do that as many times as you need. The Template:reflist is what actually puts all those references in order by number and times used at the bottom of your page. A very handy tool. Good luck with your writing, Crtew (talk) 18:03, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review
Very well done, it was a great narration of his life and death. The only thing I would add is to your sources, which are a short list, just make sure to have your first and secondary source to make sure the information you are giving is correct. - that comment is for controversial topics in his life, also putting murder for death is a very wide range. Hldickerso (talk) 19:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Good job! Your article is organized and well done. You do a great job of talking about his story and his role. The only criticism I would have would be to look at your sources again and make sure all your citations are correct. Good job keep up the good work

=Jatapley Peer Review= You seem to have already gathered a lot of good information! That's great! However, I would make sure to balance out your sections. Keep up on all of them, so you don't fall behind in one. I noticed a couple of the sections were shorter than the rest. I would also go through and remove some of your unnecessary links, such as the word "kidnapped." It seems a bit excessive to me, not to mention distracting. However, great work so far! You've made a lot of progress! Jatapley (talk) 00:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review
I believe that your article is very well done. I would see what more you can find on the journalist's personal life. There are a couple unnecessary links, but overall, I enjoyed your page. It was thorough, but a few more details in the info box would be nice. Your progress is wonderful for this! Great job on your reflinks too. Sdhuskins (talk) 02:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Sdhuskins

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!
Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
