Got your message -LG

Welcome
Hello, ThrowTheBar2, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Dr Mynlieff's Neurobiology course. My job here is to help you work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user.

You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by [mailto:yunshuiwiki@gmail.com emailing me]. I will respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Once again, if you need help with any aspect of Wikipedia, please just ask; it's what I'm here for. Enjoy your course! Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  09:34, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Note from instructor
ThrowTheBar2, where is your userpage with links and image?--MMBiology (talk) 23:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * In case you need help adding an image to your userpage I've prepared a short essay here to explain the basic process. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  11:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Pictures
I'm afraid you can't just link to files on your computer from Wikipedia. If the picture you want to use is one you own the copyright to (i.e. you took it) then please upload it to Wikimedia Commons before using it. See the essay I linked to above for more information.

Formatting
Just in case you weren't already aware: if you leave a space at the start of a line, the subsequent text will appear in a code box like this To remove the effect, simply delete the space at the start of the line.

If you want to indent text on a talk page
 * like this
 * or this

you should use a colon or series of colons :like this ::or this Hope that's useful. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  09:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Don't forget to put the educational banner on the talk page for senile plaques so that others know this was edited for a class.MMBiology (talk) 14:48, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
