 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

Second, you should know that Wikipedia usernames should not be shared by an organization or group. So if this account is being used by more than one individual in your capstone, please create independent accounts.

Finally, feel free to ask me, Aboutmovies, or you can ask questions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon. We are more than happy to help out. In fact, I'm assuming you are at PSU, so if you'd like to meet with me to discuss policies (such as meeting the 5 pillars guidelines and not using original research), I'm only a block away from Lincoln Hall and can meet for coffee. tedder (talk) 03:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Manual of style
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, only the initial letter and proper names are capitalized in headings. Katr67 (talk) 15:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style that should be followed. Katr67 (talk) 20:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Specifically (in addition to the template message above, besides the note about heading capitalization above, please read about overlinking. I unlinked all but one instance of Portland Water Bureau and you put it back, which is incorrect. Maybe you don't know why your changes "disappeared"? See the article's page history and look at the "diffs" to see the changes I made in formatting that made the article in keeping with the manual of style. Let me know if you need help seeing the diffs.


 * If you're one of several people using this account (or even if you're not), please read the note left you above. It's a shame to have to revert your hard work, but you need to stop and communicate with your fellow editors. We can help you whip the article into shape, but we need you to stop for a minute and learn about our form and style. Thanks! Katr67 (talk) 20:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
