Mentoring
Hi there Katie, welcome! It would be my please to help out any way I can. What types of articles will you be working on with this class, and what sorts of assignments do you have? I see you're getting started by creating a sandbox, and that's a great place to test out editing. Let me know how the class progresses, and if you have any questions. Just leave a message on my talk page or even email me!-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 21:25, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Executive Order 11478 is an interesting article to be working on, and for one thing, it will let you work with one of Wikipedia's sister projects, WikiSource. The text of the executive order should be moved to WikiSource, since Wikipeida is more a place for sourced analysis or the law, rather than the text itself. Though you wouldn't need to do it until you were ready with new text and references, I would start by create an identical login on that site, and copying the sections which only contain original text to this page here, which you will need to create. After doing that, you can add to the top or bottom of the page, which will create a template to link your Wikipedia article to WikiSource equivalent. Last semester, one of my other mentees, User:SoAuthentic, also worked on this article, though not as their class project, and I'll contact him to see if he has any recommendations for you.-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 19:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Patrick, Thank you for your suggestions. I am waiting to hear back from my professor about if I should move my page to where you suggested. I just have a quick question. If I am hyper-linking words on the page I am working on and they turn red should I just remove the hyperlink? Hope you're having a great week so far! Thanks!


 * The first thing you can do with a red hyperlink is check to see if you just have it set up incorrectly. For example, The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission fails, but Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is good. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Executive Order 11478
The Wikipedia Manual of Style tells us: "As much as possible, avoid linking from within quotes, which may clutter the quotation, violate the principle of leaving quotations unchanged, and mislead or confuse the reader." Sooner or later someone will undo the elaborate linking you've been adding to the text of this Executive Order. Another rule is not to add such links repetitively. United States Postal Service is linkd in the first sentence. That's another reason not to link it from the text of Section 8.

It would be much more important to have the text of the original EO and then an explanation of the changes Clinton made in Executive Order 13087. As you currently present the material, you give us the amended text of Section 1 that did not exist when Executive Order 11478 was issued.

I would make what I believe are appropriate changes now, but I think you are doing this for a class and don't want to get in your way. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Survey
Hi Woloshkm!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
