It was easy to follow and the sections were clear, concise and not too long!
 * What I liked:

The tutorial videos and interactive features were not compatible with my tablet. Maybe work on that in the future?

How to stop an indent (i.e. I only want to indent the first sentence and leave the rest of the text normal)

 * The videos were very helpful. I followed the videos pausing along the way to edit my sandbox page:

Daamoy (talk)More editing skills should be taught at the beginning
Videos teaching people how to edit an article.
 * What I liked:

More editing skills should be taught at the beginning, e.g. how to insert a picture.

Glasshn (talk)
Very detailed training module with good links to videos and tutorials that give a better explanation or allow the user to practice. I like the idea of 5 pillars because it is easy to remember and helps users to better understand what wikipedia is about and what it is not about and how to operate within wikipedia.
 * What I liked:

The videos didn't play until I opened them in youtube, the tutorial was a little frustrating if you accidentally closed it.
 * What I didn't like:

I think a better introduction to the coding structure that is used in writing wikipedia articles would be helpful.
 * What was missing:

N/A
 * What was unnecessary:

It was easy to accidentally close the tutorial and I couldn't figure out how to make it re-launch without going back through the training and then starting the tutorial over. I liked that you could keep trying again until you got it right.

 * What I liked:

... There wasn't anything that I didn't like.
 * What I didn't like:

... I would have liked to practice using the sandbox to create a new page vs edit an existing page and how to link it to the original so that other contributors can follow what is going on.

 * What I didn't like:

... I would've liked to have seen more in-depth creating and editing tools, as well as an easier way to find this page in the first place- I needed a link from my instructor, and couldn't find it when I created an account on the site originally.

Abbeykobrien (talk)
...
 * What I liked: The videos were very helpful!

...
 * What I didn't like: I think it's a bit overwhelming, so I think there should be a very basic intro training for editing, and then an advanced training for Talking, Watching, etc. That way the user could get all of the basics first without feeling swamped!

...
 * What was missing: In the section on adding photos, the only example given was for one's own work. Given that most people use reproduced images that are not their own, I think it would be more helpful to have the tutorial based on that option.

...
 * What was unnecessary: WikiLove...I don't think it's necessary for beginners!

...Easy to follow and no unnecessary information was in each of the sections. The videos that were linked were also helpful especially for a visual of what to do.

The interactive training was incredibly helpful to learn how to make basic edits to Wikipedia.
 * What I liked:

When you click on a link, it should automatically take you to a new tab so as not to lose your spot in the training.
 * What I didn't like:

Is there a way to undo an edit if you make a mistake?
 * What was missing:

Some of the videos explained exactly what was said in the previous text.

Thorough background of how to avoid plagiarism as this can often times be somewhat of a grey area.

Mahsa.Shahi (talk)
...
 * What I liked: I liked the inclusion of the videos to further expand on topics that may be confusing for a new Wikipedia user (for example the references videos and the picture embedding video).

...
 * What I didn't like: The interactive training portion was a great idea; however, I didn't like that if I stopped part way through training, I would have to restart or there would be multiple versions of the same markup in my sandbox.  It got a bit confusing and discouraging but eventually worked out OK.  I would suggest a warning to people who may not be able to complete the training in one sitting.

...
 * What was missing: My next step is to create a user talk page.  I'm still a little unsure how to go about doing this so I think a little more detail on this topic would be a good addition to the training.  Although resources for creating talk pages were included I think it should have more focus in the training.

...
 * What was unnecessary: The firework sounds after I finished one of the interactive trainings. I couldn't stop it after I moved on to the next page and kept doing the training with it playing in the background...but it definitely set the mood.

I mentioned this previously but once again, I liked the training I just didn't like that if I would stop halfway through and return to it I'd have to start from the beginning and have multiple copies of the same text to reformat. It got a bit confusing. ...
