Newbie Editors
Is this the first time you've dared open a talk page? If so don't fret it's pretty simple; just head over to the edit tab on the right and click on it, leave us a note and sign it off with four of these fellows: ~ (probably to the left of your enter key shift-#) it'll show up like this Amosabo (talk) 09:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk to us!
I'm interested in helping, and am based in London at Cancer Research UK. Wiki CRUK John (talk) 16:20, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello Wiki CRUK John, it was pleasure to meet you in London. It would be great if you could help us line online Wikipedians to help the student editors. Also, Ammar is running an in person edit-a-thon. He is trying to arrange for local folks to come and help out. I think he has your contact information already. But if not, here is the link to his user talk page. User talk:Amosabo. Sydney Poore/FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 20:35, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello Wiki CRUK John, it would be a pleasure to have you attend in person. The event is on September 16th 12.30pm at the UK Cochrane Centre in Oxford. The details are on the event page. Amosabo (talk) 15:01, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This looks like it should be an interesting experience! However, I think we need to work a little more on publicity! Not that many users signed up! Mind you it is daunting to start using wikipedia from an editing point of you! The easier we make it for students to try this... the more success we'll have! Pishoygouda (talk) 15:00, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Pishoygouda ! I totally agree, have you had a look at the newbie crash course; I have tried to make it as painless as possible! Amosabo (talk) 13:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm finding these pages highly confusing! There's Students 4 Best Evidence September 2014 editing campaign with the list of pre-event stuff (I presume), and Education_Program:Students_4_Best_Evidence/Students_4_Best_Evidence,_September_editing_campaign_, where enrollees end up, but are not really told what to do. Clearer instructions for the 16th are needed: will computers be provided/available, what training will be offered on the day, and so on? This might be overkill, and has post-event follow-up, but you need to give a good deal more information than at present.  Wiki CRUK John (talk) 17:44, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Wiki CRUK John I have spent the morning trying to make these changes. What do you think? amosabo''t@lk; 11:21, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Much better - maybe add a column where people can clarify whether they will be there in person or online? Areany spare laptops available? Not everyone may be able to bring one. Wiki CRUK John (talk) 09:52, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm looking into spare laptops. As for the column we'll have to ask Sydney as I think it is part of the extension and I can't find where to edit it. amosabo''t@lk; 10:08, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

-Hello! Is registration (or ordering tickets) needed for those who want to attend via Google Hangouts? also I've seen different start times for the event, 2:00 PM and 12:00 PM, which one is correct? thanks. TQGrey145 (talk) 09:23, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi TQGrey145. The event is at 12.00pm British Summer Time and for the Hangout all you need to do is connect to it at the time. Do you remember where you saw it said 2.00pm so that I may correct it? Looking forward to you joining us!
 * I saw the 2.00 pm start time in the events on Facebook and Google plus. However, it looks like these sites are automatically adjusting the event time according to my time zone. Thanks! TQGrey145 (talk) 15:40, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * TQGrey145 We are LIVE online, join us here.
 * I'm really sorry, I tried to connect on time but I just couldn't. Anyway, during the last week I got the chance to learn and to know more about Wikipedia, and I had a better understanding about how things work. Thank you very much! TQGrey145 (talk) 17:01, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for organising the course, I'll be in London this week contributing online. benrusholme (talk) 16:57, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for planning on joining us benrusholme!
 * benrusholme We are online, join us here.
 * Joining now. benrusholme (talk) 15:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:
 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
 * We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
 * Lastly, why not try and strive to create a good article! Anatomical articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages!

Hi students, I've been seeing your edits pop up on numerous anatomy articles. Thanks for helping improve Wiki, your edits have likely already been seen be thousands to tens of thousands of people. If you don't believe me, see WP:ANAT500, our most popular anatomy pages! If you need help or want to collaborate on any anatomical articles, please swing by. --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
