Hello, DonnaWood, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Welcome! Its big and confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it. Just be patient with yourself... WP is not all that intuitive. You're welcome to ask me for help if you like.Thelmadatter (talk) 22:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
RE: Thanks Deb. This is a college assignment and I'm really struggling with editing process. I'm not even sure if you will get this message. What would you recommend to make it sound the right way? DonnaWood (talk) 15:10, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. You just placed a message on User talk:Deb - which means, that specific person will see the message.
However, you also used a {{helpme}} - which alerts any helper; hence I saw it.
I've copied it back here, on your own talk page. Chzz ► 15:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured to the right.
Also, please add new comments at the end of talk pages.
And please do not give your email address; remember that anyone can see Wikipedia pages, so it is not a good idea.
You could improve the article a lot by using inline citations - to show which bits of information come fro which source. Cheers, Chzz ► 15:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>
He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";
== References ==
{{reflist}}
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook">
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009.
</ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>
Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.
You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;
Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
| last = Smith
| first = John
| title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
| publication-date = 2001
| publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
| page = 125
| isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
