Welcome![edit]

Hello, CitadelArchives009, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

ENG 465 Check-In[edit]

Hi Anthony,

This is Sam, the TA from ENG 465! Prof. Hanley asked me to help get in touch with everyone this weekend to make sure the Wiki assignments are moving along smoothly.

It looks like you've been making steady progress! Awesome to see you've kept up with the training modules and exercises, and even been working on the bibliography as well. I also thought you did a great job of assessing and evaluating your potential articles as well!

Ultimately, Prof. Hanley has the final say in approving topics for our class, so if you haven't already, you might want to run Dr. Stone by him, just to make sure.

One thing that might be a little bit harder with choosing a manga series as your topic is identifying "quality" sources, because you're (most likely) going to have rather different sources than with Western cinema or literature. For example, Otaquest describes itself as "a new initiative" and features editorial content, which might raise some questions about its "reliability" as a source by Wikipedia's standards, and Crunchyroll streams Dr. Stone, which might raise some questions about its "bias" as a source, again by Wikipedia's standards. Not that you can't use those sources you already found! I'm sure interviews with the manga's creator are invaluable sources of information. Just offering my advice to choose your references carefully.

What might end up helping along the way is posting your in-progress bibliography to the Talk Page and asking for feedback. I've seen at least one student in our class do so and then get suggestions from an experienced Wikipedia editor right away!

Another idea is to visit Wikipedia's Anime and Manga Portal and check out the Featured Articles to use as examples for what a really good manga series Wikipedia article will look like (Naruto, School Rumble, and Tokyo Mew Mew are a few of the ones listed). My gut feeling is you can't really go wrong by trying to emulate a Featured Article that's in the same general category as your own article! I'm doing exactly that with an article I'm editing too :)

Feel free to reply here or message me on Zoom during class if you have any questions or concerns you think I can help with! I have email notifications on, so I'll try to get back to you right away if I see you've replied here. --Sjnickerson (talk) 02:57, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sam,

I was looking for my assigned peer reviews I couldn't find any on my dashboard. My draft is ready to be peer reviewed as well. I made the mistake of starting it in the wrong sandbox and didn't realize my mistake until yesterday. It should be in the correct sandbox now. Hope to hear back from you soon.

Hi Anthony,

I'm sorry I never replied to this! I ended up getting tons of notifications when someone in the class edited their Wiki pages, even if they weren't sending a message to me, so I missed some messages that were for me before I figured that all out. Sorry you waited for the peer reviews as well, I hope they were helpful though!

Also, just in case you didn't see it, I left you the "greenlight" Prof. H wanted everyone to receive before moving their sandbox drafts into their live Wikipedia articles here. Let me know if you need anything! --Sjnickerson (talk) 22:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
