Let me be the first to welcome you and commend you on your enthusiasm and ability to follow instructions. The Wikipedia mantra is BE BOLD. For me at least, just making an account took a great deal of courage. The next logical step in your Wikipedia indoctrination is to energize your home page. It will serve as an excellent place to learn some of the basic wiki-codes without dorking up an article. Editing skills will require some experimentation and self teaching. The easiest way to start is to visit others and “steal” some ideas. By that - I mean click the edit tab and see their html codes which you can copy and paste into yours. CAREFUL --- don’t edit their page…. COPY not cut!!!!! You can then adjust it to reflect your own personal style. Feel free to be creative. Try to provide some insight into who you are while still maintaining your Anonymity. Personally I like the community’s use of user boxes to provide some insight into your way of thinking.

Welcome to Wikipedia. You will find a surprising amount of support for your class project. Don't worry too much about the details of Wikipedia...just add good reliable content...which is far harder to do than endless formatting! Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 02:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AP Bio Project - Adoption possibility?

[edit]

Greetings Desert fox2009. Firstly, I would like to welcome you to the Wikipedia community! Secondly, I'm wondering if you would be interested in having me as a mentor for the AP-Bio project. Although not a Biology student myself (I opted for IB Physics instead;), I have significant experience on Wikipedia itself (2 FA's, 2 A's, 1 GA, Assistant Coordinator of the Military History Project), as well as decent knowledge of Manual of Style. If you're at all interested, feel free to contact me on my talk page. I wish you the best of luck in working on Cannonball Jellyfish, and (hopefully) look forward to working alongside you over the next months! All the best, Cam (Chat) 06:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Cannonball review

[edit]

No probs. Like I said, there's all kinds of possibilities for expansion. With quality referencing and good structure, I think GA is entirely possible before January's over. Cam (Chat) 05:10, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retire this account

[edit]

If you are "reborn" under a new account - I would suggest retiring this one. I do not want my students operating under multiple account names. Also add your new account to the project page and associate it with the otter project. We can drop the jellyfish from the project list as well. Good luck with the team approach - hopefully you guys can whip the otter into shape!--JimmyButler (talk) 18:33, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
