Welcome![edit]

Hello, Mrbigg08, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:01, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Let us help[edit]

Hi!

I see that you're taking Writing for Digital Media. What is your Wikipedia assignment? There are lots of people here (including me) who can answer questions and generally make things easier.

By the way: If any more of your edits get reverted, have a look at the edit summary in the page history. For example: The first few lines of the edit history of "Data storage" show why your changes were reverted; they also offer some advice about what you can do.

There are some things we don't publish, and lists of pros and cons are one of them. We don't give advice, and we don't advocate one technology over another. We try to give information from a neutral point of view. For example: When describing the merits of the floppy disk, you might talk about it in historical terms: When the floppy disk was invented, what differentiated it from other types of information storage? Why did people stop using floppy disks? To get that information, you need reliable sources. Then you tell readers what those sources are.

We also try to put things in the right place. While the specifics of cloud computing are appropriate for some articles, right now "Data storage" is not the best place for that material.

If we know what your assignment is, we can help! You can reply to this message, you can post to Talk:Data storage, or you can ask a question at The Teahouse. —Ringbang (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
