There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

First steps[edit]

Congrats! You did it all and on the first attempt.  Done Good work, Crtew (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the code problem on you user page. It had a redirect to Elletsville, Indiana to just display Elletsville you would include this "|Elletsville" after the Indiana in the wikilink! Crtew (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adopt a Journalist Project[edit]

I'd like to explore Australia. Pldaab (talk) 07:16, 18 January 2014 (UTC) exclamation mark [reply]

You are assigned to write about the Killing of the Cholon Four, which is about the death of Australian journalists during an ambush in Cholon, Saigon during the Vietnam War. Crtew (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2014 (UTC) [reply]

A good model for this as you start would be the article on the Balibo Five, which is also about a group of Australians who were killed in Southeast Asia. Crtew (talk) 21:48, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
