Welcome![edit]

Hello, WLClements, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:25, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes[edit]

when someone with your user name edits an article such as William L. Clements Library is is believed by some of the more suspicious (even paranoid) editors that there might be a conflict of interest. Just something to think about. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:19, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you put something, anything, on your user page then your user name will change into a blue link rather than being the red one that it is now. This suggests to others that you are not the dead end that red links suggest and that perhaps you are even a serious editor who intends to stay around. The "User Page" tab at the top left of this page will change color too. Carptrash (talk) 16:20, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another tip or two[edit]

In order to get rid of this pesky tags, add a few references, I have already formatted the page for them, but they need to some sources for your information. otherwise the assumption might be that you are just making it up, which probably happens more than you imagine. Then go to all the appropriate links in the article, U of M and his fraternity for example, find a list of notable members and link back to the Clements article. Other articles linking to an article is one of the surest ways of cementing it in. Carptrash (talk) 22:35, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
