Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 05:17, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Wikirishiwiki, there's a message for you at Wikipedia:Education_noticeboard#Request_for_course_instructor_right:_Wikirishiwiki_.28talk.29, when you have a moment czar · · 12:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Email follow-up[edit]

I saw your request to the Education Noticeboard and I would be interested in talking with you about your class's goals, hopefully finding a way that I can help out, if you're interested. I know a fair amount about Wikipedia and Krishamurti's life, so it could be a good partnership. Let me know what times would work for you. I'm living in Wisconsin, USA (CDT, UTC -0600), but I can do early mornings or late nights to accommodate your schedule.

Hi Marcy—I sent you an email a week ago (August 25th) and wanted to make sure you received it. You can either reply to the email or below this message, either is fine. Hope all's well czar · · 10:26, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thanks for your follow up. Our server was down and then our IP address was blocked. I would be happy to discuss working with you on our page(s). Let me know what you have in mind. I'm usually online at 9AM IST. Wikirishiwiki 05:06, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to help however I can be most useful. We can talk about sandbox editing, how to use reference/source formatting, the types of information that fit best into the article, image rights, any of the education program materials, where to find other resources on Wikipedia. Let's set up a time via the email I sent (it'll be easier) if you think it'd be helpful to chat. I'd be happy to speak with your students too, if there's a good time to answer group questions generally.
