This user is a student in a course working with the Wikipedia Ambassador Program.

Course page: Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Public Policy/Courses/Spring 2011/Professional and Technical Editing (Cindy Allen)
Course talk page (for questions and feedback on articles): here
Instant help: Wikipedia classroom on IRC.

Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Dude

This comment is a bit self-serving, don't you think? ThePerseid SCD (talk) 21:05, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, really it's nice to see your user page started before I get here (I would have started it anyway for you :) ) Sadads (talk) 21:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! My name is Sadads, and I'm one of the Online Ambassadors assisting students who are contributing to WikiProject United States Public Policy. We're excited to work with you, and we hope you'll stick around. If you haven't already, take a few minutes and check out the handy links below to start sharing your knowledge with the world.

Your class is part of a pilot project for bridging the gap between Wikipedia and the academic world; as you learn how to edit Wikipedia, we'll be learning how to better help newcomers. So it will be a fun learning experience all around! You'll find links below for leaving feedback or getting help. If you need anything further, feel free to contact me at my user talk page. And don't forget: have fun! Sadads (talk) 21:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (ThePerseid SCD) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to be promotional. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Lord Porchcrop ^POWER 06:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My username is a reference to the Andromeda episode "Harper 2.0", in which a Perseid (one of the aliens in the Andromeda universe) infects the ship's engineer with the contents of the All-Systems University, the main recorder of knowledge and information in the known worlds. The Perseid was a member of the Special Collections Division (SCD), which was charged with the collection and preservation of the information stored in the All-Systems University. My username cannot be promotional, as the All-Systems University does not exist. ThePerseid SCD (talk) 07:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll vouch for him, it is in fact not promotional, he is participating in a Wikipedia assignment with the WP:United States Public Policy Initiative.

Perseid, don't worry about this, it doesn't reflect on you, it's just we occasionally get individual who wish to promote their companies on Wikipedia, and we have a team of people that keep an eye out for it, Sadads (talk) 12:46, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Mentor request

I'd be happy to be your mentor! I'll keep an eye on your Sandbox page and try to provide feedback whenever I can. Feel free to ask questions on my talk page. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 01:43, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox Feedback

Hey mate, it looks like you're getting some good work done in your sandbox. Before you go any further with the bulleted summary of the entire bill, I think you should be aware that prose (paragraphs with full sentences) is greatly preferred over bulleted lists. Perhaps you could to dedicate a paragraph to each of the bill, or group together similar themes from the entire Act. It may be helpful to look at the article on the Alaska Mental Health Enabling Act, which is featured, meaning that it has been judged to be of the highest possible quality. Cheers! --Cryptic C62 · Talk 17:44, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll take a look. Paragraphs will look nicer than bullets anyway. ThePerseid SCD (talk) 19:03, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
