Hello, Dkmarshall. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

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 tasks

Congratulations, you completed all of the first tasks!  Done Don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes (~), which is below the ESC key. Crtew (talk) 02:44, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Adopt a journal project

Dkmarshall, You have been assigned Ahmed Ismail Hassan (click here to edit) as you are interested in sports. Crtew (talk) 21:24, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Check request

Dkmarshall, I checked your references. Done It looks like you have the process down! Future tip: You can adjust the style of the citation in Reflinks from "web" to "news" for news sources. The Australian wasn't picked up by the tool because it's gone behind a paywall since it was first available. This is the type of article you can access through our library's database. It looks like you need to go into Lexis Nexis and add some references to your page to finish the assignment! So far, so good, Crtew (talk) 00:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Second tasks

Dkmarshall, You have successfully run the reflinks tool and your sources are in good shape! I edited the one reference that is now behind a paywall. You can access that through Lexis Nexis without registering at the news site. Crtew (talk) 15:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

The image

The original source of the image was the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. I changed your sourcing from the blog to a page where BCHR had posted his photo. The cropped picture removes the matter that the blog had superimposed over his photo. Btw, a map is already posted on your page. Crtew (talk) 03:46, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

MAP

I know I added a map. Are you talking about the one I added or the one that was already one the page?
