A brief note[edit]

I noticed that it appears you're using Wikipedia as a tool for a class you're teaching, though I may be mistaken. If you are, I'd advise you to look at Wikipedia:School and university projects, which has helpful guidelines, tips and lists of editors who'd be willing to help you and your students with projects on Wikipedia. If you want to ask me anything, feel free to reply here, or leave me a note on my talk page. Good luck! elektrik SHOOS (talk) 19:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Elektrik Shoos. You are correct (see my userpage for details). Marie Helweg-Larsen (talk) 22:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What school are you a professor at? How young are your students? Some of them seem to be rather clueless at this. Dream Focus 15:09, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your note does not seem very welcoming to my students who are indeed new to Wikipedia. See my userpage for details. Marie Helweg-Larsen (talk) 22:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dream Focus, not everyone knows how to wikicode and navigate the intricate policies that govern Wikipedia, and it's important to exercise patience with those newer to the project. elektrik SHOOS (talk) 00:23, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
