I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you on your project this term! Before you get started, you may want to aquaint yourself with Wikipedia.
I'd like to encourage you to read the Wikipedia:United States Education Program's instructions for students. Your class is supported by either Online Ambassadors, or both Online and On-Campus Ambassadors. Our job is to help you become familiar with Wikipedia, and help you as you work on your article this term. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.
To help you get acquainted with Wikipedia, you should have a look at:
When ever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.
It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.
If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...
Tell me that you are a student in American Culture 204 (Summer 2012). (I will prioritize responding to students/instructors in classes I'm working with).
Provide me a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
If you are posting on my talk page, Always sign your post with ~~~~. (This is important so that I know who to reply to!)
Sometimes I am busy and unable to reply quickly, but I will reply as soon as possible (usually same day, but check my User page to make sure).
Hello! Matejohn,
