Fayetteville State University[edit]

I have just created my first edit on the Fayetteville State University page in the Student Media heading. There was no information on the student published newspaper, The Voice, so I added a brief basic description as well as a two external links to sources. The first link is to the online version of the paper, which I found through the Fayetteville State University Student Clubs page. The second link is to digitized versions of earlier papers that have recently been made available through DigitalNC.org. Any guidance on how to best edit content would be appreciated!

Alfonso Elder[edit]

I added a few things to the Alfonso Elder page. It was missing references in one part, and I added some information that I hope will help argue for the article's notability. Any feedback on these changes is very welcome, as I am still trying to understand what is considered acceptable content on Wikipedia. (Natsuba (talk) 14:35, 6 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Adding reference on wiki articles[edit]

Hello Natsuba! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding a well formatted references is very easy to do.

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
Then click on "templates",
Choose the most appropriate template and fill as many details as you can,

This will add a well formatted reference that would be helpful in case the website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) after some time. You can read more about it on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv. thanks and regards --DBig Xray 18:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

July 2012[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Fayetteville State University does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! DBig Xray 18:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talk Article[edit]

hey I was looking at your comments in the above sections Fayetteville State University and Alfonso Elder . You do not need to explain your edits on your talk page. but placing a similar comment on Talk:Article would be a better thing to do. for small and obvious edits just an explanation in WP:EDITSUM is sufficient. cheers. --DBig Xray 18:48, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
