Online Ambassador

Hello, I am an experienced Wikipedia editor who has volunteered as an online ambassador to assist students editing Wikipedia:India Education Program/Courses/Fall 2011/Research Methodology Year 3 Group A articles. Please call on me freely with respect to editing and style questions. I can also address any issues you may encounter with other users confidentially. I live in the United States, MDT, so please be mindful of the time difference, about 12 hours. I am often available on irc in the early morning or late evening. I am available through Wikipedia email and will respond to notes on my talk page. Our experience with mentoring is that users who edit actively and communicate freely with other users often have the best experience, so, if possible, jump right in and actively edit your class assignment and anything else that interests you and feel free to ask me, or any other Wikipedia user, for help.

References

hi Shailaja, i checked the article Dummy variable (statistics) it already has a reflist, so you dont need to worry about that, once you move your article to the main page, the references will automatically come. :) Devanshi tripathi (talk) 07:53, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

hey just check your sandbox i have corrected the error, you can make the appropriate changes for the rest :) Devanshi tripathi (talk) 12:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Article Review

hey Shailaja i went through your article, it seems good at the first look, there are no copyvios mostly but there is very close paraphrasing in certain places, please try rephrasing it, like for eg. "a dummy variable can be defined as an artificial variable constructed such that it takes the value 1 whenever the category it represents occurs, and 0 otherwise." i can understand that certain terms you would have to put as it is, but try making as many changes as possible, put everything completely in your own words.

the graphs look quite good :)

Also you have no lead section in your article, every article on Wikipedia has a lead section where you give a little introduction about the topic.so add a lead section.

I have corrected the errors in the references , just check :) But try providing more references. Some sections dont have any references at all, give more inline citations, the more references you have the better it is. i came across a minor grammatical error under the heading, "interactions among dummy variables" make sure you change that any other such error before moving it to the main page

Add a "See also" and " Further reading" section to the bottom of your page, and link your article to other wiki articles, like ANOVA, Regression analysis etc.

Apart from that it seems fine, you can move your article after making all the above mentioned changes :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devanshi tripathi (talk • contribs) 09:42, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
