Welcome![edit]

Hello, MirrorLake23023, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi![edit]

Hi Sarah, My name is Brittney and you are the first person I've interacted with on a talk page in our course. You have visited some pretty cool places, which is inspiring. Have you ever been to Yellowstone?

:I have not, I have been to the Black Hills though and played around. They have free range camping there, so you can just choose any public land and make camp.MirrorLake23023 (talk)

Hello![edit]

Hi, MirrorLake23023 -- welcome to Wikipedia! As Ian mentioned, the Teahouse is a great resource for new editors. But did you know that Wikipedia also has an extensive help library for common questions? Of course, if you run into a question or problem, you're always welcome to get in touch with me either by email or on my talk page. Happy editing!

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject![edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 05:56, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article Peer Review[edit]

Hey Sarah! I'm sorry this is so late coming! I have had various medical issues this semester and I have been playing catch up for a while. I am in your review group for this semester and I want to encourage you to reach out to me if you need anything at all. I have quite a bit of experience with editing all sorts of writing pieces and would be happy to take a look at your finished product before it is due on Monday if you would like. I really like your topic a lot and I really learned quite a bit from the excerpt you put together. I enjoyed learning about the background in this topic as it is not something I had ever considered researching before. The factoids present in your piece are very interesting and are well integrated. The only concerns I have are with regards to the grammar and some of the word choice. A little editing is all that is needed and I think you are well on your way! Congratulations on a great piece and I look forward to reading the final Wikipedia article! Sheaalix (talk) 19:41, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
