How to use talk pages[edit]

Hi there! I'm Worm That Turned and am mentoring Jackiewickens. I just thought that I should say hi, and that if you're lost, you can always ask questions, I know I'd be happy to help :) If you're wondering about formating of talk pages and the standard way to lay out comments, you may want to read Help:Talk page. The two most important things to know from that are indentation using :, and to sign your posts using ~~~~. Hopefully it should look something like this (The text typed in the edit box is shown on the left, and the resulting display on the right.)

How's the soup? --[[User:John]]
:It's great!! --[[User:Jane]]
::I made it myself! --[[User:John]]
Let's move the discussion to [[Talk:Soup]]. --[[User:Jane]]
:I tend to disagree. --[[User:George]]

How's the soup? --John

It's great!! --Jane

I made it myself! --John

Let's move the discussion to Talk:Soup. --Jane

I tend to disagree. --George

Anyway, if you haven't already got a mentor, I'm still available and even if you do, feel free to ask me any questions. Worm 12:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Create A Book[edit]

One of Wikipedia's features is "Create A Book." This feature is found in the left-hand navigation bar under “Print/export.” It provides a way of collecting wiki pages into a printed book format. Besides selecting individual wiki pages or articles, an entire category can be selected.

Is the “Create A Book” function something students may want to take advantage of at the end of the semester?
If some students want to create a book, should we pay extra attention and be mindful of what categories we assign when creating and/or editing articles so we can group them together by categories for easy creation of books? McMormor (talk) 16:09, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sandboxes Created[edit]

All students, undergraduate and graduate should now have a sandbox linked to their user page. The link is entitled: My Sandbox. Be bold and begin using your sandboxes to compile your research and experiment with editing in WP. Good Luck --Mike Cline (talk) 14:37, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Assignments[edit]

All students, undergraduate and graduate should decide on the Wikipedia topic(s) they are going to work on during this course by Friday, February 11, 2011. Remember, the topic can be a completely new article or and existing article that needs content work. Once decided, please add the name of the WP article(s) to the Assignment column of the student table on the course page. --Mike Cline (talk) 14:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
