Nikki Haley, the US Ambassador to the U.N.

Hi, I am a freshman student in a women and gender studies class at the University of Louisville. I really love politics and the psychology of human drives and motivations. I spend most of my time reading, studying, or doing something outdoors. In my class, I am particularly interested in the Motherhood Penalty and the portrayal of women politicians in media.

List of articles I am considering:

1. Women in Government
2. Motherhood Penalty
3. Gender Roles

Annotated Bib for work in Women and Government

WIKI CODE reminders

Now type in the <ref> tag before your reference and type </ref> after your reference. Wikipedia's software will automatically add your inline reference number.

Most of the time you'll use the Visual Editor, but if you want to edit a Talk page (found at the upper-left of every Wikipedia article) or make changes in source editing mode, you'll need to learn a little Wikicode.

The wiki code for bold text is like this:

'''bold''' = bold

Creating a wikilink (that is, a link to another article on Wikipedia) looks like this:

[[bold]] = bold

On the English Wikipedia, that link to the article bold will redirect you toEmphasis (typography). To link to an article with a different name than the text, put a | (a “pipe”, inserted with ''shift + '' on most keyboards) in between the code and the word you want to appear on the page. Like this:

[[boldness|bold]] = bold (with the link to Boldness)

If someone leaves a reply or tags you with a question, you should respond.

Open up the page just as you would open up an article to edit. Underneath the comment you're responding to, type a colon (:). Each : will indent your response deeper into the conversation. So if you respond to a response, use two colons, etc.

It is crucial that you sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~) to automatically mark it with your username and a timestamp.

To get a specific user's attention, you can “ping” them by writing {{ping|Username}} on a Talk page, which will send them a notification. Some Wikipedians have hundreds, or even thousands, of pages on their Watchlists so this is a good way to get their attention.

If you're addressing a user on their Talk page, they will be notified whether or not you ping them. If you're addressing a user on your own Talk page or an article Talk page, you'll need to ping them.

Remember to sign your message!

If you want some practice, try introducing yourself to another Fellow on their Talk page. To find it, go to the Editors tab and click on the username of the Fellow you'd like to leave a message. Then click Talk in the upper-left corner of their userpage.
