Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. Seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Crtew (talk) 23:23, 10 January 2012 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
My journalist!

Hello I am a college student at USI.
Adopt a journalist
[edit]I'm writing my first article about Shukri Abu al-Burghul, a journalist from Syria. Here are some of the references I have found:

First search
[edit]Ok, i put the work here on your main page. We'll use this for points, comments and questions. Here's an article one Wikpedia's sister project that will give you some more cites. Do not count the article itself as a reference but look the sources before for relveant ones that you do not have and copy the bare links of the articles. I think you're missing mentions. Here it is:

alternative spellings
[edit]I'll bet you anything there are alternative ways to spell his name! That's mostly why you're not finding everything. Easy to fix. Find more spellings by searching part of the name with part of what you know about him. Crtew (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Search
[edit]Search for "Syria Burghol". Crtew (talk) 19:43, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
LexisNexis
[edit]When you search Lexis/Nexis, you'll need to control for the date as many recent articles that mention the two western journalists will also mention in passing Burghol/Burghul. The problem is those recent articles do not add anything. The EU condemned his murder in mid January, and so you'll want to pick that up.Crtew (talk) 18:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Lexis-Nexis
[edit]Do your Lexis-Nexis search before you create your sandbox page. Crtew (talk) 01:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]Write your lead before you create your sandbox page. Crtew (talk) 01:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
