Hello, Cmriley3. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

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.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
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. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Progress

You're off to a great start Cmriley3! You were able to create an account, send me a talk page message, and enroll in the course. Now all you have to do is to write something about yourself on your user page! Crtew (talk) 15:36, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

First tasks

 Partly done was changed to  Done because you did them all! One suggestion is that you add links to your user page. I did this with University of Southern Indiana on your user page. Can you do this to Journalism by adding two brackets before and after the term that has an article. Crtew (talk) 02:22, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Adopt a journalist project

José Galvez (photojournalist): Articles for Creation, Wikipedia:WikiProject California

You're assigned the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service that was won by the Los Angeles Times and the first ever for Latino journalists. You can edit José Galvez (photojournalist) (click here to edit) and include a photo of him for a future digital photography assignment.

This project is affiliated with WikiProject Journalism and WikiProject Freedom of speech and is conducted by a university course that is participating in Wikipedia:Education program.Crtew (talk) 03:45, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
