Hello, Crseifert. 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 you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

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.

First steps

Greetings Chris. I'm so glad you've selected course as you explore your major. You're off to a good start as you have created an account, enrolled in the course and messaged me. I'm wondering, however, if you forgot to save your user page? Write a brief bit of information about yourself for the Wikipedia community and be sure to use your editing skills from the tutorial, such as creating a bulleted list of interests and some wikilinks to articles.

Assignment

You have been assigned to expand upon and perfect the currently assessed stub article of French-language, crime journalist Michel Auger of Canada. He wrote a book called The Biker Who Shot Me: Recollections of a Crime Reporter, and it looks to me like that may be where the current non-referenced information in the article originates. However, you can also independently source the information in the article from other publications and the press. He has won some important awards in journalism but his Wikipedia article is not good. There is also a French language Wikipedia article about him that is no better (but might have some further clues). French Work on the article here: User:Crseifert/Michel Auger Crtew (talk) 01:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
