Welcome Keellerman!

Hello, Keellerman. 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   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 userpage.

Corrected some formatting issues

Keellerman, I fixed some of the formatting problems on your page. You don't have to copy the links down twice and when you start editing you'll never have to write the references both in the article and in the reference as the latter is done automatically! When you write a reference, place ref tags around the citation. The article will have a reflist template below and it automatically will place your list of references for you at the bottom of the article. I also put the reflinks tool banner at the top of your page to generate FULL citations. Remember, I told you in the lecture that you'd never turn in bare link references to your professors or to Wikipedia! This tool saves you time by helping you to automatically turn those bare links into a citation with more details. Crtew (talk) 17:14, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Keep going!

Keellerman, You found enough reference sources from world press freedom organizations but you'll need additional sources that are from news reports. Otherwise the quality of your Wikipedia article will suffer from lack of verification and you will not be able to show significant coverage. If you noted any variations in spellings or names used for your person, you should incorporate that into your searches. Google News is the place we will start for news. From there we will go into Lexis-Nexis. Do the Google search now and don't forget that it only brings up recent events and so you'll typically have to go into archives (using the menu on the side) to go back to past articles. You know the old saying, "Yesterday's news is today's history." I have a lecture on Blackboard about how to do effective searches for your reference. Please do that now before going to then next step. Crtew (talk) 17:15, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
