User talk:Nmora052/sandbox

Hey guys, my name is Nathalia! This is my sandbox, which I am going to use to practice edits and writing articles before I actually start doing the real stuff because I am still super confused and have no idea how to do this! But I am super excited! And I am still super confused OMG!

@Nmora052: Hah! Don't worry, you'll get less confused over time. The absolute best thing you can do is to link up with other students who seem to know what is going on. They will be your best source of support and understanding with this whole thing. Good luck! Alfgarciamora (talk) 12:40, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being bold is important on Wikipedia.

Prof Garcia's Comments

Week 2

A nice job with the pop tart page, Nathalia. Did you see that somebody responded to your comment? Your answers to the content gap questions were pretty mediocre, however. In the future, please dedicate more time to answering the questions more fully. Alfgarciamora (talk) 20:57, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Alfgarciamora: Thank you, professor Garcia! I just noticed that the person responded. I will make sure to dedicate more time to my answers, thanks for the advice! Nmora052 (talk) 23:00, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Week 6

I understand the frustration, when I type in the name of my character on Google Scholar, nothing shows up, nothing at all! Here's what I ended up doing:

•Look at your role sheet, is there anything important (building, event, city, person) that is somehow impacted by your person? Take a look at those articles, you might find things to add.

•Instead of searching the name of your person, search people relative to your person.In my research for example, all the information that I have found (in English) about my person, has been while searching his son's name.

What I'm saying is to stop searching for his name specifically, and look around him, anything related to him, and you'll start finding little details here and there. Good Luck!

@Nmora052: I think that Liliana has offered some really great suggestions. Try to do those things: look at the sources AROUND your character rather than just searching your character itself. There is a lot out there, you just have to be creative in your searching. If you still hit a roadblock, you can look for related pages to your character. I've said this several times in class and in emails, so I am surprised that you are only looking at your character. Your character is merely your beginning location. Look at stuff all around him and add to those pages as well. Alfgarciamora (talk) 13:29, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Alfgarciamora: @Alilykat: Thanks for the advice! I feel like I have a better understanding of what to do now because this roadblock really sidetracked me and I just did not understand how to approach the situation. I am going to start researching more things now! Nmora052 (talk) 18:34, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments and concerns

@Alfgarciamora: It has become pretty obvious that I am still struggling to figure out how all of this works. I have done so much research on Saint-Just, however, I keep failing at finding any types of articles, books, videos, etc. about him that contains new information. I am failing the class and I just need some suggestions on what I should do because at this rate I feel like I might just be wasting time. Do you have any recommendations? I have tried doing everything Liliana has recommended, but I guess the article might be updated to it's fullest. Nmora052 (talk) 23:11, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
