There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

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 userpage.Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Professor XYZ! On Wikipedia I am "Madalibi". In real life I am an independent scholar (2010 PhD in East Asian Studies) who enjoys editing Wikipedia. I just wanted to let you know that I am available to help you and your students navigate any aspect of the encyclopedia, from technical questions to content policies. Please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page (by clicking on the "New section" tag on top of the page), or just to consult my user page or my contributions to Wikipedia. Your students can do the same if they need. So again, welcome, and I'm looking forward to seeing your students' contributions to this great work in progress!

- Additionally, I would like to recommend an excellent article titled "Wikis and Wikipedia as a teaching tool: Five years later", by Piotr Konieczny. Dr. Konieczny is a sociologist of new media and veteran Wikipedia editor who often uses WP to teach his students. I have often benefited from his many insights, so perhaps you will too! All the best, Madalibi (talk) 07:24, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Your input is needed

Change in your user rights
[edit]Your Wikipedia account was previously granted a user right called "course instructor" by the Wiki Education Foundation. That right enabled you to create a course page through the EducationProgram MediaWiki extension. Starting in fall 2015, the Wiki Education Foundation has discontinued its use of this extension. Going forward, users should create course pages through the Wiki Education Foundation website. That application is more user-friendly, and any content is automatically mirrored to Wikipedia. To prevent confusion, we'll be removing your "course instructor" user right, as it is not needed with the new system. This is simply a notification of the technical change to your account. No action is needed from you at this time.
If you plan on teaching with Wikipedia for the fall 2015 term, please email me (helaine
wikiedu.org) for instructions how to create your next course page using our new system. --Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk), sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
