Welcome! My name is The Utahraptor, and I'm one of the online ambassadors, a group of experienced Wikipedians who offer mentorship to newcomers. You don't need to read anything; you can just jump right in and try to improve Wikipedia. If you need help, you can talk with us right now, or can leave me a message on my user talk page. Have fun!

Ambassador information
[edit]Hi Wood3cm! Just a follow up to see how you're faring with the Ambassador program and your workload? A quick request.. I've got to tag your userpage with some information, so could you provide me with the Project you're working with and the class? Thanks! Dusti*poke* 06:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hey! The project I'm working on is United States Public Policy and my specific article is Civil liberties in the United States. The shortcut for my class is WP:USPP/C/11/PTE. Let me know if you need any other information! Wood3cm (talk) 05:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, my name is Kim and I looked over your article and did some minor editing to it. I think that it may need a little more information on Equal Protection even though it has a separate page. It looks good though! Great job so far! Kimberly wymer (talk) 18:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Mentoring
[edit]Hi there, Sross contacted me and asked me to take User:The Utahraptor's place mentoring you (the user is apparently semi-retired). It looks like Cindy Allen is your professor and that this page says that you're working on Civil liberties in the United States? Have you edited Wikipedia before this? It would be extra work for you, but you may step through my Adoption courses if you'd like -- they are a fairly comprehensive overview of how things work. You can find them at User:Banaticus/Adoption if you're interested. If you'd like any further help, contact me on my user talk page or put a {{help me}} template up on your own user talk page and someone will be along to help you. :) Banaticus (talk) 01:41, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
I was a little puzzled by this edit. Why would the main article for the "right to bear arms" section be the freedom of speech article? I didn't really think it made sense so I reverted it. Let me know on my talk page, please. :) Banaticus (talk) 06:15, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't seen you around for a while, I hope everything's ok. If you'd like any further help, contact me on my user talk page or put a {{help me}} template up on your own user talk page and someone will be along to help you. :) Banaticus (talk) 19:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
 The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their September 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy editing backlog. The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles in the backlog, as we want to copy edit as many of those as possible. Please consider copy editing an article that was tagged in 2010. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". See you at the drive! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |
