[edit] Wilkes University Help
Sure Hamish, I'd love your help with the page. I can help you out with the editing where you need it. Give it a shot on your own first, it will help you learn alot. Take a look at Lehigh University page. It's mostly my work and that of one other, so its a good example of how I would like to see it setup. If you mess something up, don't worry about it, just revert the edits you inadvertantly made. Let me know what you need, I truly appreciate your help!

I'm in year 10 now, now I know your interests what I will do is on the page above I will write a small exert of something to do with Modern Warfare but in it I will include both grammatical errors and Wikipedia orientated errors, and for practice you can go through it and correct it does that sounds ok? I'll wait for your answer before I proceed with the above. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 16:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I meant I'd write something on the page above for you to improve. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
What do you mean by "I'll make a new page" In what context are you referring to? But I have done it now on the page above, its ready for your attention now. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Great guns! I have included some other stuff on the page that is worth checking out. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Do you know how to use your "Watchlist"? Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok nice one, top right of your screen will have these next to each other
* Hamishmackellar * My talk * My preferences * My watchlist * My contributions * Log out
Sorry for belated reply as I was having my tea. You click on the watchlist and in that every article you edit is entered into it, also all the articles you edit when someone else edits it this will show up in your watchlist so to find out when I have posted something on our page you can find it in that, if you dont understand thats no sweat just message me again. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 18:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Bang on, Yes thats exactly what it is, the best way on Wikipedia to see who's been doing what on your pages. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 18:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
So what article do you want to edit first as a practice? Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 19:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Well done mate, it looks good. By the way in edit summary userboxes you dont need to put the four tildes in the box :) Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 18:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Whatever you want to, Wikipedia is your oyster. Your adoption period is not over but you should type anything your interested in, in the search box. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 18:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey sorry I didnt Email you I only saw it today in last lesson at school so I thought I might as well leave it until I get home, on Wikipedia be wary of some users as a minority hate editing but love pushing Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) I hate NPOV but it has to be done so thats why I made you aware of it in that fake article, also when you get this message we will set up another fake article but this time using citations (If you dont know what they are thats fine, I'll tell you all about them later when we do it on our page), anyway how did the editing go on the article you chose?

[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
