[edit] Alison Miller

Professor Gallian, thanks for creating the article on Alison Miller. One particularly important and simple thing you can do when creating articles is to create a wikilink to important topics. For example, in the Miller article, you can put double brackets around Putnam Competition: [[Putnam Competition]]. This will create a blue link: Putnam Competition. If no article exists on the topic (or perhaps because its title is spelled differently), a red link will be created. To minimize the number of edits, you may wish to use the "Preview" option to see if the link is blue or red. If the topic is important enough but doesn't seem to have an article, you should keep the red link as it will be used by other editors to create the article (by clicking on it). --C S 07:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
