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.Sincerely, Crtew (talk) 04:00, 27 August 2012 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
Play around with links
[edit]Enweaver, Welcome to Wikipedia! Go ahead and play around with wikilinks, which are links to articles inside Wikipedia. You can make a link by placing two brackets before and after an article term.Crtew (talk) 04:02, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch (talk) 16:25, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Assignment
[edit]I assign you award winning French documentary filmmaker Gwen Le Gouil (a living person) who was kidnapped in Somalia in December 2007 while making a movie about human trafficking. Please be aware that you will use the guidelines for biographies about living persons (see link). Good Luck, Crtew (talk) 02:16, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Take a look at the example article for Amanda Lindhout, a Canadian journalist who was also kidnapped in Somalia.Crtew (talk) 02:22, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Enweaver! Women around the world who edit and contribute to Wikipedia are coming together to celebrate each other's work, support one another, and engage new women to also join in on the empowering experience of shaping the sum of all the world's knowledge - through the WikiWomen's Collaborative. As a WikiWoman, we'd love to have you involved! You can do this by:
We can't wait to have you involved, and feel free to drop by our meta page (under construction) to see how else you can get involved! |
Inline refs etc.
[edit]Hi! Nice to hear from you, but I'm afraid that, as I live in England, we have a 5-6 hour time difference and I'm about to go to bed for the night. I'll be back on the computer tomorrow morning and promise to point you in the right direction and give you some examples of inline citations and how to deal with them. Best wishes! zzzzz --GuillaumeTell 23:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I'm onto your case. I'm a bit confused on what's going on on your Work in Progress page. As far as I can see (and ignoring the banners at the top and the infobox for now) you have a reasonably satisfactory opening paragraph, except that:
- assuming that G Le G is alive, his dates should be shown as (born 1975?) rather than (1975?-present)
- and there ought to be an "is" in the first line, i.e. "is a French" etc., like "Barack Obama (born whenever) is the President of the USA"...
- you need to link various words and things that aren't totally self-evident to existing Wikipedia articles, using square brackets: Arte TV, Sri Lanka (probably - but no need to link France which is a bit over the top), Somalia, maybe documentary and definitely human trafficking. Note that some of these are redirects, e.g. Arte TV redirects to Arte, and you might want to alter links to the correct Wikipedia titles. I suggest pressing the "Show preview" button down below to see if there are any red-links. If there are, you can remove the brackets around them, press Show Preview again to see that all is well and if not keep repeating until it is - then add a brief Edit summary in the Edit summary box below and press the Save page button.
OK, now the next paragraph ("Assigned ...") shouldn't be part of the finished article, but you can leave it there for now if you like. I'm not clear why the blue "Living Person" has been stuck into this para - it only needs to be used (IMO) as a Category when you're finishing the article off.
Now, on to inline refs. You have a list of refs, supplied, I assume, by Prof Tew. What you need to do is to click the first ref ([1] - (Frontline)), read the stuff that's there and decide what, if anything, should go into the article. Make sure that it goes under the correct heading (click the Edit button alongside the heading). Don't copy and paste the whole thing, just paraphrase the important bits and include any nice quotes that fit the situation. When you've done that to your satisfaction (keep pressing the Show Preview button as above, then Save), then click the Edit link on the right of your article title (Editing User:Enweaver/Gwen Le Gouil), then scroll down to the Frontline section, cut everything from the tags <refname> to </ref>, including those tags. Paste this at the end of the paragraph that you created, and there’s your inline ref – press Show Preview again to see that everything looks OK, then make alterations and press Show Preview again and so on until you Save page.
If you want to use the same ref in another place in the article, there’s no need to do anything except copy and paste the ref again where you need it. Prof Tew used “refname” for each of the refs, which means that the ref number will be the same as the previous one, and the Reflist will show “a”, “b”, etc. to show where the ref links to.
I hope that you can understand all of the above. Let me know if you have any problems. I'll go into how to add another reference later tonight or tomorrow. Best. --GuillaumeTell 21:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Lmhorn1 Peer Review
[edit]You have done a really good job on your notability statement, and you have a lot of great references to work from. I noticed you had missing information for the career, context, and reactions section of the article. Those were the hardest part for me when I was doing my own article. Also, you need to cite the sentence you have in regards to the Sri Lanka video. Other than that the only suggestion I have is to include links to other relevant Wiki pages in your article; for instance maybe one to the Audierne Bay article and one to the Albert Londres Prize. That might help give more background information to readers. Great start so far!--Lmhorn1 (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Dtisham Peer Review
[edit]What you have so far is very good! However, you do need to fill out the information on the career, context, and reactions sections. Expand on what you do have, and give the reader more information. I think once you get that information in the article with citations from verifiable sources, it will be excellent. Keep up the good work. Dtisham (talk) 20:50, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!
[edit]Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!
Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
