Hello, 3076mengfrp, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Dr Mynlieff's Neurobiology course. My job here is to help you work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user.
You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me. I will respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Once again, if you need help with any aspect of Wikipedia, please just ask; it's what I'm here for. Enjoy your course! Yunshui 雲水 14:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Your userpage
editCongratulations on successfully adding an image to your userpage. However, I should point out that Wikipedia links don't work like that; what you've done is a halfway house between an internal link and an external one.
- For internal links (or wikilinks), where you want to link to another page within Wikipedia, use the following format:
[[Name of page]]. Thus, the link to Marquette University looks like this:[[Marquette University]]. You can change how the text displays using a pipe (|), like this:[[Name of page|Text to display]], thus[[Marquette University|my university]]links to the Marquette University page but displays as my university. - For external links, to sites outside Wikipedia, you only need single square brackets (or none at all).
http://example.comwill automatically create an external link to http://example.com. Enclosing in square brackets gives you a number, so this[http://example.com]results in this: [1]. Finally, you can display different text by adding it in brackets and after a space, so[http://example.com An example of an external link]renders like this: An example of an external link.
Hope that's helpful. Yunshui 雲水 14:54, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Help us improve the Wikipedia Education Program
editHi 3076mengfrp! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!
