Curiosity

Hi and sorry for bothering you. I stumbled upon your userpage and was quite confused: usually, userpages contain bits of info about users, but yours seems to be about some kind of a project...
Don't get me wrong, this is just curiosity, but might I ask what this project is exactly about? Thanks. ;) Salvio ( ^{Let's talk 'bout it!}) 00:55, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey Salvio: I'm a college professor, and I was using that page to teach my students how to post to Wikipedia and keep track of their efforts. It just seems like a shame that so many people rely on Wikipedia but are never taught to contribute back. I'd like to change that. Claystu (talk) 12:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
