Mentoring

Hi there, glad to have you on board. I hope I can be a resource for you in getting to know Wikipedia, and with more advanced techniques when your ready for them. If you let me know what sort of articles you'll be working on, I may also be able to give some tips on writing and looking for sources. Best of luck!-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 22:07, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Those three articles definitely look like they could use some work, so if they're topics you'd be interested in, I think they're great choices. I notice immediately their need for inline referencing and reformatting, so don't be afraid to change around the way they are now, or remove old references if you find better, newer ones. One way to ensure you've made a positive change on the articles would be to do whatever needs to be to remove the warning banners at the tops of those articles. Good luck!-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 17:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Instructor Responses to Articles

Alex--The first article on food policy is too broad and not directly related to US public policy and the Clean Water Act doesn't give you a lot of opportunity to write new material. The Community Media article needs lots of work. It lacks references and needs to be written in Wikipedia style. If you feel comfortable rewriting and adding references, go for it! Some people prefer to rewrite; others are more comfortable starting with their own ideas.Marlenefine (talk) 18:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
