Hi DancinChica0514, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page — I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Getting a copy of your page to professor

Hi DancinChica0514. To let your professor know, you could do one of two things. Easiest would be to give him the URL of the Cruise Ship discussion page. Another way would be to print a copy of the page with your signature on it. That may not be the greatest idea, since if your teacher knows Wiki, he will know that signatures don't belong on the articles. But...this is always good to know: If you want to see an article the way you left it, click "history", then click *the date* on the line item you made the change. That's a complete copy of the page, just the way you left it.

Your next Wiki step might be to create your own user page, tho. Just click on the names of a few interesting users, until you find a page you like. By clicking the "edit" button, you can copy everything they wrote. Do an Edit > Copy, then just go to your page, and Edit > Paste it in. Most folks just do basic text, but here's a guy who's got a considerable number of other ideas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Blofeld_of_SPECTRE
