JAtwan09

My name is Jeffrey. I will be graduating from Azusa Pacific University in May of 2013. I look forward to what is to come from my work with Wikipedia.

I am working on adding information to the Pico Iyer Page on Wikipedia. I will be primarily working on adding information about Mr. Iyer related to his Book "The Global Soul". There is not a great deal of information on this Author or Book so I look forward to the opportunity to change that. The idea of belonging to a "global soul" and relating to the idea of "home" is constantly changing as individuals and families continue to travel more. Our world is becoming increasingly diverse and in order for one to maintain an identity in that where they "come from" it is important to understand Iyer's writing and approach to this conundrum.

Please stay in contact with me, communicating on how I can make this an even better page.

Re: Sandbox concern

Hi, Jeffrey!

No worries about your sandbox; content will stay there until you remove it or move it into the article namespace. Where did a tutorial tell you it would clear out every 12 hours? JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 21:04, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Global Soul Peer Review

Hi! What you've written on the page for The Global Soul looks great. The only suggestion that I would have is to put the relevant reviews in a source section or something similar. Again, good job! Eliray11 (talk) 00:19, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
