Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Sandbox
editHi, it appears you tried to make your own sandbox at JPurdyWNC/Sandbox. I have moved it to User:JPurdyWNC/Sandbox, as that is the appropriate namespace for such content. Happy editing! —KuyaBriBriTalk 18:21, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Let me explain that more clearly: The page you initially created was located in what is known as the mainspace, in which all content is subject to community scrutiny, including but not limited to verifiability, notability, and neutral point of view. Pages in your userspace (i.e., those that begin with "User:JPurdyWNC/") are subject to far less community scrutiny, but not zero scrutiny, and are the appropriate venue for experimenting. Again, I hope you enjoy editing, and feel free to ask for help from me, from your mentor, or at the help desk. —KuyaBriBriTalk 18:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. There is no need to sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.

DYK for Wilma Dykeman RiverWay Plan
edit | On 30 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Wilma Dykeman RiverWay Plan, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Wilma Dykeman RiverWay Plan (pictured) is a 17-mile greenway system designed to encourage economic development and multi-modal transportation along the French Broad River? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
