History of Books Article
editI'm not quite sure I understand what the recommendation you were given is supposed to mean, as there is a pretty stark difference between prose and timeline. What you should really do is read proseline page to get an understanding of this difference (and to see a textbook example of what happens when the two are muddied. Look at the page for the death of Gaddafi to see a recent example of proseline. Prose is always preferred, so I'm assuming that's what the person who made the comment meant.Gabby.resch (talk) 02:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Welcome
editHi, Jen, and welcome to both Wikipedia and INF1001! Regarding your question about uploading a photo, you will first need to set up an account on Wikimedia Commons to upload the pic. Once logged in there, you can upload on this page. Follow the directions there to access your photo. In order to post it to your user page, you can check out the markup on my user page (by clicking edit at the top) and using the same little snippet of code that produces the pic on my page, changing it appropriately for your file of course. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Here are some pages that you might find useful:

- How to write a great article
- Help pages

If you're new to U of T, the best cheap, fresh coffee is at the Campus General Store across the street from Bissell (80 cents if you bring a mug), the great halls in University College and the Hart House library are the best and most serene places to read, and the two most important people to get to know at the Faculty of Information are Christine Chan at the front desk, and Aida, the cleaning lady.--Gabby.resch (talk) 21:08, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Survey
editHi Jen!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
