Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Also, please do not move pages of your user space to wikipedia space as you did here; all that does is give other editors more work moving it back :) Again, welcome!

Your email.
editHi LC06, in the interests of openness, I'll reply to your email of 18:05 here. Firstly, no, I 'can't tell by now' that your 'class is working on a project, building a wiki page for our graduate program' which 'has been cleared by wikipedia, given its educational focus but internal ideation.' All I will 'expand on what [I] said about not copying and pasting information specifically was, that you moved your userpage into a technical space devoted, as it were, to the internal workings of WP, and not somewhere an article should be. You say 'I was taught that's how to do it- build in the sandbox and transfer over to the site to keep citations in place?; indeed, but you did not do the latter, as I say. In fact, your class should probably utilise the 'Articles for Creation' wizard; that's useful for receiving community input. Perhaps you could tell what username your tutor is editing under? Not their real name, of course. It was only a small error, easily remedied. Cheers, O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 18:19, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk page guidelines
editIn this edit to Talk:Hun School of Princeton, you added content to the top of the talk page. In general, new content on a talk page is added at the bottom, in order to maintain a linear chronological record of comments. Not a big deal; just thought I'd let you know for future reference.
