My name is Miranda Ramirez and I am an Urban and Regional Planning major at Texas State University. I hope to fully understand how to use Wikipedia after this course! :)Mdr87 (talk) 19:31, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello Miranda!
editMy name is Alexandra and I believe that you will better understand Wikipedia after this assignment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ale46txst (talk • contribs) 21:03, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Article Evaluation
editI moseyed on over to try and find some hilariously awful articles, and came across one called "Wikipedia: Silly Things". Here, one can reflect upon questionable articles from the past. I love that Wikipedia takes the time to see where it came from and where it is going by reliving some truly hilarious articles (although now corrected).
The only thing I think is missing from this article is a picture/pictures. I think it would benefit the viewer to physically see a picture of some of these past proclomations--or maybe even Wiki editors' reactions to them?
I also think the page could benefit from a section that has a monthly/yearly 'winner' of the worst Articles imaginable. Mdr87 (talk) 21:22, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello Miranda
editMy name's Erica and I'm also an Urban and Regional Planning major here at Texas State University. Are you also minoring in Public Administration like myself? It's nice to meet you!
Welcome!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to leave me a message or place {{Help me}}

I work with the Wiki Education Foundation, and help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment. If there's anything I can do to help with your assignment (or, for that matter, any other aspect of Wikipedia) please feel free to drop me a note. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Administrative Discretion
editThere are some issues with your live wiki page. For example, the sandbox tag was left on the page, lead of the article is missing and citations are not in the correct format. More importantly, however, evaluations on the article page itself would suggest this may better be suited for a sandbox, than an actual wiki page. You may wish to consider editing the page. --Cahk (talk) 18:07, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
