Uptan

Welcome!

Hello, Uptan, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:11, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

class evaluation

Hello, I'm your peer reviewer for class. Vera Mae Green looks good. I think you could add in more links to other wiki pages. Maybe expand on what exactly a Carribeanist is. On the ABA website http://aba.americananthro.org/vera-mae-green-1928-1982/ there's a list of her work and it may be worthwhile to look them up online and get a better feel for her expertise and areas of interest within Carribbean cultures. Also the information in the sections you have now area bit repetitive but I think with more research that should no longer be so apparent. Bd7941a (talk) 20:24, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

External links

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that external links should be placed at the bottom of articles, not at the top.★Trekker (talk) 09:47, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

A page you started (Vera Mae Green) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Vera Mae Green, Uptan!

Wikipedia editor Blythwood just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I've also cited an obit in an academic journal.

To reply, leave a comment on Blythwood's talk page.

Brief quotes on notable biographies

Hi Uptan, Quotes can and are being used in articles. I brought a link where you may read about the use of quotes in articles. See here:[1] If you need any help, or have any questions please contact me on my talk page. Antonioatrylia (talk) 17:30, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I've always been told that they should generally be avoided, huh, the more you know.★Trekker (talk) 17:32, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
