Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:52, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Claire. Did you want me to act as your mentor or did you want Alpha Quadrant to do it? Here is a good example of an article about a law for you to look at: Alaska Mental Health Enabling Act. One very important tip: Make sure to add full citations to WP:Reliable sources to support all the statements that you make (see WP:CITE, giving author, title, date, publisher/city, page number or url). Please scan through the links in the Welcome message at the top of this page, as they will give you the background you need to get started. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Actually, it appears that Claire has teamed up with User:Sonia, but, of course I am happy to answer any questions or assist in any other way! -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:35, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Claire. Note that in addition to the above article, there is an existing article on Compulsory education. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:42, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
![]() | On 24 October 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Food Quality Protection Act, which you created or substantially expanded. 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. |

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 15:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I'll proceed with the rename if you give me the go ahead. Just let me know the exact name you decide on (or, if you prefer, your mentor can do it). The guideline recommends the shortest title that conveys the topic, as that makes it easier for a reader to find. Note also that the guideline says: "Use lower case, except for proper names". Let us know what you decide. See WP:NAME#Deciding an article title. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
I saw your article review request on Sonia's talk page and would be glad to review your article. I am one of the online ambassadors and will also be glad to help mentor you in Sonia's absence. I will be looking through the articles ASAP (I have to go offline soon). If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Cheers, Bejinhan talks 14:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of California Voting Rights Act at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! 28bytes (talk) 01:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I've read both the Food Quality Protection Act and California Voting Rights Act articles and below is my review for both.
![]() | On 18 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article California Voting Rights Act, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the California Voting Rights Act makes it easier for minority groups in California to prove that their votes are being diluted in "at-large" elections? 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. |
