Welcome to Wikipedia! I am one of the Online Ambassadors that will be working with your class. We are available to help you with questions on editing Wikipedia and interacting with other Wikipedians. We will also be reviewing your work and offering suggestions. You can contact me by leaving a message on my talk page, User talk:Donald Albury. You can also send me an e-mail by going to my user page (User:Donald Albury) or my talk page and clicking on "E-mail this user". Most days I am on-line several times during the day, so I should be able to respond within a few hours. I will also at times be on IRC as "dalbury". Remember, if you leave a message or comment on a talk page (either a user's talk page or an article talk page), to sign your comment with four tildes (~~~~). -- Donald Albury (talk) 12:01, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Good job setting up your userpage! Awadewit (talk) 01:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
You're fine What happened is this: Back in 2009, somebody else edited the talk page for the article about teddy bears (which is at talk:teddy bear.) That edit was deleted because it was complete nonsense. It's completely fine for you to come along and add appropriate content to that talk page: a bibliography, outline of changes, questions that you have, etc. Go ahead and add whatever content you want. I'm editing it right now, so when you get there, something will exist. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Courtney,
You'll see the beginning of some Children's Museum resources listed here. There aren't too many for teddy bears other than the IMCPL images. I'm working with curators to see if there are more articles or resources around the museum. There used to be a case that was all about teddy bears, so they may have something specific for you. In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions. HstryQT (talk) 16:58, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! I just feel strange using kill and shoot...but I guess according to my sources it's history...I also keep see my references..any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong there? --Tourtles22 (talk) 01:57, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Tourtles22--Tourtles22 (talk) 01:57, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry I can't see, not keep my ref. I'm doing it just like it says in the quick ref book. When I went to email you, I had to sign in again and then I couldn't figure it out. I really thought I had this. I should've know better! --Tourtles22 (talk) 03:59, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Good start I see that you've been editing, so that puts you ahead of your peers--congratulations! I noticed that in the edits you made, you included text like this: [[Page title|myth]] In this example, you've created a link to the article Page title, but the word "myth" will be displayed. If you want the link to go somewhere other than the words displayed in the article, you have to be deliberate about choosing where you want them to go. I've gone ahead and changed this to being simply [[myth]]. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:05, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
