Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your userpage.Sincerely, Crtew (talk) 01:52, 10 September 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
First tasks
[edit]You did it! You got a later start than the others but if you keep up now you shouldn't have any problems. My one suggestion is that you concentrate again on the tutorial, Wikipedia:Training/For_students, as you need to know how to do more with editing, such as create sections, lists, and make wikilinks to articles.

Adopt a journalist project
[edit]Tjnichols, You are assigned Assassination of Vietnamese journalists in the United States. This is a bit different than a bio on one journalist. Instead of covering one person in depth, you are giving an overview of the phenomenon and why it happened all over the country (Virginia, Texas, California). It looks like you will not have to do an infobox but you can use that time to research the breadth of the topic. Crtew (talk) 01:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Second tasks
[edit]Tjnichols, You have successfully run the reflinks tool and your sources are in good shape! Crtew (talk) 15:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Peer Review
[edit]Tjnichols, your page is looking really good. My first piece of advice would be for the list of Vietnamese journalists at the top of your page. The dates in the list don't all have the same format, one's month/day/year and the others are day/month/year. I would make them all the same so it's more pleasing to the eye. Second, under the Deaths heading, you say there are five journalists killed but there is only four headings of journalists and I noticed you snuck the fifth under a different person's heading. Even if you don't have that much info on him, still make a heading for him so all five are equal. Third, just proof read the article again. There are a few misplaced commas, but nothing major. I could always hunt you down in class and give you a list of grammatical mistakes I found. Other than that your research is looking well develop! Knsledge (talk) 18:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
