Hi Plcoopr, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Ed, a recent college graduate and an editor here. As cliché as it sounds (try not to roll your eyes), Wikipedia is created by the collective contributions of regular people just like you, so I'm excited to work with you during the semester!

If you need any help, a visit to our Help:Contents page may be able to give you a swift answer. If it doesn't, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page (click "new section" for a new post, or "edit" to reply to an older post) or ask your question on this page and place {{Helpme}} before the question. No question to me is too small, as I'm all too aware that this can be a ridiculously complex website.

Your professor has also posted a helpful set of links on your course page under "Resources".

I don't want to burden you with even more pages to read (I'm sure your classes have assigned you enough reading for a lifetime), so just remember:

• Help:Contents is your link to Wikipedia's extensive collection of help pages.
• You can usually type "WP:___" in the search bar to find what you want. For example, if you wanted to find out what a talk page is, searching for WP:TALK is pretty simple.
• If those don't work, don't panic. That's what I'm here for. Leave me a message and I'll see what I can do.

Good luck! I hope you enjoy your editing here—at least as much as any student can enjoy a class assignment!—and I encourage you to continue editing after your class ends.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or 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 they said it.

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

In cases like this, you are, however, usually permitted the following course of action:

• Create a new account - you may need to request an account if account creation from your IP is blocked.
• On the userpage of the new account, post a message linking your new account to this one (you can use the code {{User Previous Acct|1=Plcoopr}} to do this).
• Avoid leaving your account logged in or otherwise allowing anyone else to use it.

Your new account may be blocked for block evasion; if that happens, you can appeal the block through the new account, explaining the circumstances behind the original block of this account.

Comment There is nothing distinguishable from this user's "true edits" and the style of harassment and vandalism displayed while logged on after he began to receive the warnings. Notably his use of his user name and his use of the four tildes in the edit summaries. The permanent block is, I believe, the way to go.

Thanks for uploading File:Lisa Bonet.jpg, which you've attributed to pagerank. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

Suggest you have a look at WP:DCM. You need to find out who holds the copyright (often the photographer, but he may have sold the copyright to someone else - a web site owner, book publisher, etc.). Then whoever is the copyright holder has to send in the form at WP:CONSENT to the indicated address. Alternatively (for web sites), the web site owner (assuming (s)he holds the copyright) can place one of the following licenses.- CC-BY-SA; CC-BY; PD (not a good one - better to have CC-0 instead) - for example here's one web site I know has a page just to show the pictures and the appropriate CC-BY-SA license logo so they may be used on Wikipedia, if suitable - http://www.robbieglover.com/wp-content.htm - although not all are suitable as they are photos of other copyright objects (newspapers) - copyright law is complicated!  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:37, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-31T20:37:00.000Z","author":"Ronhjones","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ronhjones-2013-03-31T20:37:00.000Z-Copyrighted_Images","replies":[]}}-->

Hi Plcoopr! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

Hello, Plcoopr,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Peretz P. Friedmann should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peretz P. Friedmann .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
