Hello Dasmon, I have volunteered to be an online ambassador to help your class. You can contact me on my talk page or email me to talk about using Wikipedia. I hope you can find something worthwhile to do here.
I look forward to productive editing! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:13, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello, when you use a talk page, add your text to the bottom of the page. This makes it easier for people to notice. Also use the ~~~~ code on the end of your message to sign it so we know who is talking. For your idea of adding references, it wounds to be a worthwhile thing to do. Be careful with company web sites as they may be attempting to put a promotional slant on the information they contain. Textbooks are likely to be quite safe. Packet switching has been around for a long time so textbooks will cover it well. Academic review articles are also suitable. The idea is to get the best references, but we will still be very happy with good references. Good references will be reliable and independent. It will be possible to work out where the information came from in a reliable source. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:30, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
