Welcome![edit]

Hello, Mcgovekc, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Wikiedu: Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples[edit]

I edited Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Vanderbilt University/Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples (fall 2023), fixing a links in links lint error. If you go to page history and look at the version before my edit, you can see that the display is bollixed for Week 8, but it's fixed in my edited version. Then you edited again and restored the links in links error and messed up the display again. I fixed it again.

I encourage you or someone to copy the change back to the dashboard. I do not know how to do that.

Also please be aware that this course page violates several Wikipedia style standards:

Wikipedia style is to use bold, not ALL CAPS, for emphasis ("SUNDAY NIGHT")
Wikipedia style is to use straight (') not curly (’) apostrophes.
Wikipedia style is to use "straight quotes" not “curly quotes”. (“A perfect Wikipedia article…”)
Wikipedia style is to use logical quotes, meaning period goes inside the quote if there was a period in the original, otherwise the period goes outside the quote. You violate this, as well as the straight quote rule, in “Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia.”
Wikipedia style is to use unspaced em dash (—) or spaced en dash ( – ), not a hyphen ( - ), as a separator: (In class - Introduction to the Wikipedia assignment)

It might be a good idea for the course page to be compliant with the manual of style! —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:16, 20 September 2023‎ (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous architecture in North America[edit]

Thanks for creating this article. Could you add a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article (as outlined in pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked here)? Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:50, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
