[edit] New Semester, new victims.... er.... students!
Registration for the teachers' course Im teaching closes Monday Jan 28. I certainly wont have the numbers I had last semester but the contributions these students will make will be more substantial. I learned from last time to have students start contributing SOMETHING in some way to Wikipedia as soon as possible, even if they haven't learned all the protocols. So those of you who want to help out should see action a whole lot sooner than last time.
Ill have the student's usernames up hopefully by Tues or Wednesday of next week. Thelmadatter (talk) 00:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Scroll down a bit to find the table.

| Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discuss•edits) | Justin Lai | Do I speak Spanish? No sè! Neither am I experienced in many of the general categories of Wikipedia (yet).

I usually do edits on layout, spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and de-advertising on everything else. So if any of you need help, be sure to drop me a call here.
