2014 Another One Problem: not linked from other pages

2014 Wrote a page for her advisor Also an ACM Fellow

2014 Figured out how to add a picture Pictures must be added to Wikimedia and be public

2014 But still figuring things out There is a format for URL

2014 Page edited and flagged by others quickly Edited by Smileguy91 in One Minute!

2014 How to write a Wikipedia page  First, Get an account and edit pages  Copy a template to get started and fill it in.  Search for the name you want the title of the page to be, click on it

2014 How to Write a Wikipedia Page (2)  To put in a picture they (or you can for them) put a picture of them in Wikimedia  Write facts and try to find sources to confirm those facts −News release announcing ACM Fellows −Don’t cut and paste from webpages!  Link from other pages to their page  Use standard format for references

2014 Fixed Mary Jane Irwin’s Page rewrote and cut much of what was copied from her web page and added refererences
