<p>Rrsoto: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Media:Example.ogg]]<br /> <br /> ==Questions about assignment 1==<br /> <br /> Hello. I started this topic in case anybody had questions about the first assignment. In fact, I have a couple questions myself!<br /> <br /> # How does one determine what a 'substantial' edit is to a wikipedia entry? Say for instance I add a link to a news article about a topic. Is that considered 'substantial'?<br /> #*On the [[Assignment_1_Details_and_Reporting|Assignment 1 Details and Reporting page]], substantial is described the following way: '''''edits should be more than cosmetic and should actually enhance the substance of the article'''.'' <br /> # How many edits should we make in order to complete the assignment successfully?<br /> # Do we need to send the instructors the final report via email or do we just do just file everything under the 'Assignment 1 Reporting' section? <br /> #* I think the best case scenario is to get feedback from wikipedia and be edited yourself, then end up in a collaborative process.

Nobody is contesting my edits so I'm looking for a high traffic site to mess with -but the big topics don't have the edit tab. Any advice? I am obviously the least tech savvy student in class. Throw me a bone here.<br /> <br /> [[User:Dpanzar|Dpanzar]] 05:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> * If you aren't signed into an account then a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy#semi semi-protected] page will not be editable. If this isn't the case then what is it that you see when you go to a major unprotected page? For example, today's Featured Article is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Duncan Tim Duncan] and it is completely unprotected. Is there no edit option at the top of this page? --[[User:Ari|Ari]] 05:53, 5 February 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :* I'm a logged in user, but I also cannot edit semi-protected pages, such as Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft. Any idea why? -- [[User:JoshK|JoshK]] 07:42, 5 February 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::* To edit these pages you need to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_access_levels#Autoconfirmed_users autoconfirmed]. &quot;The precise requirements for autoconfirmed status vary according to circumstances: for most users on en.wiki, accounts which are more than 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits are considered autoconfirmed. However, users editing through a Tor network are subjected to much stricter autoconfirmed thresholds: currently 90 days and 100 edits.&quot; Are you using Tor? --[[User:Ari|Ari]] 17:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::* Ahh, I have not been a user for 4 days, and have not yet made 10 edits. That's why! Thanks! --~Josh (Sorry if I hijacked the question).--[[User:JoshK|JoshK]] 08:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)</div>
