4/16/09 I am posting an article on Susan B. Neuman, literacy researcher/educator and Professor of Educational Studies at University of Michigan. Susan Neuman has conducted extensive research in the field of early literacy education and published many books and articles on this topic. She meets noteability guidelines on several levels; most significantly, Neuman served as US Assistant Secretary of Elementary and Secondary Education during the recent Bush Administration and was responsible for initial implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act. I am a "newbie" to WIKI-authoring so I would appeciate support and advice from WIKI-veterans in launching this new piece. -- JourneyWomanSLP ( talk) 14:03, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi! When you start an alumni section, please add a source that states that the person went to that school. Also if that person doesn't have a Wikipedia article, please add another source that states why the person is notable. Thanks WhisperToMe ( talk) 08:24, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
5/5/09 Made some edits to spelling in refs section. This article needs {{help}} with the duplicated references. Not sure how to eliminate the duplicate references. JourneyWomanSLP ( talk) 03:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

There are lots of ways to do this, some are simple, some more complex.
Personally, I like using citation templates, and fill in as much as I possibly can; maybe a bit more work, but I think it looks better. You have a <REF> at the start, then a suitable cite tag, then </REF>. An example usage is;
<ref> {{Citation | last = Preston | first = Peter | title = D. H. Lawrence in the modern world | last2 = Hoare | first2 = Peter | author2-link = | publication-date = 1989 | edition = illustrated | place = [[Cambridge]], [England] | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 | url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=J5nRoaOwkPMC&printsec=frontcover#PPA125,M1 | accessdate = 2008-05-11 }} </ref>
For all the possible things to include, see Template:Citation
Of course, you don't have to put everything in, just whatever you can. The above example is a book, but I've included a 'convenience link' to a website that displays it.
Then, at the end of the document (but before any 'category' tags), you need a references section. You just put,
== References == {{reflist}}
Hard work? - help is at hand. There are lots of tools that create cite tags automagically. Personally, I use Zotero for the web links, and the cite book generator for books.
I also recommend you look at other articles and copy from them - especially featured articles, which should have good refs.
Hope this help, cheers, Chzz ► 04:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia, I can see you're helping us with a number of useful edits --thank you. Just wanted to mention that you don't need to sign with the four tildes in your edit summaries. They don't format as a signature, instead it just shows four tildes. Other than that, keep up the great work. -- Bobak ( talk) 16:39, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
