Open Access Week

Hi Grumpator, thanks for joining in with the OA Week editathon! It's great that you're contributing. A couple of your edits to the Institutional repository article added external links into the body of the article's main text; I know this makes intuitive sense for a reader who wants to follow a link to the subject, but it's Wikipedia best practice to only use external links in references or a separate 'External links' section. Links within the body of the main article text are generally reserved for Wikilinks.

I thought I'd leave you a message here rather than just reverting the edits because I know it can be a be off-putting when that happens! Thanks again, and enjoy the rest of the editathon. - Lawsonstu (talk) 19:44, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Grumpator, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.
