Hi,<br>Yep I do find both of those videos too basic (<a href="http://www.howcast.com/videos/317521-How-To-Edit-a-Wikipedia-Article">http://www.howcast.com/videos/317521-How-To-Edit-a-Wikipedia-Article</a> and <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/wikipedia-video">http://www.commoncraft.com/wikipedia-video</a>). I get the nuts and bolts of how to click around, I know basic html when I see it, and I remember neutral tone and proper citations from college and time in publishing (but gotta love a video on the internet that explains that you need an internet connection). The Howcast referenced the Wiki:Cite page, which I then find confusing because I don&#39;t get when to use each citation method. <br>
<br>A Strunk &amp; White version of the rules is what I need! There&#39;s so many women in publishing, that could be a good group to target for women on Wiki involvement, as someone said before. I just need to know how wiki editing is similar and different from AP Style, for example.<br>
<br>I would also be interested in a video that explains the community, which is both one of the primary barriers and primary motivations I have for participating. I didn&#39;t know about barnstars and awards, for example. Then I eventually found this Editor Assistance page (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance</a>) which looks like something handy-- I didn&#39;t know there was a place to ask for help. Then, what are user talk, user boxes, who gives awards, who are some key figures (Jimbo, etc), what is the user/editor/moderator relationship, and what are some things that can happen once I start editing and interacting. That&#39;s what a video would be handy for. It all feels like trying to get into Lost in the last season-- all these time tunnels and smoke monsters that I couldn&#39;t trace to their original form if I tried.<br>
<br>Sadly, I see no meet ups in Portland or Mexico City, yet...<br><br>Thanks,<br>Carissa<br><br>
