Hello World!
Hey, just got your note and it said you were looking for some help. Just dropping by with some suggestions. One thing you can do if your just kinda listless and don't know where to pitch in and help out is with some of our backlogged cleanup tasks. You could help categorize articles, such as those found at Category:Category needed. You could help "wikify" articles by making sure they use wikilinks properly and they are properly organized into sections. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify. There's actually a whole bunch of open tasks you can find at Wikipedia:Community portal. I hope this gives you a start. If you need more help or ideas, feel free to drop me a note anytime! --Jayron32.talk.contribs 00:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I've added the welcome screen above, which has a lot of links to useful stuff. Not quite sure what you need to know, from your question - if the welcome screen doesn't lead you to any answers, please ask something a bit more specific. Good luck! PamD (talk) 10:09, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Heh, thanks very much :). I see you're using Twinkle, so considering that you are quite new this is probably a good place to start. You may already be, but try patrolling edits from newbies contribs. Also, some other useful tools (like Twinkle) are Mike's Wiki Tool, Lupin's anti-vandal tool (I personally find this one very good) and Twinkle (which you're already using). Once you become a more established user more options will become open to you (such as rollback and huggle), but I'd suggest getting a few hundred edits first (which you're well on track to). Keep up the good work - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
I see you've edited the Communist Party of Italy article. I'm proposing this article be merged with the article on Italian Communist Party. As you've edited in the past, just wanted to let you know. Ltwin (talk) 16:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi there again StNicksRocks, just a note about talkbacks, I see you used one at User:Ltwin's talk page, but you forgot to put in a link to your talk page. Where it says, "your username" replace that with your username, so in your case "StNicksRock", to have a finished result of ((Talkback|StNicksRocks))
. Cheers - Kingpin13 (talk) 15:17, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Hehe, okay, sleep well. When you get back, you may want to request rollback, I have a feeling you'd probably get it now, but don't forget to read the links on the WP:RFPERM page. Rollback allows you to revert vandalism faster, and use tools which require you to have rollback, such as huggle. It also means you have to apologise all the time for reverting people when you accidentally click it from your watchlist ;) - Kingpin13 (talk) 07:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Just as you asked for. Use it wisely. If you abuse the rollback rights, they may be taken away at any time. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 05:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the ((copyedit)) tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 15:21, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their September 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy editing backlog. The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles in the backlog, as we want to copy edit as many of those as possible. Please consider copy editing an article that was tagged in 2010. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". See you at the drive! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |
