Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Thanks for the note Stuart. The fine line that we are trying to tread is that the frequently cited website is an important new research source, digitally available. I'm aiming for what is referred to in point 2 under How Not to be a Spammer at WP:SPAMMER. Connecting to the site from existing Wn articles enhances those articles. E.g. the link added on Samuel Marsden re. vineyards in NZ. I can link that to the journal page where the quote comes from (though I need to correct it, I now realise). thoughts?TeUareTaoka (talk) 00:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Graham ☺ | Talk 11:01, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for welcoming me. I posted a question about WikiProjects in the Teahouse as you suggested. Eveross1 (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stedel (talk) 19:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC) I hope I'm posting this correctly and to the right place. I have attempted to post an article about myself a couple of times and it has been deleted. If you do a simple search for my name, Stephen Mendel, you will find me listed as a cast member of many films and television shows. Of note is the inclusion of my name (appropriately and correctly) in the cast list of the TV show Night Heat although without an active link. Other cast members who do not have my body of work do have active links to their own pages. Either approve my page and leave it alone or go through those other names and many others you will find in Wikipedia and remove all of those. Please respond to me at: stephen_mendel@hotmail.com.[reply]

Hello Stedel. Inclusion in Wikipedia isn't predicated on the number of roles or the size of a body of work. Inclusion is dependent on in depth coverage in reliable third party sources. Without such third party sources, your quest for an article is unlikely to be successful. Rest assured, I regularly go thorugh names and consider them for deletion.

The Help Project Newsletter	Issue VI - April 2013
Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on.	Other news The Article Feedback Tool (v5) has now been changed to be opt-in for all pages. It can be enabled for specific pages by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 to them. There are also a number of new features. It has been proposed to merge the questions forum of the New contributors' help page into the Teahouse. Discussion is taking place here. The help menu at Help:Contents/Browse and its subpages have been largely cleaned up. User:Moxy has created a descriptive help directory. A project on Video and Interactive Tutorials has begun, supported by a Wikimedia Foundation grant. Suggestions for subjects are invited on the talk page.
If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. Suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. the wub "?!" 16:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High .

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

Thanks for my WikiKitten! It's much appreciated. TheOneSean ^{[ U | T | C ]}

Hi, Ive tried my best to condense a huge ammount of information to just a few sentences. I believe the information was an accurate synopsis of the very detailed research. Rather than just delete it, which is not very helpful, can you say what you found inaccurate or wrong? I will try to get back to it and fix any errors when I have time. Thanks for your interest and help.

Hi ! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sarah Ann Cripps is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Ann Cripps until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

You cannot just revert without some sort of explanation. I have 2 sections of information relating to my edits on land in "talk".You need to read that. Anyone who doesn't realise land is at the heart of Maori culture should not be editing that article."doesnt belong here "is a totally pointless and wrong statement. It seems to me you have little knowledge of the topic to write this. Land is at the very heart of Maori culture. Cultural attitudes to land did not stay static. The period of most change was post 1864. Go onto the talk page and argue your point that information about land doesnt belong in an article about Maori culture. I will be really interested to see them.

First of all, you tried to take Vic's article down because you thought he didn't deserve it. But now, that everyone disagreed with your claim, you're trying to remove most of the information? Vic just confirmed on his Facebook page that everything is accurate, except for the birthplace, which I would have gladly fixed.

Look at Vic's reply to Dave Dub Frank's comment: https://www.facebook.com/VicComedy/posts/404121206430783

What do you have against Vic that you want to take him down in the first place? Plus, now that his notability is confirmed, you're editing down his information. If the source is straight from the subject's mouth, it's reliable in my opinion.

Also, Vic is no longer a "bus driver." We don't need that in the first paragraph.

• Hello Stuartyeates:

This week's voting for TAFI's upcoming weekly collaboration has begun at Week 20 of 2015. Thanks for participating!

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
