{{helpme}}

Looking for some guidance.... I've downloaded Mediawiki and started a website...beta version may be found at: yadabyte.org I've been inspired by the collaboration present in all wiki projects, working on a masters, want to take it a step further than encyclopedic entries and collaborate toward apolitical social action. To get off the ground, I need to build a cadre of trustworthy people before opening it up to the world. Wikipedia is the obvious place to look.

So my question is, how do I obtain help for this project from members of the Wiki community without stepping on toes, appearing to try to steal from wiki...?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Honestly, I don't know if there is a mechanism for you to do any such thing here. You could try posting at the village pump I suppose, but I imagine most Wikipedians would want a few more details before signing on. You could also try Meta, which is a wiki-coordination website.I'll leave the helpme template up for now in case anyone else has any better suggestions. Beeblebrox (talk) 08:04, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Of course, this talkpage might now be WP:CSD'able as promoting another entity on Wikipedia ... (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:43, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Precisely my point! It's hard to rally support for another wiki when Wikipedia doesn't allow outside links.YadaWonk1 (talk) 17:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

On point, Meta is going to be your best bet - if they can't help out, they will probably be better able to at least point you in the right direction. As for this page being speedied, meh - no need. The userpage, though... UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 13:15, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
