| Welcome to the AfC Mentoring Program |
| This program is for new users who want to get involved in the process of reviewing Articles for Creation. New users will be paired individually with a seasoned mentor who will guide them through the process of article reviewing and prepare them for work with AfC. If you want to start approving articles, sign your name below and you will be paired with a mentor to begin your training. |
About the Program edit
It is as it seems. If you are new to Articles for Creation, or Wikipedia in general, this is the program for you. The program's style is twofold: upon entering the program, you will be matched to a seasoned mentor. They will proceed to help you through an interactive course concerning the different kinds of articles, the criteria for accepting and rejecting an article, and general items of importance in the AfC community and Wikipedia in general. As this program is still currently in development, alpha testers are needed to test the program as it is developed.
