Hamlet

Thanks, I'd personally like to have a Common critical subjects section rather than a theme section, but I don't know what others would think. I think it would easily cover whatever users wanted in a theme section, but have a better focus on scholars and what they think. I've taken a break from the article for awhile, though. I don't like fights. I use wikipedia for fun, and if it isn't fun, than why bother? Wrad 23:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, on your question of why the themes section disappeared. Somebody removed it, saying that it had poor refs. You can see what they said if you look at the page's edit history. I'm actually kind of inclined to agree with them. I may swamp it with a whole bunch of information and good refs in a little while. Wrad 23:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Shakespeare project - New collaboration debate

The Shakespeare project's first collaboration has ended in success, with William Shakespeare reaching FA status! Congrats to all who chipped in! We also had success in our second collaboration Romeo and Juliet, which is now a GA. Our next step is deciding which article to collaborate on next. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shakespeare#Next Collaboration to help us choose. Thanks. Wrad 04:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Hamlet

The Shakespeare Project's new collaboration is now to bring Hamlet to GA status. Wrad 00:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Adopt offer

If you'd like I'll adopt you? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:46, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd made the change in your page. I'm so excited you decided to take my offer. You seem like a good editor. Before you decide let me just briefly introduce myself. I'm 17 years old and live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I've been with Wikipedia for about 10 months. Mostly what I do is work on wrestling articles or other articles; but mostly wrestling. I see that you like William Shakespeare (I hope). If its alright with you I'd like to know a little about yourself. Also tell me all you want to learn at my talk page and I will do the best I can. Happy Editing! Your friend, --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:48, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your recent adoption, Bardofcornish, and welcome to Wikipedia! I saw that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. Being an experienced editor myself, I accepted your request. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the person to see about it - just leave a message on my talk page. Remember, I am willing to help you and make your time here more enjoyable. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, and remember to "be BOLD!"- I'm here to help you; no question is a stupid one. In the mean time, here are some pages that you might find helpful, in case you haven't already gotten the official welcoming:

• What adoption is all about and how it will affect you.
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome and congratulations!

Well, it seems to me that you want to get the job done. And I admire that. If you'd like I would be glad to help you citing the sources. Why I'd pick you? Well, because I was cruising around and I came to your page and I saw that you were a very interested editor. If that helps. But again, if you need anything, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:12, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

I will. Just in case if I'm not in reach this would help you on how to Cite sources. Are there any other sources that you can find? Just asking. I'm so glad I know another Coldplay fan. What's your favorite song? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:14, 04 September 2007 (UTC)

Talking about a topic and replying your opinion. Here you can learn more about: Indenting and Bullets. Hope that answers your question. Forgot to ask you, is the Elizabeth Keckly article the way you wanted it to be? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

So are you having any problems? Or have you been finding your way through Wikipedia? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:57, 03 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you firing me? No, the only reason I asked is because I've seen your contributions and it seems that you're improving. I'm not making it seem that I don't care. I have been busy, I'll admit to that. But, if there's anything that you're finding hard to do, please don't hesitate to ask. If not, then I think it's time that I graduate you. But, before I do, I need to know if there's something your having problems with. Again, I don't want you to go on that I don't have an interest. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:07, 04 October 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations. You have now graduated from the adoption program. <---(make sure to add this to your userpage). It was a pleasure of meeting you and hope you stick to Wikipedia. Would you be kind to sign my autograph book? Oh, I've been meaning to give you this:

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For taking the time and kindess of welcoming new users to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. And, Happy Editing. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:13, 04 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Thanks for signing. I really appreciate it. Heads up, I fixed your Barnstar. I'll talk to you later and happy editing. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:02, 07 October 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup templates

Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "unreferenced", "fact", "cleanup"etc., are best not "subst"ed. See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 16:18 23 October 2007 (GMT).

Thanks

Thanks for joining the Literature project. Hopefully we can do some real good in this area. Wrad 01:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

RE: Long time no see

I agree. Its been quite sometime. What have you been up to? And I hope your having an easy time here on Wikipedia. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

 ThinkBlue  has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

That's good. You're improving your skills here. Welcoming users is another form of way of helping others, keep up the good work. As for me, I've been active with the wrestling project, joined the Saw project (the film series) and have been warning users of their vandalism. Listen, if there's anything thing you need, don't hesitate to ask me or anyone. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Tempest

I see you're editing The Tempest. Can we agree that I won't touch anything above the "Performance History" heading and you don't touch anything below it (except "sources", of course) for the next hour or so, to avoid edit conficts? AndyJones (talk) 15:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Writing for the Signpost

Hello. You expressed interest in writing for the Wikipedia Sign?post (sorry for the delay in responding). I'm sending this message to everyone who commented, so if you have any questions I haven't answered, please feel free to ask me, and I'll try to respond to specific questions.

Essentially, what I'm looking for is writers who can step in and write on subjects that are newsworthy from week-to-week. The content of the stories obviously varies each week depending on what's happening; this is discussed below.

There are three major parts to writing an article:

1. Choosing a topic
2. Writing the article
3. Submitting the article

Part 1: Choosing a topic

As said above, topics will vary from week-to-week. For this week, these particular issues may be newsworthy:

• Bureaucratship candidacies — There are a lot of bureaucratship candidacies this week, for the first time in about six or seven months. I'm personally covering this one for next week, but this is a good example of what might be newsworthy.
• Encyclopedia of Life — This encyclopedia of species has been getting some press, and relates somewhat to Wikimedia project Wikispecies.
• Hidden categories — For those technically inclined, this is a new feature that has some interesting implications.

For more ideas, and for ideas in the future, check the tip-line -- there are usually some good ideas there.

Once you've decided on a topic, make sure to sign up for it in the newsroom, under "Special stories", so that users aren't duplicating each others' work (though multiple writers are certainly free to work together on a story).

Part 2: Writing the article

Now, you've decided on a topic and signed up for it. To write it, create a subpage in your userspace. For my story this week on the bureaucratship candidacies, for example, I'll create it at User:Ral315/Bureaucratship candidacies. The name isn't a big deal, of course -- I'll change it if necessary.

Formatting the story isn't important; for your first article, you should mainly focus on writing a good story, and I'll take care of the formatting when we publish. Try to write it in a newspaper-like tone, avoiding personal comments and opinions in favor of straight-forward facts. The size of an article varies based on what the story is, but a good minimum goal for most stories is two-to-three good paragraphs. Longer articles are even better, so long as they're well-written.

Part 3: Submitting the article

Now, all you have to do is post a link to the article in the newsroom, where you signed up for it earlier. That's it! You're done!

Again, if you have any questions at all, please contact me, and I'll try to respond as soon as possible.

Thanks for your interest in writing for the Signpost. Ral315 (talk) 03:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with some local Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 21:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014

Today's motto...

Three's Company

Nominate one today!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:34, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
