Welcomes of new users

edit

Hello, when welcoming new users, dont forget to welcome them on their user talk page as some users do not want a userpage and that is where messages are supposed to be sent and where you get the orange "new message" bar. Great work with the welcomes! Happy editing! The Sunshine Man 10:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Artemis Fowl WikiProject

edit

Hi. In the last month I have discovered the Artemis Fowl WikiProject and have slowly but surely been making progress. I have, however, noticed that no one else seems to be doing anything. So, it's as simple as this. Respond to this message, or your name gets removed from the participants list and I assume leadership of the WikiProject, because I will actually get something done. You have exactly 1 week, or 7 days, or 168 hours. They all mean the same thing.

However, please know that this is nothing personal against you. This is a generic message sent to every person on the participants list. Thanks for your co-operation. -007bond aka Matthew G aka codingmasters 10:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Admin Coaching

edit

Hey James...I would love to be your coach! Thanks for asking me :). We can get started right away if you like, talk about some things, or just sit back for a bit. This will be at your pace of learning, and I can go as fast as you like, or as slow as you like. Just let me know! Jmlk17 18:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Alrighty buddy! Let's dive right in then. First off, take a little look around our virtual classroom, as this has pretty much everything there is to know to advance from an intermediate editor to an advanced one. See if any topics interest you, review some, and just sorta tinker with stuff. Practice is always a good idea :)! Also, I highly-recommend keeping up with the rfa process, get involved with voting on every single RFA if you can. This will help familiarize you with the process as a whole, and allow you to meet and get involved with our most experienced and highly-regarded admins around here. Some would say that you need a featured article to your credit, but to that I say that I personally never contributed that much to a FA, and only helped 2 articles achieve GA status. Just keep building up those editing skills, working on articles that interest and excite you. It may be a somewhat long process, but hang in there with me, and we can get you there eventually!  :) Jmlk17 20:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: Portal proposal

edit

I'd certainly be willing to work on such a portal with you, although I would suggest calling it Portal:Military of the United Kingdom (or perhaps, Portal:Military of Great Britain), rather than Portal:British Armed Forces. The formulation "Military of..." follows the precedent of Portal:Military of the United States, and also allows for a slightly broader scope. Carom 23:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

No problem - I'll take a look at it a little later. Carom 00:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Are you sure you want to do "monthly" articles, pictures, etc? It's relatively trivial to set up components that will display a random article from a pool of ten (or whatever) each time the mail portal page is loaded. See Portal:World War I, or the unfinished Portal:Royal Navy to see what I mean. Carom 21:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
No problem, give me a few minutes to move things around. Carom 01:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK, I've changed the portal components to randomize, but you will have to create each subpage (i.e. Portal:British Army/Selected article/2. Carom 01:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
