User talk:Davisagli

Hey David,

A belated welcome to Wikipedia! I see no one else has put anything on your talk page yet, so here are some links that I find useful/interesting:

Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects - this is a great page to give you an idea of how to plug into a broader project. I find I'm much more motivated to contribute if I'm involved with a whole group of people working towards a specific goal. Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting and [[1]] are to projects that I've contributed to that have reached their goals and/or made significant gains.
Wikipedia:Village pump - a good way to get a sense of community life on wikipedia.
Wikipedia:wikilove - page that attempts to sum up and define what motivates wikipedia users and brings them all together. Best line: "We love accumulating, ordering, structuring, and making freely available what knowledge we have in the form." Wikilove compltely caught me by surpise last year when I started contributing, but I've quickly become an enthusiast, if not an addict.
Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense - a page of what not to post to wikipedia articles. Some are funny, some are not. The best ones have been turned into uncyclopedia.
[Wikistats for wikipedia] - fascinating statistics which chart the run away growth of wikipedia, both in usage and participation in editing. This chart is pretty amazing too.

Well, that's enough to get you started. I hope you have as much fun here as I do. mennonot 10:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
