How does one join a Wikiproject?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Is there any way to actually join a Wikiproject? I've been trying to help out with several of the psychology articles, but is there anyway to become a member of a specific project? Does membership even apply to projects?

Yes, just look around the member list or list of participants of the wikiproject you want to join, most or all allow anyone who would like to to join by simply adding their name to the list of members. Monty ₈₄₅ 00:41, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While it looks like you have been an editor for more then a year, let me offer you a very belated Welcome!. Monty ₈₄₅ 00:49, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) Yes, though what it usually entails is simply adding your name to a list of members. Wikiprojects don't normally require anything of you and have no membership criteria. By joining you're simply letting them know you are interested in the area, might wish to be informed of things of possible interest to the members, might be available for collaboration and so on. You can join the psychology wikiproject by adding yourself here, which is the Participants section of the project page. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Belated Welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Travza. I see that you've already been around awhile and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Monty ₈₄₅ 00:49, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trying To Find An Article...

{{help}} My apologies if such requests are not customary for the help tag, but I'm kind of frustrated by not being able to find this particular item. On wikipedia I once stumbled across an odd article discussing a fake RPG that can be found on the internet. The game advertises being completely interactive when in reality the only interactive element is creating the character. After generating the character the game proceeds to load up a series of windows with loading bars indicating that your character has "succeeded at killing the knolls" or "killed a rat". Nothing is ever rendered and the amusing bit is that the game continues to go on with the quests without any further participation of the "player". The game is also a browser based game that one can download to their desktop if they are so inclined.

I recall the game had the word "action" in it's title, but beyond that am at a loss as to what the game is called nor can I find it in the listing of games on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Travza (talk • contribs) 20:17, 14 April 2011

This sounds like a good question for the reference desk...hold on a moment, I'll shift it over there... Chzz ► 20:32, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...see Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous#Fake RPG. Keep an eye on that page, and I'd hope you might get a response within a day or so. Cheers, Chzz ► 20:35, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

....there is one answer there already. Cheers, Chzz ► 20:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural crying

Hi, You queried this difference between cultures and childhood crying a while back, so I thought you might want to know. I checked the reference and there was nothing in it that supported the claims made (so I removed them.. The word 'Asia' was only used once in the book, and 'Africa' was not used at all) [[1]] Clovis Sangrail (talk) 03:17, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
