Adopt
[edit]Hello, Vikingboy0129! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia!
- Hi there. The links in the message above, which show in blue, will take you to most places you need to go to. Any qustions, ask me, that's the whole idea. I am on-line almost every day between 8 and 12 pm UK time. I do not know where you are, but I am sure that you can work out time zones.--Anthony.bradbury 00:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- As you will see when you look at my userpage, you are my second adoptee; but I have ample time. I did wait to see if someone else would pick you up, but nobody did, and I could not bear any longer to see you just sitting there. --Anthony.bradbury 01:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Sub-pages
[edit]Yuu will find this one explained in WP:SP, where it does it far better than I could.--Anthony.bradbury 19:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Routine check
[edit]Is all ok? Any queries or questions?--Anthony.bradbury 21:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi there; I note that you have not needed to consult me for some time. Perhaps you no longer feel the need to be an adoptee, which of course is good. Perhaps you could let me know, because if you do not deen me I can adopt someone who does.--Anthony.bradbury 19:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
You're invited!
[edit]Liverpool F.C. wiki
[edit]Hello, I am the lead sysop on the Liverpool F.C. wiki. It is a wiki dedicated solely to Liverpool F.C.. We aim to make the ultimate database for the club we all love. Since adopting the incredibly inactive wiki about a month ago we have greatly increased the article count and modernized it from it's previous state. The problem is there are not many active members on the site and we need more for the site to properly grow. It is well organized and on it's way to be a great site we just need more editors to expand. It is based on Wikia's network of wikis. Like Wikipedia it is free to use and the editing process is exactly the same. If you know how to edit Wikipedia you will know how to edit the Liverpool F.C. wiki. Now for the question you may be asking yourself. Why edit there? Wikipedia has articles on Liverpool. This is true. At the Liverpool wiki it is all about Liverpool. We allow editors to edit anything about Liverpool no matter how trivial. We allow edits on reserve and academy players, and even things as trivial as the fitness coaches for the year 2011. We also do not lock pages to registered users. That means if you have something to say about Steven Gerrard you can click edit and not view source and actually write something. I would love for you to come by and check the wiki out. Feel free to edit any page. Every time you click edit your ARE helping this wiki grow. Thanks for taking the time to read this! http://liverpoolfc.wikia.com/wiki/Liverpool_FC_Wiki --Coffeeclub213 (talk) 00:45, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
