The Outreach Department of WikiProject Microsoft is a centralized workarea for project recruitment and member interaction efforts. The major programs currently active are a monthly project newsletter and a welcoming message for new members of the project; additional ideas are always welcome, of course!
The Newsletter is currently being revived, and is delivered at the end of each month. However, help is needed, so if any editor would like to help in the production, feel free to leave a message at WT:MICROSOFT so we can coordinate your assistance. Access it via Wikipedia:WikiProject Microsoft/Outreach/Newsletter.
Once a user has joined our WikiProject please welcome them by using the template {{subst:Microsoftwel}}.
We need more members! Invite as many editors (who are working on Microsoft related articles) as you can! Use the above mentioned invitational template on the user talk pages of possbile members!
The current article we are working to improve is Microsoft Word, and the aim for this page is to expand it, revert vandalism, and verify certain information that has become inaccurate over the years, as well as gaining more attention as any and all changes have been either unconstructive or by a singular user. The editor that has the most edits and improvements to this page will earn a barnstar of their choice. The second and third person will also earn one, but one that is pre-decided.
2014 Was a great year let's make 2015 an even greater year! We need to pick up speed and get going! 2015 Will be our come-back year!
From the Editor
Help is needed for the job of putting future Newsletters together. Interested persons need only start working on next month's issue to qualify. It really is that simple!
If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of WikiProject Microsoft. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!
Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!
WikiProject Microsoft maintains an IRC channel at ##wpmicrosoft. In the future, the project may hold live discussions there. To access the channel from your browser, click here.
