- Hi, I'm happy to help, perhaps we could start by you completing as much as possible of what's below then that will give me some information on how we can move forward. Don't think that there's anything too tricky, but all through this adoption process don't be afraid to contact me about anything, however small, here to help as they say. If I don't know the answer then we'll just find out from someone else who does.
Can you fill in the 'A bit about me' and 'What can you do already on Wikipedia? as this will give me an idea where to start? Also add the {{tick}} (
) below so that I can see what you want to do
A bit about me
[edit]Well Im a Boy and... well I dont know what esle to pt in
Where
[edit]- Sydney
- Where you are in the world (not address just city) as if we have a large time difference then we need to take that into account. Paste Let’s have a chat. 20:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
- OK, two things here, if you're in Sydney and I'm in Sussex then we need to take the 12 hour time difference into account, also look where you are placing your replies, you need to write after the last entry to keep things in order, I very nearly missed your Sydney entry due to where you put it. Anyhow as I said have a go at what I've suggested and then then me know how you get on. Paste Let’s have a chat. 13:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
What can you do already on Wikipedia?
[edit]edit But i dont know how to do some things
look Yep of course I can
Things you'd like to do.
[edit]Put a {{tick}} () next to the things you are interested in and would like to get involved with:
- Good article creation
- Vandalism fighting
- adding references
- using images
- Customising signatures
- Anything else? knowing how to do stuff like bold.
If you are unsure of any what any of these are, leave a note here or on my talk page and I'll explain further. Remember to put this page on your 'watchlist' so that you know when it's been updated.
- With regard to vandalism fighting, patrolling the Special:RecentChanges is a good way to see what is happening and you may like to take on Wikipedia:Twinkle to help you with combating vandalism.
If you wish, leave a note here with any queries that you may have and then we can look at what you want to do next.
- You could also familiarise yourself with Articles for deletion? Have a look at AFD or specifically Articles for deletion/Log/2011 June 30 for all the recent deletion discussions. There's a guide at AfD which explains what to do, but basically, try to find something which interests you and assess that nomination. It may be an obvious discussion - an article which serves no purpose or could merged with another etc. Make a decision, and place a bold delete or keep at the bottom of the list. In order to see other comments and therefore help you to see how these things operate, it's probably best not to be the first to vote on a discussion until you are more experienced. Sometimes it may be practical to instead opt for merge with... if necessary. Always add a reason - saying per nom. (per nominator) is very often not viewed as worth consideration. At the end, an admin will review the AfD and make a decision on whether to delete or not.
- I'm sure the guide at AfD explains this a lot better than I do so I suggest that you have a look at that as well!
- To make any word bold just put three ' before and after the word.
Let me know how you get on with this stuff and we can then have a look at images and signatures.Paste Let’s have a chat. 20:41, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
