From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the WikiProject Romance Outreach

The outreach department of WikiProject Romance is a centralized work area for project recruitment and member interaction efforts. The major programs currently underway are a welcoming message for new members of the project and a member invite; further ideas are always welcome, of course!


Unregistered users

[edit]

Members of WikiProject Romance are encouraged to invite unregistered users to register accounts on Wikipedia. Members can invite unregistered users by going to their user talk pages and pasting {{subst:Register|~~~~}} there. Please review unregistered users' contribution history to see if they have made a series of valid contributions to ensure that they are not dynamic IP addresses who may miss the invitation due to having a different IP address the next time they edit. Unregistered users who participate in talk page discussions should be especially invited as they are likely to be more responsive to invitations. Below are two links for identifying unregistered users:

Inviting potential members

[edit]

Members of WikiProject Romance are encouraged to invite registered editors to join the WikiProject. Please extend the invitation to editors who have made contributions to romance-related articles or have participated in discussions about romance-related topics. They can be invited by pasting {{subst:WPROMANCE Invite|~~~~}} on their talk page. The template will automatically create a section heading.

The template is displayed below. See Template:WPROMANCE Invite/doc for further instructions on usage.

Welcoming new members

New members of WikiProject Romance can be identified when they add themselves to Wikipedia:WikiProject Romance/Participants/Member List, so please watchlist the page and welcome the new members. Below is a template that a new member can receive to learn about the different resources that WikiProject Romance can offer. On their user talk page, paste {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Romance/Outreach/Welcome|~~~~}}.

Welcome!

Hey, welcome to WikiProject Romance! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of romance authors, books, awards, publishers, and romance book characters. If you haven't already, please add {{User WikiProject Romance}} to your user page.

A few features that you might find helpful:

  • Most of our important discussions about the project itself and its related articles take place on the project's Notice Board; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.

There is a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Want to jump right into editing? The style guidelines show things you should include.
  • Want to assist in cleanup and maintenance? The Maintenance page will give you ideas on ways you can help.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!
