[edit] Articles to work on

It's hard to say! Some new editors like to improve coverage on their local area, or write on topics which relate to their jobs or hobbies. A good idea is to read a few articles that interest you, and see if there is a Wikiproject relating to them. Wikiprojects are places where editors can share ideas about improving Wikipedia's coverage of particular topics, and you might find that someone wants an article that you can start. Another idea is to find "redlinks" in articles you browse to, and try to write the article that will turn a redlink blue. Hope this helps! DuncanHill 21:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eastern Christianity

Here is the Wikiproject to join: Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy there should be a section there to add your name as a member. DuncanHill 22:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help again

I'm not sure what you mean. DuncanHill 12:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes they can, but IP editors can't create new articles, or edit some articlews which have been "semi-protected" (usually articles that are controversial and get a lot of vandalism from IP editors). DuncanHill 22:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know they can. DuncanHill —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 22:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, I can read it - but it might be confusing for people! DuncanHill 10:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Small style note

Hi. Just an observation. On Wikipedia one uses lowercase in section names, so

==See Also==

should be instead

==See slso==

More details can be found in WP:MoS. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dawkins

Re [1], please see WP:CONTEXT. Mikker ^(...) 17:10, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

That's hardly a reasonable demand, right? You want a policy that says "you shouldn't link "rottweiler" and "bulldog" in Richard Dawkins"? But WP:CONTEXT does say not to link "Plain English words" and to link "relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers to understand the current article more fully". It seems pretty obvious that neither of the dogs are relevant to the context of the Dawkins article because they're 'plain English words' and linking them won't help readers understand the article better.

[edit] Blocked

I have blocked this account indefinitely as a suspected Sockpuppet. Review of early contributions makes it clear that this was not a new user and there are disturbing levels of crossover between the interests of this user and Kirbytime but the actual sockmaster is less important than the fact that the account appears to be being used to harrass and stalk another user.

[edit] Missing image Image:Phoenix(Julia).gif

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Phoenix(Julia).gif, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Phoenix(Julia).gif is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Phoenix(Julia).gif, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
