[edit] Contribution of content

Does this mean "mainspace" contributions excluding reverting vandalism? PeaceNT 14:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

By content I meant to refer to all of those things that comprise the encyclopaedia; this is mainly mainspace material, but also things like images or other media, and maybe also work on portals. --bainer (talk) 15:03, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This Page.

Question: this page will remain as an archive and not get deleted, correct? Just asking because I'm curious. Acalamari 19:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking it would be like the survey. bibliomaniac15 22:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disbelief

As of this writing there are 75 unfulfilled requests for coaching at Wikipedia:Admin_coaching/Requests and over 800 listings at Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls. Go help them out. DurovaCharge! 04:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Can't they just read this page instead? <feeling lazy> :-) Seriously, you are quite right to say that. But you really don't want everyone trying to be a teacher. Who teaches the teachers? Some of those 800 listings will be unsuitable in some way - how do you, or whoever approaches a crowd like that, handle that sort of thing? Maybe you should add mentoring someone in some way (whether it be improving them as an editor, as a wikignome, as a copyeditor, as a reviewer, as a mediator, or as a potential admin) to your triple crown. Well, you'd probably have to invent a new award. Maybe a mentoring triple crown, with the types of mentoring I mentioned above? Carcharoth 01:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
