[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I may have found your page based on your contributions or your link repair user box on your user page. If you are not a member, please consider including your name on the project page. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 23:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching
Hi. I saw your application for Admin Coaching, which the user above replied to just recently. You don't appear to have met the pre-requisites for coaching yet, but given the length of the waiting list, you can easily be in that position by the time your turn comes.
If you like, I would be very happy to provide editor coaching in the meantime. I'm not an administrator, but I'm an active editor here and I'd be happy to help you ready yourself for coaching, if you really want to go ahead with it. It'd just be a casual thing, but drop me a line at my talk page if you would like some help. Also, you might want to check out editor review as another way of getting feedback.

- Prerequisites? What prerequisites? WIZARD, a number of coaches have opened up lately and I will try to match you with one if you like. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 15:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Userpage
Hi. I ran into the category of users needing help improving their userpages. Now I'm not the best user page designer, but I'll try to help you. What do you have in mind? :) ↔ ANAS - Talk 20:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Admin coaching, etc.
Are you ready to get started?
The waiting time over at Admin coaching is long (some people have been waiting in line since July). I'm an admin coach with the project, and for my students I set up a group discussion page so that we could all learn from each other. The scope of this concept has expanded into the Virtual classroom, which is an open forum for the teaching and learning of advanced Wikipedia skills.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, as a student, as a coach, or both. Every week or two a new major topic of discussion or classroom assignment is introduced, usually with a guest writer who presents his or her expertise on the current subject and who remains on hand to answer questions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions, such as sharing your expertise, asking and answering questions, etc.
The current topic of discussion is vandalism, and our guest writer is Budgiekiller.
All discussions are open-ended, so all previous discussion topics and classroom assignments are still there for viewing and further participation. There are also sections for posting miscellaneous topics and questions, requesting coaching assistance, etc.
In addition to inviting those who would like to learn, I routinely invite experts from all over Wikipedia to come and contribute for the benefit of all. The VC is rapidly turning into a clearing house of the best resources, methods, and techniques known for working on Wikipedia.
You are cordially invited to participate.
Here's an announcement box which you can place on your userpage or at the top of your talk page for keeping up to date with classroom assignments.
I hope to see you there. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 07:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Responding to your request for user page fixing
User:SMcCandlish/TempWIZARD826 is probably what you were after. You can simply copy that code and paste it over your existing user page. Please note that because you have not actually created most of the content yet, I used the template several time to put dummy content in there; just remove those lorem tags. The fixes: First, I redirected your "Answering Machine" link to your talk page, where it belongs. You should next go to your actual "answering machine" subpage, and replace it with a redirect to User talk:WIZARD826. Second, I combined all the userbox boxes into one, with headings, and ordered them based on their actual usefulness to other wikipedians. I would actually recommend moving the "Personal" ones off of this page entirely and putting them on a /Personal subpage. But anyway, the language (Babel) ones aways go up top. Next came very basic facts about you, then Wikipedia-related ones, then grammar fun, then personal last. Next, I repaired your content layout table use valign consistently and to stop trying to use the full width of the page, which was what was causing all that messy overlap. Just let it flex to the size it wants to naturally, and no problems. I commented out two of your userboxes because they gave bogus info, and added one for English since that was missing. I hope this helps, and has achieved what you were actually aiming for. When you are done with the temporary copy linked to above, please blank is so that I know it can be removed. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 20:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your userpage #3
Have a look on your userpage. I hope you like the new design :) Hovewer, it doesn't look as good as I imagined, but if you add more content to your subpages, I think everything will be all right. Love, Andrij Kursetsky ⊗ 10:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
