ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

HI!!!I should LOVE to be adopted by you!!!How old are you?I'm 9! --JazzieIce! (talk) 21:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello again. As it seems, I already have two other adoptions that have replied. Sadly, I have too many on board and have to cancel my first request. Go here if you'd still like to be adopted. blurredpeace 07:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hello JazzieIce! If you like, I am interested in adopting you. And, in answer to your above question, I'd prefer not to say my exact age but I am in my teens. If you want to find out more about me, please check my userpage and my userboxes. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 10:40, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for accepting my offer! If you have any problems, you can leave a message on my adoption sub-page and I will get back to you as soon as I can. At the moment, the only advice I will give you is that, generally, Talk Pages are reserved for discussions with other users - information about yourself, such as Userboxes, should go on your userpage. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 09:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations

edit

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal was to gather feedback to help design a tool that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

We are particularly interested in feedback from new editors! We want to make sure this tool meets your needs.

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 23:23, 12 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

As I write this, you have not edited for six months. I am currently assuming you are no longer an active user; if this changes in the future, please contact me to reactivate you adoption. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 13:48, 26 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
