Welcome
editHello, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Ambi 08:29, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
P.S. If you're interested, a few of us have got together and tried to get the Melbourne/Victoria-related articles organised at Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne.
- Great to see you've become a member of the WikiProject! We're always on the lookout for extra help. Check the open tasks list for some needy articles. TPK 10:25, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Melbourne articles
editHey there, I don't know if you've checked up on the WikiProject Melbourne recently, but a few of us have decided to adopt an article or two. The idea is to pick a lacking article and "be in charge" of it - do the research, writing, maybe even picture-taking. We're trying to build up the number of qualiy articles, instead of thinly-spread stubs. Don't feel you have to do anything :), but if you want, pick an article and add yourself to the list.

scaly leg
editThanks for submitting scaly leg to "Did you know". However, be advised that since items on the front page need to be diverse, it might take a bit for it to get featured, since there is a human skin disease on the list waiting to be featured as well. Feel free to submit more items if you come across an interesting fact. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 14:12, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project
editHi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)
Sea-sickness
editHi Paul, you tagged Sea-sickness as needing attention. I thought you might like to know that I have tidied the article up while trying to keep the spirit of the original. This is my first attempt at Wikification. Cheers. --Etimbo 00:27, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Nice work on the catsear article. If you need some taxonomy tips checkout Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life, there are heaps of links to taxonomy databases there, and people who will give you a hand if you need one. --nixie 11:19, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
tagging articles
editPlease put semi-permanent templates like {{expansion}} that only are useful to editors, on talk pages (the only exception I can think of would be the different stub templates). This is to Avoid self references as much as possible and make our content more useful to third party users. Thank you. :) --mav 08:58, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Please ignore mav's request. He/she has been making this request to many users but it is counter to policy as stated on the very page that she refers people to, which is as follows:
- However, there are exceptions to this. In particular, an article which is still in its initial development or under dispute often will include tags such as "stub", "npov", and "expansion" to help editors further develop the article, and the text in these templates include self-references. Try, however, to limit such self-references, even in templates.
