Adoption?

Hi, Lordevilvenom. I noticed you were seeking adoption, so I'd like to offer you my adoption services. If you would like to join in the fun, please leave a note on my talk page. Thanks, - G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 08:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Your first adoption task

User:G1ggy/Adopt/1- G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 06:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Before anything else, please remember to sign your posts on talk pages. Now, what's your question? I'm not very clear... G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 23:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

You need to add <ref>...</ref> tags, see my diff. So give it another go on another article (or the same, up to you). G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 00:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and PLEASE sign your posts. G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 00:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. edgarde 18:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Ignore this warning, you weren't doing anything wrong. You simply made a mistake in citing, and undid it. G1ggy ^Talk/_Contribs 22:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I've struck this since the deletion was clearly a mistake in good faith. Thanks for leaving a comment on my Talk page. / edgarde 22:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Task 2

User:Giggy/Adopt/2 Giggy _U^CP 02:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Try looking here - click the diffs, you should find something. Also, remember to sign your posts on talk pages, using ~~~~. Good luck! Giggy ^{Talk | Review} 04:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, crud, sorry about this, I totally missed your message :( Anyway, I got it now.

So, your warning was correct, since it was repeated vandalism of the article (level 3 was ok in this regard), but your revert wasn't :) [1] Here it is - See how you only reverted some of the vandalism. In cases like this, you need to open the history [2] and find the last non-vandalised version (in this case, it was [3]). Open that version by clicking the time stamp on it, then click edit, then click save, and the article will be saved in the state it was before all the vandalism. For more info, see WP:REVERT. So...hows about you give that another go ;) Giggy ^{Talk | Review} 22:04, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh, no worries :) Looking forward to you completing the task! Giggy ^{Talk | Review} 00:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Hullo

Hello, and thanks. We need all the help that we can get now that bots are tagging new biographies almost as fast as we can assess the current ones. And the answer to your question would be no, we're thinking of a way for people to "sign" their assessments in the template but it hasn't happened yet. Make sure you do sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes (~) though. Thanks for the note and keep up the good work as well, Psychless 13:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Carom 01:16, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Awards and honors Blnguyen has been awarded the WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves in recognition of his efforts in improving the quality of articles related to Vietnamese military history, including the creation of numerous A-Class articles. Woodym555 has been awarded the WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves in recognition of his outstanding work on topics related to the Victoria Cross, notably including the creation of featured articles, featured lists, and a featured topic. For their outstanding efforts as part of Tag & Assess 2007, Bedford, TomStar81, and Parsival74 have been awarded the gold, silver, and bronze Wikis, respectively.

This message is a test to check to see if members of the Warhammer 40K Project are still online, active and interested in helping the project. If you are no longer interested in the project all you need to do is...nothing! If you don't respond to this I'll take your name off the list and you'll never here from us again. If you're the proactive type you can remove the name yourself or talk to me and I'll do it.

If you are still interested in helping out the 40K project or otherwise still want to be listed there you can say so in response to this message on your talk page or on mine. Alternately you can add our new userbox ({{User WikiProject Warhammer 40,000}}) to your userpage and I'll take that as a response. The userpage doesn't automatically include people in a category of members yet, but it might in the future.

We've assessed most of the articles in the project on the Version 1.0 assessment scale (the table on the project page should take a few days to update) but we need to push to get the core articles in the project up to GA status. Thanks for all your help. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help the project along. Protonk (talk) 21:04, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:52, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

It will follow the Apps for Democracy open source event at GWU. For details or to RSVP if you haven't already, see Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 7.

Delivered by The Helpful Bot at 19:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC) to report errors, please leave a note here. Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16 The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.) The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.) The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify. If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
