- Get your feet wet as soon as you can by being bold in editing (and using the Show Preview button).
- Read what Wikipedia is not.
- Learn how to avoid common mistakes.
- At Wikipedia, neutrality means representing all viewpoints as opposed to just one. Read the neutral point of view tutorial to learn more.

Wikiproject Tyne and Wear
editHi there, I'm currently considering making a wikiproject called Wikipedia:WikiProject Tyne and Wear and I'm just wondering if you would be interested in joining if and when I'ts created as I noticed from a user category you live in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. It would be all about improving and creating wikipedia articles relating to Tyne and Wear. If you have any questions, comments or would like to show interest then please tell me on my talk page and if you know any other users who maybe interested in joining please feel free to tell them as it will need a few members in order to make it run smoothly. I will also be willing to create the project page and templates etc if there are enough active members. Thanks. TellyaddictEditor review! 15:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Excellent, You may wish to leave your name Here as for a project to go ahead it should technically have at least five willing members. Thanks and I'll leave you a message shortly with more information about if and when it's going to be created.TellyaddictEditor review! 16:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Tyne and Wear
editHi Michaeltyne, I'm pleased to inform you that the proposal for a new WikiProject in which you listed yourself as an interested wikipedian (WikiProject:Tyne and Wear) has gained enough interested users in order to become a proper project on the English Wikipedia. I will be creating the project page, userboxes and templates shortly and hopefully creating a project logo. Thanks for showing your interest and I'll contact you when the Project page and other stuff is created! TellyaddictEditor review! 15:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

North East England Newsletter
edit
Michaeltyne, as mentioned on the Project Page, all the members will receive a newsletter informing them of all the latest news about WikiProject North East England. Their are a small selection of news stories in which I would like to bring to your attention:
As you will most probably know, the Project will be one month old in less than twenty four hours, so far the project appears to have been successful so far, almost five hundred articles have been tagged informing viewers that the article is within the scope of this project, the Project now has eight members which is good but I'm sure that will double or even triple within the time of the next newsletter
As mentioned above, urgent help is needed for tagging articles and rating them for their quality and their importance, by viewing:
and all of the subpages, a range of untagged articles can be found, there will be at least a thousand their in which require tagging and I/we need your help in doing this!
That is all for this newsletter, if you would like to bring anything to my attention or have any comments to make then please leave me a message on my talk page or leave a note on the Project talk page and I/someone will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for reading and I hope you are still enjoying being a member. Regards - Tellyaddict 20:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
