Hello!

Hello, Talemon! You were indicating you wanted adoption on your userpage, so I offered. If you want to accept, indicate here or my talk page. Thanks, mynameinc^{Ottoman project} 20:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

You are my first adoptee, so I guess we'll have to learn the process as we go, broski. Also, if it is a talk page (the namespace, or the part before the colon, is Talk:, User talk:, something like that), then use a friendly tone. If it is not, use an encyclopedic zone. Also, it would benefit both of us if you gave me your time zone,. Mine is United States Eastern Time (New York). mynameinc^{Ottoman project} 19:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

First, go to Preferences, then go to gadgets, and check Twinkle. Then, find a WikiProject that interests you, and join. WikiProjects are organized efforts to improve a group of articles about one topic. Examples are WP:TURKEY; WP:OTTOMAN; WP:MILHIST; WP:FILM. Then, go to the top of the page and click "watch". From that point onward, whenever you go to your Watchlist, it will show the most recent change of the watched page, whic is really useful for keeping up with a conversation. mynameinc^{Ottoman project} 18:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

First assignment

Your first assignment is to start one article, and get it to Start class. When you think it is start class, let me review it to be sure. mynameinc^{Ottoman project} 00:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey)

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Wikipedia:Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:05, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
