[edit] Banaticus Adoption: Rating Articles

I took the list from Recent Changes, crossed off WP: pages, talk page edits, new user creations, etc. Then I visted the front of each page and put down what I thought it was. I originally wrote more, but right at the end I accidentally hit my touch pad and clicked on a link and lost everything when the browser moved to a new page (I was Alt+Tab'ing back and forth), so I redid the rating and didn't explain as much.

[edit] Reduced List

So, what do you think about that list and how I rated the articles? Should I rate more? Banaticus (talk) 21:04, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I dont know if you read above or not but im currently very inactive due to exams. I will back properly in 2 weeks and will take a look at this then. The ammount of articles looks fine. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 13:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

It's cool, I'm pretty busy too at the moment. Would you like to contact me when you have more spare time or should I bug you again a couple weeks from now? :) Banaticus (talk) 04:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey again. I took a look at your articles listed above. The majority of them are correct, there are a few which have changed but I am guessing that is due to the large gap between when you posted them and i reviewed them. This is a pass :) ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 10:42, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Great -- just in case that didn't pass, I was slowly building a list of articles that I'd tagged for speedy delete (to meet an additional optional category) at User:Banaticus/speedydelete. But, since that list above is ok, I guess I might as well delete the speedydelete list I was putting together. ;) I'm ready for that final test when you are. :) Banaticus (talk) 22:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok :P I guess ill start putting it together now. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 10:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] User:Gjeremy/notice

I put this on my userpage so people could know when Im on wikipedia. Maybe my syntex is incorrect or this is your personal feture. Anyway this should be a standard wikipedia feture.

Hi there. Doing this means that whatever content is on the page User:Gjeremy/notice will appear whereever you put {{User:Gjeremy/notice}}. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 10:39, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help! Oh, and please adopt me! :-)

Template:HELP Hello. I just went back to my page and saw who welcomed me to Wikipedia. I apologize for not posting earlier. I consider myself pretty Internet savvy, but I'm still getting used to Wikipedia. I would love for you a great place to start in terms of lessons, so I can improve, and be able to contribute more professional looking articles.

However, I also need some help/advise. I received an edit war message and this was my reply:

I have only made edits signing in. One post was made accidentally before I signed in. I have not gone back and forth several times. I do not know what that is. I recently reverted Mimzy1990's edits because he deleted the sources I had put up and also after he was warned twice by other users from vandalizing various pages (Generation X, Generation Y, and 2008-2009). I accidentally edited on an old page, so I went back and added the information back, left some of Mimzy's contributions in the intro, but removed the ones where the date was changed from 1982 to 1980. His sources came from blogs and a lawyer's website. I added back my sources from university professors, marketing research, etc. I also deleted the random information about South Korea, India, Greece, which doesn't belong in the introduction at all. I am more than happy to partner up with someone interested to add some information or put it up for discussion in the talk section. I found an article from Emory University about Millennials in the workforce, and am looking into some sources at the Public Library. I apologize for the trouble. However, the user I mentioned has been warned by other people, and he was told to stop or be blocked. He also has a history of deleting information and changing the original date from about a month or two ago. --CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 12:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

You can read that on my page. I will cease any more edits, but I would like for someone to take a look at what the other user provided in terms of sources compared to mine. Also, if you check the sources, they all provide 1982 as a start date for Generation Y. I deleted a definite end date, but it's generally accepted by universities, researchers, etc. that The Millennials start with the Class of 2000, or those born in 1982.

I don't know what else to do. This was the original start date for the article, but all my links, and contributions in the introductory paragraph got erased. I see that as Vandalism.--CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 12:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Unfortunately I am currently to busy to addopt anyone. Good luck with finding someone else. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 10:40, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] In need of mentorship

Hi,

I saw your name over at WP:ADOPT.

I need the advice of an experienced Wikipedian.

I'm currently coordinating development of Wikipedia's Outline of knowledge, and I am having trouble recruiting editors to help build and improve it. I need some mentorship here.

I also need advice on the guidelines I've been writing for the Outline of Knowledge at User:The Transhumanist/Outline of knowledge. Is it good enough? Did I miss anything important?

My latest effort to recruit help on the outlines is a proposal for a contest between all of the country WikiProjects on Wikipedia (about 200 of them). This will be a very big event, and I'm not sure I'm going about it in the best way.

So you see, I've taken on a lot, and I need as much advice as I can get.

I look forward to your reply on my talk page.

Hi there and sorry for my slow reply. I am currently very busy with real life and some other projects I have on the go so sorry I will not be able to mentor you. Feel free to ask me any questions you have here on my page though as I am sure i may be able to help. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 10:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
