Adoption

I'm very happy that you have asked me to adopt you as a user, I remember when I first started out on Wikipedia I wasn't adopted but I knew at many points I really could use some help from another user who'd been around a little longer. I'd love to start off by asking you what are some of your interests, topic wise, some stuff you find interesting, it's a good starting place. -SantiLak (talk) 03:24, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! Sorry for late reply. You can see my User Page for some info. I'm interested in history, military, video games, and software. I also have a special interest in Geography. I'm very good at random information, and quiz bowl type things. (I know, a bit all over the place). Jfault (talk) 13:43, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

That sounds great, a wide variety of interests is really good and it helps because Wikipedia is so broad in its articles. - SantiLak (talk) 20:13, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

To start off, as bland as it is, I think it's really important to read or at least skim through the Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines page and it's linked pages. The most important stuff to red starting off are Project-wide principles, Core content policies, the list of guidelines, and the list of policies. They are really important for when you interact with other users and how you edit and i'll be honest I had no idea about them when I first started editing but I wish I did. - SantiLak (talk) 20:18, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month is COMING!

Hi Jfault ,

The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:

1. Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
2. Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
3. The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
4. There is a template that you can use on your user page. {{Template:User Asian Month‎}}

Enjoy the Wikipedia Asian Month :) --AddisWang (talk)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016

Wikipedia Asian Month

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Sign up now

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)
