Welcome[edit]
|
- Hey, I see you've been working on the Spokane, WA article! That's great! Recently there's been some drama involved in the article... a user I was helping had adding a ton of stuff to the article, but just a few weeks ago it was found out that they plagiarized some online websites and just copied and pasted that stuff into the Wikipedia article. That user has now since left, but I just wanted to let you know, in case you cared, that this article is well on its way to Featured Article status (the highest quality article status that Wikipedia has). If you take a look at the "article history" on the talk page, you can see the link for the last FAC, and what concerns were brought up (and perhaps you could help us fix them :-D). Anyways, just wanted to drop you a note and personally welcome you (in addition to that template I left above). Killiondude (talk) 15:26, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Welcoming users[edit]
Hiya,
Great to see you're welcoming new users, but there's something important; don't put {{welcome}} on their page - instead, put {{subst:welcome}}. The former just leaves the transcluded template tag on their page, which may be confusing for them, as they can't see the 'code'. If you use {{subst:, all the code from the template it written to their page when you save.
See the old revision of the page, here - edit that, and you'll see what I mean. Compare that to the current one that I edited.
Also, please make sure you put the welcome into a section; it gets the new user off to a good start, regarding the management of their talk page.
Don't be put off though; keep up the good work, and if you need help, you can always talk to us live. Cheers! Chzz ► 18:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
"essay-like"?[edit]
Can you explain in what respects the article you tagged in this edit looks like a "personal-reflection or essay"? Michael Hardy (talk) 00:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
New Page Patrol survey[edit]
 New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Drunauthorized! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.
Please click HERE to take part. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey |
Disambiguation link notification[edit]
Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.
- Kalispell, Montana (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- was linked to Great Northern Railroad
Any suggestions for improving this automated tool are welcome. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 23:46, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers[edit]
Hi Drunauthorized,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
