Wikipedia Maintenance

[edit]

This section includes a bunch of stuff that you can do to help Wikipedia!

Be BOLD!

[edit]

Being bold means if you think you can help an article, do so, but make sure you cite things! Also, if you happen to see a typo, or poor grammar feel free to edit it! Remember- if no one stepped forward to edit this encyclopedia, Wikipedia would get nowhere.

The bounty board

[edit]

If you want to help Wikipedia by contributing to articles, or you want to donate to Wikipedia but don't have the money, don't worry! Go to the bounty board and start hunting! The bounty board is a place where bounty offerers will offer (real) money for promoting their article to a certain status (usually featured article status). Then, if the bounty is achieved before the expiration date, the money in the bounty will be donated to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation under your name and anyone else who helped by contributing to the article. It's a win-win situation, see?

Welcoming new users

[edit]

Another thing you can do to help Wikipedia is to welcome new users. There are several ways to do this. Some like to do this by hand. If you do, make sure you include links of helpful recourses and a personal message. You may also want to sign it. However, if you want to save time, check out some welcoming templates(WP:WC). Also, there is a gadget in your preferences that can help significantly. To find newbies use this page

Anti-vandalism

[edit]

Anti-vandalism can be achieved in many ways. The first is by hand. This is very slow and you may find that the vandalism will be gone by the time you edit the page. Second, you can undo the edit. This is still pretty time consuming, compared to rollbacking. You have to request rollbacking, though. Finally, there are gadgets and programs that will aid you in antivandalism. I really like Huggle. It is a program. There are also gadgets like Twinkle. You can also use the recent changed feed. The best part of programs and gadgets are that they will not only revert vandalism quickly, but will also shoot a warning and find the vandalism in a flash. It may take up to 5 minuets to find and revert vandalism by hand, but with Huggle, you can do the same is less than 5 seconds.

The Abduction of Europa
The Abduction of Europa is a 1632 oil-on-panel painting by Rembrandt. One of his rare mythological works, it was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, part of which tells the tale of Zeus's seduction and capture of Europa. The painting shows a coastal scene with Europa being carried away in rough waters by Zeus in the form of a bull while her friends remain on shore with expressions of horror. The use of an ancient myth to impart a contemporary thought and his portrayal of the scene using the High Baroque style are two strong aspects of the work. It was also influenced by Titian's painting of the same subject 70 years earlier, although there are significant differences; Rembrandt's painting is less violent in nature than Titian's. The Abduction of Europa is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in New York City.Painting credit: Rembrandt
