In you comment at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Explosions!!!, I think you missed the point - it was an April Fools' Day joke, not a serious nomination. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia, and if you need help with anything, ask me. And feel free to steal stuff from my userpage or talk page (like userboxes, notices etc). See you around! —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 10:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem - I make a special point of welcoming new users - I feel it helps them to become more involved in the community part of Wikipedia (not just the articles), and gives them very useful information on how to write good articles etc - the policy and guidelines links in the welcome box above are essential reading. Anyway, see you around, and if you need any help, don't be afraid to ask me. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 10:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar! By the way, when you stole (:P) the talk header above from my talk page, you forgot to change the link for adding a new comment - it still pointed to my talk page. No worries, I've corrected it for you. If you want to steal anything from my user or talk pages, feel free. However, on my userpage half of the userboxes are in a template format ({{ userbox info = stuff and so on) and half of them are in code format (<div style="background-color:#88ff55 etc) - I'd ask that you only steal the template ones, not the code ones - I'm in the process of transforming the code into templates, so wait a week or two and they'll be changed. If you want a specific one, I'll convert it for you or make one to order. If you do take userboxes, also remember to copy the relevant category from the bottom of the page (so for a Windows XP userbox, you'd have to copy [[Category:Windows XP users as well). Thanks! —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 13:25, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Japan taskforces

In order to encourage more participation, and to help people find a specific area in which they are more able to help out, we have organized taskforces at WikiProject Japan. Please visit the Participants page and update the list with the taskforces in which you wish to participate. Links to all the taskforces are found at the top of the list of participants.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for helping out! ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 08:42, 7 August 2007 (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.} 03:00, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
