Welcome

Hello Gethom, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope that you have enjoyed contributing and want to stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) to automatically insert your username and the date.
Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.

Proposed deletion of Emilios Panayiotou

The article Emilios Panayiotou has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Κυπριακό ποδόσφαιρο

Γεια. Από ότι έχω καταλάβει ασχολείσαι με το κυπριακό ποδόσφαιρο στην αγγλική Βικιπαίδεια. Κάνω το ίδιο στην ελληνική. Τον τελευταίο χρόνο προσπαθώ να αναβαθμίσω τα λήμματα σχετικά με τις ομάδες και τα παλιά πρωταθλήματα. Το τι έχω κάνει βρίσκεται στις σελίδες el:Χρήστης:Xaris333/Ομάδες και el:Χρήστης:Xaris333/Κυπριακά πρωταθλήματα. Κάποια πράγματα θέλουν δουλειά ακόμη (αν ποτέ βρω και επιπρόσθετες πηγές φυσικά). Θα ήθελα να έκανα το ίδιο με τα αντίστοιχα λήμματα στην αγγλική Βικιπαίδεια, αλλά η ευφράδεια μου στα αγγλικά δεν μου το επιτρέπει. Οπόταν αν θες μπορείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις τους πίνακες, τις πηγές και τις πληροφορίες που έχω προσθέσει στην ελληνική έκδοση των λημμάτων για να εμπλουτίσεις τα αντίστοιχα αγγλικά ή για να δημιουργήσεις καινούρια.

Επίσης, θα ήθελα να δημιουργήσω το αντίστοιχο λήμμα στην αγγλική για το el:Πορεία των κυπριακών ομάδων στα ευρωπαϊκά κύπελλα ποδοσφαίρου. Μπορώ εύκολα να μεταφέρω τους πίνακες, χρειάζομαι βοήθεια με τα κείμενα. Αν έχεις τη διάθεση και το χρόνο φυσικά. Cypriot clubs in European football

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.} 02:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
