If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Benzband requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Yash t 101 :) 08:32, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove
Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in

General relativity. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create
consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please
comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a
bot about
this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please

Hey there Benjamin Z. Band, I'm wondering if you'd like to use your template-y knowledge to help me out on a Project. The CVU started an ill-fated attempt reorganization recently, and the only really actionable idea that came out of This discussion was the idea of creating a Counter-vandalism Academy. The idea is, like Admin Coaching had been, to pair seasoned Vets with some wet-behind-the-ears Counter-vandals to help the latter learn the ropes. There are a few Templates that I think would be useful for the project, and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to help us out on that front. Just drop me a line here if you're interested. Cheers!

We have added information about the quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 12:53, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

There are more than 80K unassessed articles about US. I had a idea to start a contest regarding Assessment.
I thought that United States has a good number of articles now and needs clean up.
This will be beneficial for articles as well as editors as they will be able to interact with editors in their country and will learn new things and can obtain a lot of knowledge about their country.
There are similar contest which have been a great success. For e.g.,
Though no one has taken interest yet in this contest despite of leaving a message on WP United states' talk page. I have gone to bot request to convey a message. So have to wait or have to convert that project as a failed project.
If you are interested then please let me know. And if you want to take part in its coordination then please tell as I'll need help in coordinating it, because currently I m the only coordinator. Yash t 101 13:53, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ben! Thanks so much for providing input and lending a hand at the Teahouse. Just curious if you'd have interest in being a Teahouse host?. Teahouse hosts are super important, especially during this pilot period. While answering questions is awesome, we also need help in inviting editors, tracking data, etc. I know it's not the most fun stuff, but, it's a really really important aspect. I hope you'll consider lending a hand! Thanks! Sarah ( talk) 14:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Ben! Thank you for signing up to be a future host at the Teahouse. Well, great news - the future is here, we'd love you to be a Teahouse host! During this pilot time, Teahouse hosts do more than just ask questions - they invite new users to the Teahouse and track those invitations, they also provide input and insight into the development of the Teahouse. A few things I'd love to see you do as a Teahouse host:

Benzo, this was kind of your baby, did you want to take a shot at building the page to fit your vision? I think you're the only one involved in the Academy discussions with any sort of experience at The Teahouse, so I think you'd be the most qualified to give it the ol' college try. The only thing I want to see would be a header with (among other things) links to Teahouse questions and the Help Desk, with information on when you'd use each of the three forums. Something like "This page is for X, for new editors looking to Y, see the Teahouse, for more experienced editors with questions unrelated to X, see the Help Desk" (except that that is terrible technical language that will likely turn off any newbies that stop by.

Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I asked Sarah Stierch who might be good to talk to, and she gave me your name.
I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project.
Thank you for your time,

Benzo, this was kind of your baby, did you want to take a shot at building the page to fit your vision? I think you're the only one involved in the Academy discussions with any sort of experience at The Teahouse, so I think you'd be the most qualified to give it the ol' college try. The only thing I want to see would be a header with (among other things) links to Teahouse questions and the Help Desk, with information on when you'd use each of the three forums. Something like "This page is for X, for new editors looking to Y, see the Teahouse, for more experienced editors with questions unrelated to X, see the Help Desk" (except that that is terrible technical language that will likely turn off any newbies that stop by.

Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I asked Sarah Stierch who might be good to talk to, and she gave me your name.
I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project.
Thank you for your time,
Victor Grigas

Would it be possible to take a look at this diff and make up a Template for everyone to use to congradulate their Graduates? I'm sure my template hero won't fail me now. Achowat ( talk) 13:12, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

That's why I used {{ Collapse top}} and {{ Collapse bottom}} rather than {{ hidden}} - they wrap and don't cut across TOC etc. NtheP ( talk) 10:41, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
