Hey guys. I've been developing pages for years. I'm just now getting into Wiki. I want to help out tremendously. I like to watch for vandals. Old school I hear. Can someone tell me what I should be doing to make a better positive impact? Maybe point me in the right direction. I want to become an Admin. Twaz ( talk) 02:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I will be monitoring the entries to make sure they abide the above rules.

While I think it's fine for instructions to be here, I think we should point everyone to Wikipedia talk:Community Portal for discussion relating to WP:CBB. Many people might not have intrinsic understanding of how the community portal is set-up with transcluded templates. If they have an issue or concern about the CBB, they're likely to raise it on the Community Portal talk page and not here. -- Aude ( talk | contribs) 18:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to announce a new wiki hosted on a non-mediawiki server here? HamillianActor 21:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
In the middle of May, a portal proposal process was established at Wikipedia:Portal/Proposals. The aim of this is to reduce the proliferation of poorly maintained (or unmaintained) portals, which is indeed an annoying problem. Now, we've had a number of users propose something and then completely disregard the proposal process and create the portal anyway. (see Portal:Sega, Portal:LGBT, Portal:Guitar) And a number of others that didn't even bother to propose (Golf, Ice hockey, Tennis, Oklahoma, Punk rock, University of Texas at Austin, ...). I'm not sure what we can do to prevent creation of such portals. While I hope these portals turn out to be well-maintained, I don't think they should be listed here if they blatantly ignore the process. Thus, I removed Guitar and put up Marvel. -- Aude ( talk contribs) 19:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I think there should be a place on the CBB to make annoucements for portals that already exist, but need more participation. There are many unmaintained portals. I've been going through the portal namespace to find these, and some are salvagable (the topic is broad enough) if we can recruit maintainers. As well, other portals have only one maintainer and could use more. The announcements would be one line, such as " Portal:Archaeology has not updated in months, and needs new maintainers." -- Aude ( talk contribs) 21:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I support the addition of the annoucements about the bounty and reward boards; there's no need to link to MyWikiBiz, but (AFAIK) these haven't been mentioned on here before, and so are useful, at least to me. In any case, it's not vandalism. (I do wonder why whoever added them felt the need to do so in such an obvious sockpuppet, though...) JesseW, the juggling janitor 20:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
We have just created a formal WikiProject for Wikification from Category:Articles that need to be wikified, as its new I'd like to stick it on here as a notice BUT then I boticed the rules above (see I read them first) about new projects only. Well it is a new project - people in the past have never really indentified as being regular wikifiers - yet it isnt a new topic, what do you all reckon to it going on there? We do need to drum up support somehow though as there are now 7000+ articles to go through!!!! --Errant Tmorton166( Talk)( Review me) 13:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I reverted the addition of {{ WikipediaWeekly-subscription}}, primarily because it overwhelmed the section with the logo's size/color, and the misfloat to the left of the Signpost. Can it be replaced with a minimal version (Just a header link to Wikipedia:WikiProject WikipediaWeekly and the contents of {{ WikipediaWeekly-textonly}} would be good), floated under the Signpost? That might work better. -- Quiddity 04:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Would anyone mind if I put up a request for contributors (under New project pages seeking contributors) for WP:ADOPT.

HELP: Hi there, I can't edit the semi-protected page even though I'm logged in. I'm new to this, so please don't blow my head off. I'm probably posting this in the wrong place. I'd like to add www.payorwiki.com to the list of new wikiprojects needing contributors and assistance. Can you help? If so, please do. Thanks. contact AT payorwiki DOT com
In general, there should be flexibility for the pull date, especially if there is a shortage of items. A discussion for designing the main page, or a viable proposal that affects the entire Image namespace is important and should remain longer, whereas a new favorite essay, etc. would not be. Anyway, if there is nothing to put on the announcements list, there is no point in taking things off to make space for new items that aren't there. — Centrx→ talk • 02:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

As we all (probably) know, the Olympics are a month away, and here at Wikipedia the Olympics WikiProject is hard at work preparing pages for the massive editing they will endure over the next few months. In an effort to keep consistency among all our pages, we strive to make decisions together on the project talk page, and stick with those over all of our pages. With 302 events at this year's games and a page for each one, as well as other pages under the 2008 scope, there are many pages that will come under strike from vandals, yes, but also from people who may not know how Olympics pages have been structured in the past. I know it might be bold to suggest it, but if people took the time to see how, for example, the 2004 Olympics pages were set up, it would be easier to edit pages in the future, and I know that from experience.
What I plan on doing in a couple weeks is placing a message on the bulletin board suggesting that users browse other Olympics pages, reference WP:OLY, and join in the discussions on the project talk page before making large edits to Olympics pages. I think this way, those users who see the message will at least have the heads up to know that there is somewhere on Wikipedia where the Olympic Games are organized. In general, I think it will help out the entire site, not least of which us at the Olympics WikiProject, because frankly, if something is done right the first time, there is no need to go back and redo it (something we had to do a lot of on the 2004 pages).
I write this because, again, this is a bold thing to do, because I know the possible interpretations of a message like this (e.g. "Don't edit Olympics pages unless you know what you're doing."), but I can assure anyone who might be opposed that it will do more good than harm. I didn't want this to be a shocker to everyone when I put it up, so this is my heads up to you. If anyone has any suggestions for me, please suggest them! Thanks! Jared (t) 15:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I contribute to the Reference Desks from time to time. A few months ago I posted an obscure question, and several Wikipedians collaborated over a period of weeks to research the answer. This required consulting shelves of library books, advanced Google searching, map reading abilities, and a fair degree of lateral thinking and creativity. Some of the sources went back 100 years. In the end, we got there. I am really impressed by the power of Wikipedia to come up with the goods, and told all the contributors so, with barnstars to thank them.
My question here is: What is the best place within Wikipedia to flag up this fantastic collaborative effort? (My first port of call, Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous), suggested the Communicty Bulletin Board, hence this.) I think this achievement deserves to be known to a wider audience, just how diligent, persistent, and downright clever Wikipedians can be, especially those on the RefDesks. (To save clicking through, I’ll say here that my original question concerned a mysterious island known only as Nuni, mentioned in a biography of American writer John Howard Griffin, author of Black Like Me. The Ref Desk found the island.) BrainyBabe ( talk) 15:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
If anyone has any suggestions for simplifying/reducing the 4 huge boxes advertising the 4 podcasts (wikipediaweekly, notthewikipediaweekly, radiowikipedia, wikipediaupdate), that would be helpful...

Under the culture section, I noticed that when describing the destruction of the Buddhas in Bamiyan the "i" was omitted. Also in a list of the major cities of Afghanistan, the city of Herat has been misspelled as Heart. If an established user would like to take a minute and fix these minor flaws, I'd be very grateful.

It seems as though this template would be a good place to include the Wikipedia Ad template, which displays a randomly selected ad for a WikiProject. Any objections? Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 02:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
The ads were added by Mrjulesd with this edit on 9 December 2014. In light of this pre-existing thread, I have removed the ads, which I also agree are ugly and distracting. Although this thread only had 3 participants, it had a 2:1 oppose-support ratio. With my opinion and presumably that of Mrjulesd, that ratio would now be 3:2. In other words, there would be no consensus for the addition of the ads. Courtesy pings: Bob the Wikipedian, Gary King, Quiddity. Cheers, Jason Quinn ( talk) 12:55, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

This is the kind of worst case scenario for wikipedia, where people are deprived from their hard earned money with false advertising.
Times are not only changing, but have already changed. Wikipedia doesn't allow forums or blogs to be used as citation sources. This is perhaps the dumbest rule in the history of Wikipedia. Approximately 87% of all news sources are blogs and news-forums. Only a handful of sites actually provide newspaper based news articles anymore. Wikipedia should get with the times and allow such sites to be used as news sources. Many corporations only provide their news via forums or blogs, and thus, their press releases are uncitable due to this rule. This is extremely prevalent in the video game industry.-- ILoveSky ( T | C) 06:56, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

{{ edit semi-protected}} I am concerned about my community, I live in the used to be called Kensington Apartments, I have just lived here for just a year, now I am being told that they are renaming the complex the Oakland Apartments, while living here they have gone threw some changes, but my concern is the reputation that the new owners have in not protecting our community, I have heard from long standing residents, that under the Oakland Apartments, they were finding dead bodies,our families were afraid to come and visit with us, the police were very, very, slow to respond to the gun play going on in the community. Now that it is a little safer, somewhat, a calmer and gentler complex, they change it back to the oakland apartmant. They are claiming that they have two swimming pools,free shuttle service to and from the train station,they claim false packages, to fill up the community, My sincere thought and feeling is that we are going to go backward into the living hell that some of have lived threw. When someone can fire a gun and the bullet goes threw a window, it becomes a danger to even get up and go to work. And to live in fear, just because you can not afford to move, and be a prisonerin your own home it crazy. I would like you to print this as a letter from a concerned community. It is going to get worst this time around. Thanks for allowing me to express my concerns. Gwendolyn719 P.S. The shuttle bus transportation stays broken down more than in service to the community.

Wikipedia should get with the times and allow such sites to be used as news sources. Many corporations only provide their news via forums or blogs, and thus, their press releases are uncitable due to this rule. This is extremely prevalent in the video game industry.-- ILoveSky ( T | C) 06:56, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

{{ edit semi-protected}} I am concerned about my community, I live in the used to be called Kensington Apartments, I have just lived here for just a year, now I am being told that they are renaming the complex the Oakland Apartments, while living here they have gone threw some changes, but my concern is the reputation that the new owners have in not protecting our community, I have heard from long standing residents, that under the Oakland Apartments, they were finding dead bodies,our families were afraid to come and visit with us, the police were very, very, slow to respond to the gun play going on in the community. Now that it is a little safer, somewhat, a calmer and gentler complex, they change it back to the oakland apartmant. They are claiming that they have two swimming pools,free shuttle service to and from the train station,they claim false packages, to fill up the community, My sincere thought and feeling is that we are going to go backward into the living hell that some of have lived threw. When someone can fire a gun and the bullet goes threw a window, it becomes a danger to even get up and go to work. And to live in fear, just because you can not afford to move, and be a prisonerin your own home it crazy. I would like you to print this as a letter from a concerned community. It is going to get worst this time around. Thanks for allowing me to express my concerns. Gwendolyn719 P.S. The shuttle bus transportation stays broken down more than in service to the community.

I'm not sure exactly how I should be adding it to this bulletin, but I recently created Wikipedia:WikiProject Cooperation two days ago and felt like it should be noted here. Silver seren C 22:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

explanatory "from newest content" text implies that philistine cowboys from Texas looted Cypriot painted churches, when in fact, the Houston-based Menil Trust donated the money to repurchase and restore those paintings from Turkish thieves on the European black market, on behalf of the Church of Cyprus. This is an extremely insulting and critical omission. Wisaacs ( talk) 02:54, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I've created a new portal, and would like to list it here, but I'm new and not allowed to edit semi-protected pages. Can an established user do this on my behalf, please? I need to get the word out so contributors can start helping out. Jacob.husted ( talk) 16:03, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
