The current methods for diverting questions doesn't seem to be fully effective.. The questions that make it here ( and other places ) sometimes haven't looked very hard, other times got confused. I am suggesting changing the article to start off with something like
'To ask about how to use wikipedia use Wikipedia:Help_desk, requests for other information can be made on the Wikipedia:Reference desk. The following resources also contain commonly sought answers'
Basically get the help and reference desks to the top and provide other resources later. I would also like to remove the harsh notice at the top - this page will be commonly accessed by new users and the note is the wrong tone. LeeVJ ( talk) 16:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
RfC seems like an advanced and confusing place to link to, especially for newcomers. I suggest removing this link. Computerjoe 's talk 22:47, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
This page makes reference to other help pages. ("reference desk is like a library. Village pump is where you'd discuss technical WP aspects" and so on). It's great, it is very clear and easy to understand. Unfortunately, I go to those other pages and they have big template boxes saying ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE? and then they give -slightly- modified versions of your advice. "This is the place to ask question about USING wikipedia". I know meta work is sometimes frowned up as instruction creep, and not building the encyclopedia, but making the meta stuff a bit simpler for newbies (and maybe there needs to be some bold changes) would help. Or maybe it wouldn't. I'm aware of big red boxes on some pages asking users to "DON'T DO THIS" sometimes appearing to do little to stem the flood of users doing exactly what they're asked not to do. 82.33.48.96 ( talk) 23:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The guide Wikipedia:Guide to requesting assistance was written by Sandstein ( talk · contribs), and he left a message on Help talk:Contents#New help-related info page asking where it could go. I think this seems like the most obvious place to put it. Do people think a link to it here would be appropriate? — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 12:16, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. It'd be great to have a link to the pilot project for the Teahouse listed as an additional source of help. Is it possible that it can be added (and if the project is a success, it can stay, and if it fails, it can be removed)? I do hope so :) Sarah ( talk) 20:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Webstertainment was a popular youtube channel. Of which a young girl hosted it. She had here own shows (previews, chat shows featuring other members). She had fans from her school and the world. But in 2012 she realized her videos were not set to private and random people saw her. Sadly in May 2012 it closed down. Some of her cartoon videos are still in the channel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WOfficial ( talk • contribs) 13:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
