 * Thank you, Ahunt! I hope I stay too. Shikhin (talk) 13:36, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Well there is no shortage of things to do here. You just have to find an area that interests you and work on that. - Ahunt (talk) 13:39, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not too sure of my own editing capabilities, though. Moreover, is there some kind of "wishlist?" which I can't find? And can't think of what areas to work on... :-) Shikhin (talk) 13:41, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * You kind of learn as you go, mostly by seeing what other editors do and asking questions. Most Wikiprojects have lists of work to be done, articles to be created, or articles that need work. Some people specialize in fixing grammar or formatting more than any one topic. One of my interests is aviation, so I keep an eye on discussions at WikiProject Aviation and write articles in that area. - Ahunt (talk) 13:48, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess I'll stick with fixing grammar and minor edits to articles as of now. Thanks! Shikhin (talk) 13:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * That is certainly a good way to start off. If you do that a bit you will find other things that need fixing and discover areas where you know where to find references and add text. It's a learning process. - Ahunt (talk) 14:03, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Started doing that already - reached 21 edits, feeling really good. Shikhin (talk) 17:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Shikhin! I'm Erik, and I saw that you joined WikiProject Film. Just wanted to say, welcome aboard! :) If you have any questions about film articles, let me know! Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 13:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm on to you. :) 71.195.199.100 (talk) 07:28, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Heh, I'm not (in fact, did some anon xkcd edits myself). It's just that people are: a) editing wrong articles b) fighting over articles, so we can't look at the change properly. Shikhin (talk) 07:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and 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 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 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. 01:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
