If anyone has any comments about my editing of wikipedia articles you are welcome to state them here.



Welcome to Wikipedia!
Greetings Gregorvitch, and welcome to Wikipedia.

Your first article is coming along nicely. Most of the editors here are more than happy to help out, sometimes without stopping by to say hello. I was using a tool called AutoWikiBot when it came across your article, and asked me if I wanted to accept the changes that it suggested. I agreed, and saved the changes. Pretty neat tool.

If you have not had a chance, take a look at Manual of Style (layout). It has tons of information on article layout, what to do, and what not to do. I do notice one thing while typing this, and that is your use of the html tag . It is almost unnecessary here, as you only need to make a blank line to do the same thing.

Please continue adding material to your article, and keep improving your editing skills. If you have any questions, please ask on my talk page. Regards,  Buster40004  Talk 16:41, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Buster40004 for replying so quickly. I did read the article on layout after that wikify tag was added. But maybe I need to read it 3 or 4 times to know it well. There are lots of other help articles for me to read. Thanks about that advise on .Gregorvitch (talk) 02:59, 22 August 2011 (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!
