One of the first things I did was become a member of the group! I'll keep plugging away. Thanks for everyone's help. --Itsabouttime (talk) 20:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi Itsabouttime: I also wish to add my words of welcome to you. You have been doing great work. Feel free to contact me at any time at my talk page.Behatzlachah. Enjoy editing at Wikipedia and thanks for improving so many articles relating to Jews and Judaism. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 09:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Help with citations.
Hi Itsabouttime: I noticed your good work and that you are very medakdek and that you are a Talmid Chochem who is technologically savvy with a great command of English. You also have an eagle's eye and must be a speed reader from the quality of work I see you have reviewed and produced so far! It's great to have you on Wikipedia and welcome aboard and you are right, "it's about time" you joined up on Wikipedia, editors like you are a rarity!

There are a variety of ways to cite, such as Harvard referencing, Footnotes, Scientific citation guidelines and see Referencing for beginners.

For better or worse I have taken on and basically use the following method:


 * Step One: If there is a citation system in place in an article, use that one.
 * Step Two: If there is no citation in place, then put these two items near the bottom of the page. This will "activate" the "citation system" on the page:

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Senior Wikipedians
WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.


 * 1) Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.
 * 2) Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.
 * 3) Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.

Suggested goals for this project:


 * 1) To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
 * 2) To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
 * 3) To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
 * 4) To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
 * 5) To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
 * 6) To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
 * 7) To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.

Please add your suggestions for this project at Senior Wikipedians. Thank you, Buaidh  talk e-mail 01:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
