Can you help?
I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely. The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words.

If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 03:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi! Yes, certainly, I'd love to help out. I glanced at the Milhist project page and I think that Levels 1-4 fall within my ability. Be warned, however, that I'm just a casual user. My expertise in Wikitext and the subjecy matter is minimal, but I am a good writer. I'd appreciate any guidance you might give me, both within the scope of copyediting the Milhist project and Wikipedia in its entirety. Lordofmodesty (talk) 04:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Changing page names
Hello! To change a page's name, you need to click on the "move" tab on the top of an article. It should be just to the right of the "history" tab. After you click it, you will get a screen asking you for things like an edit summary and what you want the page to be renamed to. I'm sorry, but I can't really show moving a page in any way that would help. If you would like, I can move an example page, though. I hope that this helps. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. Captain  panda  01:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Userboxes
Well, I experimented around a little and added a few, but it didn't seem to change it much. I don't know a whole lot about templates. Sorry, but I really don't know what is doing that. Captain  panda  23:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I really don't know of anyone to ask, but I would suggest looking at other userpages and taking ideas from them for what to do. That's how I made my userpage. I took various templates, ideas, themes, etc. from different userpages that I found. Hopefully, that may yield an answer. Captain   panda  23:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Articles Needing Copy Edit
Hello former LOCE member :)

This is an invitation for you to join a brand-new WikiProject that aims to improve the articles tagged for copy edit. This is pretty important to Wikipedia because there are now over 4,000 such articles, some of which need quite a bit of help. This is not a clone of the LOCE because we will not deal with requests for copy edits, but will happily make improvements to articles at our own pace. If you're interested, sign up at the project page!

Cheers,  Samuel  Tan  02:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops! Your name wasn't updating on the participants list cos of a silly coding error. *bonks head* It's fixed now! See you at the project page. :) - Samuel  Tan  07:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit Backlog Elimination Drive
Hi, as a member of the Guild of Copy Editors you're hereby notified of and invited to participate in the WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2010.

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 14:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:12, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

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.
