Help
Hi. If You  would  like help  with anything, it's often better  to get it from an experienced old hand, so don't  hesitate  to  ask  me  on  my  talk page, or  another  experienced  editor. You can of  course  always place  the 'Help' template  on  your  talk  page, but  you  would  need  to  explain very precisely exactly what  help  you need.

Please provide me with links (like this: page name ) to your draft pages so that I can find them and check them out for you. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:12, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Please remove the Lady of the Lake (ship) article
Please remove the above reference article that was moved yesterday and I had re-created a few days ago as Lady of the Lake (1833). The Lady of the Lake(ship) is a duplicate. Sorry for any confusion.

Great start on an old sailing ship article!
Hello, Njbook! Great start on an old sailing ship article. You deserve the "Added Sauce" award for jumping right in with all those references!

If you join up with WikiProject Ships, you'll find lots of friendly people to help you get going with more ship articles ... (Sailing ships are still pretty wide open for contributions, as people tend to cover the naval vessels first.) For sailing ships, I've put a bunch of useful links on my user page to help you.

FYI, I posted a note over at the WikiProject Ships talk page to get your two versions of the article merged together. Djembayz (talk) 16:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article List of rail accidents (1900–1949), please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * Thank you, I see that's been done, although it didn't appear right in the references section. I've changed it to use the cite web template, and also on your new Indianola train wreck article, where I've made a few other changes.  You may wish to change the other references to use that (or the similar cite news template) as well.  I'll watch this page for a few days, should you wish to reply.

Survey: use of Chronicling America on Wikipedia
Njbook:

My name is Donald Taylor and I'm the Wikipedian-in-Residence with the University of Maryland Libraries, Historic Maryland Newspapers Project. The Historic Maryland Newspapers Project is a part of the National Digital Newspaper Program, a joint program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities. We are digitizing historic state newspapers for inclusion in the Library of Congress's Chronicling America online digital collection of America’s historical newspapers.

We are conducting a survey of Wikipedia contributors who have cited Chronicling America as a reference in their edits to Wikipedia. It is the objective of our study to identify ways that Chronicling America might be made a better resource for people editing Wikipedia. We recently used Linkypedia to identify contributors who have used Chronicling America. As an editor who has made use of Chronicling America, we hope that you will take our survey.

If you are interested in taking our survey, you can do so at this website.

More information about the survey is provided before you begin answering survey questions. Participation in the survey is strictly voluntary. It should take you less than thirty minutes to complete. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. If you have any questions about this survey, you can contact Donald Taylor, Wikipedian-in-Residence for the Historic Maryland Newspapers Project, at dwtii@umd.edu, or Elizabeth Caringola, Historic Maryland Newspapers Project Librarian, at ecaringo@umd.edu.

If you decide to take this survey, please do so within a week, by Wednesday, 31 July 2014.

Thank you for your contribution to our study.
