Help on creating articles
I want to create an article about 1893 Land Run, but I don't know the difference between what sources I can use and what source I can't use. I tried reading the copyright stuff on Wikipedia, but I'm now just confused because It gives years and laws etc. It does not give you a few examples of signs of a copyrighted object. How can I tell if a source is useable or not?
 * You can use pretty much any source for an article. The thing is, you will need reliable sources, especially if you are asserting something that people would be skeptical of.  Reliable sources are usually things like: national/regional newspapers, magazines, books (not self-published, usually), peer-reviewed essays/journals (like a scientific journal), etc.  Generally, promotional material (a product's advertisements, for example) and the like are not consider reliable.  Use your best judgement...other people will let you know if they feel that it's not reliable. — K  e  akealani  05:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Adopt-a-User Program
Good evening (GMT); I noticed you are listed under Category:Adopt Me and I was wondering if you would like me to adopt you? I would be more than happy to give you a helping hand on Wikipedia. I have already adopted User:Db1944 and I believe the time is right to pass on my knowledge to yet more new users. However, this is not a decision to be taken lightly and I ask that you review my user page to ensure that we are sure to get along civilly.

Cheers

Adopt-a-User Classroom created
Good afternoon (GMT); further to your acceptance of me as your adopter under the adopt-a-user program, I have created a virtual classroom at my user page in order to manage the workload I have helping both you and my other adoptee, David (User:Db1944). I hope this method of assistance will be suitable to you.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 15:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Disputes Essay
Good afternoon (GMT time); I hope your Wikipedia activities are flourishing. Just dropping by to draw your attention to the essay that I've written at the Classroom Talk Page (User talk:Anthony cfc/aau-classroom) entitled "Disputes and how to avoid them".

The essay covers my golden rule which I think would be useful for you to bear in mind if you ever get into hot soup on the encyclopedia. If you aren't going to go by it, at least read it and ponder over it for a second or two.

Remember, I'm never more than a talk comment away, so please feel free to post a message at the classroom talk page and I'll get back to you. Also, if it's important, bin the classroom and post right on my talk page.

Cheers and regards, Anthony cfc  [ T &bull; C] 15:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
