User talk:Scribbleink

The list of languages on your user profile is impressive, and put mine to shame. English is my first language, followed by a bit a German, quite a bit of Spanish, and some American sign language. I'm not fully fluent in German or sign language, and I occasionally have some trouble with my Spanish, plus those are languages that a lot of people know, you've got some really neat ones on your list! I also think being able to speak an un-written language is beyond awesome. On a different topic (this may be weird, because it's probably a total coincidence) my friend Kindell (her nickname's Kin) goes by Drawing ink because it is an anagram for her name, and she loves art, is your username an anagram? Sorry, they just reminded me of each other, that was probably stupid.(BluJay (talk) 02:24, 19 March 2015 (UTC))

:{{ping|BluJay}} Thanks. Languages are fun. It is also a mixed blessing for editors, in the sense that you if know know many of them, you likely don't know each equally well. You're right on. Mine's an anagram too, and yes I do love the fine arts. Small world, eh? scribble · ink _chat\^contrib 02:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

::{{U|Scribbleink}} yeah, languages can be fun, and helpful, I plan to use my Spanish skills to teach English in Spain someday! It's really neat that your name is an anagram, I was worried it wouldn't be and that last coupled of sentences would make no sense. My name's not an anagram Jay is just my middle name, so I often pair it with things for usernames and the like.(BluJay (talk) 12:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC))

Hello, Scribbleink. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Introduction and Getting started
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, WP:Cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel (click "connect" to join): {{IRC|wikipedia-en-help}}. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or {{input link |label=click here to ask for help here on your talk page |page=Special:Mytalk |preload=Help:Contents/helpmepreload |preloadtitle=Help me! |type=newsection}} and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:16, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

:{{yo|Howicus}} Thank you. I will need all the help I can get. Not to worry, though. I also have a mentor. scribble · ink _chat\^contrib 01:19, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Calibration, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Loading. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What is the difference between the "undo" link on the "View history" tab of an article, and the "rollback" link of Twinkle?

:{{ping|Yashthepunisher}} Sure, I can take a look. My approach to an expansion is to gather as many references as possible initially. Is there any information that isn't in the article that you believe should be included? ← scribbleink ^ᗧHᗣT 19:44, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

::I have added as much information as I can, but an experienced editor suggested me that the lead is short and it requires a little bit of copy editing.

Well, Hi! I hope you are doing great. Pavan told me to ask you to give a copy-edit to Mary Kom (film). I want it on the main page on 5 September 2015 and that is only possible, if the prose quality improves. It would be very nice, if you could ce it. I shall be grateful for this. I have given so many days to the article and if won't appear on the main page on its fisrt anniversery, then everything will go in vain (my work; since i worked for that purpose). Please.—Prashant 16:14, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

:{{ping|Prashant!}} Hi Prashant, I'm doing well, thanks. Hope you are, too :) Thanks for the hard work you have put in. It is a long article, currently tagged Start-class. Copyediting by a single person (e.g., just me) will take some time. It helps to know what your expectations are. So what is it, exactly, that you are aiming for? GA-class? Or, perhaps "On this day"? From what I gather, the latter does not have as high a bar as the former. ← scribbleink ^ᗧHᗣT 05:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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!
