User talk:Wikilibrarian

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Sorry your entry here was a little more rocky than it should have been. People often get overly defensive about Wikipedia, especially if they expect someone is using it for self-advertising, which a lot of people do by adding external links, so don't take it personally that you were accused of this. I'm sure people see now that this was never your intention. If you would like the edits you made before you got an account to be attributed to your new username, you can ask for this on the changing attribution for an edit page. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Some pages you might find useful are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope the bad start doesn't put you off and you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 01:09, Jan 29, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you for the welcome and advice. I don't take my "rough" start here as a strike against Wikipedia. I am sure I will be a positive addition to Wikipedia. Best regards. Wikilibrarian

You might want to format your list of readings like how i've done at History of Yugoslavia (in bullet pt fmt). Cheers, Jiang 03:17, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Homeschooling project

Hello, My name Master Scott Hall (you can call me Scott). I am relatively new contributing to Wikipedia, though I have been a user of it for some time. I am currently soliciting for interest in a Wikiproject that I have proposed on the subject of homeschooling. Before finding Wikipedia, my wife and I were seriously considering, but not quite convinced, to home educate our children.

After discovering the depth, scope, and long-term goals of Wikipedia, as well as the individuals driving it, I am convinced that WP has the potential to revolutionize homeschooling. I am also convinced that home education is the right choice for my family. I have, however, been somewhat discouraged by the oversight of home education in most of the education related projects on WP. There are many potential reasons for this discrepency, but I have resolved to try to do something about it.

Although I personally have very limited experience in building complex Wikiprojects, -templates, -portals, etc., I am confident that the right team can be assembled to tackle these issues. I would like to invite you to join this effort to make Wikipedia the resource for the home education of our children. If you are interested, please visits the temporary project page I have set up. Thank you --Master Scott Hall 08:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Update: The proposed project on Homeschooling was met with a very positive response. As a result, the project has been ugraded to an official WikiProject and can be found at WikiProject Alternative education. We have several experienced Wikipedians on board, as well as some new faces. We still need contributors with backgrounds in education, education theory and philosophy, and specific alternative education methods, such as homeschooling, charter schools, and E-learning from both teacher and student perspectives. There is also a lack of quality resources regarding anti-alternative education issues. If are interested in contributing or just have an interest, please visit the project page, or if you prefer, ask us a question. Thank you again, Master Scott Hall 18:58, 18 January 2006 (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.
