Hi, MJ94! Thank you for adding me to such a great Wiki Community. I am totally new to Wiki in a way of editing & posting an article, so i require a little help from you to understand syntax of wiki page and rest other necessary information's. Thank once again for adding me!!! WikiDiv (talk) 03:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Welcome aboard! I'm happy you're excited about Wikipedia - I love it here and I hope you do as well! I recommend you take a look at the introduction we have. I know it was a great help to me when I first joined. I left some other helpful links on your user talk page that I strongly recommend you check out. Finally, have you visited the Teahouse? It's a great place for new users to learn about Wikipedia in a comforting, fun, supportive, and welcoming way. I hope this helped. Please don't hesitate to contact me again. All the best, MJ94 (talk) 04:03, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, but I meant to add myself to the Hosts list - not the Guest list. Oops! MJ94 (talk) 18:57, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

I thought so. Well, as a fellow host, welcome to the host lounge. --Skamecrazy123 (talk)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Seven

Hello again! We have some neat updates about the Teahouse:

We’ve added badges! Teahouse awards is a pilot project to learn how acknowledgement impacts engagement and retention in Teahouse and Wikipedia.

We’ve got a new WikiLove Badge script that makes giving badges quick and easy. Add it here. You can give out badges to thank helpful hosts, welcome guests, acknowledge great questions and more.

Come join the experiment and let us know what you think!

And...for all of your great work and all of the progress that you've helped the Teahouse make, we hereby award you the Host Badge:

Teahouse Host Badge

Awarded to hosts at the Wikipedia Teahouse.

Experienced editors with this badge have committed to welcoming guests, helping new editors, and upholding the standards of the Teahouse by giving friendly and patient guidance—at least for a time.

Hosts illuminate the path for new Wikipedians, like Tōrō in a Teahouse garden.

Mentorship

Hi MJ, are you still interested in mentorship? I didn't really get you a proper response to your last question. Real life was a bit hectic, but I'm happy to continue now if you're still interested. I had an idea for an article you could work on if so. --BDD (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey BDD, thanks for the note. Sure, I'm still interested if you're still willing. I have, however, started working more at Commons than here. But to answer: I'd love to hear your idea. MJ94 (talk) 04:11, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. I'll post my idea on the mentorship page. --BDD (talk) 17:28, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
