Questions for adoptee[edit]
1)What do you want to know about?
- Basic Wiki stuff
- HTML
- Article Creation
- References
- Vandalism Fighting
are some of the things I can help with.
Eh all of the above I guess. Sailor_Moon (talk) 22:12, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Basic Wiki Stuff[edit]
Watchlists[edit]
I'll start by assuming you do not know what a watchlist is. Apologies if you do! A watchlist is where you can monitor pages for any changes that occur. If you put this page on you watchlist (see the 'watch' at the top) you can see whenever I edit it. Ollie Fury Contribs 22:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
So that means when you have something on your watchlist you can see who edited it last? Sailor_Moon (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Correct. Note that you can't own pages, but you can see what has happened to them recently. Ollie Fury Contribs 22:22, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I think I now get the watchlist part. Sailor_Moon (talk) 22:24, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Edit Summaries[edit]
In almost every edit you make, you can leave an edit summary. These allow other editors to know what you have done and make everything work nicely. Try adding an edit summary for every edit you carry out, even trivial ones. Ollie Fury Contribs 22:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I gotta go. Sailor_Moon (talk) 22:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Before you go, what time are you usually on WP? I'll see you again some time! Ollie Fury Contribs 22:36, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Eh probably be on tomorrow at 7:00 am. Oh and by the way, I am a woman. Sailor_Moon (talk) 22:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- OK. Where in the world do you live? I'll create an 'adoptee questions' section here, where you can ask any wiki questions you have. I think it's better for you to ask me what you want rather than me just telling stuff. What do you think? Ollie Fury Contribs 23:12, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I have EST because I live in Georgia. Okay I will ask questions if I have any . Sailor_Moon (talk) 12:28, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- I see you have started using edit summaries- that is good! However I would advise you to fill one in for every edit, even the most trivial (like correcting a spelling mistake). If you want, you can set your preferences to remind you to add an edit summary- go to the editing tab under 'My Preferences' and tick the box at the bottom.

What is vandalism? Sailor_Moon (talk) 23:29, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Vandalism is the addition, alteration or removal of content with the intent to disrupt Wikipedia. It can range from adding one sentence to blanking complete pages. If you are interested in fighting vandalism, I'll show you how you can help. Ollie Fury Contribs 16:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Guidelines[edit]
There are certain guidelines that need to be followed when editing wikipedia. One of them is explained here. The general gist is that you should not edit or remove other users comments unless they are clear cases of extreme vandalism, see this as well. Be careful in future! See you around!
