Metamaterials

[edit]

Your help there would be really appreciated, but please try to focus on the content rather than on individuals. Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 03:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Watching pages

[edit]

I don't if you know about this yet. It took me awhile before I started using it. You can develop and use a list to watch Wikipedia articles that you are interested in (including the ones that you edit). With this list you can see the most recent changes that occur on the pages you are interested in. Also, if you want to "wisk" over to a certain article to check out the changes just made, you can do that with this list. Each article that you "watch" is linked to this list. On any given page (article) all you have to do is click on the "watch" tab and it is automatically added to your watchlist. Above the "watch" tab is a link entitled "my watchlist". That is the special page the lists all the articles on your list, and it automatically includes the talk page of each article. You will only see the article on any given day when a change has been made. This would include your changes as well. If you need any help with this let me know. It is a very helpful tool.
