Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• Wikipedia:Policy Library
• Wikipedia:Utilities
• Wikipedia:Cite your sources
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
• Wikipedia:Peer review
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
• Wikipedia:Village pump
• Wikipedia:Boilerplate text

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

On 5 November, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Chengziya Archaeological Site, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi Rolfmueller, after seeing one of your articles at New Page Patrol, I was surprised to see that an editor who contributes such interesting well written articles over such a long period hadn't already been approved as an Autoreviewer. So I've taken the liberty of rectifying that. ϢereSpielChequers 21:52, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 22:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for creating the articles Shou Qiu and Shaohao Tomb. If you had not done it, I probably would never get around to doing it! -- Vmenkov (talk) 05:09, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

I've not fully reviewed Shi Jianqiao yet, but I recommend that you review an article that you majorly did not contribute, even if at this time you are not required to do so. I've discussed this already in the discussion page. --George Ho (talk) 08:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

On 15 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Shi Jianqiao, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that after assassinating a former warlord, Shi Jianqiao (pictured) distributed pamphlets explaining her deed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shi Jianqiao. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I am going to nominate this article as a Good Article. Feel free to contribute to the review once it commences. Excellent work! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 22:51, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Rolfmueller,

My name is John Robin Hayes, great grandson of W.M Hayes. My Grandfather, William Hayes and my father Robin Ernest Hayes. I knew John D. Hayes, my aunt Barbara well enough to say I knew her.

Are there any questions I can answer or maybe information I don't know? What inspired your interest in W.M. Hayes?

Thank you, John Robin Hayes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnrobinhayes (talk • contribs) 23:25, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

You'll be pleased to hear I have promoted this to GA. The review follows. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:21, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Shi Jianqiao/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This article looks pretty good, on the whole. It could use a bit of expansion of context - the war, background information on Sun Chuanfang, and so on, but, whilst I think that would improve the article, I don't think that's quite necessary for GA.

The major problem that this article has is a questionable reference: Shu, Sheng-Chi (2009), "Transregional Networking in the Chinese Journalistic Diaspora: Hu Wenhu/Sin Chew Jit Poh and Guomindang China, 1929-1937", Master Thesis (National University of Singapore) - is there no other reference that could be used? Master Theses are somewhat questionable sources; whilst it's not necessarily a blocker, if it's replacable with a published source, that would be preferred.

Images File:Shi jianqiao pamphlet.jpg has the wrong date; the date, as given, is after her death. I blame the Upload Wizard, which has a problem with that. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:09, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm open to being convinced on the master thesis, if you can find good Wikipedia policy that justifies its use. The image does need fixed, but this should be relatively trivial. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:09, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Checking again, now that some additional work ha s been done, I note the master thesis is used as one of multiple sources when it's used, and is used for statements that aren't particularly controversial. As such,  Pass Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
